I see none of those things because I don't engage in those things

#

Also it's just Deadlock

#

The point is deadlocked is bad because i won't play it and they should make half life 3 instead

We already have The Doorman

when gabe newell learns how to count past 2 we'll get half life 3

Valve don't really have a reason to make a Half life 3 rn

#

Half-Life is their flagship into new technology, new experiences.
There isn't really any of that rn

State of Decay 3 is releasing soon… State of Decay 2 kinda fucking sucked. I really hope SoD 3 releases with an actual story and more world building. Fuck State of Decay 2 lacked that so much. The Heartland DLC was a bandaid fix attempt and not a good one.

like

#

the first two games

#

are so easy for no reason

#

even with all the curveballs and shit

grim stream
#

“People want an actual plot to follow instead of having the whole game be State of Decay 1’s Breakdown DLC? Let’s release a paid DLC to fix the problem we created with the base game.”

#

Ugh

grim stream
#

A video I made to showcase how absurdly easy the game is

#

I feel like they did decrease the difficulty to cater to more casual gamers

Less fucken go

tbf tho some ppl struggfle with it

somehow

State of decay 2 was so peak, loved every moment of it.

#

debating on switching out the hull mods

neon bramble
#

consider picking up hardened shields

#

frigates are basically dead the moment they're overloaded

#

once you have decent ships for frigate zoning duty you can swap out the swarmers for atropos torpedoes or harpoon missiles

#

maybe missile racks

#

wolves are slippery enough that they can't be pinned down by most frigates as long as they can hide in a friendly cruiser's firing arc

#

should consider picking up some more good cruisers

#

unless you're doing a wolfpack build

which is a mule and a gunship i forgot the name of

neon bramble
#

Hyperion?

#

not sure if ai use of its system got tweaked

#

look for omen or monitor class frigates

#

best in class rn

quasi slate
twin bear
#

but it over extends itself i plan on having a few of those

#

very very good for area denial dealing with drones so far

neon bramble
#

that thing is expensive for it's size, and what we call a superfrigate

#

not really ideal in AI hands for real fights

#

superfrigates are best player piloted and magnificently for best results

#

that thing costs more than an eagle class cruiser and almost as much as an onslaught class battleship to maintain monthly mind you

#

the damn thing has a logistical and deployment footprint of a cruiser

#

@twin bear not something you want to spam

twin bear
#

nah not that

#

lemme show u the one i want to have a squad of

neon bramble
#

but the cruiser flux stats with frigate speed and size plus the ability to literally teleport behind things is ideal in player hands

twin bear
neon bramble
#

ah yea I was wondering how you have a bunch of hyperions for a moment

#

new player favorite

#

I like giving them atropos w/ missile racks

#

AI has a bad habit of wasting hammers on other frigates

twin bear
neon bramble
#

I dont give them orders

#

they are slippery and will hide behind my cruiser's firing arcs when nessescary

twin bear
#

i havent tried not having them on escort

#

might be better

neon bramble
#

escort order by design gets the escorting ship killed

twin bear
#

ye thats what the pirate ships are for

neon bramble
#

you use it to tell the ship to die for more important ones

twin bear
#

thankfully nothing ive ran into can really hit them hard enough

#

but i choose very carefully who i engage

neon bramble
#

should get a feel about how big fights will go by the time you get bigger ships

#

I highly recommend getting three or four cruisers to anchor your smaller ships around

#

my usual order of battle is to use two to three defend orders in a line to get my fleet in roughly a decent battle line

#

automatically will flex in response to pressure

#

just try not to overextend past your fleet

#

however this relies on me being proactive with a punchy ship so YMMV

twin bear
#

i will look for cruisers

#

been doing that ngl what systems have the good ones again?

#

prolly core world area i presume

neon bramble
#

check military markets

#

even w/o commissions the bm might have good designs

#

but since you're comm'd with hegemony you can avail decent lowtech designs and eagles

#

the only ship I dislike from their lineup is the dominator

#

but that's largely my preference towards maneuverable firepower

twin bear
#

and a few other things

#

im gonna go to heg home and look there

#

prolly find smth on black or mil markets

neon bramble
#

dominator does exactly what it says\

#

dominates it's forward firing arcs with two heavy ballistic and 3 missile mounts

twin bear
#

huge poop blasts in one direction

neon bramble
#

not very good elsewhere

hazy monolith
#

like

#

kenway's fleet?

#

from assassin's creed black flag?

neon bramble
#

but spess

#

turns bad without skills and maneuver jets

#

but it's a fat brick that wont be displaced if you have the fighter cover and escorts

twin bear
#

not worth for me honestly

#

i need to bulk up forces

neon bramble
#

fat fuck is a brick wall in fleet fights

twin bear
#

just got a tanker to travel to abyss

#

for fun

#

😭

#

too many people begging me to just take a look

#

but lowkey

#

why is there jusy

#

limbo

neon bramble
#

if you set your defend orders slightly behind the point of contact with the enemy it encourages your fleet to push as a wall

neon bramble
#

ofc only if you're actually winning the fight

twin bear
#

i have avoided yt for this moment

#

i truly hope there are

#

at least

#

smth cosmic

#

i bet theres prolly aliens

twin bear
neon bramble
#

my strats only work if you're actively in the thickest of the fighting so keep that in mind

twin bear
#

i have fought in a like

neon bramble
#

cause I'm relying on the AI to not pussy out and leave me out to dry essentially

twin bear
#

32 size battle or wtv but it was like three diff divisions of scavengers?

#

why did they fight

#

did i like

#

miss out on free loot

neon bramble
#

they think they're stronger than you are

twin bear
#

one side was red

neon bramble
#

so they can turn pirate on the drop of a hat

twin bear
#

the other was inde

twin bear
#

shit

#

thats sick

neon bramble
#

if they kill you it's more loot

twin bear
#

im currently attempting a huge raid

neon bramble
#

yummy yummy loot

twin bear
#

on a station

#

says minimal loss

#

🙏

twin bear
#

lmao

neon bramble
#

yommers

#

good way to stock up on cheap small guns

twin bear
#

the guns sell good on black market when i have no storage

neon bramble
#

indie scavs turned pirate have better access to weapons than pirate pirates

twin bear
#

i did get a ton of energy weapons

neon bramble
#

I usually have a small pile of PD lasers and vulcans for when I need it

#

and up to 10 of most other guns

twin bear

I dont really colony tbh

twin bear

idek what to do with my fucking scrap

not a fan of being tied down

dump it for more loot

there are other more useful modifiers for colonies

you'll find out when you explorem ore

i want to build like

ofc

and support doctrine iirrc

twin bear

heg is not my home after all

both of those skills reduce DP cost of ships

twin bear

cannot wait until

neon bramble

so you can field more!

twin bear
#

i can act against factions on my own will

#

and succeed

#

def gonna sat bomb every planet i can

#

i did learn aboput that

#

on wiki

#

wiki has so much

neon bramble
#

drops 10,000 units of fuel on civillian centers

#

remember to use .gg instead of fandom

#

fandom will be obsolete soon with the next update, which is soon™ apparently

#

I think I wont touch the game until then

twin bear
#

i dont wann relearn so much

#

lmao

#

that sounds insane

#

given i barely understand the combat or anything atm

neon bramble
#

no clue

#

nah mostly story content

#

a few balance changes you probably wont notice

#

but generally for the better

twin bear
#

i refuse to let this ship go after all it has done for me

#

out of honor

#

and respect

neon bramble
#

me who has never used civvie combat ships outside of the venture

twin bear
#

bro just chills behind my big bois and spams drones

#

great for my lack of fighters

#

i have zero flight bay

neon bramble
#

I accidentally stumbled on a financial rush strat from my recklessness

twin bear
#

ah i love being able to understand some of the very complicated games because this sounds so weird to anyone who doesnt play

#

😭

neon bramble
#

the combat is honsetly fantastic once you get around the basics

twin bear
#

hostilites with luddic and the corp is insane rn

neon bramble
#

tbh it's the meat of the game

#

real fleet combat

twin bear
#

i am being dragged across thr sectpr all the time

neon bramble
#

good player fleets tend to be elite

twin bear
#

mfers want me to take out big ass stations

#

i barely know how to survive although i can make millions in a few cycles now at least

neon bramble
#

need a capital to take out a low tech star fortress

twin bear
#

i learned how to smuggle and mug very well

#

plus i spam ind missions when i lose rep

#

ez

neon bramble
#

those things are horrifyingly well armed

twin bear
#

like

#

i couldnt even get a qwuarter flux

neon bramble
#

nah not shield

twin bear
#

going

neon bramble
#

armor

#

armor for days

twin bear
#

even after the shield?

#

jesus

neon bramble
#

:)

twin bear
#

🥀 i do have anti armor but

#

not nearly enough

neon bramble
#

you need capital firepower

twin bear
#

ill prolly have two squadrons for different things and a main bulk force

neon bramble
#

HIL sunders will explode trying to beme it

twin bear
#

whats a good capital ship to keep an eye out for

#

ive looked but

#

cannot get one at all

neon bramble
#

honestly all of them are good

twin bear
#

cant even find one

neon bramble
#

I just hate the paragon and atlas for reasons

#

(they dont agree with my playstyle)

#

capital ships in vanilla are divided into three classes

#

battlecruisers, battleships and dreadnoughts

#

if you know irl navy designations that should be all you need to know

quasi slate
neon bramble
#

battlecruisers trade armor for speed and firepower, cheaper to deploy than battleships but still sport capital grade powerplant and firepower

neon bramble
#

the ultimate in punching down and quickly demolishing escorts to isolate enemy heavies they can't slug it out with

#

battleships dominate their immediate area with lots of large and medium mounts, the vanilla ones generally excel as anchors and at taking on other battleships head on and want to be the centerpiece of your fleet

#

the only dreadnought in the game sports an only large weapon loadout and outright deletes whatever it's looking at with it's system on

#

no shields but a disgusting amount of firepower to bear

#

(I like battlecruisers the best)

twin bear
#

is there a

#

capital

#

cap per fleet

neon bramble
#

no

#

they're expensive though

#

like, to get and maintain

#

if you can upkeep it, go ahead and have fun lol

twin bear
#

worth it

#

soon

#

well

#

eventually

#

lowkey

#

might modify my game to turn

#

some commanders

#

into elites

#

why not

#

😭

neon bramble
#

I have fun mods for you when you're done with vanilla

twin bear
#

alrdy been eyeing modding forums

#

might try modding one day

neon bramble
#

my favorite one overhauls the officers and skills

twin bear
#

like making mods ofc

neon bramble
#

good stuff

twin bear
#

i saw some stuff about crash code drama and i was worried until i saw good cit code rule

neon bramble
#

plenty of resources in all of the starsector discords

twin bear
#

at most what id try to do

#

is change some profile options

#

maybe make ship vars u can fab

#

test my art skills and make come cov ships or unsc based ones

#

i lowkey cant find a halo mod

neon bramble

#

u making it hard

#

🥀

neon bramble
twin bear
#

oh i saw that

#

insane

neon bramble
#

it's uh

twin bear
#

one thing i always forget

neon bramble
#

very ideal for my playstyle

twin bear
#

is the ships scales are massive

neon bramble
#

hit incredibly hard ASAP and do not relent

twin bear
#

all of therm look fast

#

spear like

neon bramble
#

their guns hit hard and flux hard but can get their shit pushed in easily

#

lesser pilots struggle with diable's lineup

#

also their mech doctrine is cool

#

fewer but generally elite fighters supported by strong battlecarriers and micromissile saturation to overwhelm point defense

twin bear
#

how do i check doc again

#

in f2 right

neon bramble
#

codex?

#

menu as well

neon bramble
twin bear
#

im enjoying vanilla

#

i love bannerlords but in space and fun longterm

neon bramble
#

and some mods add boss factions so uh

#

yeah I hope you can fight good

#

its also very easy to use mods as a crutch, harming you in a sense that you wont understand why you're doing badly at certain points of the game

twin bear
#

can i like

#

remove them if i use them in ships

neon bramble
#

yes but you can pay a story point to lock it in that ship

twin bear
#

will it go rogue like the domain era ai lore stuff

#

and attack in combat randomly

twin bear
#

like smods?

neon bramble
#

more skills

#

locked in alpha core is a reckless+ officer w/ all elite combat skills

#

normal human officers are like 5 skills w/ 1 or 2 elite skills

#

downside is there are few sources of more automated ship points so best be discerning in where you install your cores

#

so permanently putting it in a fast and dangerous ship like a fury is pretty much an atrocity upon your enemies

#

which is fine because they deserve it anyway

twin bear
#

beside rep

neon bramble
#

money!

#

some factions offer different pay rates

cinder wolf
#

Hmm i wondet where the baby could be...

#

I wonder to whom it belongs to...

quasi slate
#

@toxic hawk Renewa is around 1.28 in height

toxic hawk
#

can sit on my shoulders

quasi slate
#

There is a story in the game where you ask her to give her phone and she hands it over with a blush instead of asking why first

#

the only trickcal character who has a love interest in master

#

but R41 Renewa is the polar opposite

#

killed so many in a world where nothing can die

#

Xion was mvp in recent story saving everyone from an anti matter blast

#

trickcal characters are also extremely sensitive to blood because its not the norm there because death isnt really a thing so injuries where someone can bleed NEVER happen to them a simple nose bleed means extreme emergency and they all freak out

#

besides yggdrasil you can also later grant them power but apostles that have received your power can actually bypass the no death rule and kill

#

R41 felt hurt from every blow she received from Ner because she has master's power

whole bane
#

I just realised 2 things in Skyrim.

#

Both about Companions

twin bear
#

fuuuuck

whole bane
#

First, that you can pickpoket Aela, she have a key for Whiterun gates, and second is Companions beef with silver hand, and them coming to Jorrvaskr happened because Skjor decided to go on a rampage in werewolf form with Aela.

twin bear
#

only thing id prolly use is the enforcer

whole bane
#

He got captured and killed because of that, as well as silver hand become aware.

twin bear
#

and i prolly wont even need it if i can get cruisers

#

plus the mil selection

#

is so ass

#

the economy is bad here tho tbf

#

they desperately need marines and heavy arms

#

gonna go buy some and come back to bolster them a bit

neon bramble
#

market ship quality is based on having a nanoforge in the orbital works

dude is gonna have a job and work a 0-5 by that time

neon bramble
#

does this look correct to you

twin bear
#

for what i need it for yes

#

weirdly

#

it only needs to attack once or twice since i also

neon bramble
#

it's going to suffer the moment a bigger ship looks at it funny

twin bear
#

got some newe wolf class frigates

#

ppl keep selling me rly cheap new ships

#

so i take em for temp numbers so i can do bounties

neon bramble

dogshit shield efficiency + overwhelming it's own dissapation four times over does not bode well for the ship

twin bear

not all of them are dogshit

neon bramble

guh

#

that hurts to look at

twin bear
#

im not a 3k hour pro either

#

this is smth i have to do

candid patio
neon bramble
#

yeah I'm saying back to the drawing board lmao

twin bear
#

besides how do i even know what to put on them

neon bramble
#

I can see what you're doing but the math is not mathing

#

well, I am giving feedback am I not?

twin bear
#

tracking like

#

30+ systems i have to constantly be awre of

neon bramble
#

ok so the general principles of using a hull

twin bear
#

is alot for just one ship

neon bramble
#

is you want to make use of the mounts it provides

twin bear
#

i want those destoryers to support my assault force

neon bramble
#

and it should actually be able to survive in combat against a bigger opponent long enough to disengage

#

shield efficiency is how incoming damage is translated into hard flux

#

1x shield eff = 1:1

#

0.5 shield eff can in turn be interpreted as a 50% shield damage reduction

twin bear
#

is this a beam spam

#

i cannot find the beams i want

#

i do have heavy blasters but

#

they eat my flux diss rate

neon bramble
#

IR autolances are not ideal on their own

#

they're a support weapon

twin bear
#

yeah its supported by my wolf classes

#

theyre rly all supports for my upcoming cruiser

#

when i get one

neon bramble
#

well, you have an idea you're building around

#

and you can recognize you'r being held back by your supply of weapons

twin bear
#

this is the first assault force, then ill have a main and secondary for backup on reserve

neon bramble
#

that's a good start

twin bear
#

i dont know where to look and the wiki seems to tell me but i still cant get ahold of thenm

#

must not be in stock when im there

#

rng kicking my ass rn

neon bramble
#

yeah unfortunately that's an early game struggle

#

I'm assuming you're already hitting all markets and bars

twin bear
#

i have a few heavy mount weapons

neon bramble
#

if you want high end weapons, particularly energy ones

twin bear
#

even enemy ones if i can

#

i didnt know i could

#

which is cool

neon bramble
#

I recommend exploring black holes / nebulae and praying for research stations

neon bramble
#

I assume you already hit their markets

twin bear
#

i bought my first wolf thats fast as fuck from them

#

yeah

#

only a few d modded ships at most value wise for a fleet

neon bramble
#

your other bet is the arms dealer bar event

twin bear
#

some decent weapons but they LOVE pd lasers

#

for some reason

neon bramble
#

you're already talking to everyone in bars yeah?

twin bear
#

huge sad

neon bramble
#

unfortunate

twin bear
#

im spamming bars every chance

#

even when i come back from a few lightyears

neon bramble
#

gimme a sec to pull up a mod that can help

I remember a mod that increases shop stock

twin bear
#

i am weary of doing the pilgrim thing now

#

genociding one of their colonies the first chance i get for the credits they took from me when i started out

9 thousand credits will spell the doom for hundreds of thousands of people

i did kind of

yeah that will do that to you

i didnt think itd get that bad

#

my thoughts about this assignment

neon bramble
#

the consequence of his actions

twin bear
#

i did lowkey

#

plan on it

#

just later on

#

lmao

neon bramble
#

I'm assuming a lot of markets just

#

super duper hate you

#

and its hard to buy stuff from them

twin bear
#

50/50 im on good terms with everyone but space terrorists and ludd along with some minor attacks on some stations to desat their power (pear)

#

i kept regaining the rep id lose if smth happened

#

or i try at least

#

sometimes it just dips too low

neon bramble
#

just saying, actually doing the PL crisis and giving them the middle finger yourself is way more satisfying than

#

satbombing the shit out of them now

twin bear
#

it says i could most likely take over a station in thule

#

but

#

nah

#

fuck that

#

id become a target so fast

#

we barely have territory we hold well near there

#

support is lacking

neon bramble
#

ya need to open some caches

twin bear
#

the supply lines are filled with huge bandit fleets

twin bear
#

from academy

neon bramble
#

go explore the black holes and nebulae

#

those have a good chance of having research stations

twin bear
#

where do they happen to be at

neon bramble
#

look at your map

twin bear
#

oh itll say?

also make sure to fiddle with the filters in your map settings

ohhhh

nebula

#

i see it

neon bramble
#

ye

twin bear
#

it was off for some reason

neon bramble
#

research stations are usually orbiting around the black hole itself or around a gas giant

#

sometimes you'll be unlucky and get jack shit

#

other times jackpot

#

so get lots of fuel

#

you can find research station elsewhere but that's a lot of stars to sift through on a budget

#

that makes me think imma have a starfox ahh boss battle one day

#

also i took ur advice how is this

#

i want to use the vulks but i do alrdy have a hull breaker

neon bramble
#

no reason not to fill out the missile slots

#

those dont take flux and reasonably cheap

hazy monolith
#

nerds

twin bear
#

alr sure, i have some locusts, smrs or wtv and a few other options

neon bramble
#

generally you want your flux p/s to be a bit over your diss

twin bear
#

how the atroposs torpedos

#

i have 2

neon bramble
#

sabots and reapers are great for allowing that to punch up

#

atropos are good too

#

4 hammers are cheap and reasonably effective

twin bear
#

ill try those in the sim rq with sabots

#

sabots seem to be rly good

#

but cheap lowkey

neon bramble
#

make sure to set up weapon groups

#

just hitting auto group is good enough usually

#

it does affet how the AI manages the weapons

twin bear
#

do i need too even if only the ai pilots it

#

ohhh

#

shitr

neon bramble
#

especially if only the AI pilots it

twin bear
#

maybe thats why

#

they are stupid

neon bramble
#

if the AI is stoobid it's usually your fault

#

bad build, poor weapon groups or the role you have for it is just flawed

#

but that's okay because it means it can be fixed

#

with a lil evaluation

neon bramble
quasi slate
#

Angry birds pfp spotted on google

neon bramble
#

though a mix of something like say, 2 sabot racks and 2 harpoon racks or 2 reaper racks is a reasonable idea

#

for that enforcer I'd consider a heavy mortar, two HACs and some torpedos

hazy monolith
neon bramble
#

two vulcan PDs on the other medium mounts

twin bear
hazy monolith
#

why is there a direct message conversation leaking into my #general_chat

twin bear
#

ofc this will work when i have the fleet size

neon bramble
#

mortar will add stress to the target

#

and lets it do some damage on it's own terms once the missiles are dry

#

also, cheap fluxwise

Hello Emmanuel

twin bear
#

theres so much to learn about proper ship building

neon bramble
#

ofc I dont have the game open and I'd advise you to use your own judgement

#

but these are just my ideas off the top of my head rn

hazy monolith
neon bramble
#

and if you dont have what the fuck I'm talking about then you simply do what you must lmao

hazy monolith
twin bear
#

i replace the auto

#

with two mortor

#

on both sides

#

wait nvm

hazy monolith
twin bear
#

i might

neon bramble
#

if you believe that has enough shieldbreaking power for what you are facing

#

then sure that's perfectly valid

quasi slate

My art

hazy monolith
neon bramble
#

give it 4 sabot racks then yeah I'd think you're cooking

hazy monolith
twin bear
#

honestly yeah this might be decent

neon bramble
#

oh

#

no

hazy monolith
neon bramble
#

that's not enough

#

I thought you meant 1 HAC and two heavy mortars

#

too many downsized slots for a destroyer

hazy monolith
neon bramble
#

too many hullmods

quasi slate
#

People that mix apricots into bread deserve death

twin bear

hazy monolith

#

shit

quasi slate
neon bramble
#

it's okay to go over your diss

#

just not

#

1200:300 lmao

neon bramble
#

on an enforcer I'd consider 600:350 ish flux per / diss to be decent

neon bramble
#

put one of each in at least

twin bear
#

i only have one hac

neon bramble
#

yeah

#

just heavy mortar is garbage

#

one HAC and heavy mortar is at least something

twin bear
#

at least they got chips

#

yummy

glass wigeon
neon bramble
#

I see guns you want already

#

or are you bottlenecked by storage

#

the needlers are hard to cram in your enforcers though

#

heavy machinegun is actually an idea

twin bear
#

i have storage i just figured my other torps would work

neon bramble
#

I think you should have a pile of reapers and sabots

twin bear
#

im finna get caught right here

#

but then again

#

sp my wy out of it

#

lol

#

i be saving sp for shit like that

neon bramble
#

you can use SP to boost the + storage mods for your logi

twin bear
#

i havent thought of using sp on my small tanker

neon bramble
#

nah

#

not that

twin bear
#

gonna replace it with the large one

neon bramble
#

phaeton is worth using SP on

#

colossi once you pick one or two up

#

think two smodded colossi and phaetons each will take you through abyss expeditions

#

and general fringe sector nonsense

twin bear
#

i did buy the other hullmod chips

#

so i have those now

viral echo
#

what game is that?

vital marten
#

star sector

#

you can play free if seth's code still works

viral echo
#

neon bramble
twin bear
neon bramble
twin bear

vital marten
neon bramble
twin bear
#

Kommy you're not pikachu

twin bear
#

viral echo
#

I never did make any mods for X4 though, they fixed most of the things that was wrong with the previous games, sad.

twin bear
#

for better targeting

neon bramble
#

yeah

#

the brain is braining

#

you'll get faster at this

#

thats why you start with destoryers

twin bear
#

honestly tho it might just be the thing i spam wqhile i fuck up ludd

#

their units dont seem to be crazy

#

glad im not fucking with the corp or heg

#

beams kill my ass so fast

neon bramble
#

luddic ships are typically outdated and using the lower end lowtech weapons

twin bear
#

#

comms sniffa time

twin bear
#

comms is so good

#

fr

#

ive sniffed like

#

20 relays

#

i think

#

so far

neon bramble
#

you can only have a limited amount iirc

#

or it reduces in effectiveness the more you have

viral echo
#

is Star Sector mainly about trading and not getting your shit handed to you by pirates?

twin bear
#

i also just break relays too just to spite ludd

#

then they try to chase me down

#
