It is simply too crippling. The Lion's Guard is a joke and in-universe a few crushing defeats would make even the most dogmatic of factions to revise their doctrine.

>Do you stall the fuckers with fighters/monitors?
no, I crawled towards them with 7 eradicators (didn't have DP for more) all with pretty much the same loadout aside from whatever missiles and PD I could find (yes, I realize now that was dumb; I am still learning this game and what ships can/can't do). I feel like I could maybe make some compromises like putting a fighter bay in some of them or seeing if I respec a few of them around the unstable injector, but I just don't think the fleet comp is going to work against larger fleets if I can only field 7 of them (and I assume one more if I capture some of the in-battle objectives). I will try them a bit more to see what I can do, but I feel like I have a better idea as to what the eradicators can and can't do on their own.

It's awful. Apparently "exposed conduits running along the passageways" are standard in Starsector ships, and these conduits dissipate flux directly into the passageways. We don't know what specifically flux is or what these conduits do, but these conduits must indeed be very hot to radiate enough heat to noticeably affect flux dissipation, and overheat just because of some paneling. Oh, and crew casualties are randomly increased by 10% somehow, presumably because "passages are a bit narrower".
It's a clumsy and unsubtle piece of nonsense.

Bruh. >>2298093 are old carousel builds before alex took HEF from eagle(lg). The main battery is optimized around firing one just as the last finishes and you have something in the sleeve to either burst him down or to apply pressure. The neat part is both adaptable to SO or longer range builds and it's AI friendly if you setup the behaviour and weapon groups correctly. You can also get aurora firepower on a less suicidal and cheaper eagle.

Are DEM missiles underrated? They seem quite versatile with good damage per nr of charges/DPS and can target small and large targets alike.

I'm asking again since last time I got no serious response. Is there any good reason to update? Or is this still the latest version?

>>2300310
>Does Armored weapon mounts mod actually protect weapons against EMP
Yes. Armored weapon mounts increases the weapons health which means it will require more damage from any source before being disabled.

EMP damage is functionally the same as regular damage when applied against weapons/engines but they can have separate modifiers attached. for example, Distributed Fire Control reduces both weapons and emp damage. The EMP stacks on top of the weapons damage reduction, meaning it gives -75% EMP weapons but only gives -50% EMP for engines.

Is it viable to starve the Threat? I've only managed to beat them with decapitation strikes, but destroying the swarms on their way back to the fabricators means they'd eventually run out of fuel. Does anyone do that?

How does the new colony management work? it looks like scattered colonies are viable now than focusing every colony be in the same star system.

As high command aren't capable of destroying raiders

>>2301655

>>2301691
How?

Also when will the ability to conquer colonies without mods be added?

>>2301749
The point of building every colony in single star system was your patrols taking out faction raids, but with the new colony threat meter, faction raids cannot be destroyed by your patrols anymore

>>2301655
it works in theory, but it's tuned to make it unviable

>>2301691
yes, there's little reason to bunch up your colonies now. all threats will focus on your biggest colony.

you could settle gigaindustry and military lava ball in the same system, i suppose

>>2301694
true, but the CR of Fabricators is capped at 70% and similarly the number of Fragments also has a cap. So destroying a large number of ships fast will result in some CR and Fragment loss that won't be recovered.
This helps 'starving' thread fleets, but...

>>2301655
the amount of PD you need to effectively starve threat by destroying fragment swarms is too ludicrous.
The only feasible way is to combine overcapping with outlasting the Fabricators relatively low 70% max CR. You will get malfunctioning Fabricators in particularly long engagements like third strikes with support fleets this way, but honestly, it's not worth it.

Decapitation strikes really do work best.

>>2301797
Yeah, it usually doesn't help the big faction raids, that's what befriending the pirates is for.
But it does help with the small hostile fleets disrupting shipments and tanking stability.

>>2301655
The first time I fought the threat I had a really slow fight that lasted ~10-15 minutes because I basically only had a single command type capital that the threat were too afraid to approach but also didn't have the speed to catch them or burst to kill them. Wouldn't say it's ideal, but it is possible to outlast the threat.

Everyone grey is indie but it's possible for them to be working as mercs for TT or hoist the black flag if you're in deep space and they decide wrecking your fleet will be easy money compared to scavenging

>>2302990
The Persean League is a bunch of independant polities all banded together under a nato accord in the name of self-defence. It's planets are held by varying border-world barons, self-declared regencies, and adminstrators of penal-colonies that dabble in hand-holding. They have a very strict, "fuck with one fuck with all" policy that also extends to "if we can fuck you and take your shit we'll do it".

The independants, similar to the persean league, are a bunch of independant worlds but their group policy is much more peaceful in that they're space switzerland. Choosing a stance of non-aggresion and abstaining from all conflicts in the sector, they're not an offical faction but they do benefit from sharing information with each other.

'Independent' is just a vague term for Spacers who are unaffiliated to any of the main factions in the Sector.

For them, the Relationship metric works more like the reputation that the Player among the unaffiliated planets, traders, mercenaries, miners and scavengers who are not flying with the colors of a faction.
None of them owe any allegiance to each other, but how you treat one of them affects how you're perceived by all of them. If the player is constantly raiding merchant convoys, people are gonna end up seeing the player as no differnt from any of the pirates of the Sector, while if the player earns a positive reputations trading with them then people are gonna see hims as trustworthy.

If i play a run where I avoid High tech ships, what are the Low tech and/or Midline strategies to counter or at least not get buttraped by hightech threats?

>>2303273
2/3 Kinetic, 1/3 explosive/frag for the win with a few finisher missiles if available (hammers/reapers/breach). I think the biggest problem comes from EMP and the 2 hullmods that protect against it are not enough on its own so you might just distract them with frigs and fighters.

>>2303280
I've never used the EMP defense hullmods, didn't seem like they were worth the OP. My thinking problem is finding an alternate to Omens to use as a PD screen. Are monitors adequate for that or should I just spam Centurions stuffed with all the PD. Also extra crew for all the fighter losses.

>>2303289
Bro, Monitor is basically a frigate-sized Paragon minus the weapons.
Its more than adequate for tanking damage lol.
But their PD screen leaves much to be desired with having only 2 flak cannons.

monitor is virtually cheating, no fun in it

>>2303299
I'm talking about point defense escorts, I know a monitor built right is unkillable, but I'm worried about killing missiles and fighters in a frigate DP. An enforcer is too slow to be a good escort and the Manticore's Canister flak is not worth the twice the DP of a frigate and not too good flux stats.

because they have the arguably most dangerous beam weapon in the game stacked multiple times and at a 2000 range and only ever open their 360° shields to fire.

they are, in fact, good design, because without them EMP resistant low tech fleets would utterly and completely dominate shroud fights.
these fuckers in particular though get hard countered by good shields on a ship that can fire back at them while taking the beam.

You sound like a cuck. On the one hand you complain because lowtech would otherwise counter dwellers and on the other you're praising hightech for doing so.

I'd actually be perfectly happy with lowtech countering the dwellers (and high tech countering threat) but people like you ruin it with your hightech=besttech mentality.

H-how is this faction allowed a continued existence?

>arguably most dangerous beam weapon in the game stacked multiple times
It's not a mining laser.

Is the one yellow skill the only way to get rid of d-mods in vanilla?

>>2304204
Just click the "restore" button my friend

>>2304207
Oh yeah I guess I should say its the bottom of the refit screen

AIEEE now I look like a dumbass

>>2304214
Well if you never clicked it before just calling it restore doesn't elaborate on what it does.

>>2304207
nta but I have caught myself, as a gajillionaire making 3m+ per month from colonies, finding a ship I want with some dmods on it and thinking damn I gotta drag this around for a while before it's back to peak strength that sucks.
the restore button just feels so shitty early game that you completely forget it exists.

>>2304222
The fact its down next to things like strip, weapon groups, and auto fit probably doesn't help

>>2304204
>get rid of d-mods in vanilla
...why

>>2304230
I don't like them

>>2304234

I just like my ships pristine, okay?

>>2304234
Damn right, pristine ships only

Wut? Trades bring 40k max, while good old smuggling get you your first million in first ten days of play.

>>2302594
Nah, dont give a shit about delays. Getting your colonies always raided is annoying.

I spread around and use nerexlin gift a planet to get some hegemony bois protecting the space with my designated raiding target.

>>2302593
I love totalenkrieg. Makes me feel I am not the only one bad

>>2304284
*laughs in 32 DP radiant and 22 DP onslaught*

>>2304302
Are they really effective in combat?

>>2304306
NTA but from what I understand its just OK if you raw dog it, but you autistically micromanage which dmods you have on your ship to only have ones that don't matter its pretty strong.

>>2304306
yes, dmods really aren't a big deal in the first place and derelict operations is hilariously overpowered

>>2304306
refer to >>2304322
but in short 2 ships with separate hp and flux pools operating at 80% and still with full weapon damage beats one ship with officer operating at 120%

>>2304291
Don't trading quests get better the more you do them?

>>2304348
i think it's just based on your current cargo capacity
