True, bugged on that one.
I just don't remember the name
A distinction between RTS on singular maps, and one where you move strategize on the overworld map then trigger tactical battle>>2053923
I suggest HILs on the large energy, 2 squalls and 5 HMGs with targeting core and built in armored mounts on the front. Squalls and HMGs will shred most shields, HILs and whatever lasers you put in the small energy slots will wreck anything that goes down. Plus, the HMGs help you safe while you shield flicker.>>2053996

I love this, anon, I bet it'd make for a really cool midgame flagship. I also like how it looks right now.>>2053549
>the game really is not difficult it is time consuming
Exactly. And Nex reduces the time investment to reach power spikes. The difference isn't just the existence of "more content," but the abundance of opportunities Nex gives you to scale much faster, with less friction or risk

>High level indie military market
which has an insanely high tariff on everything High level gear in vanilla is locked behind scavenging or rep, which nex allows you to completely circumvent. I don't even know how you can argue that prism is an easier source, especially when you're paying less for everything across the board which makes that tarrif for less penalizing
>tarrifs
The lowered tariffs in Nex flatten the credit curve very early on. More legal profit from regular trade routes > Fewer tradeoff decisions between legal and black market > less rep hits
> economic pressure significantly reduced since you dont need to risk standing

>im willing to bet that most people use neither of these

nex literally spawns a weak omega fleet for you to loot just from seeing a hypershunt. There is a contact who just sells you omega shit. nex makes it far easier to reach a point where you can reliably source them if you want to. even if you were right "most people dont use it", doesn't change the fact it makes it easier

In vanilla, you're limited by exploration RNG and dealing with waves of remnants to farm remnant ships. I don't even think there is an easy way to get omega weps besides fighting those ridiculous 1M credit bounties

>prisoners to easily farm rep
yes you do? even if they are more rare, _it's about access to an entire rep farming system that vanilla doesn’t even have_ combined with agents it allows for faster rep building across multiple factions without bounties or explorationI have never opened a file with code before today and i wanted to make a mod that makes crew consume food like supplies and now eldritch java script knowledge is forever seared into the inside of my skull, Ludd save my soul>>2054080

I really want to give it another playthrough, but vanilla is so boring, and the biggest mod for it "Fight For True Universe" is broken, so you can't even play the endgame without fatal crashes. Funny thing, SPAZ was the game that made me hunger for Starsector, since I wanted something bigger in scale, with more detail and ships and all that.>>2054457
I didn't even realise there were mods for the game. Did you ever give the sequel a try?Great, there was an infighting between Tri-Tachyon and Special Circumstance in Hybrasil>>2054480
>didn't even know there were mods
There's a few, but the one I used for a long time has a fatal bug in it that makes it impossible to play the endgame. I heard there were others, definitely worth looking if you don't mind shady russian forums.

>did you ever give the sequel a try
Yeah, it was disappointing.>>2054203
What was the one, thank you. Unfortunately it hasn't been updated since 0.96.nex is gay and retarded>>2054616
not a big fan of it either>>2054391
I don't like HILs but yeah, that's great.>>2054616
That's not very helpful to anyone considering whether to use it. Talk specifics.

I like being able to skip the story quest for gate travel, would've had to do it like a dozen times now otherwise. But I admit a lot of cool features I thought were Nex actually came from industrial Revolution.>>2054726
I like Next for the ability to start in different factions or even your own faction. I like the alternate start. I also like the player invasion mechanic. I hate everything else about it>>2054734
The only truly good part of nex is remnants and ordos doing shit but that unfortunately comes with randomized core and that's a dealbreaker. And often a gamebreaker if you want to unlock the story features.>>2053876
>Litany of Litany's Litany
I'm loving the Orion on the rear.
And don't forget to give it a Ground Support Package.>>2054773
Randomized core worlds are optional. Or do you mean the "remants doing shit" doesn't work if you use Nex without randomization?>>2054799
Last I checked you couldn't toggle derelict empire mode without randomized core. My bad if that has changed since.>>2054804
Still true probably. I didn't know what you meant by remnants doing shit. Last I played derelict empire in like 0.95 they didn't really do much, just an occasional remnant attack on a colony.>>2054807
They took over/deleted both your and npc colonies and launched raids that with days scaled up to include remnant ships. Reminded me of space rangers and dominators.>The Heg starts fielding Legion XIV when you repeatedly destroy their core world armada
