I try to keep volatiles on hand for those edge cases where it comes in useful but then I find a bunch in a ruin, forget to keep some, and sell the whole lot. I do the same with metals and transplutonics and then can't chuck down nav buoys and sensor boosters in remnant systems when i want them

While I'm usually disciplined about that stuff, I'd definitely appreciate being able to mark an inventory slot for "20 transplutonics" or "100 supplies". All it'd need to do is to first fill it or empty it to said number if you're doing ctrl+click trading. Would just need a second click if you want to sell it all regardless or buy to capacity.

I'd actually love a feature for your colonies where you have supply fleets track you down and deliver things you order so you could just stay exploring the entire time. Just had a moment where all my space battleships formed a battle line accidentally because they all have the same range weapons and unloaded a broad side. It was tim and eric air kisses. Beware the LRM's from S&W haha those things loving arrive right as my fighters and blow them all up, thankfully i've swapped to all unmanned fighters so it's not a big deal but still it'll destroy an entire wave in 1 missile. I gotta say i'm using a musashi BC and so far it's not OP and all of the ships and weapons are on par with my vanilla apogee builds. The weapons can be loving terrifying when on spinal mounts but the refire delay balances them really well so far--1 hit will make you flinch and build up that flux but it takes awhile for another hit. Industrial evolution is pretty nice so far, those buildings that basically just counter a hazard type is really nice. I'm still confused as to why the loving pathers hate orbital mirrors, they're not that advanced for a space faring society haha. It's gonna be nice just filling the loving sector with food though, already got 3 amazing food and organic planets and they can all take soil nanites and orbital mirrors.

As a note, an Expanse mod can't work, just like a video game of it can't work like it does in the books or the show. Nothing in the entire universe has armor that can stop a railgun or a missile hit. There is essentially no meaningful armor in that universe. PDC's shoot down missiles, but at a certain distance whoever has the fastest and most accurate railguns wins. Even Point Defense Cannons straight penetrate other ships. Space combat is brutal as gently caress in that universe.

It's very strong on low tech ships that get into somethings face, use shields to selectively shield against reapers or huge HE hits and then when you and the target are near max flux you just drop shields entirely and bully them to destruction. You'll tank so much extra damage from bieng basically at the flux cap that even torpedoes don't scare you that much if it means killing of something critical to the enemy line.

Did some redacted hunting and besides the AI having a hard time dealing with extreme range fighting the musashi ships did really well. It's funny that the S&W ships are being more OP than them haha though the musashi ships are all really low on the DP cost but honestly they're not over performing for that cost. The radiant has a really hard time dealing with getting hit constantly by the railguns so it tends to be extra cautious even though it could technically rush in and grab a kill. So far i'm still just using a cruiser fleet with 1 BC so we're doing better than my 3 legion fleet but honestly i think that's just because vanilla has a terrible carrier selection. The dedicated musashi carriers are loving amazing, 4 wings with a decent PD layout but they also double as freighters with a really good fuel/cargo capacity for their size. They're under priced DP wise atm at 15 but if he changes them to 20-22 they'd fit right in with vanilla. Once i get some of the bigger capitals i'll be able to see how balanced they are but i'm guessing the biggest one is supposed to be a super ship.

Question: does salvaging enhancement % stack linearly? Is there any hard/soft cap to it? Wondering if the fleet "Paragon and 29 salvage rigs" can kill a kite and pull 500 supplies out of the wreck.

I believe the tooltip is explicit that no, it does not, you get diminishing returns for each salvage gantry equipped vessel of the same hull size you bring, it gives you a readout of your current general salvage bonus.

I would really, really like the ability to tooltip over built-in hullmods and the like when inspecting a ship in the store. It's all very well knowing that the ship you're planning on purchasing has some unique hullmod but it doesn't help my purchasing decisions much when I don't know what it actually DOES. Or for that matter looking over ships with d-mods and trying to work out if it's worth buying anyways. I mean, yeah, you play long enough you'll remember it all eventually but I could use reminders now and then, and for things like salvage efficiency it'd be nice to get a confirmation of just how much you're getting in diminishing returns.

Azuth0667 posted:I decided to investigate the things protecting a coronal hypershunt and Nothing is really strong against SUPER REDACTED. The best way I found to deal with them is non-stop missile pressure to force them to keep their shields up and hitting them with the strongest EMP/HE weapons once they're near flux. If you can't constantly pressure them, they can easily disengage and managed their flux levels since their dissipation is so high. Once they separate into smaller ships, missiles especially Locusts become even more effective since they have lower flux stats and you can clean them up more easily. The Harbinger special system works against them too if you can line up big hits with it.

Azuth0667 posted:I decided to investigate the things protecting a coronal hypershunt and Haha my answer was to load up with a ton of extra crew, tossed all my marines on a safe station and brought 30 combat ships. I lost all but 1 legion and my cruiser/frigate dregs took a beating but funny enough my cruiser carriers fared really well. All tech types will work against the horrors in space but generally the high tech ones will give things up for speed and flux but the problem is redacted ships will do it better than them so beware bringing auroras who's only thing is their speed and good flux management. You generally want a really strong kinetic load out for pounding shields and keeping flux up while things like bombers or a few dedicated ships exploit the high flux. I thought i had all the musashi ships but a few super ones, NOPE! There's 3 huge battleships, one has 5 loving carrier decks and the modular carriers large variant has 6 loving flight decks haha. Gonna keep 1 ebisu M as a backup carrier with it's 4 decks then try to rock 2 of those battle carriers for loving 14 wings on the field not counting the few wings that other ships bring in. I love how all the modded ships already come with built in mods that just make sense, of course you're going to want to stick range mods on your artillery ship. It's funny how ECM kinda bites you in the rear end when you have a higher range than vanilla haha, i'm sticking ECCM/ECM on a ton of my ships as built in S mods because i'm seeing as much as 20% ECM against redacted.

It's a critical relation to maintain for Breaker/Pather/Pirate/really bad random relation starts, because it makes the fringes safer and also it won't ever piss anybody off to make the Remnants like you. Plus when the contact offers to sell you an order of items you can get really good poo poo out of it, especially if you have one of the mods that adds better remnant versions of weapons.
