I have not found a single system that seems worth to colonise.
What kind of planets would be a minimum requirement for it to be profitable?

>>2366262
every planet can be profitable quite easily, all you need is the appropriate special items to make it productive

what is the quintessential "Timmy" ship?
i.e. something that is big, flashy, does a lot of damage
but is not meta, not used in speedruns or competitive tournaments

>>2366264
If you want to minmax:

>farming + LI + commerce
Rich or abundant farmland, no rare ore, no volatiles, not a water planet

>refining+fuel prod+commerce
No atmo

>high command
Hot or extreme heat

other slots are flex, can put mining wherever suits it best, but is best on uninhabitable planets, and orbital works should be built on an uninhabitable planet.

But like the other guy said, pretty much any planet can be profitable so there isn't much of a "minimum requirement," it's more about how fast it will grow and what the upper limit of your profitability will be.

You don't need a perfect system and you probably won't find one without mods or console cheats.

That one system right under the core worlds that is claimed by the church is often close to a perfect system. It's nothing too fancy but it usually has everything you need.
Gotta fight the church for it though.

>>2366297
>>>and you probably won't find one without mods or console cheats.
You have two systems that fit that bill guaranteed spawn every game you troglodyte. You do need to deal with one of them being "claimed" but hey, fun.

anime website faggot
many, many cycles ago, SomethingAwful forums was among the biggest internet forums in existence, it stood as a bastion of free speech and anything topic goes discussion boards.
Except for one thing: anime
they had a containment zone specifically for anime, a forum section with an ironic name where they redirected any anime content into, and then banned anyone who posted anime outside of it.
Even that was too much for their jannies, and eventually they banned even that containment forum due to how popular it became.
Thus came Christopher Poole, who then made a competing website, called 4chan.org, and welcomed all the people who got banned from SA for animeposting
and thus this website became what it is today
all thanks to anime and animeposters

so pay some respect, faggot

this shi kraked my egg ngl

who's steve kraked?

Haven't played the game in a while. What are the best mods to enhance small fleet gameplay?

I want to affect world by doing faction missions and make alliances all while running wolf-pack fleet of small-sized ships, performing cov. ops missions and executing targets.

Current list:
>Nexerelin
>Starship Legends
>Leading Pip
>Privateering - Commission Overhaul

>>2366322
So did brownies, raids, shootouts, political "movements" and psyops and all of those are either B& on sight or corralled off to their containment boards these days.

NTA but it's just much more aesthetic having several colonised worlds in a single system with hustle and bustle of mercantile and military traffic than several bumbfuck nowhere lonely planets in empty systems. Plus I prefer building tall over wide in grand strat too, I think wide is mad gay.

Except you're provided plenty of options in grand strat for building tall, wide is only the optimal PvP tranny play style in which you ignore most if not all province development mechanics that the game gives you to play with.

I feel like modding such core parts of a game is cheating

>>2366614
The cheating part comes from how batshit insane those modded skills are.

Speaking of cheating, I am not one to care too much about balance in a single-player sandbox but jesus christ, the colony content in AotD is peak retardation. I thought DIY Colonies was bad by trivialising it all by letting you turn any planet you want into a mild climate habitable terran world, but at least they didn't let you build gates in literally every system, boost your accessibility to 1000% and plop down buildings that shit out 1 million credits per month with no additional investment. What an absolute piece of shit of a mod.

I don't want a million different combat modifiers when the combat tree which is also the only thing you can spend your points on in sic is something that I avoid taking because it makes your ship too powerful. I like non-combat skills. it has a few of those but not nearly as many as vanilla.

>>2366268
>>refining+fuel prod+commerce
You might as well put mining on them since you can have 4 industries.
Basically if the planet has no atmosphere you go
>mining, refining, fuel, commerce
Can use catalytic core on refining and synchrotron on fuel.
If the planet has atmosphere but is not habitable you go
>mining, refining, heavy industry, commerce.
Can use mining bore on mining and nanoforge on heavy industry.

If the planet is habitable and has atmosphere, has poor farming and good minerals I think that'd be a fair place to put down
>mining, refining, high command, commerce
After all the benefit you get from the cryo engine is pretty minor since the fleets spawned by the high command are irrelevant. But you still need one high command to get marines produced in-faction.

But that's the thing. It's not a strong ship. It's pretty mid considering other ships you can get by the lategame. Plus most of the other ships from the mod are complete garbage, and the "story" is terrible.

>>2366264
To be honest I just colonise one of the three "free" systems in the core. I haven't done the math but accessibility seems to be a flat multiplier, which means that those 100% accessibility trash planets is better than that perfect world you found at the edge of the sector with 5% accessibility.

>>2366929
It's a pretty strong ship, it's just not delete everything instantly strong. It has absurd staying power and a high damage shield penetrating cannon so it's basically a fleet anchor. A fight can be decided based solely on whether or not the enemy is capable of pressuring the Sunrider enough to actually take it out before the cannon does its work.
The other ships are kinda eh though, yeah. Redheads nice if you get it early enough.

A lot of the enemies were uaf, including a rillaru that was a huge pain in the ass in the fight I tried with uaf weapons because I wasn't doing enough damage to ever get through the shield and armor before it pulled out of weapon range. But with the vanilla weapons it not only lost the flux war but also lost 80% of its hull during the first clash.
>>2367122
Besides the oldslut I only had 2 cruisers, 2 destroyers, and 3 frigates to my name. It's a really light early game fleet. It's a good thing it was on the way back because I'd have put the oldslut in storage as well if I had already been paid for it.

Nigger, please. Oldslut built right can deal with double ordos no sweat let alone some roadside trash.

The oldslut in this case was the exact same one you pick up except with a gamma core and a augmented drive field slapped on it to get it home easier. My solution to it being disgustingly outnumbered was putting another capital next to it, which worked perfectly once said capital had real weapons.

Honestly in shortage situations I feel like markets should lower or even eliminate tariffs. You want people to bring those supplies to your world asap after all.
Related idk what the fuck is going on with pirates but for the past cycle virtually every planet on the core worlds has -50% accessibility. It's insane. Chico has a demand for many differents goods. Sindria has a deficit of fuel since I stole their synchrotron. I stole Nachiketa's too so I think literally every Heg planet save for Nachiketa itself and Sphinx have a fuel deficit.
Chalcedon has a deficit of pretty much everything but that's normal.
Kanta's den has litearlly 0% accessibility lmao. The opportunity for arbitration is insane. They buy up organs for 665 credits each and sell drugs and luxury goods for pennies.

Despite the hyper-militaristic façade they present, the Diktat doesn't really have the numbers to permanently dislodge the ARC and pirates off Umbra without compromising in other fronts (chiefly deterrence against the Hegemony). Even discounting practical problems, satbombing is taboo outside of the sector's major conflicts. If they tried to do it in peacetime, they'd definitely lose the League's favour, and thus their greatest ally in their fight against the Hegemony.

I wouldn't say Terraforming Made Easy is bad, it's just rather simple/boring

there's TASC (also adds buildings that mitigate but not remove conditions alongside the ability to construct stations) and DIYPlanets (forces you to scavenge for rare colony items to use for terraforming), but if you don't give a shit about that then Terraforming Made Easy is the most straightforward one

that was ages ago I'm already an expert at this game now

>>2367516
Sure but when your first colony is something low hazard you can have postive monthly income and thus you can focus on surveying and trading looking for more specialized planets.
Meanwhile if you choose some high hazard planet you have to make sure you make money because your planet drains your account fast so you spend all the time making sure you have enough stuff to sell to not bankrupt yourself.
I always settle low hazard planet first and then look for high mineral/tore/artifact ones.

>>2367516
Just plop down a high tech star fortres and lure enemies into it.

>>2367516
The colony crises are a joke anyway. If you know what you're doing, the persean league one is the only one that poses a legitimate threat and even then you can just take your warfleet to kill logistics fleets in hyperspace. Hegemony, the only one that has a crisis that could fuck you up, only does it if you use AI cores for governors. The rest are nothingburgers

Threats unlikely since they can't access hyperspace but TT might pull some shit who knows they've been sending expiditions for a while and you were the only successful one, literal demons possibly it doesn't seem like there's any reason they aren't entering the sector but they don't seem to move much so ????.

I wish the game have a proper ending sequence.
Like coming back to the hyperspace of civilized core world from the abyss, you saw a beacon, then the jump points grew large, sucks everyone into the nearest stars, once in there the star is burning with strange color and strong corona. Ejected by sun and following the merchant fleets, who immediately turn away without landing because you now saw the same scene, Jangala is burning with a huge debris field. https://youtu.be/izQsgE0L450?si=HOBXun9gF0Qg9yks
Out of the debris, an remnant fleet emerges. The AI rambles about rule violation before fighting
so that the player can soak in the fullsized dead planet jpeg in the background during combat.
After the fight, salvage shows no survivor. The system is filled with dead planets, pouring in space trash and nebula, hints final moments. A signal revealed to be the previous merchant fleet had set up a comm relay on stable point. They told us only one system responded and need help. Another rem fight at the jump points, which gives a tug with pearl looking hull allows hyperspace travel again.
Hyperspace is eeriely empty with lots of sensor ghost, storm and jets. The jumpoint sink hole has shrink in size. Entering the target system warns a comm message about lies and conflicting info. Everyone is still dead, it is omega's lure. Omega slip through the gate, Going back to the previous system, the omega is fighting the merchant fleet right out the gate, which before your ship can reach the center of the battle field, torpedo hit the merchant vessels and turned it into half omega with painful radio chatter. Omega drops the weapon with thrilling descriptions about metal to trannymetal conversion and hints a parallel possibility of neuron-to-circuitry conversion.
The gate went dead again, but this time rusted red. Re-emerge into hyperspace, the star map changes again as the abyss is right outside the core worlds, as if they are drawn by the vacuum sucked out of hyperspace.

Do I bother wasting either a SP or the OP for heavy armor on an eradicator? I love them so much, but their shield is much to be desired, and shield shunting them is a trap. Or should I use hardened shields instead?

I just beat a 870.000 bounty for the Heggies last night with this vanilla fleet >>2368274
The guy had 1 onslaught, 3 legions, like 5 or 6 dominators and then some eagles, falcons and a bunch of enforcers and frigates.
Didn't lose a ship of course. Though my ship was put in a bit of a bad spot when we were pushing them upward and a new dominator XIVth spawned literally in front of me.
I also did another huge bounty against a mid line fleet a while ago. The smodded pegasus that guy had were very strong. Coolest part of the fight was when they spawned a conquest and one onslaught and me broke formation and moved forward to meet it. As soon as the conquest spawned the onslaught started blasting its shield, I flanked it and started damaging its hull. We couldn't finish it off since there were a bunch of eagles, gryphons and sunders coming down on us and we were pretty isolated so we had to retreat, but the conquest also retreated from battle pretty much as soon as it entered.

Pretty much for the first time ever I saw the tt interaction with the ziggy in my fleet. I normally place it in storage instantly but I didn't and just hailed it around. They provided me with a free odyssey and a cute girl to rape until she heart eyes. Made her the captain of the ziggy she wanted to much to reduce the cost of it. Any of these interactions worth keeping it around for? I did end up at war with them which was a slight pain.

So is UAF essentially the battleships = undertuned, carrier spam = OP faction? Assuming faction weapons/fighters only ofc.

>>2368561
UAF is the "trash" faction. Like I'd rather use a mod by Nia Tahl or Boggled or TheDragn at that point.

UAF is the anime girl faction you go there to rizz up some hot anime babes and then you have a harem of them and you can rape them too if you have the mod

SO Paragon fucking rocks I don't know why more people don't use it in their builds

>>2368568
probably because you can't put SO on paragons unless you use slop mods

In regards to UAF correct me where I'm wrong because I'm trying to understand it. Lore wise they're from an alternate universe where a TT fleet was isekei'd into their world because space-magic shenanigans, TT tried to kill them because evil-capitalist-handrubbing reasons, UAF gave chase because other reasons and now they're trying to get back home like Star Trek Voyager or Quantum Leap, and if certain other people get sat-bombed in the process that's an oopsie. Gameplay wise it's nuke missiles and nuke-shooting fighters likes it's the 1950's, and also anime dating sim with cake.

You're not thinking with enough (((parantheses))), anon.

I only use it in smaller fleets as an early anchor. Its slow and very hard to kill if you fit it with shield shunt, heavy armor and polarized armor officer. Two main guns (Mauler or HPV cannons) and some flak work okay. Then i go for four yellow torp launchers or two reapers and two anti engine launchers. Its hard to keep it alive in bigger fleets because once it is caught by a bigger ship it gets rekt.
