Title: Things you didn't expect from starsector
Post by: ArkAngel on November 25, 2012, 04:15:37 PM
Thought I would start this because its mostly funny.

I didn't expect to be able to kill an onslaught with an omen and take no hull damage.

I didn't expect to like the Afflictor, but I've actually discovered its usefulness now. It's nice if you want a high-tech ship, but can't afford the more expensive frigates or Medusa. It only really shines when you pilot it yourself, but that's fine. I still prefer the Tempest because it's fast and hella durable (and I love that Terminator drone), but the Afflictor is much more affordable and is easily a step up from anything but a Wolf.

Btw, the Paragon with +50% OP is ridiculously good. Pretty much everything is, actually. Tech is definitely the way to go.

I run very small fleets, so I'm enjoying zipping around in a 390+ OP Conquest with some pretty crazy speed and combat benefits. The faster projectiles skill thingy makes Large ballistic weapons extra nasty.

and one last one i never expected the AI to be so smart and such a damned hero.
Spoiler
my first game in .54 i finally got ahold of a condor for my ever growing fleet of talons when we got ambushed by a pirate carrier group sporting 2 broadsword wings a talon wing a bomber wing and a few other things realizing we couldn't possibly win the  fight i ordered a full retreat the majority of the fleet ran toward the bottom where we had come in. but the enemy fleet was on our tail i turned my lasher around to make sure the condor made it out and as i rode behind it a single talon wing sporting only 1 fighter flew past me drawing fire from every damn enemy ship and flew towards the top drawing everything but one of the broadswords to follow it. that talon let us all get out of there scott free. and he made it out too barely i made sure that man got a steak dinner at the captains table and a promotion.

I didn't expect the Paragon to be quite so beastly at lv.45 with all the right Tech and Combat skills. When I was done getting all the nice skills (dps increasing, OP increasing, flux venting) and finished fitting it, I had a moment where I was just 'Oh my god, what have I just created...' That thing was amazing enough already, but now that thing is indestructible even with full damage turned on (but my second-in-command somehow manages to lose it occasionally =/).

Reports of Paragons soloing the HSDF are not exaggerated. Nothing can even crack the shields, let alone scratch the hull. Anything that gets even remotely close to it simply dies. When I fight an Onslaught in the simulator, I only get up to about half flux before it dies, and most of that is soft flux. It's shear insanity.

(Also, the game is made in Java, not flash)

not to mention because their so cheap and disposable you can mount just about anything you want to em and cheaply add more firepower to an escort. i have one decked for point defense hovering around my destroyer all the time! its awesome i rarely have to bother with incoming missiles which is nice because i put weapons into every single slot on my hammer head with no PD :P

Buy burst PD. Since it aims and fires almost instantly, it makes phase ships (like the Tempest's drone) into non-threats since they can't avoid the damage, and they will phase back out when fired upon. Neutralizing the drone takes out much of the pain of fighting Tempests.

Tempests are very evil things. In the Hands of AI they are High Tier since they have such excellent maneuverability along with a max speed of 175 with shields. They can keep their distance due to their grav beams and pulse laser which means that they can harass you with extended range. Tempests also have a huge capacity for flux which means that its very difficult to overload them since they vent so much and so quickly. They now have a pet that can destroy incoming missiles. All and All just spiteful little things that just smack around everything (given enough time) but capital ships. Also its no fun when you have 3 destroyers and 1 Cruiser chasing down a lone tempest. Its like watching an episode of Benny hill.

I should look into that since they do a lot of damage together i just need to get more setup for them. This is their loadouts;

2x Heavy Machine Gun
2x Harpoon MRM
4x PD Laser

I also call them both Gemini because it was rather fitting

Post by: Thaago on December 01, 2012, 11:40:38 AM
The long range kinetics (Heavy Mauler, HVD, and Heavy Needler) are much better at hunting small ships than the heavy machine guns are... Tempests get a lot less threatening when they fall into a crossfire of long ranged death - the narrow shield can be their downfall. Not that they aren't evil little things...

I didn't expect to be able to stack both unstable injector and augmented engines on a tempest and get it up to 255 speed (before bonuses). They drift 2/3 of the way across the map whenever they get hit with a Salamander, but they are craaaazy fast.

The Hegemony System Defense Fleet is a real source of unexpected things.
Spoiler
First Heg Onslaught jumped in, I maneuvered my Odyssey to snipe it with Tachyon Lances from the flank while my own Onslaught and escorts pinned it from the front.
I did not expect the other two Onslaughts to Burn Drive in on my flank while I was doing this.
(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y195/KingRaptor/Meme/itsatrap.gif)

I also did not expect the first Onslaught to kill my Odyssey just before it died (I ran in its direction because I figured it was too damaged to be a threat) :-X

Nor did I expect to fail my 50% post-battle ship repair roll. Wasn't all bad though, I didn't expect one of the enemy Onslaughts to be boardable at the end (later traded it in for a Conquest) either.

In a later battle against the SDF, my AI-controlled Onslaught unexpectedly (and inexplicably) decided to go "RAMMING SPEED!" and Burn Drive right into the enemy's 5% hull Onnie. The resulting explosion took off 50% of the rammer's hull. Even more unexpectedly, said rammer (which I regrettably did not rename to the ISS Banzai) survived the battle.

I didn't expect to fly around and take over the system with a fleet of as many capital ships as you can get.
Spoiler
I can't. I'm too poor from trying to improve my ships to buy better ones...  :'(

EDIT: I never expected doing donuts around an Onslaught that I just destroyed with the Buffalo I'd been piloting the whole battle. :D

better leave it as it is, it was the worst weapon in the game before the buff, now its actually worth using over a plasma cannon or auto pulse.

I didn't expect to find a serious lack of Andromeda references. The background story and lore for Starsector sounds so similar to that of Andromeda that I'm in shock there aren't at least 100 'Maru sprites on the forums. The same goes for Firefly content, aside from Erick's mod.

Spoiler
I am honestly being kept up at night because I'm waiting for Cargo run mechanics. Come on Alex, next update? Please?

I expect multiple systems before that :)
  • Added to SectorAPI:
    • List<StarSystemAPI> getStarSystems() // returns just the one atm

Wow! I didn't expect to enjoy mods (except jp). Ever really. They've come a long way.

I didn't expect to be able to kit a Doom cruiser into a torpedo-spewing anti-cap space submarine of, well, DOOM.

Go ahead and use that burn drive, it just lets me get around your shields faster. ;D

I didn't expect Mount and Blade.. in space!

I didn't realize that's pretty much all I ever wanted in a video game.

I didn't expect to get sudden urges to write fanfiction for starsector. ;)
