Ignoring that the opening poster spent half the post talking about himself, what does min-max even mean in starsector? Your character points can be used slightly more or less effectively possibly, but this is not character based RPG. It's a pretty freeform game. You have to set yourself artificial goals and even then there are artificial measurments. For instance if you have sufficient income you can sustain 30 Onslaughts flying around in a circle forever. There's nothing to minimise and maximise. That said 7 Capitals and several OX tugs (how many???) seem suboptimal to me, but then again what is optimisation? It's an artificial goal. Can the OP even fight the biggest bounties and the biggest expeditions without losing a ship? That too can also be an artificial goal too.
This is the only response I will make to posts like these. Few things:
- The reason I explain my background is exactly why you do not understand the point of my feedback. If you're not interested in mechanics and enjoy game as-is - why are you even responding? I feel like what you're doing is poor attempt at ad hominem, trying to imply I'm self-centered and therefore what I'm saying is not worth considering. Please don't do that.
- If you have nothing to say about things I'm mentioning, please refrain from responding at all. All you're doing is saying "your point is invalid because I think it is". Everything is artificial goal and nothing matters - how can I even argue against something like this? The answer is that no one can (nor should, and I won't), because your response contains no points, simply trying to tell me that my point of view is wrong "because of reasons".
- I'm here and I can read this... you don't have to call me "OP", I'm Perq, nice to meet you.
As I mentioned - unless you have something to say about actual points I've made, refrain from responding further, as I'm not interested in such borderline trash-talk.
