General Discussion / Tugs are the best!

« on: September 15, 2019, 07:22:38 AM »

Yes, they're inefficient (even with efficiency optimisation oh. My. God.), yes they're high maintenance, but daaaymn.
I modded my game to allow fleets of up to 50, which is probably why I'm able to love them so much, but nothing beats going silent at burn level 19 with only a 800 sensor profile. (Yes, a full 30 of my 50 fleet are tugs XD )

It should also be possible under the 30 cap with Militarised Systems on the tugs, and 27 tugs, provided that none of your other ships have a speed lower than 9, so... a very fast sneaky cargo fleet?

Set up com-sniffers in Com-Satellites of the star systems with Kaptyern Starworks and Qaras, and you'll be forwarded any pirate missions. Other systems have too many other factions and you'll be forwarded mixed missions.

Proximity. You will see far more pirate mission in systems with with bases and/or near other systems.

My thanks to both of you!

I just ignore it entirely.
I'm a fleet commander and the founder of an empire dammit, not some lowly pilot.

General Discussion / Re: 0.9.1a interesting seeds

« on: September 14, 2019, 07:48:58 PM »

Version: 0.9.1a-RC8
Mods: N/A (Pure Vanilla)
Seed: AN-6168866987343334196
Notes: Duzahk has a gas giant with subordinates sufficient to found a small empire. Enjoy

Just tested, this one also works with Nex (provided you haven't randomised the core). Not sure if there's even a possibility it wouldn't of, but I had spare time.

Another fun fact is that Dev mode changes the generation.
MN-0 pure vanilla has two gas giants.
MN-0 in dev mode has one.

A thread I made not too long ago. Even in vanilla they are a charming/dynamic faction. I really should look into the mod you are and try going harder into Piracy.

Do you perhaps feel like following it up with an "Easy(est) way to get Pirate missions" pretty please?

General Discussion / Your First Inspection

« on: September 14, 2019, 03:59:02 PM »

So had my first AI inspection and completely missed it (was searching how to get XIV blueprints).
I got a massively lucky break though, in that I had two pirate fleets and an expedition from an opposing faction in-system at the time, and apparently one of them killed it. So yay, not even a rep drop!

The heart attack when I glanced back and saw "Hegemony AI Inspection - Failed" though...

So what was your fist inspection like?
