Tug - Ox
« on: May 09, 2023, 07:13:45 AM »
Hi all, I love the idea of this ship but it has always seemed to expensive to justify, has anyone found a combination of mods that makes the Ox a worthwhile addition to the fleet or is the general consensus for this ship the same as it was 4 years ago (just to expensive to justify the bonus)

I've yet to really find a use for them unless I want a particular capital and it's late game so I don't care about money or fuel anymore. If you want to make it more worthwhile, go to where you downloaded starsector, go to Starsectore/starsector-core/data/hulls and open the Ship_data csv. There you should be able to find the Ox, and lower its fuel consumption (though make a backup before you do, and be aware that when you update the game the change will be reverted).

It's 10 supply and 5 fuel. That's "too expensive to justify"?

Efficiency Overhaul now reduces supply/fuel use by 30% when S-modded.

I use them late when I have burn 7 ships in my fleet.  Endgame, I use four plus Navigation for the full burn 20.

In my current game, I am building them one per month at my colony (because quality is not high enough to guarantee a pristine hull) until I get four.  That said, there are burn bonuses after building up topography enough (which I have not done yet).
