Episode 38 is up, and I somehow missed (my chance to advertise by) posting when 37 went up... oh well *hops in a time machine*

Should have probably started linking to my episodes in the updates, so here we go!

(because I forgot) Episode 37:
Episode 38:

I don't know how often people look at the OP, so is it worth the time to link all my videos on it?

Thats what I do atleast, dont know how much used it is.

I haven't been watching many of your videos (since the instant I see one I end up wanting to play the game myself) But I noticed that at the beginning of that video, you captured a hound and instantly sold it. I used to do the same thing, but recently, I have discovered that if you refit them right, they can be a useful addition to your fleet. Set a hound up with a mauler, a vulcan cannon, and auxilery thrusters, and you will find that the hound, while still a bit weak against capital ships, is extremely useful at harassing.

I just generally don't like anything without a shield, even if it mostly doesn't need one. Also, the hound's weapon mounts just feel really limiting to me.

Episode 40 is up! Also, I think I may have figured out that squeaking problem, although I'm not 100% sure... it's pretty funny though if I'm right...

Anyway, here's the link , and link to my channel is in my signature below :D

As always constructive criticism is welcome/needed/appreciated/made sweet love too/uhhh... ignore that last one...

-snip-

I've found Hounds to be useful for anti-fighter/bomber work. They're ridiculously fast when you fit them with augmented engines, and not too flimsy with heavy armour. Nice for distracting the enemy away from your main-line ships with actual value as well. As far as fodder goes, they're the most useful.

Buffalo Mk2's can also be useful. I use them as budget artillery early on in a campaign. Just slap some LRMs on, give them good armour and perhaps some forward shields. They will stay out of harm's way, and bombard the enemy with long range missiles.

Plus they can carry lots of loot and personnel.

Yeah, they are good early game vanilla when you are fighting small fleets of frigates and fighters, anything bigger than that or mods and they are toast no matter how well balanced the mod is. good for selling tho, easy 10k credits if you capture one.

I did that (you might have seen) but the second I stopped baby-sitting it with orders it charged straight into the enemy! The AI really needs to be taught the Buffalo's aren't good...

Episode 41 is up!

More squeaking in this one, and probably in a few other pre-recorded episodes, sorry :(

Indeed, would be a shame if that LP got cut short.

I have a recommendation for you:

You should start preparing an opening dialogue, so that you know what your going to say, and wont have these rather horrible pauses between words. and perhaps to an extent you could try to plan what you're going to do in each episode, so that way you can come up with some suitable things to say whilst you fly around, or are doing things.

I kind of do the first one, but I don't want to be repetitive and say the same thing over and over again; there is a general structure to it though. As for the second one, I do give myself intermediate goals like obtaining Auroras, but I have no way to know who I'm going to have to fight and exactly how it's going to go, since fleets show up at random.
