Talk shows run in the men of my family, I'm finding I'm not different. Found your series today, 21st century talk radio, so much better than talk radio of the 80s. I. rarely. sub. ... Subbed.

Best S ship is Yasur, barring that Moreya. Best M ship is probably Hydra, not a big fan of M ships. Best L ship Syn Best XL ship Asgard.

Hey Skillet! After many hours of warfare against the Ascendancy I have a few tips to watch for. First off, be careful of movement commands on carriers, even attack commands. The first thing the SOB's do is recall subordinates, which basically locks up the fleet for almost a minute in the middle of combat. you can watch for it in the behavior tab. kill it if you see it. Second you sometimes will have to order the squadrons yourself. I have had several Star Destroyers try to fight off dozens of small ships by themselves, with 24 X-Wings in their bays... The best way to attack stations I have found, is to tell your station busting ships to Fly and Wait right next to that sucker, then kill the fly and wait command in the behavior tab and then order the attack. otherwise they will poke around the thing until most of their fighters and bombers are dead before actually attacking the damn station You should also be using the "Remove all orders" order, before giving ANY combat or movement orders to anything. just make it second nature. Lastly, if you notice a ship thats supposed to be attacking and its wandering away or not doing anything DON'T tell it to attack again. hit "Remove all orders" again and send a movement command closer to what he should be attacking. usually they will defend themselves which is as good as an attack order. Watch your Ship supply situation with your baby economy with all those new capital ships. you might want to drop an equipment dock down somewhere, just remember you can put wares production on it but no shipbuilding modules. other than that, looks great!

Damn that Answers a question I had I was trying to take over avarice (For the good of the inhabitants) because I destroyed the VIG and took their sectors during the final mission of the avarice questline. Then if you don't flip their sectors every time you get near a station even your own a security vessel will scan you and force your delivery vessel to eject foods/water because VIG still has police authority, I wasn't causing any permanent damage just sniping their admin centers with an Asgard but now I know why avarice 1 refused to flip and it is because I have to shoot their L fabricator too...

I would love where you can own sectors and develop your own faction with their own ships/people. Could be a mix and match of existing ships but make it your own with unique changes. Even if just cosmetic.

Great video. Subbed!

2:42 PM, good luck with your play through

Lol! You wanna talk about betrayal? I am at +30 with the Galactic Empire AND the New Republic. (don't ask how that happened.) I intend, this play through to Eliminate war in the Galaxy. so eventually one of them has to go. My goal is to eliminate all the factions that can't play nice together so I have to choose sides I'd sometimes rather not. Am currently eliminating The Anoat Federation and the Imperial Ascendancy. thats gonna take a while the we'll re-evaluate. I am hoping like crazy they don't update and maybe ruin my saves before I play this out. I am gonna be "The Great Peace Maker" and I don't care who I haveta kill to do it 😛

I’ve played a lot with the mod since the 6.0 version and after playing with nearly every ship in the game, I have to say that the Providence carrier is by far the best carrier of them all. So good choice with that. Not the best combatant, but surprisingly proficient in that role as well for a carrier. The reason I’m commenting though is that you’ll likely find yourself highly dependent on bombers at some point in your gameplay and therefore might be tempted to start to utilize support ships for quick restocks. I absolutely adore the very concept of support ships so I’ve done everything I can think of to make them work. However, with the advent of the maintenance system, plopping down a maintenance bay as you push into hostile systems is a far more efficient way of managing your military logistics, especially for things like missile wares. Supply ships aren’t especially burdensome on your maintenance costs, but you’ll quickly find an absolute ruthless efficiency in your heart for the size of your fleet. Whenever every half hour it cuts into your pocketbook just sitting there with everything must go attitude other than a few favorites. I don’t know if you found it yet, but you can see in the encyclopedia for a sector. What the supply of that sector is and therefore how you should prioritize your equipment docks.

Your Vigo AE77 corvettes are better anti fighter corvettes. the defender will get all ate up with fighters. The Defender is better at helping beat down capital ships. Look at the weaponry they have. PD turrets and Laser turrets are best at anti fighter work. Turbolaser turrets are more powerful, but track slow and miss fighters a lot. Unturreted Turbolasers are the heaviest hitting. but good luck hitting a fighter with one.

That was not a bad outcome. The reason you lost so many ARC-170's is they are much better bombers than fighters. The Starchasers the Merc fleets like to use will tear them up. Those V wings are great fighters, you should have had the ratio's reversed and had two V wings for each ARC-170. Biggest problem you have playing ICG vs CSA is lack of good carriers! a couple Dreadnaught Cruisers instead of Acclamators would have been a huge boost. The carriers keep the fighters and bombers inside until they attack which prevents the enemy from targeting them first. It brings the weight of the attack onto the carrier and then the Interceptors will peel them off. As you noticed intercept doesn't work great without a carrier. Without one, its better to select all your fighters and tell them to attack targets in an area. You can buy Dreadnaughts from the Hutts they are good early carriers Fighters and bombers are the workhorses of Interworlds, From the number of them you can tell It really is carrier based. So if you are playing on the Old republic side, suck up to Kamino and buy a couple Proclamators. they are real carriers with 24 ship hangars. As Far as fleet setup, I have posted it before but you need to pare down the fleet. One large cruiser or carrier, 2 - 4 medium corvettes on defense 12 fighters on intercept and 6 bombers on bombard. Thats a Fleet. If you have an XL cruiser or Carrier its Two large escorts on attack, two medium corvettes on defense with 24 fighters on intercept and 12 bombers on bombard. If your commander is not a carrier set up every third fighter on intercept and two fighters assigned to that interceptor on attack with commander. That way one fighter is intercepting for the commander and his two wingmen will gangbang his target. this helps survivability almost as much as flying from a carrier This way you give orders to individual capital ships and they will use the support you gave them to accomplish your objective. It doesn't work great but it works better than anything else I have tried. I have tried the nested order trees and every other way to order fleets I've ever heard of and this works the best in my experience. With this setup you could have flown your capitals to three slightly separate positions using Defend position. when they get there they will defend themselves in pretty good order while splitting the merc fleet fairly well. when the battle starts you can adjust depending on who got how much of the enemy fleet on them.

I think you were distracted, but she said the name at 16:33. I wonder if there is a delay in nested attack orders. i.e. the bottom most fighters were set to attack the target of the commander of the commander of the commander of their own commander. So basically they first had to wait for the ordinance cruiser to pick a target, then wait for the GS-80 to join that attack, then wait for the AEG-77 to join that attack, then wait for the lead ARC-170 to join in, then they could finally join in themselves. If you just had them in a blob under the ordinance cruiser, They could each respond in their own time to the ordinance cruiser, while also being more spread out, making it harder for hostiles to taken them down in clusters. I'm not quite sure what went wrong with the intercept command, but I will admit, when I use it, I usually have overwhelming numbers, so that likely obscures any weakness in the script. One thing that might have helped is to set up your defend position much further back (>100km) and activate travel for it the moment the mission triggered, that might be part of the issue with spreading the enemy out and picking them off. If we can't use intercept, maybe have all fighters nested under your Tie with attack target (Just have them initially set to Fly and Wait near the ord while you bait the enemy out, then manually release them once you get back to the fleet so they don't kamikaze themselves). The ordinance could then focus on the big guys with manual attack orders via the map screen while paused.

My monkey brain cant handle manual ship micro management. Usually I chug in all ship under 1 high level Commander of a L or XL class ship and that's is it, No wings, No subwings. Ship default orders like intercepts works way better the higher the commander level is. The entire fleet performs way better in my experience. I also focus fire all S and M class on a single target and shift click to chain command other enemies so that all ships go immediately attacking the next target instead of coming to stop and calculating. Like an RTS death ball. Pause the game with pause button to issue the commands. You will loose ships but if you kill your enemies faster you will loose less.

I like your videos, you have skills, but 20 seconds at the beginning of the video has zero sound. I recommend at least have some kind of sound. Any ways thanks for the Video and good luck.

The best fleet compositions are the ones that require the least input from you. I have found the more I try to micromanage the fight the more often the Ai does dumb shit like flying off in random directions and doing what I call Vapor Lock which means they just sit there thinking about it during the fight. The most effective setup I have found is to have one ship being the fleet commander and assigning subordinates. that way I order one ship to do something and leave it up to the AI to figure out how. For instance my smallest fleet setup is anti pirate, which is one good sized medium and six fighters. I have one of these in every good sized sector, I can usually vector in a couple for most problems. next up is my standard fleet element which is one Large cruiser, preferably a carrier like a Dreadnaught, Victory II, or Geonosian Frigate with four medium escorts, 12 fighters and 12 bombers. This can handle most random emergencies. Lastly is my actual war fighting squad which is One XL carrier like a ISD or an MC80 Two large escorts like a Nebulon B or Imperial light frigate set to attack with commander, two medium anti fighter ships set to defend commander, 24 fighters on intercept and 18 bombers on bombard. With this setup you give orders only to the fleet commanders and they do a fairly decent job of executing your orders. you take however many fleet commanders you think you need to do whatever you gotta do. A lot of the time I don't even order them to attack, I just fly them close enough for them to aggro the bad guys. If you try and get too fancy and order all the ships exactly where you want you inevitably end up with a baffling array of random behaviors.

I thought maybe you were trying to strip away the escorts, but not sure now. You had your fighters in defence instead of intercept, so they were mostly just doing their own thing eating popcorn and waiting for the ordinance cruiser to get attacked while watching your personal fighter get wailed on. Overall it seems like a decent attack to me (just with a slightly awkward start), so congrats on getting your shiny new HQ :) In regard to fleet composition. I usually just make wings of 4-10 fighters with the primary on intercept and its subordinates on attack, so they gang up on 1 fighter at a time and systematically pick them off. I couldn't make out what the ordinance cruiser was targeting for the initial fight (was the order defend position?) until you took over the captain's seat, but I suspect it was trying to hit fighters instead of capitals based on that order.

From what i can tell, you sent in your lighter ships in too early and they got overwhelmed. The enemy AI tends to dogpile whatever it see's first. You were never going to lose with three heavy cruisers, they likely could have won by themselves. Unfortunately the AI also makes it hard to determine what you were trying to do because its kind of janky about WHEN it decides to carry out your orders. Personally I would have dropped one of the Acclamators and replaced it with more anti fighter medium ships and filled out my fighter squadrons. I would have had each heavy cruiser have one large escort and four anti fighter mediums set to defend commander with 12 fighters on intercept and 12 bombers on bombard. With that setup you can fly the heavy into the fight where you want it and all its support will follow it in pretty closely. With say your Ordinance Cruise and one Acclamator set up as mentioned you could have sent them in a little separated and split the enemy fleet better. Good editing by the way. Vid was fun to watch.

Owning a sector makes no sense atm in this game. Its better to let neutral sectors as they are.

Before building up enough of a fleet for a HQ attack, you make want to put down a couple EQ docks, otherwise you may find your money vanishing in a puff of smoke. Once you cross that threshold they check your supply every 30mins and the credit cost from having insufficient supply can be catastrophic. I'm not sure how well factions handle contesting space with friends, usually, by the time I was up to that in vanilla X4, I just had no need. They seem to like/require it in Interworlds, but that seems to be limited to border systems, so no idea if that would get ugly if you start popping them up inside their inner sectors.

hi

Hey brother! My power stations make a minimum 100k credits per game minute each! average about 250k. Its the Interworlds goldmine. As far as other wares, strangely enough Graphene sells well through most of the game but starter resources in general are the best. Silicon wafers, Graphene, Durasteel plates, microchips, etc. Rhydonium cores are hard to transport and the market fluctuates badly. You have a shortage now, but by the time you get production built it could have radically changed. its the same with Module prefabs, Advanced electronics etc, anything that takes a lot of resources to produce is pretty volatile. Its better to make the things that make the things if you catch my drift. for instance in your playthrough I would drop a mining station between the big shipyards and the Rhydonium fields and mine Rhydonium rather than trying to produce cores. The only reason I produce cores is to feed my own shipyard. You are correct in the ARC-170 being one of the best small ships especially for pirating and you have a GS-80 which is my favorite medium and personal combatant. but yes with 25-30 min videos the wide range of ship scaling in Interworlds deserves its own. The AI in Interworlds is also vastly different, you are just scratching the surface with the bailing mechanics. The Combat AI is not as good as the current X4 AI, but overall it has a LOT more variety of response to stimuli 😛you also have to be careful of your orders in combat or you can easily lock up your captains decision loop and cause him to take an inordinately long time to take actions. It's looking good so far though! The Power stations will give you steady income, just beware your urge to supply everything all at once, The AI will recognize shortages pretty well too so you can end up out competing yourself and crashing prices in the long run. Basically if its a high end resource, only produce it if YOU need it yourself.

You can harvest other factions, is the main draw for me.

The problem with the Albatross is that it doesn't have a dedicated outlet for launching drones. This results in Albatross relying on the only S platform to deliver defense drones. Other builders may also have this problem. If someone thinks that there is no need to recycle drones, then 243 defense drones are indeed very suitable for you.

Have you researched the ability to hack(steal) modules? I suspect a no since you haven't unlocked research. Might I suggest you read the FAQ on the interworlds website?

Reemergence is great, they are currently working on a big, save breaking update, so if you want to start a long going series, I'd wait for a few months, until they updated the mod.

Lol! I have all the DLC's and over 1500 hours in X4 and I've never done this quest...

7:56 I didn't here the P in ASP RAIDER... And I'm like, what?

As a very specific example, if you take the Moreya and give it a mk3 Split Shield, un-modded you get 8.9s delay, with a 177MW recharge rate and 1200 MJ total shields. Throw in a Pavise mod and you can theoretically get it up to as much at 2040 MJ total shields, or with Traction as low as a 2.67s recharge delay and 301 MW recharge rate, though at that point your shields are so paper thin you will probably die before it gets a chance to help, so probably safer with a Pavise in this case. BUT, if you used a Terran shield instead, and used a Targe mod, you can theoretically get it as high as 1927 MJ but with an 8.09s delay and 315 MW recharge rate. These are extreme examples and you will probably never see the numbers quite this high in reality, but it at least gives us an idea of how much a single mod can change the dynamics of a critical aspect of a ship and even completely change the base module preference. Below is a list of the effect of the theoretically maxed tier 3 shield mods on Split, Teladi and Terran MK3 shields on the Moreya, sorry, I didn't have spare time to test more races, but this at least gives a rough idea of the two extremes and a middle ground option: Split default: 8.9s 177 MW 1200 MJ Traction: 2.67s 301 MW 1200 MJ Targe: 6.23s 230 MW 1560 MJ Pavise: 2040 MJ Teladi default: 13.9s 210 MW 1552 MJ Traction: 4.17s 357 MW 1552 MJ Targe: 9.73s 273 MW 2018 MJ Pavise: 2638 MJ Terran default: 11.5s 242 MW 1482 MJ Traction: 3.45s 411 MW 1482 MJ Targe: 8.05s 315 MW 1927 MJ Pavise: 2519 MJ

While I really enjoy this game and it fills a lot of the the things I wanted in a space game after about 600 hours I have noticed a lot of glaring issues. It really feels like a lot of features in this game don't have much depth to them at all. Sector ownership/diplomacy is one of them. Yeah I found a little niche in making raw materials illegal to nearly monopolize my trade with the boron and make them dependent on me but outside of that there's not much else outside building a drug factory next to a free port in a sector I own so I don't have to think about police stopping me. The mechanics of having your own police also feels rough around the edges. If you aren't careful, it seems like they can easily become relation destroyers while at the same time just completely ignoring the 5 mining ships holding methane I declared illegal. On top of that, sometimes they have some odd propensity to become suicide magnets to khaak stations. With diplomacy I find it bizarre you can declare war but there's no real way to make peace. Instead declare war feels like a "let's just exterminate each other for eternity" button. I remember finishing the Kingdom's end missions and the Boron declared an attack on Argon would be treated like an attack on them. Well I see other than them having a fleet in each others territory not much has changed and the Argon don't seem to care all that much whenever my police decides to gun down the poor boron trying to smuggle ice. I do hope they do improve on the current existing mechanics sooner or later. I was shocked to hear when timelines released the Sapporo it was just some ship that existed without an identity. At least they did later made changes to that ship from what I have heard.

I am so sorry guys, I didn't mention THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT REASON for owning sectors! In Star Wars Interworlds, you will be charged payroll and maintenance fee's for every ship you own! this bill comes due every 30 in game minutes. at first its a minor annoyance, but when you get to the mining/trading fleet stage it becomes an issue. owning a sector reduces your maintenance cost by 100 points. Also building ship maintenance docks reduce it further by 100 points for S/M ship dock, 200 for L ship dock and 300 for XL ship dock, and do NOT add any ship building modules on these station as then it will become a wharf or a shipyard and cease to count! it MUST be a maintenance dock.

Ok Guys , I know its VERY hard to find good tips to get started in Interworlds, so here is all you really need to know. Find a small faction that has a wharf only (My favorite is Correlia). You can usually buy their licenses for 5 - 6 million credits. This will get you access to basic production modules and turrets as well as better ships. The absolute steadiest form of Income is the lowly Power station. Drop a station with six solar panels and two large container storage in EVERY sector that has a Shipyard or a Wharf, preferably both. Make sure it has large and small docks and the sunlight is at least 100%. My current game is about 13 hours old and all of my power stations make a minimum100,000 credits per MINUTE, routinely its as much as a quarter million a minute. The economy is very weird in X4 Interworlds. It has several wares in constant short supply. For early game money, I usually fly around stations and take the quick missions until I find some fighting going on. battle scavenging is a little better. Once you can afford a really good ship, like a Correlian GS-80 or so, you can collect some bounties and pirate for better money.

The citizenship status mechanic really does make sense. Why would a government allow you to buy and equip warships simply for being friendly? Requiring your continued participation in the economy and in the defense of the government-controlled space makes sense, to some extent. I imagine that some more stable governments shouldn't even allow that, really, but those that are struggling would be more agreeable. I do wish you could unlock blueprints by disassembling and studying a captured ship at your headquarters, however, like you could in X3. That would add a bit of challenge to unlock warship blueprints, otherwise jealously guarded by their owner. As for money, I do recall how much grinding there was at the beginning to get some startup capital. The headquarters story missions made it somewhat easier, as unlocking production modules really helped save credits early on, while allowing you to build credit printing stations. That's not as easy in SWI. Doing missions, large mining fleets, trade fleets, early stations, even pirating, are a bit of a necessity. One day I will have made enough credits to build my own ships, with fully vertically integrated factories feeding wharves and shipyards. In the meantime, I shall be frugal.

You have to unlock the research to pirate blueprints the same way you would in the base game, which requires the headquarters. So first you have to find the headquarters. And then liberate it

The HEPT seems to have the larger projectile, making it easier to hit targets with despite being slower, however i have yet to aquire, and test, either of the Timelines ships/weapons. I definitely want the X Shuttle, for the historic background alone already, i flew it in the very first game, i got it in X3 where possible, of course i want it again in X4.

Since "Prometheus" is a name of a person, a greek god to be precise, the plural would be "Prometheus class ships". Or you try the latin rule, swapping the "-us" for "-i", i´m not sure whether that apllies to names too, but it would be at least according to latin grammar rules.

If you can get the Kuat Drive yards licenses (very expensive) and the Correlian Licenses (pretty cheap) that will get you access to everything a growing Emperor needs. You can then worry about getting faction specific ships through rep as you can. The main reason I have for owning a sector is the Frontier station requirement. If you own the sector next door you can build a frontier station in the adjacent sector and its all good. If you build a station on a frontier with another faction, if your faction seizes control of the frontier sector you will no longer have a "Frontier" station and you will lose access to all the licenses you were using until you can get another station built. Your other question, yes you can get blueprints from EMP Bombing stations, but that only works for "production" blueprints. you still have to buy shipbuilding and hardware blueprints.

the only sector i own in my main save is the mist of artemis. it was not claimed and it had everything i needed for a private shipyard so i claimed it and blocked the gate off. good times

Terrans and Closed Loop production should go for other components for production, which MIGHT make it easier. You can get literally INFINITE Advanced Satellites on any Terran or Vigor/Bakers wharft/yard because they produce them differently. My biggest issue with missiles is that my ships always are full after a short fight, so i have to send them back to sell them so i can get more money from collecting them.

Let's go! I just started an SWI playthrough today. So excited to find that you have started one too! I love all of your X4 content.

In my first game, started with the release of the craddle of humanities update, I've gotten a big problem that developed since timelines was released. Prior to updating the Xenon progress into Split space was stopped and Argon, Teladi and Terrans were cleaning up the Xenon stations. Since the update, Pirate attacks are rampant across the universe, pyrimid boys have been doing devastating attacks in 5 sectors and the Xenon have reestablished their dominance in Split space. Things were quiet before the update but it's like the floodgates were opened. I'm building gate defense teams of 5 Nemesis Vangards each, 4 set to attack with the leader. This has slowed or stopped pirate attacks where they are set to defend a area around a gate. I put an order of 80 ships into my main shipyard and have about 30 completed and deployed. I'm adding escourt fighters to destroyers who have been moved to sectors with pirate destroyers or pyrimid boy activity. My main carrier fleet is holding a xenon gate preventing them from reinforcing their captured split sectors. About a dozen Xenon ships have bailed to this fleet in the few hours its been there. My BlackFlag fleet is trying to "recruit" more destroyers for sector patrols. Im currently building a dedicated fleet for handling pyrimid boy stations, trying out missle and torpedo centered weapon setups for the first time. While im also trying to repair my trading fleet, constructing large production station to support the expanding the number of s/m/l shipyards Im constructing around the Universe. Another frustrating thing is that two of my missions are stuck on hiring pilots with specific stats. My issue is those that do meet the requirements don't give me the option to hire them, I've checked stations for the major races with no luck. I still need to finish the timeline missions and recovering the few ships I've already unlocked.

Lol! started playing an Interworlds game and found it still has some old X4 bugs alive and kicking. specifically I now have a builder just sitting next to my station not building and I can't fire him or move him. The old solution is to kill him and hire another, but I'd really like to not piss off my main ally. do you remember any other fixes for this?

6:20 now you can set individual turret behaviours (attack capital ships first, Attack capital ships ONLY) to fix the rocket issue with s and m ships

very good video, i would add something to your firepower point though. see.... what happends if A intercepter engages into a fleet of 10 khaak ? he gets blown up when he is alone. but he is not alone, with 5 additional subordinates set to "attack" he would be the first one to take damage if those would instead be set to "intercept" but the attack command "spreads out the damage onto all connected ships. so.... the damage multiplier of 10 khaaaks, has to calculate against the combined shield and hullpower of the interceptor plus his attacker subordinates. wich means, they'll never be able to take a ship out as long you are out of sector. when you're in a 40 km radius arround this fighting squad, that behaviour completely gets neglected, since fleets in your render distance, take out one enemie after the other, it is allways the combined firepower hitting a single target. that is the difference of a fleet that consistantly looses ships to a fleet that never looses ships. it technically is possible to have enough interceptors so that an Xenon I wouldn't be able to even shoot down one out of sector. additional "shared hullpoints" can be achieved by mixing in M class ships to the mix.

Small hint here, while exploring the galaxy you might encounter some of the Katana fleet ship hidden in space or asteroid fields but good luck finding them, manage to get 4 of them in my fleet but it took a lot of scout ships to find them.

Liked and subbed. Never even heard of the Cutlass.

Split ships are way faster, while they have smaller cargo, for cargo/kms they win, in my opinion.

I have a question: why in gods holy trousers do you not turn off your trade and reputation gained alerts? They are literally constant.

once I finish factorio space age, I can get back to finishing satisfactory and then I can finally finish x3tc... can't wait to get back to x4 lol

hello t skillet pour ma part les xenons ont envahi les splitt il faut que j intérviennne ou pas je me pose des questions mercii pour tes videos sa m aide
