Currently can hire plenty of guys but only use about 20-30

    Video Idea: Starter ships, how to make them -> why certain things are chosen (price, early game power vs cost, defense, etc) -> different difficulties/economies designs
    You're using them every episode, you do address it slightly on the basics guide, but I think just a 5-6 minute video on all of what I mentioned might be more beneficial and another video. :)

    I am a new player to the game. After I killed a few pirates and collected the bounties, I transitioned straight into a huge mining/factory ship with just a bunch of cannons and lasers on the front to fight off any pirates.
    I have been strip mining everything, building advanced parts, and using that to expand the ship and sell anything extra. The crew limitations seem a bit harsh for this kind of ship, but otherwise I haven't yet run into any problems. I have been able to just bully even other factions starbases because my ship is just a big rectangle with armor around it. Anything the front points at dies within second.
    I can't wait to see what some of the harder areas will look like. I hope this kind of ship is viable at higher levels. I've only made it to 6-8 difficulty areas so far.

      @uncledrake6606 ปีที่แล้ว

      I sincerely hope new players don't take that ship design for an example!
      The ship in this video has several blatant problems.
      A - There is no situation in the game at all, where a mining ship could ever need more than 2 mining lasers. None.
      B - Enemy ships are not random in this game. You can't be surprised by a roaming enemy ship while mining, ever! So why waste resources and manpower building weapons into a miner?!
      C - There is no collision damage in this game, so armor on a miner just wastes energy on thrusters you don't even need. Miners will never be in a fight.
      D - Ammo factories are pretty much useless on a ship that doesn't use cannons or a minelayer. Stockpiling ammo is almost never viable vs slapping an ammo factory directly on a cannon/railgun

  • @HuNgerforrock
    @HuNgerforrock ปีที่แล้ว +16

    To give you some ideas as a beginner what mistakes (I suppose they were mistakes at least) I made which you haven't covered yet: blueprint frenzy - I bought a lot of blueprints the moment I had the money, involving all kinds of weapons and factories instead of upgrading my ship and I wasn't even sure if those modules are important, weapons variete - after having a lot of blueprints I started putting every kind of weapon on my ship, so it had rockets, lasers, deck cannon, but just a few from each since I'm not a millionaire yet and I doubt it was working effectively, mining and factories - now that I cleaned the first sector I decided to create a mining and factory/storage ship to collect all the stuff in the clean sector to just realize I don't have the money for that... I wanted to build an uranium enricher but it is hella expensive so I will probably reduce my main ship for this, however I'm unsure if I should just jump to the next sector instead. It is also not trivial to a novice player to find out how one's ship is worth. At least I realized I should use blueprint mode more pruposefully to find out the costs. AHh also the engine room was very seducing with the promise of optimising energy distribution and 50% more thrust, so I rushed it when probably I shouldn't have (at least when I got it I did put thrusters all around :D). My main ship had 2 engine rooms full of thrusters, same practically non-existent armor as the model-s starting ship with the very same one and only small shield, and 1 from every kind of cannons except rail and prism. My little abomination

    • @Spinexus
      @Spinexus ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Jump to the new system if your limit is personnel. If not build your carrier in your current system.
      For the main ship: Choose a weapon type you like (energy or ammo based) and use a mix of those besides point defense always run those.
      For the carrier: Just build it, even if it´s just an engine with storage and 2 crew. It can hold more stuff that you can sell which starts the loop of expanding it, piece by piece (if you dont know how to get more ships YT is your friend)
      Hope any of this helped!^^

    • @_fiend
      @_fiend ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I highly recommend you think small when it comes to ships in this game, as they are balanced. Small thrusters vs medium vs big basically is about speed, so a ship with lots of small thrusters will move quickly in tight spaces, and turn faster, but the big ones let you hit a faster max speed. Same with heavy lasers and big guns, more dps, but also less accurate fire. The trade off for these things is often subtle or sometimes very obvious like my ship had four laser turrets which I turned in for two large ones and I gained 10 kmph more in my speed while also being able to power them better, having less doors, but still my four laser setup was stronger since I could target four shots accurately instead of two poorly aimed ones. My best idea so far is to not concern my primary ship with resources at all, only carrying the bare minimum, and I have a freighter that comes to collect all loot for me, and a guard ship for it.

    funny story because my current minning ship also pushes things into stars to take the resources (particularly stations after i do the missions, and sell my stuff haha). but the minning laser and resource gatherer i use to do this with means my crew doesnt leave my ship to mine/gather because it would be death sometimes... also i have a crew role specifically for using the mining lasers over everything else, and another one on general all energy supply, helps the lasers not go down...

  • @bradleyyang9076
    @bradleyyang9076 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Personally I like first mining the entire asteroid before moving under all the stuff to pick it all up, also you can make it so there isn't as much storage for hyper-coils so the hyper-coil factory will stop once it fills up the storage (idk what the plural for storage is) that it is assigned to, it will stop. i think.

      Depends on what you mean by storage. The actual storage entities like a vault, or just generally the space where you can put stuff. Because storage as entity has plural with 's', but as the 'general space where you can put stuff' it has no plural form

    • @TimboTbagz
      @TimboTbagz ปีที่แล้ว

      Technically speaking, 'enough storage' is just as viable as 'enough storages'.
      'Storages' is only correct when you actually have multiple storage locations i.e. 3 storage rooms a.k.a. 3 storages. You can still refer to your entire storage as simply 'storage'.
      It's essentially the same as saying 'space' or 'spaces'. You can have enough 'space', but you can also have enough 'spaces' if there are separate spaces.
      Your use of English in your comment is, therefore, correct in my view.
      One final point: The plural is 'as many storages', rather than the singular 'as much storage'.

    quick thing about the airlocks, they use the closest airlock to the stuff, yeah, but thats a good thing. When they go to refill air, they don't fly all the way back to the middle of the ship, they refill at the nearest airlock and go back out, so they are slower getting into space, but faster once they are in space

    Any modders who may be watching ( I don't know how hard this is so ill assume very hard) it would be cool if someone could make a mod that made auto trading and made npc ships come and trade with you. So you can make a trade station. Set some parameters fill it with stuff and let ships come back and forth to it and trade with you like your a station. May be stupid. May not be but I'd download it because I want a reason to design a station. If anyone makes something like that fantastic. Haha. Just a thought is all

In the midgame when you have some factories for yourself, economy is not important anymore since you can afford everything. with rising solar-system-difficulty the asteroids also are getting bigger and richer regarding resources.
