Breaking Starsector is like breaking your old Grandmother's back. While not hard to do it's the creative and innovative ways people do it that makes it interesting.
I have been wondering for a long time if its possible to beat the hegemony without a big fleet Raid their fuel and supply production, after you get the strongest share in the sector for both of those. Ally ludds and pirates, send them after everyone else to raid and pillage. Wait. They cannot afford to fly their capitals (or even any ship at all) anymore Destroy their core stations, saturate bombardments for everyone Repeat and leave only those that you like (independents my beloved) Then destroy ludd and pirates (who you turned into corsairs) so no one can challenge you. They have outlived their usefullness. Declare yourself the heroe of the sector, after killing and starving billions. Rebuild and get rid of the remnants. Explore. Finally, some fucking peace and quiet.
The key system is not managed by an online server. It operates the same as older DRM CD Keys of the time. So long as you get the correct key combinations, it's infinitely reusable.
that has generally been the case. Especially for the low price for how nuts the game actually is. You will find people on the forums saying they used the key, liked it, so payed.@@FireTalon24
@@FireTalon24not everyone can actually buy a game, and this is not because they don't have a needed sum. I personally bought some games afterwards I played them, and sometimes after that stoped maybe not even played into them. Factorio is a good example in this list.
@@rogo7330I played the demo online of L4D2 for maybe half a year before I actually bought the game on xbox. I love games that are generous, it feels good to support them once you are able to
@@SnailBot, The first one is an all Dragonfire build, which are like a weird missile that shoots lasers. The second one is all Derelict Operations which basically means it’s like 30 Capital ships that have been intentionally destroyed and then not repaired to reduce their deployment cost. The third one is a broadside meme, there are broadside ships in the game but none of those are, the one in the top corner is flying backwards and the Invictus is using basically none of its weapon slots despite being one of the best ships in the game. The Griffin isn’t even using its large missile despite being the entire point of the ship. The fourth one is basically a bunch of civilian ships with missiles and safety overrides. To be honest pretty much everything after the money glitch is kinda a meme. The Prometheus MKII is not a good ship, it’s incredibly difficult to make use of and it needs 3SP each to be viable.
the developers are amazing too they constantly update the game and i even heard a dude say he bought 2 copy's to give one to his friend and the developer sent him an email asking if he meant to buy two and if he wanted a refund
PLEASE MORE STAR SECTOR! It's an underappreciated game with a lot of amazing content. P.S. ily ymfah, you're the only gaming youtuber I can watch that doesn't do verbal commentary. You are a master of your craft.
2:05 - The legend of VAPESMOKER420 continues in an alternate universe where he didn't create a colony run by an Alpha Core that specialized in organ harvesting.
NO WAY STARSECTOR CONTENT FROM YMFAH?!?! Seriously though I discovered this game last year and disappeared from my friends for a month, highly recommend.
This is really weird, but when i watch ymfah videos between afternoon and early evening, i become sleepy and take the tastiest, most delightful naps while the video is still playing.
I Remember doing practically the same economy exploit in Fable, but it always seemed like Starsector had it solved because prices adjusted as you increased/decreased quantities. I Guess we'll be seeing a patch to address edge case markets in future. Also echoing the hope that you'll do more on this game, there's definitely some cool challenge runs possible.
Well, in fable prices adjust as well, but you could bypass it if you sell/buy in batches. Here this exploit work because minimum buying price is 1 and it should be 2
I just killed my whole village and bought every house Sleep 3x i think and then collect money, repeat, repeat, repeat But then also discovered that seling exploit, i think it was with diamonds
Holy crap, first Stellaris and now Starsector. I know these videos probably won't get the poor guy as many views as he deserves, but damn do I love seeing ymfah do non-FromSoft/Bethesda stuff.
Ngl kinda forgot you existed because I've been avoiding elden ring spoilers until I upgrade my rig, but I was just talking to someone today about maybe getting Starsector for christmas and then youtube recommends you Welcome back to my heart Edit: Also nice Sseth reference in the opening credits
Wait wait wait. you mean to tell me. Ymfah. one of my favorite youtubers. plays Starsector? I am in tears, this game needs more publicity, and you might just give it that.
I've been playing this game on and off for something like 15 years, I think? At least 10. Back before hyperspace was a thing and fighter wings were separate units that could die. Good times.
"You shouldn't be here. You see a lifeless ship. It's the ISS Hamatsu, a famous lost vessel. You're not sure what caused it to fail. You recover the ship. You hear the siren's call. Heed the siren's call." If I'm not mistaken, that's about the most seriously Ymfah's taken and portrayed something in a game in one of these videos.
Yep, same here, I didn't see any reason to keep it on in HS so off it goes. Helps me sneak around the massive pirate fleets that are large enough to TPK any fleet beyond a late endgame fleet so I can get to the cool stuff faster. I also managed to sneak into a [REDACTED] controlled sector, two massive fleets were sitting next to the warp point. I realized what I was looking at and immediately went dark. Dumb ass [REDACTED] just let me pass unscathed, which is weird because I'm not running a super stealthy all-phase fleet or anything like that, I have multiple larger ships and even two gantries. I scanned and mined like 6 planets through a rather large black hole sector, and they only chased me when I sensor pinged a magnetic field. I outran them easily and was ready to transverse away if needed, though the small fleets that were in that sector I may have been able to take. I've not had much contact with them yet, I'm trying to find a really tiny fleet so I can poke them and figure out their weakness (other than the garden hose, we don't have one of them in space).
I appreciate the fleet tactics bit. Knowing what to do in this sort of game can be difficult, and its not like you can just fall back on real world tactics because games can be very arbitrary about what works and what doesn't.
YOO STARSECTOR?! I'm so glad you're making stuff woth this game. It deserves so much more recognition. To anyone reading this who hasn't played it I highly recommend.
I appreciate the community gentlemans agreement to keep *Them* Classified ,Cant say i expected starsector from you of all things,but it is a welcome thing!
Speaking about sseth's code. I love how starsector devs didn't disable that code in fear of hurting the sales. I tried the game with sseth's code a few years back and proceed to buy one for myself.
I don't know who you are but this vid came across my feed today. That Cowboy Bebop style intro gets an immediate like and sub from me. Also Starsector is an amazing game.
When I saw your last space game video, I was going to comment about how I need to see you break the hell out of Starsector, but didn't. Good to know you're still a very proficient telepath
I felt extremely vindicated when I saw THAT pfp, thought “hey hey, that’s VAPESMOKER420” and within a second was shown that ymfah had the exact same thought.
It’s a shame that a video that is clearly a passion to you didn’t do as well as your others, it would be really cool to see more content you genuinely enjoyed
"how to break" you mean "how to play" starsector doesnt break, it expects you to do things like this also glad to see another apogee enjoyer, i like fielding litterally 40 of em
Although I don't know this game very well and its genre is naturally hard to parse, this was still a very enjoyable video. Your editing was top-notch, and I'll bet any Starsector or Cowboy Bebop fans in the audience love that intro something fierce. Smaller projects and branching out are both good.
This video was wild ride and I had an idea that it would end with money but the journey there made me question everything every step of the way there. Definitely a cowboy bebop plot if I ever seen one.
For reference you can also press F1 while mousing over something to see the market prices at different planets, no need to guess who's selling the lowest based on market surplus alone (it'll even tell you how much is for sale on the market)
Great vid! And I must say, your taste in music is truly impeccable 👍. (I've been listening to The Seatbelts for two decades now and this video immediately gave me good vibes from the get-go.)

The Cowboy Bebop opening was a masterclass choice
And masterfully done too. I would rewatch just for the intro alone.
You can never go wrong with a Cowboy Bebop opening
I think it's inspired by the Sseth's video, in which he also blasted Cowboy Bebop while explaining how to smuggle drugs and harvested organ
This entire video is full of Cowboy Bebop music. It's just Kanno and The Seatbelts nearly constantly.
Never did I in my wildest dreams expect him to do a star sector video , truly beautiful

Its underappreciated cause its really really boring to watch
The fun in this game comes from roleplaying
Not fun to read this 😢
Underappreciated cause its only available on its own website, with no marketing, and the gameplay is very boring.
Please no lol. This was pretty boring. More AI videos. The top gear and man vs wild videos were way too entertaining
Too many people here with TikTok attention spans

Liked it just for the first minute alone. Nice edit.

Godlike intro. Haven't touched Starsector in over a year. Time to go back.
