- In this series we are setting out to only use carriers as we attempt to survive the universe of Starsector playing as Magnae Pugnatores. In this challenge series I am only allowed to use ships with a fighter bay this comes with an exception for civilian vessels that we need to carry our loot and fuel.
Releases schedule - This series will be released every other day
Game Description + Link -
Starsector (formerly “Starfarer”) is an in-development open-world single-player space-combat, roleplaying, exploration, and economic game. You take the role of a space captain seeking fortune and glory however you choose.

Hey everyone hope you like the video we are releasing this series every other day :)
Loved your previous starsector series. So happy to see a return to this game.
Love your starsector vids!
@@joel4377😊
pro tip for the prism freeport. Ships cost like 10% more to almost double what they normally do. Fighters cost anywhere from double to 5 times as much. Guns are like a tiny increase if they are harder to find ones. (it was painful watching you drop 50k on fighters worth 20k or less)
TH-cam just popped this up for me. I'm so happy for you and to see you've got a successful youtube. Well done Threatx! : )
The Legion Class : So... I heard you're doing a carrier run....
Lol always showed up that poor legion
I cannot believe you scrapped a Legion Battlecarrier! You could have left it and came back for it later! You basically won the RNG lottery and threw it away!
Starting with Mining Drones is like playing Warhammer 40k with only guardsmen. Flashlights, En Mass.
Wooohooo, Starsector. I was expecting you to play this again... Just not so soon, what a treat.
First episode of a tough, slow-start challenge and already rocking the Heron... you are just too good for your own good. Loving to see more Starsector from you.
I would 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00,000% love to see this series go on for a long time and to see anymore star sector series... ^^
Well that depends on the reception
seems well liked
@@ThreatXlmaoo you have your answer
My personal fav capital ship that has decks is the Odyssey. Couple plasma cannons and usually just some Xyphos as my support. You can circle around with that plasma burn and decimate a lot of ships. It's got some nice missile hardpoints as well.
Wait the odyssey has decks?! That thing hit so hard that I forgot about them
Ah, returning to where it all began for me -- I found you through Starsector. Let's go!
Awesome that you are doing starsector
I love your starsector vids! Have been meaning to tell you that while you were gone I completely rewatched your imperium and pirate videos!
I didn't even need Google translate. In my 6 years of experience in class I know that the name roughly translates to big fights
I discovered your channel with MnB2, but since the game doesn't work on my computer anymore for some weird reason, I looked a bit into your other videos and discovered this serie.
That's pretty awesome! I have starsector on my computer but I have to admit I don't really understand anything beyond the tutorial so it's great to see someone who actually knows what he's doing x)
Love me some Starsector vids. And love me some carrier action. Reminds me of my Starcraft Protoss Carrier has Arrived! days.
good to have you bak in Starsector! your videos of the game my go-to whenever they pop up!
Omg I didn’t want to watch the Brettonian series because i dont like the mod but this is my favorite series of yours ❤️
Yeh me too, after awhile that series kinda got very boring :(
bannerlord mid and late game is well mid in definition might try and mix it up in the future
@@ThreatXI only watched till you created your kingdom.
After that it’s all too repetitive.
It was a long time since I last played Starsector, but my go to best ship was the Pirate Mule (Mule (P)) which is a destroyer sized freighter. The (P) variant adds speed, militarized subsystems and all those goodies along with shielded cargo (no more getting caught for smuggling) and if I remember a large ballistic slot with very good angles.
But the beauty of my build, especially for this series, is to then equip it with the custom fighter bay mod, which makes it into a very nice ship, that is both a very good good cargo carrier as well as a decent support ship in combat, supporting from the back lines with a fighter and a long range ballistic weapon.
And my favourite bomber is the longbow, I think, the one that has the Sabot kinetic missiles, which it fires at fairly long range and then explodes into shotgun shells and causes massive flux to enemies. Keeps the bombers safe and weakens the enemy a lot.
We stay away from mod bays as it kinda means i can use everything lol so has to have a natural one
@@ThreatX
Yeah, but the Pirate Mule is primarily a freighter. And you'll still need cargo haulers and tankers (and especially crew transports) other than just carriers.
The Pirate Mule is just a nice mix of a good freighter that can also be made into a decent combat support ship. With fighters.
@ThreatX Always more Starsector, very much looking forward to this man!
I've been hitting Starsector hard lately so this is just perfect! Something to watch whilst I develop my colonies!
YESSSS, this is what I have been waiting for. Lets get it!!!
Really enjoyed your previous statsector runs. I'm a huge carrier fan myself. Can't wait for each episode of this run!
How timely, just finished the old Pirate Lord playlist today and was jonesing for more Sector, and here it is. Very glad to see it, fond memories of carrier spam in the older versions.
I must admit I miss the days when they where not attached to ships and just dominated the map
Carriers.... my preferred way to play. There is something really fun about watching the waves of fighters go out and decimate the enemy.
Ah yes, glad to have back keep up the good work!
This is a cool challenge. (You can turn off your transponder in hyperspace so it is harder for unfriendlies to find you)
oh but what is the fun in that i like danger
Happy to see the Star Sector series return, and with Carriers only it's going to be very interesting
I was looking forward to you playing starsector (love seeing your vids)❤
Yes Yes yes ThreatX and Starsector, what more to wish for
I have been waited for this for so long
Looting that Legion carrier was epic😂😂
Babe wake up new threatx starsector series
Love it! This is a game you actually got me to buy! I have put alot of hours in it
Holy shit man what a lucky start, battle carrier, venture and heron? Only if you had steady capital to field the venture or the first big mofo reliably.
Some might say you are piloting carriers wrong, but man, it was fun seeing you practically spearhead and skirt between pretending to be an Onslaught and carrier
I never play as carriers lol my only love is warships XD
Gosh, its so tempting to start playing starsector again
Ayoooooo, i was waiting for you to start another starsector series, i actually downloaded your entire imperium series to pass the time between my college classes, tnx a bunch for the fun times, some of my friends play starsector too, and we just have fun talking about the chaos that is UAF XD
They are busted hahaah XD
The God of Starsector has returned!
FINALLY, a Carrier Only challenge. Thank you.
Awesome I love your Starsector vids.
Surprisingly entertaining. I didn't know of this game.
Its a great hidden gem with a very long dev cycle
@@ThreatX Man people don't know about Empire Earth either for example. A lot of old gems. Same with Supreme Commander.
I 100% love your starsector series! I'm very much looking forward to this one (if you wish to avoid storms and asteroid hits, hold the S key while traversing the hazard *No afterburner engaged)
see that never works for me people always say it holding s just stops my fleet
Love it! Around 26:30 is "Asteroid punting for fun & profit!" Fear the rock 🙂
Fighter + Missile swarms is a crazy powerful build. Shame about the Legion Battlecarrier, but I can respect not wanting to just invalidate the early game. I rather do like to have a bit of a challenge getting started, in my own campaigns. It makes success feel that much better.
The king has returned fully… 😢😢😢
11:00 A bit late, and I don't know if you already know but.
In case you're worried about others attacking you in hyperspace or unexplored systems, turn OFF your transponder, not sure if Nex has special AI rules, but normally legit factions won't do anything to you in hyperspace even with your transponder off, and it MASSIVELY reduces the range at which actually hostile fleets can detect and begin to intercept you from.
I basically play Starsector like a submarine game, always turning my transponder off when not ''legally'' required to have it on to reduce my sensor profile, then I get ships with really good sensors so that I can prowl around seeing everyone while they're clueless to my existence. Nebula + Asteroid belt is basically my dreams made manifest.
YESSSSS FINNALY I WAS WAITING FOR THIS
Hey glad to see you back and hopefully well. Happy to see your new vid's again.
Thanks, you too!
I have never watch a play through of this game before but let’s see how this goes.
Carrier only is my favorite. Good choice going fighter uplink first. You may want to spend story points on reinforced hull on the condors bc they'll go down without a melee ship up front.
All other ships and cargo are randomly generated in the system loot, but Legions are specifically hardcoded into the sector generation; they have their own line in the generation script, and its between 10-15 that will surely generate. Also, one ofthe best working combo is 1 Broadsword and 2 bombers, as the broadsword gets to the enemy ship sooner than the bombers and it acts pretty much the same as the bombers until it releases its flares that are usually very good to confuse the enemy PD and let the bombers hit.
I end up doing a broad - long - and the hammer torp as my main group good mix
Actually it's 3 per sector that spawn
I believe that they added a setting in the latest version to turn off the blinding flash from ship explosions.
Carriers are so much fun and using them as a "challenge' was a clever idea.
This will be a very entertain series to watch. Cheers mate!
Yeh had no idea and already recorded a ton though imo i normally do not mind the flashbangs but ppl on YT do not have the same feelings XD
Yessss I have been waiting for a Starsector series!!!
Glad to see you back in starsector
ive been waiting for a new starsector game
Some S-mods get better, some get worse. I believe it generally has to do with how many points it costs.
Pretty sure all logistics mods also get better s-mod regardless of OP cost.
sooo.... you're right about there being a load of legions about out there...
you'll probably be kicking yourself a little when you notice that it was a 14th battlegroup legion though. :P
We can just kill a fleet and get one :)
aw yeah. was hoping for more starsector
Very clever naming. Great video, great game. Thank you ❤
Haza, back to spase! Thank you
Was hoping you would play starsector again 🎉
I'm late to the party, by quite a while... But I'm glad to see you're back. Welcome back! And you're playing Starsector as well. Nice!
Edit: I seriously cannot believe he dismantled a Legion...
Well they are all over the place and thanks :)
Maybe not to the extremes as mentioned in the video (30+) but there’s usually 3-4 spawn a game.
Nex Mod I've used and just wow. It really is amazing
You passed up on a Venture, but I'd like to suggest that they would make an excellent cargo hauler for your fleet in keeping with your limitation of 'carrier only', given they have a capacity of 600 cargo AND built-in Surveying Equipment as a hull mod. Perhaps not the best in a fight, although they've got quite a few Ballistic slots, but certainly a potentially valuable addition to your fleet.
Here's hoping you can find a Drover or two, they've always been my to-go for Destroyer-sized battlecarrier.
Alas went with allowing civi ships or late game would be a nightmare
push for the monthly D-mod repair skill (yellow skill near the end) and the droneship recovery one too (last tier of blue skills). getting a droneship carrier with alpha AI on your team can be hilariously OP.
Also, running drones instead of fighters means 0 crew loss, though their bombers aren't exactly the best. (you've got to have a fleet that can handle at least medium threat drone systems, preferrably high threat ones, to farm enough drone LPC though)
heh, yup, you can tell i wrote this comment before the end of the vid
😂
It's smuggling time. 🎉❤
Sweet. Are you allowing converted hangar hull mod (or too much of a cheat to pretty much get every ship)
EDIT: Never mind, you answered that in the video.
Big YT luck though, great pick up that heron
Lol yeh I think later on I decide has to have a fighter bay bar civilian ships
Tahlan Shipworks offers some good carriers as well.
No faction mods in this just wanted to play with the base stuff
The legion actually has a preset number of spawns in the game code, so youre bound to find on quite early in exploration
9:38 "This is a _fast_ carrier!"
9:57 "It's so good; it's _extremely_ fast!"
10:47 "The problem is that it's very slow."
Uhhhh, what?
Well it is a fast carrier in name and in relation to carriers but not to regular ships
@@ThreatX Ah that makes a lot more sense! Lol that went right over my head apparently.
Yes! YES! My only playstyle ❤
Lol
Such a fantastic game.
Just in case you weren't aware, there's an option now to turn off the screen white out when ships and things blow up
I know now i did not know they moved it away from being in the mod however i already recorded a ton so wont be turned off anytime soon
Curious to see how you end up making this work.
A carrier-only combat fleet would be one thing, but denying the entire support continent? Oof...
Logistics ought to be the backbone of any (carrier) fleet. XD
Watching you stop yourself from selling all your weapons is so good to see lol.
Oh no that is a coincidence 😂 not going to be many guns in this one
I love you videos, ❤ good work 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
No it can not be over now, I need more!
STARSECTOR!!!!
Nice!
To the stars!!!!!!
Oh boy more Starsector! These are the best
This luck is unbelievable. A heron and a legion in the first 2 systems visited? I've gone entire playthroughs without seeing a single legion, you get a XIV one on the first go
Prism Freeport can have a heavy markup, especially the high-end seller (I think the high-end seller is like 200% markup at least)
I love this game so much!
I fucking love this.
i also started my own carriers only play, but i use the UAF mod, cause they have some good carrier ships
Used them my last series man they are a busted faction lol
@@ThreatX yea lmao, i use only 2 small escort carrier and i destroyed 6 whole pirate patrol fleets at the same time, very fun tho
carrier only run:
the legion(XIV)s you can salvage: allow us to introduce ourselves
I love your starsecter content
Thanks!
Carrier gameplay sounds like vassal swarm gameplay in Europa Universalis 4 lol.
Planet at the beginning is rekked son. :3
Omggggg your back
that's very strechable .. there are battleships and freighters with fighter bays
ship dies(flash bang)
So bad news I did not know they moved an option to turn it off into the settings so its off now but i already recorded a ton 😅
Glad to se u playing starfield
This is not starfield 😂
I really think you should be allowed freighters and tankers so long as you don't use them in battle.
yep that is exactly what we did :)
one i watched this episode, i went on my own carrier run, and then found an astral
I'm thinking of doing Carriers only next run :D
Hahahahhaa yeeeeeees!
You could've started with the Tempest, it's a frigate that has a pair of drone bois.
Though I use them later would of been a bit cheap saying it was really a carrier and using it in the first video XD
While the Tempest is technically a carrier, it's also so much more than that. It's not as OP as it used to be, but it's still a pretty awesome starter frigate.
Really enjoy the idea of this game but there is so much going on that I barely understand what’s happening in battles lol .
Carrier is OP in starsector
24:30 Dude... Look at the bounties.
Neither bounty is SPECIFICALLY targeting the pirates, it's just that the Sindrian dictat and the Persean league are placing bounties on eachother, and since they're both also at war with the pirates, the pirates also fall under both bounties. Bounties aren't placed JUST because of pirates and Luddic path.
