OK so before you think you've missed a couple of episodes there was actually a problem with my mike which means you missed the chance to see the rescue of Boba Fett which while successful lead to the loss of Happy with his ATM/LRM carrier.

    12:35 Ah you made the mistake I almost did, The firefly drive due to its IMMENSE power requirements and a reactor with only 99.5% efficiency you end up having about 157 Thousand tons of Radiator (which is most of the weight of your craft) which is why you need so many fuel tanks and the acceleration is so low, it's also why each ship costs 16.5k metals. Probably best to use weaker drives in terms of Exhaust Velocity and Thrust as with a much smaller radiator you'll still get better performance (this info is rather opaque in tha game so no fault to you lol)

    Why aren't you carrying your battle armor on your mechs or in a vehicle?

    • @kithran
      @kithran Год назад

      At the moment my battle armour aren't that tough - they are basic IS infiltrator armour so if they are spotted by the enemy they tend to get shot at in preference to my mechs and its easy to end up with wounded pilots which means you then can't field them next fight if you are doing missions aimed at fighting off raids. In addition to move battle armour you need either omnimechs or to fit handholds - I don't have lots of omni mechs and most of my mechs are on the lighter side so can't easily free up 1/2 ton for handholds. I do have a single apc (which means I'd be able to move a single unit of battle armour) but if I were to bring that it would mean I wouldn't be able to bring the scorpion which is more use at the moment.

On top of our picks we gained a part of salamander battle armour, 2 summoner parts, a sun spider part and a bunch of random modules, ammo and engine cores, The 6 cargo compartments didn't give us any mechs this time but we did get sets of Golem, Elemental and Salamander battle armour which is nice :)

    consider using your BA as more support instead of damage. you can have them hang on your mechs and provide things like: -AMS -ECM -orbital calldown (tanks, turrets, mechs, bombardments, etc) -and a variety of other defensive options They also acted as spaced armor for your mechs. Their offensive capabilities with their OG weapons tail off quickly past about 3 star missions; way more efficient to utilize them as I have mentioned. make more space available for REAL weapons on your mechs themselves. The other thing is they always have the best initiative on your team, and thus allow you to do call-downs before the enemies can even begin to react.

      I don't extract the save game from its compressed format. There's a setting in the game that tells the game to save it in an uncompressed format and its that that I edit. If you have a compressed save you want to edit the best way to avoid the problem you experienced is to load the game then change the setting and save again - this will save it in the the uncompressed format and you can then edit it easily.

    A few notes: there seem to be a variety of viable strategies for arming and armoring ships. Here's what worked for me: Battleships and dreadnoughts seem to be the most efficient ships for combat capability. 2 slot coilguns are quite effective, but the capability of laser and plasma cannons scales better to the 3 and 4 slots. Everything is less effective in the form of batteries as compared to cannons, but laser batteries have the advantage of being able to work as point defense for a large area at any angle and plasma batteries are harder long-range damage than lasers can achieve against ships. As the game progresses, coilguns fall away in relevance as the ability for small formations of ships to deal substantial damage to armored targets becomes less important as volume of fire increases and pushing out maximum effective range and overlapping PD become the priorities. When designing against stations, armor penetration is not needed, so lasers are viable at long range and laser cannons become the ideal choice. There are also some notes to be made on propulsion. Past the 300 km/s mark, one may want to look as much at cruise acceleration as Delta-v to indicate how fast a ship will travel around the system as ships with low acceleration may simply not have time to use half that Delta-v before they need to start braking. Don't underestimate the value of the z-boron drive's thrust even when the Firefly torch is showing you far superior Delta-v. Use the transfer planner to see what how different balances of thrust and Delta-v perform for different journeys. If you can resupply at the destination (either already having infrastructure or being able to build it with a platform kit), really no mission besides ferrying councilors around that will substantially benefit from Delta-v budgets over 2,500 km/s even in the Kuiper belt. Part of the equation for true combat capability is whether you can out-accelerate opponents and face them with your whole force rather than split it to perform the pincer and the lower acceleration you have compared to your opponent, even if you have more Delta-v, the less they'll have to spend to disengage and force you to re-attempt the intercept (that can get extremely tedious if you're only chipping 30 km/s off a reserve of 300+ with each attempt). 4G accelerations with little compromise on weapons and armor really become practical for battleships when you have antimatter spikers for z-boron drives. Once you have enough antimatter for plasma core drives and propulsion, you can fly anything of any size anywhere in the solar system and have 4g combat acceleration. While beam core's performance blows past everything, plasma core's antimatter demands are sustainable even for a large fleet.

    • @kithran
      @kithran 2 года назад

      Good information here. One thing I would consider slightly disagreeing with you over though is for a use for Delta-v over 2500 km/s - the use case for the greater DV is when you have a raiding force aimed at taking out alien mines but is still strong enough to take out alien forces if they try an intercept. I like to hit 2 or 3 mines before I have to think about either returning to a base to refuel or sitting while waiting for a platform to build and be upgraded. The other thing not mentioned is the importance of making sure all the ships in the fleet have the same designation so you do have your ships starting together and able to provide that interlocking PD that is so important. The best formations (in my opinion) are short wall (if you have 4-6 ships), high wall (if you have 7-9 ships) and great wall (if you have 25 or so ships and will actually have all of them on field at the same time). This formation will give you a rectangle or square of your ships allowing the PD to overlap in three dimensions rather than two.

      Are you talking about the shields to a specific direction or all direction buttons? If so yes I've seen them reappear however they seem to stop coming back after you've taken them off two or three more times

    Looks like you need a few more admiralty ship cards. There are ways to get them. 1) First, there's the free USS Sally Ride. It's a VERY good card to have. You'll find the Sally Ride in sector space, just outside the Narendra System (due east of New Romulus, at the edge of the Beta sector). Fly up to the ship, it will hail you, and you get the card. 2) The Phoenix Prize Packs contain four ship cards. Each of them cost a very rare token. The best is the VSS Tanius, which can complete a majority of the admiralty missions on its own. The Assimilated Assault Cruiser and ISS Stadi are also good. The fourth, a replica of the Phoenix, is sometimes useful. 3) There are mirror universe ships for sale on the exchange. These ships come from lock boxes, but they aren't in high demand. They are tier 5, and equivalent to the free ships you get when your captain reaches level 40. And like the free ships, they cannot be upgraded. So no one flies them. Right now you can get a mirror escort for about 2.5 million EC. The science ships have a higher demand (because other players also want the admiralty cards), so the price can be 5 million EC or so. After you get the admiralty card then you can discard the ship if you wish. Just make SURE you get the card first. Sometimes it takes a map transfer or two before the card shows up. 4) You can buy tier 1 thru 4 ships for dilithium. There are two types of ships on sale. One type consist of the free ships you could choose from as you leveled up, and the other is the old c-store tier 1 to 4 ships. Those old c-store ships used to be purchased for zen, but Cryptic changed them to dilithium purchases a year or two ago. The free ships cost much less than the old c-store ships. For instance, the free tier 4 Intrepid cost 10k dilithium. This will be less if you are in a fleet that has unlocked a dilithium discount. Lower tier ships will have a lower cost. Again, you can discard the ship if you don't want to keep it. Just be sure you've received the card first.

      Yup I know I need more admiralty cards but the video was already up to 30 minutes long so didn't want to make it longer. I've already got one more ship from the future war storyline. I may do a video on phoenix prize packs as they are something a newbie may well be curious about early on given it costs 40k dilithium for a 10 pack of them.

    I need to correct something you stated. Both dual cannons and dual heavy cannons have a 45 degree arc. [There are a special few with wider arcs, but I'll ignore those for now]. The difference between DCs and DHCs is small. 'Which is better' has been debated since the closed alpha. The big difference is in the number of shots they fire. In this game, firing cycles are 5 seconds long. During the cycle, DCs will fire more shots than DHCs, but DHC shots individually do more damage. So the dps is the same, at least in principle. There are hard-to-quantify things, like a target moving out of the firing arc during a cycle. There are slight differences in how this affects weapon power drain and recharge. There are a few damage boosts which have a chance to activate per shot, so those favor DCs. But DHCs get a bonus to damage on critical hits. All these things give small differences. But they really are small differences. So unless you're doing high-level min-maxing, DCs and DHCs are largely interchangeable. [NOTE: critical hits are not the same things as the special proc a weapon gets. A phaser, for instance, has a 2.5% chance to take one of the target's four power systems offline. But that isn't a critical hit. Critical hits are a separate mechanic. Critical hits are hits that do more damage, and it works the same for your plasma beam as it does for your phaser. Boosting critical hit chance, and critical damage severity, are major ways of increasing your dps). Single cannon (as most players call "cannon") are the rarely used ones. It comes down to tactical bridge officer seating. Cannon bridge officer abilities start at lieutenant, while beam abilities start at ensign. Ships with enough high level tactical boff seating to make good use of cannon can usually mount dual cannons. They also have the maneuverability to keep the dual cannons on target. So single cannon have little point. There was a niche for them a long time ago, on ships like the Excelsior, with a Lt Commander tac boff but no ability to mount DCs. Some players wanted concentrated forward firepower. Using single cannons with turrets in the rear gave a bit more than they could get with beams. That's because rear-mounted beams couldn't fire forwards, like turrets can. But the introduction of omnidirectional beam arrays closed that niche. Now, for torpedoes. In simple terms, shields have a 75% resistance to kinetic damage, which is the type of damage most torpedoes do. So it takes 4 points of torpedo damage to knock 1 point off an enemy's shields. In general, torpedoes don't do much for you until the target's shield is down. So I wouldn't recommend carrying more than one. There are exceptions for high-end players. Actually, the meta for damage is ships using all torpedoes and mines. But those players have a lot of things that help them penetrate shields. And things which add special attacks to their torpedoes, atacks whose damage ignores shields. Science ship drivers also love attacks which go right through shields. They use special torpedoes which open gravity wells, leave burning plasma clouds, or hit the target with radiation or dark matter. Don't worry if you don't understand all that yet. Understanding will come in time. For now, just concentrate on using energy weapons.

      Ah had missed the dual cannons and duel heavy cannons having the same firing arc (or the one I looked at might have been one with an increased arc). I've seen some stuff on which is better between dual and dual heavy but hadn't paid much attention as at the moment my lvl 65 character is running a phaser beam array build with beam overload. I'm planning on trying cannons properly when I create a new character on Tuesday to take advantage of the temporal operative event (and will be doing a video on it on Sunday)

      @@kithran Good to know you're doing a Temporal Agent. Cryptic throws rewards at you during one of these recruit events, so equipment and reputation marks won't be a problem. And having a recruit gives you account-wide unlocks. The best one is a change to reputation gear. Instead of crafting Mk XII very-rare, you get the ability to craft Mk XIII ultra-rare. Now, it appears you purchased the Temporal Agent starter pack. This gives you another advantage as you level up. The phasers that the tier 1 Constitution class come with are auto-leveling. As you level up, they go up with you, up to level 12. And since you have the Constitution as an account-wide unlock, you can dismiss it and reclaim it as many times as you want. Each time you reclaim it, you get another pair of phasers. This makes equipping a ship very easy. A lot of old-timer players do that. They just aren't the cannon that you were thinking of using. But beams tend to be better on lower tier ships. It's that problem of cannon boff abilities starting at lieutenant, where beams start at ensign. Lower tier ships just don't have the tactical boff seating for good use of cannon.
