This is insanity. I started by wondering what possessed you to make such a behemoth. I then thanked you for the chapter breakups, skipped around, watched a few hours worth, fell asleep, woke up and you were still going, realised this chapter sounded cool, rewound some, rewound some more... I've now seen most of it I think and just started a full watch through. It's a touch pedantic, it's slow, but you covered EVERYTHING in such depth. Starsector bible mate, good job!
Me: "I've heard good things about this Starsector game, let's look up a bit on the basics before I buy it, shouldn't take more than half an hour or so." Hit Point Inn: "Hold my beer."
aside from some nit-picking - and the fact that this is a 10 hour VOD "guide" ... amazing work. I wanted to nerd out with someone about this game, so this kinda serves that and teaches me a lot of stuff I wanted to know/confirms my ideas about how the game works. Thank you!!
nice work! small comments for the bits i saw (weapon slots and hull mods): 1:55:15 - you said something about the Flux / damage stat on the weapon card indicating its effectiveness against shields, but the stat merely indicates how much flux is generated by the weapon per unit of damage it does 2:01:56 - only certain weapons will pierce shields, like the Tachyon Lance, and even then only for hard flux, and technically this mechanic isn't related to EMP damage 2:24:10 - while Auxiliary Thrusters don't increase max speed, they do also increase your acceleration and deceleration, beyond simply improving turn rate/acceleration. Also, I've never experienced or heard any one else mention your overturning problems, fwiw
1:55:15 - I see. I was under the impression that per 1 point of dmg, it generates 0.9 hard flux on enemy when hitting shields, thus it states the effectiveness against shields, correct? 2:01:56 - Then it practically only arcs through the shield on energy beam weapon types when enemy has high flux? I've seen graviton and tachyon lances do it. Maybe I thought the Ion cannon had a similar effect. 2:24:10 - True, I must have forgot to mention acceleration and deceleration. Regarding the overturning problem, it appears when you are not using Shift to aim the ship towards the mouse pointer and it is more noticeable on frigates. Thanks for the feedback man! I really appreciate this! I am aware that I still have things to learn.
@@HitPointInnGaming A Railgun does 100 points of damage per shot, which, due to its kinetic type will be doubled to 200, prior to other modifiers. However, it generates 90 flux for the firing ship, hence you have 90 Flux / 100 Damage = 0.9. The Flux / damage stat has no relationship to shields; it's purely a measure of the efficiency of the weapon. Ion Beams can arc through shields, Graviton Beams can not. It's specific to the weapon. Ion Cannons can arc, but only on hits to hull/armor. Fair enough re: overturning. I tend to use the turn to cursor setting often. And yeah, no problem! These things will pop up here and there when you make an 11 hour video! It's still impressive work regardless.
Been watching since your Warband guide and I have to say that I love how thorough you are in your guides to these games that have so many different mechanics. One thing I do want to point out though is that the Colossus is okay for a cheap cargo ship early on but once you need to buy another, it's a much better decision to sell your old one and upgrade to an Atlas. An Atlas compared to 2 Colossus ships takes up only 1 ship slot, less supply upkeep, less fuel burned, and more cargo carried. The only drawback to the Atlas is that it's 1 burn speed slower but you can slap on Militarized Subsystems and Augmented Drive Field
This guide has been a Godsend. So helpful... even though I have completely forsaken your preferred Tech strategy and gone full junked out frigate (brawler heavy) fleet wolf pack, low-tech missile heavy, ramming speed, a.i. core thrower awayer, Praise be to Ludd in His name, aloha snackbar jihad (kicks open Tri-Tachyons door) strategy... I love this game.
@@kesegoe9488I'm imagining said break room, themed and everything, with a beautiful view of the heavens (in my mind it's the Floston Paradise ship from 5th Element. Only tackier and with more blue) and then there, off in the distance. Me, Obadiah Vandal; with a puposeful grimace and a terrible determination deep in his crystal blue eyes. At the helm of a Prometheus tanker, overdrive'n and rigged to blow those Ludd damned Moloch pawns, and techno-bastards to Kingdom come. lol what a wonderful meme that would make.
I'm not sure if this was mentioned anywhere, but one thing you don't seem to mention is how fragmentation damage weapons are very flux efficient in their stat. You have to multiply the flux per damage number by 4 when calculating damage towards shields and armor sure, but this makes them function like pseudo-energy weapons for ballistic slots (1.2 flux/dam (on thumpers) is comparable to many blaster type energy weapons that can cause hard flux). This makes them good generalist weapons that can be used for pd or keeping up pressure on both armor and shields.
I have been playing starsector for a while but I always like to visit these types of guides just in case I somehow missed some obvious information, but holy shit, apparently this game can sometime suck with explanations. Had no idea doctrine aggression affected your own fleet. Thanks a lot for your work
Started this video as a complete newbie. I've been flying around the galaxy and listening to this guide while doing shady trades and finishing some small contracts here and there. I can now confidently say that I'm no longer a newbie. Thank you for this in depth guide good sir.
I love the video, it covers everything I wanted to know and in depth. That being said you use the word utilize constantly and you use it to mean use, which it doesn't actually mean :p I know its a small thing but it was like Chinese water torture lol. For the record you use a shovel to dig a hole, you utilize a shovel to brain an intruder. To utilise something is to use it beyond its intended use. Other than that though it was great.
Man this guide is amazing ! I've been playing Starsector for a while now but it's always good to revise the basics sometimes. 10+ hours seems overwhelming for a guide but it's actually very well structured and easy to follow. Great work, thank you for that ! :D
I have been spending the last few days watching this video and seriously THANK YOU!!! like I have been interested in this game but it looked really complicated to get into and your guide has made it so much simpler and easy to understand ^_^
This content is amazing. The speaker is very fluid, extremely knowledgeable about this topic! He is definitely unlocking the tools and knowledge for me to master this game. I love the fact that this is 11 hours, completely in depth and chock-full a very useful information. Love the tip to speed up the playback!
Wait. I'm just seeing this again. 10 hours? Your gonna become a meme! Congrats No wonder the guide wasn't getting over when I was playing it in the background
Ive been playing Starsector for the past few days, came across this guide after learning bits and pieces and booting up a new campaign (now with Nexerlin Mod to flesh out factions and smaller pieces). Simply AMAZING work doing this in one stream. Love your forms of explaining and general vibe, hope the year's been good for you since making this! (Edit: I literally just got up to the 6 Hour Mark after posting and didnt realise you have done this over several days, still major props!)
Had 0 clue what was going on when i played the game blind, lost interest. Found this guide 2 years later, spent few days to watch & play along it. Now I at least know what is going on with the menu & my early game! Great thanks for the guide. Rekindled my interest for Starsector
I went into this video not knowing how to get administrators or commanders, 11hrs later I still don't know where to get administrators or commanders. It's a long video so maybe I just happened to not be paying attention for that part xD Great video, thanks for putting in the work. My suggestion if your intrested in such things, I would cut this video into many videos, it would be great for the channel putting out a video every day or every other day for a few weeks, then u will have many more views cuz each video gets its own view count, then also for people searching specific topics, the aproperate section of the video will pop up in search
Administrators and officer can be found in the communication directory of any colony/space station. The first option in the menu. You can also find them sometimes in derelicts out in the unexplored territories.
That's at least 20 videos in one and I can leave only one Like, not fair. I wish creators of guides for other games followed your example. It's so handy to go back to one video and just use stamps, than browse dozens of guides for different topics. Thank You!
gone watch this later on for the following few days and going to add any extra info people might want to know in the edited comment, thx for the work rev :)
Brother you went hard on this. TYVM for the time and effort, my goodness this helped me understand so many nuances that were confusing the heck out of me.
I wish I had this when I first started the game. Solid guide, just a tad bit long but the timestamps help a lot. Maybe I'll make bite sized mini-guides if I ever get around to it.
Very good guide, thanks! This is what we get for liking our complicated games. If I'm gonna sink 500+ hours into this game, an 11 hour tutorial is reasonable. Better than watching 22 half hour tutorials from different sources like I've done with some other games. Edit: This is complicated AF. What have I gotten myself into?
sheesh 11 hours! I remember watching most of your warband mods guides and now here we are with a guide for one of my most fav games of all time! Hoping to see an emphasis on selling harvested organs and drugs to the local populace with no moral consequences attached
@@HitPointInnGaming The ones I remember are the skill thing I commented about earlier, and saying that the tutorial takes place in Corvus, instead of Galatia. The ones I don't remember the specifics of are related to names, like calling a weapon the wrong name, and some faction related features being actually from nexerelin iirc.
youve made warband guides, and this guide? how have i never found you before thanks for all of this by the way, star sector is a really complicated game that i thought I had the basics down and only needed to learn the more complicated bits, you proved me wrong cause I didnt even know you could vent flux!
Pirate Buffalo or even hegemony Buffalo in general is a nice early to mid game freighter, especially if you are just smuggling and want to smuggle between many different systems and even take on some contracts
Thank you so much for these 4 days recorded of guide, wich explained a lot more of what i was looking for. Saved a lot from getting lost from bounty system, what to do, how to fight, what to get and etc. Next playthrough of Starsetctor is gonna be more relaxing now that i have the basics, thx a lot
Wow... I never thought id watch as much as this as I did.... Very eye opening and has actually made me gain a bit more interest in starsector now. Keep up the great work. Subbed.
Just came her from a 1h guide on a dif channel.. listening to the intro "in-depth guide to starsector" .. let's see what else i can learn.. i tho.. without looking at the length.. it was 30min then i realised.. and now i'm committed xd help me
Just got into the game and when I saw you made a guide on it I was pleasantly surprised, I remember using your guide for M&B Viking Conquest so I knew I was in for an overload of information lmao.
Hardened systems lets your frigates last longer in battles of attrition and fleet engagements. Comes in handy when you start fighting large fleets and stations. Current state of the game(0.95.1a) lets you select any skill you have the requirements for. Speed is great for chasing down enemies that want to fight another day. Integrated Point Defense AI makes all your small ballistic and energy weapons in Point defense negating your opponent's burst damage (in the case of missiles) or reducing or negating it in the case of strike-craft. After all you can't do damage if you're dead.
Hey man, I’ve been wanting to play this game for awhile. Finally downloaded and started thanks to your guide! Followed you on Twitch also… good stuff! Thanks…
Using this guide to learn how to play “properly” because i am stuck (jumped in sort of blind) have lots of debt, many hate me, struggling a lot. Hopefully my new campaign will be less painful hopefully finish it (vanilla) (i will add mods after finishing vanilla)
1:16 "If I'm gonna do a ship to ship discussion, this will gonna take all day" *looks at video length* yeah, thankfully you managed to keep it pretty short.
@@HitPointInnGaming actually, after watching it a couple times and thinking a bit about it, I think that an "in-depth ship analysis" would be pretty neat, specially abstract concepts like "is this ship worth it's DP cost", and "punching above it's weight"
Tip for this game, having unweaponised cargo ships and fuel ships is a great way to lose em, having some tools to help prevent pirates from picking em apart when they try to flee if u get messed up
At 23:10, I'm not sure why you'd deactivate sustained burn, over holding down the S key. I can't say it faster per say, but I prefer not having the delay as I transition back into sustained burn.
I love this *indepth* guide my dude, TY for all the effort you put in, credit where credits due.. but when saying "who TF would want to live on a toxic world?" i had to laugh with embarresment..😅 Who you ask? WH40K Death korps of Krieg fanatics like myself thats who 😋 lol
@@HitPointInnGaming Indeed just dont forget your trunks, towel and standard issue gas mask lol QQ if its not too much hassle buddy, when (if you even will) you drop a video going indepth about the full range of ships, strengths/weaknesses and/or their varients? as thats basically the only thing im left scratching my head at.. i mean its nice having 4 differant varients of Brawler (Elite/Assualt/Com & TT) with 2 differant types of hull (Standard and TT) but its got me stuck on what ones overall the best at what job and what i should and shouldnt be sending what ships/fleets into combat with other varients ects even after using the simulation like a TABS minigame.

You went to a lot of effort here man! As a brand new player, I thank you. I'll be taking this advice on board, a sub well earned
Great job but for extra variety in your next video talk very quickly so we can watch it slowed down
I am not surprised that you didn't cover the redacted content. :P
Unironically watching at x1.25 right now.
@@Derethl2 Donno if it could be comprehended at x1.5. I am aware that I talk in a slow manner, thus suggesting it.

Thank you! I really appreciate it. Hope it helps, my man.
I can't believe someone did a 10 hour guide for anything!
Respect!
Check otzdarva's guides for DBD, imagine 16 hour guide
there is a ten hour long morrowind and 16 hour long oblivion guide by the same youtuner
... even in technology tutorials..
i never seen so long tutorial haha
must be complicated game.

10h Guide… sorry Boss i can’t come to work next week. I need to know this all
I’ll come back knowing how to manage an intergalactic empire, so it’s a good investment!
I am testing the learning while sleeping so far I don't see improvement after first two weeks
This is THE guide for the game, no question. Mad respect dude. Got me to pick it back up after a year hiatus.
Until Alex changes stuff again.
10 hours guide.
The longest one I ever found on all games.
What can I say? I'm a chatterbox
aside from some nit-picking - and the fact that this is a 10 hour VOD "guide" ...
amazing work. I wanted to nerd out with someone about this game, so this kinda serves that and teaches me a lot of stuff I wanted to know/confirms my ideas about how the game works.
Thank you!!
Glad you liked it and found it useful, despite the drawbacks.
dude you are a beast!! starting this video today. i drive long hours for a living so this guide is incredible (:
When you find a longer than normal guide to a underrated game, that's when you know the game is great
nice work! small comments for the bits i saw (weapon slots and hull mods):
1:55:15 - you said something about the Flux / damage stat on the weapon card indicating its effectiveness against shields, but the stat merely indicates how much flux is generated by the weapon per unit of damage it does
2:01:56 - only certain weapons will pierce shields, like the Tachyon Lance, and even then only for hard flux, and technically this mechanic isn't related to EMP damage
2:24:10 - while Auxiliary Thrusters don't increase max speed, they do also increase your acceleration and deceleration, beyond simply improving turn rate/acceleration. Also, I've never experienced or heard any one else mention your overturning problems, fwiw
1:55:15 - I see. I was under the impression that per 1 point of dmg, it generates 0.9 hard flux on enemy when hitting shields, thus it states the effectiveness against shields, correct?
2:01:56 - Then it practically only arcs through the shield on energy beam weapon types when enemy has high flux? I've seen graviton and tachyon lances do it. Maybe I thought the Ion cannon had a similar effect.
2:24:10 - True, I must have forgot to mention acceleration and deceleration. Regarding the overturning problem, it appears when you are not using Shift to aim the ship towards the mouse pointer and it is more noticeable on frigates.
Thanks for the feedback man! I really appreciate this! I am aware that I still have things to learn.
@@HitPointInnGaming A Railgun does 100 points of damage per shot, which, due to its kinetic type will be doubled to 200, prior to other modifiers.

Holy shit Rev , this is beyond amazing . Thank you for your work !
I'ts been a while since I played. I'll just watch a quick video for a refresher.
This is ... fine.
10 hours guide
yes, just what i need, i know i gonna love this game

At 1:23 the combat tip instead of using shift you can make it always on by enabling it in settings
Also, the key to disable All weapons is X
I've got accustomed to having it on Shift. Sometimes I want to turn my other cheek of armor to tank.
@@HitPointInnGaming you can do that with the other control scheme, you just move mouse away
@@loopuleasa or hold down shift to temporarily switch to the old behaviour

What a titanic effort! you just made me buy the game thank you!
Holy shit ten hours
Well done man
Dude, awesome tutorial, thank you very much!
I initially found the game because of Sseth, and after playing it, I now understand why he gave it a 10.
sheesh 11 hours! I remember watching most of your warband mods guides and now here we are with a guide for one of my most fav games of all time! Hoping to see an emphasis on selling harvested organs and drugs to the local populace with no moral consequences attached
All I can say is: yes.
Finally finished watching the guide. There were incorrect minor details, but overall this guide is pretty great, wish I'd discovered it sooner
Just for the sake to better myself, do you remember any incorrect minor details?
@@HitPointInnGaming The ones I remember are the skill thing I commented about earlier, and saying that the tutorial takes place in Corvus, instead of Galatia. The ones I don't remember the specifics of are related to names, like calling a weapon the wrong name, and some faction related features being actually from nexerelin iirc.
youve made warband guides, and this guide? how have i never found you before
thanks for all of this by the way, star sector is a really complicated game that i thought I had the basics down and only needed to learn the more complicated bits, you proved me wrong cause I didnt even know you could vent flux!
Pirate Buffalo or even hegemony Buffalo in general is a nice early to mid game freighter, especially if you are just smuggling and want to smuggle between many different systems and even take on some contracts
Sounds good. I'll try that :D
My guy, you're an absolute machine. Over 10 hours!
Simply. Amazing. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for these 4 days recorded of guide, wich explained a lot more of what i was looking for. Saved a lot from getting lost from bounty system, what to do, how to fight, what to get and etc.
Next playthrough of Starsetctor is gonna be more relaxing now that i have the basics, thx a lot
Great Video! Keep making great content bro. This has made me come back to this gem of a game!
Wow... I never thought id watch as much as this as I did.... Very eye opening and has actually made me gain a bit more interest in starsector now. Keep up the great work. Subbed.
Just came her from a 1h guide on a dif channel..
listening to the intro "in-depth guide to starsector" .. let's see what else i can learn.. i tho.. without looking at the length.. it was 30min then i realised.. and now i'm committed xd
help me
I'm liking and commenting so you get more views, holy shit this is nuts!
Just got into the game and when I saw you made a guide on it I was pleasantly surprised, I remember using your guide for M&B Viking Conquest so I knew I was in for an overload of information lmao.
the hullmod section is probably the most interesting part of the video and one of the most interesting in the game
I'd say the weapons, hullmod and simulator combined will allow you to figure out and theorycraft any ship you desire.
Great video, from the beginning to the end complete gold for a beginner. Thanks alot!
"if we talked about ship by ship, we'd be here all day" as opposed to simply ten hours of it.
Thanks for the guide though! Seriously!
My man, i tip my hat to you, ya manage to make an in depth tutorial video with more length than the entire Oban Star Racers serie.
I gotta watch that show again. Loved it when I was a kid.
>see starsector guide
>click just because i like starsector videos
>realize its so long i can't even sleep through the whole thing
Balanced as all things should be.
Respect for all that work! Good job 👍
Hardened systems lets your frigates last longer in battles of attrition and fleet engagements. Comes in handy when you start fighting large fleets and stations.
Current state of the game(0.95.1a) lets you select any skill you have the requirements for.
Speed is great for chasing down enemies that want to fight another day.
Integrated Point Defense AI makes all your small ballistic and energy weapons in Point defense negating your opponent's burst damage (in the case of missiles) or reducing or negating it in the case of strike-craft.
After all you can't do damage if you're dead.
The first thing I did after the tutorial was survey and settle a planet in the system next to where I started.
Early game late game.
Hey man, I’ve been wanting to play this game for awhile. Finally downloaded and started thanks to your guide! Followed you on Twitch also… good stuff! Thanks…
Using this guide to learn how to play “properly” because i am stuck (jumped in sort of blind) have lots of debt, many hate me, struggling a lot. Hopefully my new campaign will be less painful hopefully finish it (vanilla) (i will add mods after finishing vanilla)
awesome "explain me like im 5 years old". exactly like i like it :)
Exactly!
omfg, a 10 hour guide on a game i really want to get into but i just cant cuz im too stupid?! im watching ALL of it.
1:16 "If I'm gonna do a ship to ship discussion, this will gonna take all day"
*looks at video length* yeah, thankfully you managed to keep it pretty short.
I know, right?! There was much to say and there would still be room for more, but that will be for another day.
@@HitPointInnGaming actually, after watching it a couple times and thinking a bit about it, I think that an "in-depth ship analysis" would be pretty neat, specially abstract concepts like "is this ship worth it's DP cost", and "punching above it's weight"
@@sousuzumi Indeed. It would be cool, but I still need to play with a few more ships before that :D
Really stretching for that ten minute mark huh? Great video and thanks for the timestamps king
I'd just like to point out that the soundtrack for this game is awesome, and that main theme is a real banger. It just works.
This is a work of art.
If by a work of art, you mean a person who babbles on and on about a video game for around 11 hours, then yes. It is.
Very good guide, i like your "style" of relaying information.
Dude this is awesome :) thank you so much. Subbed on twitch right away!
Super helpful video man, thanks for doing this!
11 HOURS? Holy shit man, the dedication!
The games easy guys. Trust me, bro!
Really, really great introduction! You can start planning some update when the game finally releases :D.
Man what a journey! Great work.
Damn great guide, this helped me so much with getting really into the game!
Tip for this game, having unweaponised cargo ships and fuel ships is a great way to lose em, having some tools to help prevent pirates from picking em apart when they try to flee if u get messed up
Thanks for all the hard work
O_o almost 11 hours. You got my like!
At 23:10, I'm not sure why you'd deactivate sustained burn, over holding down the S key. I can't say it faster per say, but I prefer not having the delay as I transition back into sustained burn.
Well, the fastest way to slow down your fleet is to go dark.
Unbelievable. You did it!!! A 11 hour guide! Is this THE longest guide for a game ever made?!?!
I have no idea if it is, but it is something.
@@HitPointInnGaming there is a 16 hour oblivion guide
Can't wait for the nexerellin version that is 20h long
I'm... not looking forward to that.
This in indeed an epic guide. Bravo.
I love this *indepth* guide my dude, TY for all the effort you put in, credit where credits due..
but when saying "who TF would want to live on a toxic world?" i had to laugh with embarresment..😅
Who you ask? WH40K Death korps of Krieg fanatics like myself thats who 😋 lol
Nah man, no worries :D A toxic world sounds like a good vacation spot.
@@HitPointInnGaming Indeed just dont forget your trunks, towel and standard issue gas mask lol
QQ if its not too much hassle buddy, when (if you even will) you drop a video going indepth about the full range of ships, strengths/weaknesses and/or their varients? as thats basically the only thing im left scratching my head at.. i mean its nice having 4 differant varients of Brawler (Elite/Assualt/Com & TT) with 2 differant types of hull (Standard and TT) but its got me stuck on what ones overall the best at what job and what i should and shouldnt be sending what ships/fleets into combat with other varients ects even after using the simulation like a TABS minigame.
I've been playing since 2015, still gunna watch it in the backround while playing starsector xd
Rev, I think it's time for you to partner with Joseph Anderson - you could make 10 hour videos about his 30 hour Witcher critique.
Sign me up!
boosting your stats with this comment. thanks for all of your hard work and dedication!
