I mean that a nice tips but i would'n say your a pro to know basic stuff like that. ^^ I understand the tip with the attacker and the looter ship cause i do it my self but why the heck your ships must be that ugly like what? XDD How can you play a Game that give you that many tools for symmetrical building and just build Minecraft houses?? XD
Pro tip, you can attack and loot friendly ships with attack command, you get wanted level like in GTA, but it disappears after a time. Meaning at the start of the game, just destroy bases control room and bail, come back and take over. Wola, you now have a whole base full with resources.
What happens when youre in a wanted state? Like will they swarm you? Im planning to use this to hijack a ship for storing stuff but im afraid that if i do this i wont be able to buy ammo anymore. Ps.im still at risk 3-4 and short on resources to build Factor hence the hijacking
A tip for the PRO tipper, if you do "abandon ship" instead for transferring the crew back. The crew will join the nearest ship, and the remaining airlock and crew quarters will be considered derelict, and can be scavenged normally.
I just started playing cosmoteer and your videos have been so helpful for smoothing out the initial learning curve. If you’re up for challenging requests, it would be really great to watch you complete the first galaxy of a new game, especially if you could talk through what you’re doing and why.
A pro tip missed: if you group utilities and you have more than one ship selected, calling a group will call all ship's corresponding group. This can be used at your advantage, but only if you have the habit of giving the same group number to the same utility across all ships. For example, if i want to power down all sensor of my fleet with two clicks, I just have to dedicate group 5 to the sensor on all ships, than with all ships selected call 5 and all the sensors are ready to be powered down. I usually keep weapons and shields on 1 so I can roleplay the "shields up, power to phaser banks" for all of my ships without having to manually scroll through each single one.
In the case I showed yes, but when looting an entire station or the very late game ships no. I think the fastest would be to only have your crew pick up the rare stuff and use the large storages to pick up all the metal while your crew is working instead of pausing.
I appreciate the hint with the build of adjacent scrap but just pressing G and let my crew scrap everything is just easier. BUT you gave a friend of mine a good tip by reminding us that there is actually a diagonal mirror mode because he wants to play with a diagonal ship.
for the last piece of the ship, if u instead of transfer crew you click abadom the shipo the crew willbe back aswell but u can pick it it as a normal resource. :D
TIL that you can CTRL-click tractor beams and have them individually target parts of a ship, and also switch them from 'maintain distance' to 'push' or 'pull' On a test ship with an array of four of them, I was able to spin an enemy to get to the juicy hindquarters and just blitz out the bridge, virtually without damaging the rest of the target... But they *eat* power.
So i have yet to understand why people think its best to build ships they want off of one of there current ships and separate them using the demo charge. My friend does the same thing, but you can just use the "build new ship" button and so long as you have the resources in a ship near by or in the space around you, you can build that ship where ever you want. Plus you dont need to spend the resource needed to build the demo chage in the first place making it just a tad bit cheeper too.
Wow I didn't know that you could just make another ship from existing one, I am always looking for abandoned ships or from defeating enemy ships. And I am always having trouble of exploration since I'm always going for big ships. It seems all I need is just a spy ship.
1:50 Ok, the tip to repair whole ships might be super useful. Basically you can either make a docking bay that generates smaller shipps as you like. Or you can go full carrier and fly your behemoth to the enemy just to engage the swarm. Only problem would be crew members if you throw them away.

Thanks for the great content, it helped a lot. Any change of getting the ship pack on a google drive link or something because the workshop thing isn't working for me.
None yet, but I suggest using point defense or having small pieces of armor out on structures to make them blow up further from your ship. Kinda like the RPG cage you see on a lot or IRL fighting vehicles.
@@jdshl8423 That's not the same as a missile cage. A missile cage looks like some makeshift grates held a foot away from the vehicle. Reactive armor is the brick looking things.
@@thatonekmc , oh. Yeah, I guess what I've been doing is a missile cage then. Layers of 2x1 armour connected by just 1 block of structure. Falls apart like debris all around the ship and has a chance of catching more missile hits. It's a good tactic, and keeps weight lowered overall as well.
@@thatonekmc Oh sorry, I went about it the wrong way.. I needed to go into the crew management settings and load roles from a ship, and then load your role ship's file.
Pretty sure you lose resources on the refunds, but eh, you are the pro. Who am I to say. 😅 Unless, you are saying that the player should use the opportunity to build actual useful parts of the ship, which is an okay advice. But it seems like you think that's some kind of a cheat/exploit that they are going to fix. They don't need to fix it, cuz there is still the refund mechanic in play. Edit: I don't know anymore. For me at least, I'm pretty sure there is. Probably a difficulty setting thing?
Why would you want to create new scout with repair button and use explosive every time to detach it? You can just load the ship from library in like 5 seconds, but you don't waste money and have ability to repair just your actual ship, lol.

Economy over design
Maybe the dude likes them?
Building aerodynamic ships in space is pointless though 😃
to be fair, he isn't making cabal ships

@@bbear0_o 1 or 2 ships will come after you that is the max threat level in the system.
@@bbear0_o you will also lose rep, lower the rep the more expensive stuff is

today I learned that you can change brush types :D
Recently started played with some friends and your videos really came in handy, keep it up man! looking forward to see your ''meme'' ships

I have started a walkthrough on my channel, is that what you mean?
@@thatonekmc Yeah! It showed as viewed for me but I hadn't actually seen it yet. Thanks man. That's super helpful and I look forward to seeing more.
These are some pro tips for sure, nice one my dude

I just found your videos, they are so helpfull. now I need to apply them to my playthrough.
Very useful, specially the ship cloning tip! thank you. I wonder walter will want to patch this as well, to make building ships a bit more special
Just bought this game this morning, thanks for the help!
Hamburguer button? Laugh so hard in this! Keep the good work, dude! Nice videos!
Pretty good tips in there. I learned a few things. Thx!
6:00 It's a lot easier to just set the time to 8x
to pick up material
In the case I showed yes, but when looting an entire station or the very late game ships no. I think the fastest would be to only have your crew pick up the rare stuff and use the large storages to pick up all the metal while your crew is working instead of pausing.
Sometimes 8x is too slow, and sometimes you just play multiplayer.
please make some design videos on what modules work well together and some armor tips and corridor tips
great build-to-pick up trick, ty
Excellent video! Ty
Thank you for this video. Its a fun game and has so much more to it.
6:30 its probably faster to send out out crew and put time on 8x. Mby if you play multiplayer and your mate is in battle this is usefull.
I appreciate the hint with the build of adjacent scrap but just pressing G and let my crew scrap everything is just easier.
BUT you gave a friend of mine a good tip by reminding us that there is actually a diagonal mirror mode because he wants to play with a diagonal ship.
Thank You. Most of them are very usefull.
The spy ship is the best.
Nice!
for the last piece of the ship, if u instead of transfer crew you click abadom the shipo the crew willbe back aswell but u can pick it it as a normal resource. :D

But they *eat* power.
If they are sitting next to a large reactor they only need two crew to keep full on power.
nice video

The game used to not have the new ship button in career
@@thatonekmc aaa, thanks for explaining that. Figured it would have been in sense the begining as custom ships is a core feature in the game
awesome -..
Nice

Do you happen to know how much weight each engine can effectively accelerate, and how engines/weight effect top speed?
I legit think your "building" trick is slower then flying over it, clicking 8x, and letting me crew gather it all? at least to my stop watch
In the case I showed yes, but when looting an entire station or the very late game ships no. I think the fastest would be to only have your crew pick up the rare stuff and use the large storages to pick up all the metal while your crew is working instead of pausing.
OH Thank you! I've been going crazy having to re-create the crew role-assignments for every ship I make! Now I know how to copy-paste-save-default! 😇
I tried using your crew roles ship but it didn't copy any of the roles for me :/ maybe go over them in a future vid?

@@thatonekmc Thank you!!
My ships list. Concept, Prototype, fighter, corvette, destroyer,frigate, crusier, heavy crusier, battleship,dreadnaught, titan ^^
great video! Is it possible to make a spinning ship? (eg. 4-way with railguns, where it rotates as it travels)
This was a very popular strategy in cosmoteer classic, so most likely: yes.
Yes it is, they are called rail spinners. You often see them with two rails too.
thx for the roles!!!!
When I load the ship from the workshop the whole crew is redshirts. Is there a trick?
Can make a ship via a top of screen menu now
can you share the mining ship?
Comment for the algorithm.
Thanks
What's the benefit of blowing a ship off the side of your main ship Vs just creating a separate ship?
Any tips on how to increase Fame and credits before going to the next system map after the first one?
Complete all the high level missions, they can increase your fame by more.
Why use the explosive charge? Why not just make a new blueprint and paste a ship in there?
That used to not exist in career mode. Now the charge makes no sense
Any chance of including your warehouse ship in your pack?? :)
Yeah I'll add it, I was reluctant to because it isn't perfect.
Any vids on how to best deal with disruptor missiles?
None yet, but I suggest using point defense or having small pieces of armor out on structures to make them blow up further from your ship. Kinda like the RPG cage you see on a lot or IRL fighting vehicles.

on 1:39 with the explosive charge how to make that i tried it and i cant say that it explod nothing is happning
Place the charge, click on it and click the explode button, you may need to unpause.
Tried loading your role ship into my game and it didn't give me any role templates.
Does it not show crew roles when you look in the Crew Bus ship's crew management?
@@thatonekmc Oh sorry, I went about it the wrong way.. I needed to go into the crew management settings and load roles from a ship, and then load your role ship's file.
I suggest going into the role ship and then setting roles as default, that way you won't have to load roles every time.
I mean, i get it. It is effective...
But why is everyone building butt ugly flying shoe boxes?
pro tip play the tutorial ^^)
I haven't seen any tutorial
In the menu I mean
On the ground? Lol

Yes you do lose to refunds. That's why I had to hold Ctrl when deleting.
The constant thumping sound really sucks

This was before they added that ability
It is totally abusing the game))
Pro tip: a game that needs youtube videos is a bad game. Just tried the (current) demo, and the UI is *bad.* Really bad. Hints/tips are useless.
not pro tips.
