I am generally impressed you learned how to control your own ship effectively, ive been playing starsector for probably more than a thousand hours so far with generally always a massive ammount of succes and i never drove my own Capital ship, id just let it go on autopilot and do commads when shit isnt going well, because the ai is rather good as is, at times.
pressing shift is like a cheat code , it alligns the ship's nose to your cursor so you only need to adjust the range to stay effective in fights , its quite fun you can try a safety overrides build and pilot it manually to great succes
@@ghostbirdlary that might be because the AI is trying to avoid being split off from the rest of the fleet. You need give it an attack order and don't use a cautious officer in a capitol ship unless it's for long ranged attacks only.
Just a heads-up. You could have picked up that battlecruiser at the 3:00 mark and then mothballed it, that way it wouldn't consume your crew stores. Then you could fly it back and deposit it at a friendly station. I do that all the time in the earlygame.

I've got well over a thousand hours into this game, and I only in the last 50 or so realize that when you invade a planet and do not take it over, you have to buy a storage slot in order to see the things that you have liberated from the previous owners. When viewing the planet that's now controlled by your faction, get a storage thing and you'll find usually thousands of resource units sitting there that were rightfully liberated by you.
You do such a good job with this game. Like I LOVE Starsector but tons of other people are boring when they play this. You make great, personable, entertaining Starsector content 🥰
Hey rarr its me again glad to see you are streaming some of that sweet sweet space colony sci-fi games... Speaking of that reminds me of RimWorld and how much fun a Cassandra Classic Experience Video would be to record and let us watch... Nonetheless love the content and have a good one.
@@alexandrewilson2208 All the missiles you can is what i recommend, the ship has a hullmod that slowly refills all missile ammunition. If you're having trouble finding it, there is also another one of a kind ship called the Halbmond (or something along those lines) that will give you blueprints and the location of the traumtanzer, it normally spawns in black hole systems, you just need to baby it in your fleet until all the blueprints are unlocked from it. remember to not salvage either f them, because sometimes you will have to use a sp to get them
By the way, salvage efficiency does not affect the drop rate of rare items (blueprints, AI cores, nanoforges and other colony items) so it's safe to salvage them early game... as long as you have the cargo to carry the rare items of course.
Btw, you don't need to crew or supplies to salvage a ship. Simply mothball it and the only thing it will use up is fuel during hyperspace travel. It will only use supplies and crew if you decide to fix it up locally.
@@matiasether8695 yes you generally get it at the end of a quest from Tahalan ship works. But here he was lucky enough to find it. You find a ship halmond or something like that in a black hole and it gives you blueprints as you keep using it, ending with this ship.
If you find ships you want but don't have enough manpower to operate you can still take them with you. You just need to mothball them after you recover them, it'll cost a bit more fuel/supplies per day but not a lot.
I haven't even watched the video yet Rarr and i am just subscribing to you now, but your a funny man and i have enjoyed all your content i have watched Thus far. Look forward to more content! You rock.

If you use Augmented drive fields on this bad boy, you become almost invincible. Nothing that can actually break your shield is fast enough to catch you. So just sell all your other ships, maybe buy another Aphelion (or two) and you can just freely stroll about the galaxy exploring things. If you sign on with a faction they will pay you. So just explore explore explore and before you know it you'll be sitting on a million credits with a cargo full of ai cores and nanoforges. THEN ditch your faction and settle a planet. Go direct into heavy industry and start printing a fleet. This ship is really perfect as long as you juice it up a bit... just don't use safety override :) I put heavy blasters on it and was able to tear apart remnants with it, even the big ones.

I love the Iron Shell, nice ships and portraits. But man do they love declaring war on me because I keep forgetting to pay taxes. Out of curiosity would like to see you try the UAF mod, sure all the portraits are all anime but they do have some very cool looking ships and weapons. I love have nukes missiles and bombers.
In one playthrough I was playing the Machina Void Shipyards faction from the mod of the same name, and the Hegemony and Iron Shell declared war on us for some reason. (Yes, attack the people who's sole mission is to eradicate piracy. Thank you greater hegemony, very cool) Anyway, I slipped into their sector, preparing for an invasion. We'd conquered most of the Iron Shell worlds, and all of the Hegemony ones. Still, I decided to talk to the leader and say I wanted to pay my taxes, and I got a fucking tax refund of over 200,000 credits. This was like, *riiiight* after destroying a really powerful base fortress of theirs and with my marines already deployed. Fucking love this mod, 10/10, will be my next playthrough, long live the MVS though. Also get the arma armatura extension mods for the MVS and vanilla ships, very fun to pilot a fighter
nice video! i love starsector, next time you can try a shield shunt onslaught, it's a lot of dakka and fun with a recless officer it really kick ass even when outnumbered or taken from the back by smaller ships
This video literally inspired me to pay my outrageous property bill just now. $4.5K to the state because I stopped renting and purchased. Ouch. Still tho, better than being roasted by the actual IRS battleships.
I'm still terrible at this game as due to both laziness and inability to fight i constantly try to make a carrier group involving Wanzers so they can die for me. Now what is hilarious is that at one point because i was tired of getting no support from the Diable Shipyards i made my fleet (with what little cash i had....im still terrible) i made every ship in my whopping 4 ship fleet all have improved efficiency modules and a converted fighter bay for my combat fueler. This had made me surprisingly great at supporting larger fleets at great distances with much juicy salvage to speak and even though my Wanzers weren't exactly enough at least i didnt have to pay for more crew as i had an excess at this point. Of course like all my other playthroughs i would die broke and broken in a hostile galaxy. Good times.
