Okay Shack, time to redo your Ship Designs! You've tested them and found their shortcomings. The Cardassians use Disruptors, which wreck shields, which you rely on. *TRADE SHIELDS FOR ARMOR.* We have also found that torpedoes are great against Cardassian ships at long range. But they lack in close quarters which are inevitable in large engagements. *VARY YOUR WEAPONS.*
Overhaul your design as per your enemy, then you will suffer less losses.
Hey guys! We are streaming Star Trek Online later today so feel free to join in. We are celebrating Star Trek's 50th anniversary. So come on in and Join the fun. discord.gg/d3PnN6c Have a fantastic Day!
Hi shack
Do something for 9/11
LOVE UR CHANNEL!!!!
shack you take sooooo long to upload this! isn't there a way to make these faster?(i know making videos is hard) or like 20 min episodes but more uploads perhaps?
Nice!
If you're going to make a new game some mods, Doomday weapons, part of the Improved Space Battles Mod, the Star Wars the Old Republic photo gallery for you empire, and Mecha Armies, because Mobile Infantry (Starship Troopers), Colonial Marines (Aliesn) Space Marines (Warhammer 40K) and Titans (giant mech) for land battles and immersion, and the Alliance (Mass Effect) ship designs.
I doubt there will be that many mods, if you looked at the vote, a lot of people picked "Update 1.3 screw mods" instead of just "Update 1.3 with mods"
The reason the Science Ship died was because you didn't set its fleet stance to "Evasive'". -_-
Could you please, go look and pay attention to the diplomacy every episode. You are really missing out. You need to make more labs. CHANGE THE FIRST CONTACT PROTOCOL.
If you make a new campaign, I suggest you add some Star Wars and Star Trek mods and have them hopefully fight each other!
At this point in the campaign no wonder you are struggling in that puny war.1: All those uncolonized worlds in your border could form a sector racking up major ressources. 2: Out of a possible 96 fleet cap you are barely using 30, a third of what you could have in millitary might mostly caused by lack of resources to build ships (refer to point 1). 3: You insist on building ships in 1 spaceport instead of upgrading all of your core worlds with state of the art ports. By doing so instead of making 5 destroyers in 1 port taking ages you could have 5 in production at the same time and have a constant stream of 5 ships every tick. Put a rally on your fleet and they will automatically travel to it to and reinforce!
if this campaign is ending soon i recommend that get as many videos out as possible that and i really really REALLY!!!! like this Campaign
Me too man, I was crushed by how many wanted a new campaign. Less so now though, being it will be awhile before update.
no shit what wroung with people
+Taylor Burleson exactly what I thought.
Same here! I feel like I had no say in the matter what so ever. How could so many people care so little about a series that has been going on so long? If it wasn't for the space engineers season 2, I would unsubscribe. I don't think I'll watch the new series though.
i would not go that far but yeah it sucks
That's why I upgrade my civilian and transport ships every so often.
Sad news from the Karathor system.
We have recently received transmission from the Fleet high command that one of our science ships has been lost. The ship in question is Nomad.
The tragedy happened in the Karathor system and Nomad's commander was science officer known as Mac.
The exact reason behind this tragedy is currently subject of investigation, but the preliminary report indicates that ship sensors malfunctioned and thus ship got in contact with hostile vessels, they were not expecting.
XPGNN out.
Karathor system must renamed as Mac's system!
indeed
Sgt. Kolat of the 190th helljumper log: battle of Qeni Quuerm day 44 its been a week now scents the fleet had to withdraw most of are platoon is ether KIA or MIA hard to believe a week ago we were sit around a destroy bunker laughing how easy the battle had been now with are fleet gone and are army scattered we have been force into hit in run tactics. I look at my quad we jump in with 11 humans 3 jehutmas and 1 drull now it half that many Qumar is now the only jehutma left now as pvt qel and pvt Quitt were both kill 4 days ago from fire from space are drull has become are best hope he a super good markman one of the pvt nicknamed him bulleye to bad that pvt died last night from enemy fire all I can hope for is are fleet to return soon and that all 7 of us will still be here Sgt Kolat out.
Nice
thanks
pretty bad tbh lmao
I would also say have a raider fleet to go around and take out their wormhole stations. If the cardies can't jump their fleets will be pinned down.
imo I believe the fleet u destroyed was their main fleet which leaves little resistance so I say u head str8 to their home world and go 4 the jugular and take them out b4 they can rebuild another fleet otherwise u risk losing more ships costing u more money 2 rebuild and prolonging the war..end the conflict now while u can..
*At the time of writing this comment I had not finished the video*
Wouldn't it be crazy if Shack won the war with the Cardassians, but then the Foundation took all that territory and started a war with the Humans? They'd be like: "You've served your purpose you ape-like fools!" Unlikely, but just a thought I had.
Sgt. Kolat of the 190th helljumper log: battle of Qeni Quuerm day 72 my 7 men squad was ordered to take out a bunker are boys in the sky missed some how but on are way there we heard over the com's that a djunn squad had been cut off from there unit and wouldn't last long if help didn't come I made the choice to save the squad over the bunker we could destroy it another day if only I know then that the confederacy would reinforce it I might have not gone and saved the djunn. after we saved the squad we attack the bunker the confederacy reinforcements were to much for use Pvt. Bulleye are drull shapeshooter was hit by a shell and badly wounded and Pvt. Perss was shoot in the leg then and could not run I thought we were all going to dead then 3 rockets came out of no were and destroyed the bunker. turn out the squad of djunn we save earlier came back to return the favor. I look at whats left of my squad I drop in with 14 ODST there only me Cpl. jimmy Pvt sora Pvt. stone and are last jehutma Pfc. Qumar we got order that tomorrow we attack a target code named the rock. we were told once we take the rock we go home all of us.
Shack, I'm no expert on this game by any means, but the way I see it you are currently wasting your energy income, because as you've noticed, you've reached the current max amount of energy generation.
You've also said that you wanted to keep the trade with the Asari going, so maybe you could just do an instant transfer of energy in return for Star Charts or some other compensation that might help you? That way you should get a better standing with the Asari and make use of the vast energy stockpile you've accumulated, as right now it is being wasted as far as I understand it.
Hope what I said made sense within the gameplay, but whether it did or didn't, I'm really enjoying the campaign and am always happy to see more of it.
You have to keep on constantly building ships to build up your fleet... dont stop at like 40 ships. You have a 98 fleet cap.
Place your bets now! What Crisis will Shack encounter/trigger in this campaign? AI Rebellion? The Unbidden? Or Prethoryn Scourge?
all of them :D
Can't you only activate one Crisis Event without mods?
those yellow beams are Disruptors, shield killers, so they're knocking out your shields before you get in range of their lasers, which cut your hull >.
We might need to build our own Maginot Line in the west, in order to defend our borders from two large hostile nations. Since clearly we are not going to be able to expand much that way and tensions with the Birnathi are only going to increase.
Use the Warhammer 40K mod. Become the Imperium of Man. SUFFER NOT THE XENOS TO LIVE!
reporting for duty captain
Weapon system upgrades!
Why can't we just keep both campaigns?
My thoughts exactly. Or just this one.
Simply because the old one would lose 80-90% of its views and would still be a lot of work
This campaign was a thank you to the patreon supporters so it makes since they would vote which way to go with it. Either way I will still watch as he does a very good job of making it very entertaining.
why not play has something other then just humans?
Because we wated to play as us.
Shack, can you use the Stellar Flow mod for your next campaign? It kills the early game setup/grind for minerals, without it you will spend your first few episodes doing boring stuff.
Get the Flagship mod Shack.
An Empire is mine Shack, you're the Federation! :P Least on my channel...
It's good to know that some planets have wildlife blockers, but some have the icons of wildlife blockers but are actually titan life. And colonizing that planets unlocks a action-tree or something like that and it allows you to recruit titan soldiers on that planet (and yes, they can leave and assault other planets).
Just hover the mouse over these icons to see what they are, if it's wildlife, it's gonna say "Wildlife", if it's titan life, it's gonna say "titan life".
If you would design a t-shirt with the slogan: "Join now! Service
guarantees citizenship!" with a nice logo, I would buy it, if you ship
to germany. ^^
Great show! Thanks!
I think it's cause they have some form of long range laser weapon damage Shack, that's why your losing. Your torpedoes have travel time, their lasers don't. If you destroy their ships, then highlight the wreckage, you can see what kind of stuff you would be getting, then can base your weapon upgrades based on that. I would research red lasers, it's quick and you could replace the railguns with those. Thats just my opinion though.
I'd honestly love to see like a warhammer 30k and 40k mod for this game, embarkation of the great crusade, the ensuing Horus Heresy and the slow spiral to the dark Gothic 40k.
Never been so early. #Nocares
Now I know what the fans of Firefly feel like, except 90% of Firefly's fans didn't vote for the show to be canceled. And the worst part is that their's nothing I can do about it :(
you never realize just how easy a mod makes things till you try to go without it...
I installed a mod that modified the energy outputs of Suns, Stars and Gas Giants. 4-8 instead of the standard 1-3. used that mod with my synthetic's game and putting mining stations over stars handled my energy needs handy.
Actually on your comment , I think it might be more interesting for the Land based armies to maybe be more of an RTS ala Dawn of War where each commander leads a series of RTS battles while the Galactic stuff happens
We must breed the space ameobas to use TO CRUSH THE CARDASSIANS. -Random Citizen
Uggg I want to pull my hair out sometimes.... why would you fill a medium support slot with a lvl 1 fusion reactor when you could have put a lvl 3 fusion reactor and removed those 2 lvl reactors in the small slots and used some armor there instead?
First
Shack you NEED to put something besides torps on your destroyers. torps are great at distance but suck in close combat. I suggest u use the 2 small 1 medium on the front end. put a rail gun in the medium slot and autocanon's in the 2 small slots. the autocannon's have better range than what is posted.
Don't risk ill will with the Asari by flying your fleets through it -- show them that the Alliance is respectful toward their friends and loyal to their allies. Hit the Cardassians head on from the Foundation front lines in a unified offensive!
The Flagella breeding programs could very well benefit the alliances bio weapons divisions, I say yes.
Torpedoes are great and all, but It's not a good idea (as you've seen) to have only Torpedoes. Weapon Diversity is Key for Missile Boats!
The flagella are stronger missiles, so I vote for them. I think attacking from the rear will be better for you as there will be fewer defences and you will be able to knock out their wormhole generators. It will also allow you to cripple their economy and reduce the amount of ships they can produce.
Well, it's a good thing you get to start over, right? To me, captain, it looks like you are getting sloppier and sloppier in this campaign as you get distracted with other things and spend less time working on this series.
Another science ship bites the dust.
The Sins of the Prophits: Stellaris mod has some ship art that would be appropriate for your empire in your next playthrough.
Crush the front, consolidate, and start wheeling and dealing to make allies.
They should make it possible to launch boarding parties from transports to take over space stations and mining
Everyone knows that Fascist Galactic Empire always work well. ALWAYS
Look at the Imperium of Mankind. Those Fuckers are still around after 10 Millennias. And don't forget, Palpatines Empire "just" oppressed the aliens, the Imperium wipes them out if possible.
I am not so sure about that. Doesn't seems to work really well on Stellaris, or at least it didn't in "old" Stellaris versions.
AND, you will ALWAYS, have to use the edict Information Quarantine if you don't want to get detroyed. So the purges and slavery you done are not spread out to the galaxy.
UNSC style would be cool or WarHammer 40k XD
hey shack if war is coming from the other side you might need to build some defensive platforms naby
i hope they fix the ai ship building because they way it is now is stupid. there is no way the ai would have that few of ships in other games and nothing like being backed into a corner with enemy on all sides.
U should make a new destroyer that's build to be close range
and be careful when u retreat in battle your ships will take damage and may die
I recommend putting all torpedoes on your weaker ships and mid-short range guns on your heavier ships. That way your more fragile ships can stay in the back dealing the MASSIVE damage those torpedos are capable of, while your heavy ships can soak up enemy fire and dole out some DPS. Hope that actually works since im trying it out when I get home from work lol.
Change that divide to slower and faster moving, if you can't order a fleet to kite the enemy around in Stellaris, you still want long range weapons to stand-off as long as possible.
I'd swing through the Asari system. Seems like a good idea.
is anyone eles having problems with the voting on www.strawpoll.me I keep going to the link and it keeps telling me link no found.
I say build more ships a shit load more go for mixed fleets and while that happening refit/reorganised the one left there a little bit as well and then hit both sides as well after that prepare for the west side of the alliance with shit about to hit the fan mate
like the intro :)
So I don't think he noticed, but the Birnathi Council had a fleet of 1.3k moving into Drel territory when he ended the episode. I don't think they're going to survive that war...
Which means our entire West border is cut off by hostile empires...We either will have to heavily fortify our west border...or combat the Birnathi ourselves.
Should the Drull fall, after we rest and recuperate, we can launch a liberation campaign to free the Drull and set up a sympathetic regime.
+DirgeOfCerberus111 indeed
What unnerves me quite a bit is, that his mouse pointer was RIGHT ABOVE the invasion-fleet you mentioned, but he didn't say anything about it.
Did he really not notice? That would mean he is really lacking on some observation skills xD
DID he though, and only wrapped it up together with his comment about the impending doom on the western front?
Hard to say ;)
And a small question to the new campain (sorry i dk how write it) that can we choose the new race which we want or what ?
okay i edit it
if you play the game yes
*campaign
okay calm down guys
attack from the rear but use a small group of corvettes to lure there main fleet away
WHY DIDNT YOU USE THE FORCES AT THE GREEN WALL SYSTEM
The station in the green wall system is like DS9
So sad :(
Shack and crew are forced to migrate galaxies and move to another after all the ridiculous pressure inside and outside force them to move out and colonize a new planet. What will befall them? Will humanity fail? Or will the XPG Alliance come back and have its ways used by a new young empire of aliens. Who knows? I certainly don't. :)
I think you should go for a UNSC Style empire so your main focus will be expansion and survival. more expansion based and less alliancy. but not xenophobic just weary.
YOU KEEP MISSING FIRST CONTACT PROTOCOL!!!! Its a pointless thing but gives you +5% happiness in the conquered Jehet territories!
Dear Field Marshall Shack: I'm a reporter from XPGNN and I was picked because I'm a called geek. When it comes to both Space Exploration and Military Hardware (Both Planetary based and Space based.) I ask you for an interview with you about your current 6 month simulation as the System Alliance's First Space Lord. By the way aren't Field Marshall's high ranking ground commanders. I though you would use either Grand Admiral or High Admiral. As space was always seen as a sea of stars. (Out of character guys. Q used the rank of Field Marshall during an early season one ep of Star Trek TNG and Winston Churchill was at one time the First Lord of the British Navy. Before becoming the British PM during WW2)
seeing you fit the arazona hurt me.... medium auto cannons man! and the overflow of energy.... Ugh. I know this isn't a recent vid but still... i cri. fix yo fleet. even when you were looking at the raptors mass drivers. AUTOCANNONS!!!>!>!>! OMO
30:55 "It´s a Trap!" ^^
Since I Haven't been asked despite supporting for the last couple of months Here's my three names. Capt. Saren Soile, Capt. Patricus Tollan, & Capt. Patrick Green.
These are my corvette captain names, however I don't mind If I'm a governor, scientist, general, or basically whatever you need me to be....
Love your videos shack, and this series practically forced me into buying this damn addictive game. also, you should try some more mods like the New Ship Classes & More mod or the Playable Robots mod ooh and the Gods and Guardians mod and the Super Advanced Governments mod and the Stellar Expansion mod and the Mecha Armies mod(this one adds Mobile Infantry) and the RingWorld........ and did I mention I like mods?
I vote for the tundra world colonization because 1. there aren't many mountain ranges in your empire, much less ones blocking actually important tiles. 2. the amoeba project unlocks a type of strikecraft(which are fighters/bombers) which only benefit cruisers and battleships, which you don't have yet. 3. you have more monthly social science than physics and engineering
Captain Shack, you can try to make the next empire/alliance in the next stellaris campaign to one of the three factions from planetside2. 3 choices: Terran republic(being the same military gov as of right now), New conglomerate(focus on making deals with other races which includes trading deals, colonizing different planets, and using the "mercenaries for hire" system[when a friendly alien race is under attack, they need to make a trade deal first before entering a war]) or the Vanu sovereignty(which believes that technology is superior. Mostly focus on high tech weapons/ships and could only be friends with aliens that follows the same way)
Just a few options to think about since you decide to create a new stellaris campaign.
From, general winter of the Jehet defense force( hopefully becoming a character :/ )
Dammit Shack, you had a fleet with 316 strength sitting in the Greenwall system that you could have called into that battle with the 1.3k fleet. You would have won if you'd brought them in.
Apart from that, great video, really enjoyed it.
If you want to change the empire for the new run you might want to take a look at the seldom used goverment options. I.e.
Theocratic Oligarchie (though long living leaders might not be the way you want to go).
A very fund way to play is also indirecte democracy and short lifespan (with upgraded goverment and later policies you get lvl 5 leader right of the batch and a high incentive o actually pick alien leaders since those life longer ;)). Just make sure your pop is ok with the policies (no spirituals). Just don't pic fast lerners or similar for this one the trick is to aim for leaders that never need to learn. Going for the +1 skill through trait is also not the best option since that won't apply for alien leaders.
A possible combination could be Xenophile, Individualistic and Militaristic. +20% happiness through buildings. The rest has to come from mixing the aliens (you might consider charismatic for this one). It also keeps your diplomatic options very open you can either charm them to join you or conquer them.
Nice work Captain! i personally say attack from the back its probably less defended!
Arg!! Seeing all of those Pop's unemployed is painful!
And at first, I didn't think upgdrading all of those power plants was worth it, since you're already maxed out on power... but once you end that energy trade deal, you will certainly need to make up the difference.
Fleet Marshall Shack, I feel, like many of my colleagues, that we eliminated their primary fleet. Push through to their homeworld and bomb Lakarian City down to the bedrock.
Star Wars theme with hyperspace only for the next one would be awesome just saying... Or Halo... Possibly Dawn of war would be pretty sweet, those two would be warp travel though
New game in future: How about making it an actual Empire? You keep on saying at times, empire, but you mean Alliance. Maybe an empire similar to Tau? or humans of warhammer 40K?
Captain's log star date 2254.04.03: we just engage the Cardassion fleet and the fleet had to retreat. we dealt serious damage to the enemy fleet with our torpedoes before they could even fire at us, however there were to many of them to fight. half of our fleet was destroyed and my ship was heavily damage before the order to retreat was issued..... we couldn't retreat, our engines were down so i ordered the evacuation of the RÜNEFANG... only half the crew made it out, we currently on the planet Quni-Seraphuus and are holding position on the planet thankfully we already Occupying this planet. i ordered the men to gather as many weapons and ammo as they can find, I can only expect the Cardassions to send in an invading force at any time, most likely the one we were chasing before we engaged their main fleet, my men and i will hold this planet to the bitter end for the Alliance.... but i hope renforcements come soon...
hum the "yellow beam" on their cruisers are shield disruptors, average dmg but 100% bonus vs shield so use armor. And because they have a Large turret on it, it have more range, more dmg but less accuracy. Remember to always spy on enemy ships asap, and upgrade accordingly !
Mac nooo why did´nt you run... well maybe his commander(WINK) had set him to passive a couple episodes back whoops ehh keep it up love this series
39 minutes in....not sure if you figured it out... It's kinda funny though, watching you be impatient about the upgrades, and not knowing that they'll be delayed until the station completes construction on the destroyers you ordered.
Hey, if you are going to do a tyranicall/Imperial/Fascist or anything like that Empire, don't forget to use Information Quarantine ;)
Shack, upgrading requires the shipyard to have a empty queue so building, repairing, and upgrading take up the same queue, other words don't build when you want to do stuff with your fleet, also pay attention to your scientists and check all your diplomatic options with every empire.
Shack, did you seriously name the other Fleet Commander after my ship or was that a Patreon?
Grand Admiral. Major Butterhorse of the 98th Destiny Marine Regiment. If I may I would like to secure the PPA station orbiting Earth to be held under your jurisdiction.
Negative, the station is already Alliance property and under the Alliance Governor's control.
So Admiral, what's your thought on the Alliance's next move?
Normally i'd say drive into the Cardassian's flank at Kraz, and hit them where they least expect it, but we don't know what's there. Or even how valuable a target it is.
*More importantly!* We may have just knocked out the enemy's primary fleet. Now might be the perfect time to relaunch our offensive towards there homeworld via Unif. We know their defenses are weakened there by persistent Djunn efforts, and we are guaranteed their support should we attack.
What is your analysis of the situation Admiral?
Vating from what I've heard the PPA is nonexistent and the Alliance Government has taken control of the station. Also Deputy Director Eddie Docer has been placed under house arrest. Please explain to me what had happened
R Zabala It is in disarray right now, and the stations was always Alliance. A civil war broke out and we had to put it down.
What Captain Shack needs to do with the new campaign is decide if he's in charge of an Alliance or Empire because it's called the XPG System Alliance yet still has the habit of calling it an Empire. xD
Shack! You should start your own chain of events written perhaps by paetron subscribers, that you put in your intro. This chain of events would lead to the dismantling of the alliance, and the formation of whatever government you decide on next.
keep fleets together and dont put EVERYTHING in missiles. dpm is low
Your fleet is kinda small.
Edit: Also would you do re-education on the Jehet worlds already? It is the only way your gonna stop them from revolting.
Just to let you know, the regenerative hull tissue is really bad. It provides no armor and barely any healing to make noticeable difference. I think you should replace them with deflectors or armor. Just because it's rare tech doesn't mean it's good.
It'd be cool to add ringworld start to some other custom races, speaking of, adding patreon races with some backgrounds would be neat as well. Looking forward to the update myself and I really hope they change the threat mechanic.
Senator Phaser Bunny.
I'd vote for him.
Thanks fam
Vote for Phaser Bunny? After what he did in Berlin I highly doubt he deserves a vote
XD
+Arnold Bridge Hey, that wasn't my fault. The Senator did it.
Don't be childish, you disobeyed a direct order from the Grand Admiral. We also gave Poland and Ukraine back to Cyrillia
I say that the new campaign uses warp tech for space travel rather than hyper tech. It's more realistic to what we currently believe possible for a FTL system. Makes sense to me if we're human in the Sol system again. Thoughts?
Shack...
You better finish this campaign.
also your a very big noob is star trek online.
Love the Stellaris series. In your next season, please don't play a slave empire. The devs made slavery stink. (or maybe it's just really hard to play?)
I mean, naming a ship "Forward Until Dawn" is just asking for it. Then again, so is naming a planet Reach and it's still standing so, who knows?
Shack can i be a assault comander and company name as WARMARINE division please
It looks like they are using disruptors which do 100% shield damage which is why they are ripping through your shields.
