4 months late, but I've had both of those bounties offered to me by Arroyo and Chicomoztoc's station Commander (I forgot his name, potential high/very high rank contact through bar contract) while at less than 50 trust. As far as I am aware, those are the only 2 times you get Omega bounties.
42:45 Glad to see someone else with the same anxiety as me organising hulllmods in the order from expensive to less expensive, I though I was the only one doing that lol.
The epitome of "quantity has a quality all its own" is 2 odysseys and 25 luddic path brawlers. That can slaughter Ordos with 0 s-mods and 2 officers. Just press full assault and watch the insanity.
1:49:01 I have a save just like that at work of all places - they cut the internet recently so i had to resort to Starsector to kill time. Now i am racking my brain as to how to rescue that save and bring it home. I mean, it has every single rare item - some even got duplicates - and i haven't even started mass surveying the planets, just hit a few systems while doing bounties.
6:46 OK, cool. One more thing. concerning AI. What are all these automated ships at planets with their Nexus (?) bases? When you try to communicate with them they often mention an originator or something. What's that and do these have anything to do with the phase spacers? Also, side note: There's a Galatia quest to transport scientists to a planet that has been taken Over by by an AI core. You can negotiate with the AI and give it a shuttle. I did just to see if anything would happen... As far as I could tell nothing did and what's hi8s name at Galatia didn't even mention what I had done.
But why is this sectir obsessed with the "gates"? I mean, it is like one has a regular steam engine railroad and obsesses about those Japanese high-speed trains - yea, they are cool, but you can do everything they can, just a bit (or five times) slower. What is the big deal?
they can’t, that’s the whole thing about the sector they are limited just to it. since the gates shutdown they cannot reach the other sectors and the domain if it even exists anymore
1:54:37 How about them asking for a package or whatever before you've even acquired it? That has happened to me more than once under different circumstances, e.g. We want exclusive rights to that data. Uhm, I already transmitted it to Galatia. And I swear some have demanded data, and I'm like "What data?" I truly have no clue what they want.
2:05:12 When I wasn't playing Ironman (which is always) I tested the "You got me." line. For some reason the Interrogator doesn't believe you. It's a humorous response though.
I know you probably are going thru it irl rn or just have bigger and better things going on, but do hope the best for you, and if its in your future that you come back
This one thing I wonder about phase ships is that there design, to me at least, seems really alien. certain phase ships dont look that way, they have a more like a human design meshed with the alien look to them but others like the ziggurat and doomsday the hulls look like they were designed by possibly interdimensional entities theorised in the video. Its possible that in the future of star sectors development they might have a end game where you have to fight eldritch beings controlling phase-ships pouring through the gates. which i'm all for it.
Hello, Big Brain! Could you please make more ship-fitting or combat-oriented ̶r̶a̶m̶b̶l̶i̶n̶g̶s̶ podcasts? Campaign is cool and all, but there's plenty of that on youtube already, while your ramblings were truly something unique! Either way, no hate, your are awesome Starsector youtuber
