I stream between 3pm-11pm EST depending on my schedule. Feel free to stop by and say hi! www.twitch.tv/grumpythumper
Hello, welcome to my channel! I'm GrumpyThumper, also known as Grumpy and I play a wide variety of games. I enjoy grand strategy and fps games the most, but I also like to new things. This is primarily a gaming channel that hosts let's plays and tips/tutorial guides for some games. I hope you enjoy the show.
the slow eagle is good as escorts for the paragon. for me..id fit the paragon with 2 tachyons, 2HIL on the sides with ion beams alongside, 2graviton and full beam pd build with among other elite point defense and target analysis for the emp. then eagles with full kinetic pressure 3hvd, 3 gravitons and tactical lasers. works well
excellent video. that was impressive. this was very satisfying after just hearing another youtuber say that dragonfires get shot down 90% of the time. pure balogna.
Love the eagle. Use it as a battle line long range suppressor, with gravitons, ion beams and hypervelocity drivers. It doesn't deal incredible damage, but in multiples it's really effective at gumming up the enemy for your more powerful ships to finish.
lol figured when I looked at the title, video got getting eviscerated in the comments by people familiar with lowtech builds, I instantly thought this is a way too subjective of a title since hull mods are objectively better or worse depending on fleet comp. Shoulda just titled it hightech hull mod tier list or something like that.
New to the game and my main ship is an eagle with weapons in all mounts, it deals good damage but it quickly overloads in prolonged engagements. To improve flux, is it better to empty some weapon mounts? Or keep the mounts equipped with weapons, but replace them with less flux hungry ones?
2 years later Hull Restoration is S-tier for sure. 15% combat readiness for ships with no d-mods. So the skill doesn't become useless after all the d-mods are gone.
This was helpful. I still don't understand though, that in a system with 2 colonised planets (owned by me) one produces a big food surplus and exports outside this system, while my second planet there experiences food shortages. There is no pirate Luddite activity.
I really liked the dragonfire on the large missile slot on an odyssey and either the medium one or another DEM in the same side medium missile as well. If you're in close you can use the ship's shield to protect the munition while charges up to fire, and then back it up with all the normal left side Odyssey fun toys.
Pirate colossus with shield shunt and bulkheads and integrated point defense ai slaps. Basically just an indestructible and cheaply maintained carrier. You can deploy like 20 of them at once. As far as i know, its the highest ratio of durability to deployment cost out of any loadout. Even more than the invictus dreadnaught
high scatter amp is for close range brwaling ships ... especially when they already use safety overrides and or other mods which diminish range above x
I always look over ships that primarily use missles because i’m always scared of running out. But now: seeing the cost effectiveness of these little guys I am tempted to give it a fair shot
Ha, great video about a ship that I would normally pass over. I'm doing a "Malcolm in the Midline" midline-only playthrough right now, so I may have to look at removing one of my cruisers to make room for a handful of these little guys!
Your videos helped me so much back when I was a newbie to this game. And even later when a new patch makes some colony crisis thing difficult, your video again helped. I might go try this kind of fleet against the Xhan mod baddie in the corner after it beat up my regular fleet a couple of times.
ill let it float around defensively preferably behind the front line with among other salamander pod and heavy burst laser with built in mags and optics
That fight was wild. I feel like sometimes I lose my capital ship I'm flying to AI fleets randomly only to find out they have BS like this. Had deja vu when that onslaught blew up and not in a good way. Surrounding stuff is so powerful in this game.
This video was long over due. Here is the small but mighty vigilance, a great addition to any fleet. Wolfpack Tactics ONLY works on piloted ships. No bonus damage if empty. I did try an all DragonFire fleet, but the issue is you run out of missiles quickly, so prolonged engagements are off the table. You can potentially mitigate this by bringing 30 vigilances to the fight.
Sunder is my go-to destroyer. Give it a HIL & any two long range, medium-size beams... Plus the usual aux. thrusters and range extenders... max out on vents. It is unbelievably good for a destroyer, and is possibly one of the best out there. You are bringing so much power to bear, for so little cost, AND you can get them early-game. Just one of these can knock out pirate carriers and light cruisers like the falcon, and win you some big bounties. A small group of them will put the hurt on anything bigger. I haven't played with safety overrides on these, but I don't see much of a need.
I was also an enforcer hater, until my gf, a _brand-new_ Starsector player, randomly slapped 4 assault chainguns and safety overrides on an enforcer that she picked up for cheap, without even reading what anything does. She did not even read the quest texts, she just went straight into bounty hunting. Mother of God... It really just works.
You make it look so easy! I've been getting better though and Aurora safety overrides is a hell of a drug ty for that one. Loved your tierlists back in the day any chance you'll talk about the new weapons/ships?
Re-remade this video because the last one was a little yappy. Hope you enjoy this succinct guide. Also enjoy the magic trick of me turning a lasher into a hammerhead (3:17)
It's really great offensively if you use them to support bombers. You basically get a unit that can fire off missiles, rearm almost instantly, then fire off more missiles. If you are going to use it defensively, then I would suggest strike craft like the Xyphos or Thunderdrone Interceptor who can protect you from many threats.
