Humanity is Doomed. Can we Save Them? 

Yknow when you stopped posting I got a girlfriend like two weeks after, isn’t that funny

Dude I need my starsector fix, please upload episode 2 for god's sake. You're one of the few youtubers I can watch playing this game, because you mostly know what you're doing and it doesn't stress me out.

World ending invasions from all corners of space by all kinds of xeno and tech horrors? We sell drugs to the Lud😂

bro is stuck in abyssal hyperspace rn

that burnout hit likea train huh

dang i miss big brain energy the starsector scene is so over without him. (fr tho there is no one else what do i do, go outside?? eww)

The only thing TriTachion "banned" are AI cores. Recreational substances are perfectly legal trade goods, they even sell them on open market.

I will never stop waiting for part 2.

epic self insert im here for it

the bugs got to him

PLEASE I need more please your the only Starsector RU-vidr I can watch who doesn’t make me cringe and when I’m watching I always feel like I’m learning something. I NEED MORE I BEG YOU. Pretty pretty extra good lookin PLEASEE. In all seriousness though hope whatever has come up isn’t a big deal and hope your life is going well.

honestly I wish the early game would last a lot longer than it does. I love fighting those small frigate-on-frigate battles between a few ships at a time, but after a few bounties the difficulty of them just goes up so much that you can't really subsist on them anymore without upgrading your fleet to bigger ships. You can still do system bounties, I guess, but even those have a difficulty curve(I think?).

I hope you come back after getting humbled by the early game, your persistence is awesome 👍!

After having rewatched the old ones for the third time,i hope you make amends with a 4 hour vid when you come back

He didn't install PAGSM because otherwise the Magnanimous, Excellent, Glorious and Auspicious Supreme Chief Overlord President Executive Gas Station Manager Phillip Andrada would have defeated all sector spanning threats single handedly.

This is late to say, but that pather fleet with the Invictus had such a high burn level not because they had the drive field hullmod, but rather there was an in-system nav buoy that they had under their control. You can see it at 58:30

Man, what a struggle. I'm not sure if any of the mods used changes this, but in vanilla you can always go to the ship graveyard in Galatia from the tutorial and recover a Hammerhead, Lasher, Dram and one or two other ships. Also on the discussion of deployment point costs, I've noticed that the Tempest literally costs as much as a Shrike at 8 points. The only real difference logistics wise is the higher fuel burn per light year and crew requirements.

Knights of Ludd seems to have incorporated a lot of Selkie’s unused doodles. Lots of one off ships have been added.

Tentacles? Why does it always have to be tentacles?

No Kazeron Navarchy?? They're THE Persean league fleet mod!

The sweatiest, smug player character. One of these days you'll get a beelz rig.

Still waiting for ep. 2 pls!!! :D Looks like a great start for a new series!

49:37 what a great quote to clip out of context

Discovered this channel today. You are pure gold man :D

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

Augmented burn drive on the AI Invictus cuz he's on a holy mission to ram your shit

Good set up for a series! I really like the Xhan empire and Pamed ships so I was happy seeing you add that mod in.

Oh shit interesting mod lesgoooo

Hey man, love your stuff. Love the long form, love the in depth thought processes you share. Hope you and yours are doing well. ❤

Yooo I love your vanilla fleet strategy videos. Can't wait to see what you come up with for fighting hivers.

Happy i found the channel a week ago, love the content

Thank you for the great videos. I've upped my starsector game and I love omens now. I finally have a frigate I can bring 40 dp of and feel like I'm not just being a cute rp boy

just watched all the spacer series pls upload im lost in this bitch of a sector

i want more content from my favorite wide hip femboy art looking guy :( i just started watching and this channel is so so helpful

😂 that little slip at the very beginning was completely appropriate considering the mods you got in here. Great start to the video

Playlist saved and video liked! Now, let's watch it.

the ai deploys a force it thinks can safely match what you deploy into battle so if you have a single fast powerful ship like your wolf at the very start you can take this into battle, pick off any isolated enemies - or outright destroy those that are deployed; and then as you're overwhelmed pull back to your retreat point and call in the rest of your fleet as an ambush or ablative armour as you take on the rest of the force. as you were saying about using the game's mechanics to pick your own difficulty, strategies around deployment and retreat are also really interesting ways to enhance your playthroughs, blazeroth talked about this a lot in what is to date one of the best starsector playthroughs ever imo, as a fellow starsector asmr personality i think it'd be right up your street. also please please please please love the Vigilance, it's just a little baby and it doesn't get anywhere near enough love. a pair of vigiliances escorting a centurion or a vanguard would be so very cool

I guess humanity is indeed doomed

With regards to early game combat loss and that treadmill loop you mentioned I think there should be ways to recover lost ships and cargo after loss. Recovering ships is something you can only do if you win, but if you're forced to retreat it's a huge blow as you're not only losing ships potentially with S-mods, but also irreplaceable ships (Zig, Legion XIV, AI XIV) and weapons (Omega & Diktat). Bounty rewards also assume a flawless victory, losing ships either to having to retreat or being out of story points cuts hard into any possible profit margin, you're back in the same place like a treadmill. Losses are easy to avoid, but are far too devastating when they aren't. Players are rarely wanting to use special ships because "don't fly what you aren't willing to lose" applies to Starsector. Now there's an issue with this: if you allow the player to recover everything after a big hard loss then there's no consequences to losing, but then on the other end there's the aforementioned pain of losing things you'll never get again or are tedious to gain like story points at level cap. A compromise between these two ideas would work and still be satisfying. Losses should be punishing, not kill motivation; the carrot needs to be dangled in front of them. The quick and dirty option is to allow ships lost from your fleet to be tossed out as derelicts like what happens in NPC battles, so if you still escape you can come back later, recover them, and limp back with a fleet of mothballed ships. A more involved option is to allow you to lose it all like normal, but give opportunities for you to recover ships and weapons later. Maybe you hear intel about exotic weapons and domain technology on some black market auction which you can either crash with marines or buy from, or they're in some faction's research lab, secure storage, . Rare ships could end up the same way; S-modded ships are some pirate's flagship or collection in a hangar, your Legion XIV could end up there as well or back in Hegemony hands for you to pry it back out of, and the Zig can end up in any number of places or 3spooky5me circumstances. With the involved option the thing is to not give the opportunities back immediately and have them pop up over time. This forces the player to do without and be punished for losing them in the first place, and it gives the player the chance to decide if they really need/want them anymore when the opportunity does present itself. Like that Legion you lost? You won't be seeing that back for five months at minimum, but you will eventually get it back; it might be missing some weapons and LPCs and could have some ill-advised modifications and be all banged up, but you'll get it back.

Love your Starsector playthroughs and your presentation, keep up the hard work! Would love to see you do a playthrough where you can't buy ships or weapons from ports. You only get what you find, fight for, or produce. It's my favorite way to play and I think it would be fun to see you give it a go.

Yay, new playthrough! Im a little suprised that you decided to add Knights of Ludd, since I remember you saying in one of the Bingus videos that you find them "a little bit intense". Nevertheless I am glad that you added it - the ships are quite enjoyable, if somewhat overpowered to my liking. Also - if you are doing midline fleet - Kazeron Navarchy was already mentioned, and Mayasura Navy is also really good, for the midlined vibe, although it is "bloatmaxxing" with the amount of ships it adds. Hope you check it out one day.

Eagerly awaiting the next part :)

Before the last UAF playthrough I did, I went Tri-Tech and ONLY high-tech ships with the extended high tech mod. What a weird game, I spent days of real world time just flying between Hybrasil and Eochu just trying to prevent the faction from being DELETED. I was running 2 - 3 Omen and Tempests every single mission with wild success along side the added high-tech ships. I had like 200 ship power fleet with a nice Odyssey killing 500 power fleets. I was NEVER allowed to auto complete because I was always lower power than my opposition . . . but the raw power of each individual ship, their abilities always allowed a clean win. I hope you can save us ;)

So my first modded playthrough I worked with the Persian League. I was running Mayasuran Navy, and they're buddy buddy with the League. I figure it's about time for me to return to my roots and help the League out next playthrough. They've suffered enough at the hands of the Legio and Adversary. It's nice to see them get some appreciation here.

ahh yes finally, another video to watch on my lunch breaks!

Hope you're doin alright, and havin a good day man o7

All roads lead to Paul Bingus. And Diable Avionics is very much copyright violation, the name, the concept of a wanzer as a multirole fighting vehicle and many of their names and equipment as well as the corporation name itself has been lifted wholly from Front Mission games. Tri-Tachyon won't be pleased if they find out.

1:20:50 tritach definitely sells wolves, RNG is just mad at you today

She moddin´ my sector till I [MEMORY LEAK] Sire I need thee mod list, the real one (description one is incomplete) to check for incompatibilities, and maybe post goofy recommendations to add in the future if you desire, :p

And Here we go!

I've seen someone play with a mod called "Captain's log" that allows them to keep a log of ships found. Just in case you forget about the Legion that's waiting you.

Hi! Loved your ship loadout videos. I wonder though, how would you approach Diable Avionics ships?

I reordered my hot bar keys cus i kept hitting the E burn too. right click the ability and you can change it

It's so jover :(

Hey Big Brain. Love your videos. Have you ever considered reviewing viewer submitted fleet compositions? I'm pretty new and while I've made it to end game I have no idea why one fleet comp works and another just self destructs.

Feed me starsector seymour. Feed me now!

Personally, I joined the Persean League only after yoinking their Nanoforge, and graciously donated it back to them

c0mmenting this 0n y0ur m0st recent vid but this g0es way back hybrasil is actually irish in 0rigin its basically "irish atlantis" and the wh0le system is irish themed

your modlist is incomplete i can see you have scalartech and other mods you haven't mentioned in the description

Heya, I think you forgot Scalartech in the mod list you threw into the description (or another mod also adds a System called 'Spindle')

In case you were unaware, Symbiotic Void Creatures also spawn in any fringe system, not just in the Abyss.

Miss you, bud.

DA is my favorite faction hands down.

Im sure im not the first but diable avionics and wanzers are from a amge series called frontmission more or less armored core but turn based

31:13 They were Tri Tech. Maybe they did find the drugs. They just consider them legal. 47:50 I find the joy in the unfair fights. And in the relatively peaceful build up so that I can be strong enough to have unfair fights

When you talked about Black Market Risk and Roguelike, would the Roguelike Sector mod be an idea?

Do add the hyperdrive mod, ive found it makes travelling to fringe systems convenient at the cost of reduced cr and supplies Unlike slip surge , you can use at any point in hyperspace or in a system

for some dumb reason this video is in my recommended even though I watched it

its like he doesnt know you can vent flux

Dayumm.. Thailand in space?!

another very good trade route is Supplies from Nova Maxios to Kanta's Den

What is this star sector video doing in my ftl dedicated chanel?

22:30 arent there system bounties for pirates, you could join the fights there and chip off some money... both from the bounty and salvage.

Excited to see this series, but I'm curious how you got knights of ludd to work? My game fails to load the main menu when I try to start it. All the mods are up to date but it just tells me that it failed to load a png from the knights of ludd mod.

you should be going into bars when youre looking to buy ships. one of the things nex adds is down on their luck captains and shady military characters selling "surplus" ships at deep deep discounts.

What about the free ships in Galicia ?

Perfect

Hope u r ok.

This going to be a medium tech or low tech playthrough?

railgun & unstable injector?

In my experience, if you have Hivers and Nexerelin invasions enabled at the same time, Hivers tend to get their asses kicked because their diplomacy profile is specifically engineered to make them constantly at war with everything, which results in them often getting targeted for invasions/satbombs

Is the channel abandoned?

Ayoooooo Hivers campaign let's gooooo (pls play diable ships)

Damn dude come back already

RIP?

Diable Avionics is a squarely midline faction anyway.

crazy

is Big brain Energy using other DA mods ? guess not, i've checked.

I d rather ask: "How would you profit from it"

not at this rate

Not likely, no

I just want Diable avionics to come back and not have sketchy community updates😢

ftl :c?

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

No

big weeb nrg ded

Ew, hivers. Genuinely one of the most hideous and busted mods.

A noob
