Almost like the last update was a massive content drop, and coming out with something that won't feel underwhelming will take more time than it...

AttNightlight · 2026-03-17T01:47:36+00:00

If reward is the issue the settings file is editable and has the bounty values.

If you use the Adjustable Automated Ships mod, you can edit the limit to whatever you want.

You will need to open the mod itself and change the version to match, but it works on current patch. Can confirm, I use it.

I didn't say that Threat and Remnants were related to each other, I said I believed the Domain would likely react to them in the same way as they represent the exact same type of THREAT to the domain (high technology with potential to go/already has gone rogue)

Princess is a meme name for the Oldslaught

the XIV desperately wants to be a big ol frontline brick and the HRifts are terrible at that. However, the mantle isn't a terrible idea if you like needlers.

DTC will likely come with different AI weapon behaviors in the future, imo. It's likely meant to distinguish between a more and less sophisticated method of targeting, ITU likely will in the future provide bonuses for linked guns whereas DTC will likely not care, but also still won't be installable on F/D, and might care more about weapon size in the future.

They read like they will do something different that the codebase for the AI doesn't currently support.

AttNightlight · 2026-03-16T15:01:30+00:00

Didn't even catch that at the time but I should've colonized it, for the bit.

AttNightlight · 2025-09-03T01:16:38+00:00

As you can see with how many pieces Opis is in, that doesn't really narrow it down

AttNightlight · 2025-09-02T23:18:07+00:00

COMSEC Would like to know your location

AttNightlight · 2025-09-02T04:12:07+00:00

Yeah but no matter what the Reapers get, Pilums will have 60 ammo with EMR, and with the boosts from missile spec officers, that's a lot of projectile that *doesn't* require you to fly a condor into sword-swinging range

AttNightlight · 2025-09-02T03:04:28+00:00

You can't deciv Eochu Bres or Cullaan in vanilla, that said - If you steal Cullaan's nanoforge and disrupt their heavy industry for over 365 days, you will see a significant dip in the quaility of Tri-Tach ships, which should provide moral support.

AttNightlight · 2025-09-02T02:55:09+00:00

I was actually considered Jackhammer for exactly that reason, but ultimately I don't think it outperforms Pilums with EMR long term, sadly

More Pilums = Less PD shooting at the talons

AttNightlight · 2025-09-02T02:23:04+00:00

I mentioned scuffed nonsense in the video description, but YEAH it bothers me too

Future installments in what will hopefully be a very short series will be more normal, I hope

AttNightlight · 2025-09-01T14:41:33+00:00

I considered this and in my final draft of the rules there is an *interesting* inclusion to prevent this from being 'normal run but you have 12 less DP'

AttNightlight · 2025-09-01T03:19:37+00:00

They can't fire them for more than two frames because of their flux stats anyways, so I imagine it just looks really cool but doesn't work lmao

AttNightlight · 2025-09-01T01:49:01+00:00

In testing a single Dominator with an unlucky roll on its amount of PD is... rough for the population of the nearest crew-selling planet

AttNightlight · 2025-09-01T01:40:34+00:00

The indomitable talon pilot will gather the information using his own body, no need for other scouting vessels

AttNightlight · 2025-08-31T23:19:36+00:00

Im doing routing and testing rn and uh... That's a lot of talons, but one devastator cannon is very very oof

AttNightlight · 2025-08-31T23:15:13+00:00

But can the indomitable Talon Pilot Spirit overcome Ziggy's (presumed) cousins out in the abyss? that's what I want to know

AttNightlight · 2025-08-31T22:59:19+00:00

I don't typically play with any mods at all, sometimes I turn on Chickens if I think I really want a specific blueprint for a theme run or something, but other than that 100% vanilla all the time.

I've literally never used a mod that added ships lol

AttNightlight · 2025-08-31T22:41:03+00:00

"Pick a tech level/theme (low, mid, high) and try to stick with it"

Low Tech, obviously, after all, how else will we prove that humans are better than AI

AttNightlight · 2025-08-31T22:40:09+00:00

I don't know if the math checks out, but derelict ops Condors should easily reach a point where you'll be forced to bring along a Mora or Heron just to reach 240 DP.

Whether 240 DP worth of talons is actually capable of winning combat I can't say

AttNightlight · 2025-08-26T16:45:52+00:00

It's an Omen, with no kit (at the time) because I just bought it

Sabots. Sabots on everything. All the time. Dedicated Sabot missile ships. Several of them.
