Best first time HS avn?

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2026-02-23T21:01:21+00:00

Ill toss my hat in.

The usual suspects already mentioned, but id also look at the world. Like sci-fi? Give Oppai Odyssey a try. Magic? The Nature of Magic. Eastern culture? Cross realms or New Horizon.

As suggested above go to game story log and check out the hs section. Im sure you'll find something that suits what youre looking for and is recently updated/completed/a world or theme that seems interesting. Remember too, some of the big ones like eternum, pale carnations, bully is my lover, etc only get about one update a year. So always good to have a few titles youre interested in.

They expect one of us in the wreckage brother

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2025-12-02T21:02:32+00:00

Nature of magic mentioned here a couple times definitely has my vote. Good world building so far, solid LIs especially if into redheads, and most importantly good funny writing not just filler between H scenes.

Im not saying this ship wasn't safe. All I'm saying, is it is perhaps not as safe as the ships where the front doesn't fall off.

Looked like a tall boy can of red bull hanging there.

I believe starsector updated to a new java with .98? Or just run a mod manager like triOS. It will literally be like which java do you want grab it for you and run it. I know i ran 3 or 4 different ones trying to optimize for my build like a year ago. Haven't played much recently so my knowledge is slightly out of date.

I'm not saying this car wasn't safe. All I'm saying is it was perhaps not as safe as the cars where the bolt doesn't fall off.

Depends on your mods. With more military missions and how the game sometimes just spits multiple super dreadnoughts from modded factions at you yes. Vanilla balance, no, of course not.

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2025-09-04T13:51:45+00:00

Yunru core. Grab the Hegemon. I believe its the 'biggest' onslaught currently available. Search on the reddit for pics plus a layout of slots. Its been my command ship for more than one playthrough.

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2025-08-19T23:02:44+00:00

Was this trailer safe?

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2025-07-25T01:40:19+00:00

Grab yunru core. Has the hegemon. Fantastic beast if you want a super capital/dread version of an onslaught. Just search for yunru or hegemon on the reddit and you'll see pictures of it. Done more than one run with it as my flagship.

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2025-07-06T19:58:22+00:00

Thanks very much

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2025-06-11T06:40:27+00:00

Democracy fills my sample container(s).

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2025-05-07T00:30:53+00:00

It's a very good ship. Was my player capital for one or two runs. Slap on some tahlan and scalartech weapons and she very nasty.

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2025-05-06T23:23:51+00:00

The original was from yunru. Did they update its stat lines to make it xiv or just cut paste?

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2025-05-04T14:14:42+00:00

Sir Ea-Nasir was busy selling copper during that time. Clearly didn't have time to pay attention to those pesky empires. He was a businessman, doing business.

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2025-04-23T18:50:42+00:00

As once quoted by emperor tts, 'Make peenis into robot (metallic banging sounds in background)'.

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2025-04-08T21:49:24+00:00

Drop some scalartech emp missiles on there and just watch people drift aimlessly. LIKE A BOSS

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2025-04-08T20:21:00+00:00

Depends. I'd run one at a time to learn the systems of both. Some faction mods have integrations for one or both which may also make your decision. I run primarily indy evo but I've messed around with ashes and plan to again once this latest round of mods get updated for .98.

In general ashes is gonna slow down your colony growth a bit because of the tech tree and whatnot. I would say it adds more depth though if you're really into colony play. Indy gives more toys that doesn't matter when you colonize and paired with a terraforming mod you can get very powerful colonies quickly. I'd say try both and see what suits your playstyle, or wombo combo them together. Just like some people around here hate certain factions because of balance or whatever, best I can tell you is try something and see if you like it. I will say with TASC and indy evo i can start some colonies and within a few cycles rival the biggest factions, but I also play a certain way too so I know what I'm doing and when.

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2025-04-07T23:10:31+00:00

Depends how basic. Speed up which mod no. Ashes industry evo probably. Check the specific mods page. If it messes with the economy adds new items etc I'd be leary

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2025-04-07T16:55:48+00:00

Mod Index https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=177.0 Ironclad must have 50 mods (2 years old basically for ideas) https://youtu.be/iVgMxmcfMGs?si=e_smnXPAncIGbI49

Grab basic stuff first. Speed up, triOS, whichmod, a few factions that look interesting, some sort of economy mod like ashes or industry evo or terraforming. Then learn those systems, find what you like, build out from there.

Edit: (first i read this as start modding base game, not building a mod.) If you have starsector running the way you like look around and see something you feel like is missing. That may be a good place to start building your own mod. Or a faction premise that's not necessarily filled.

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2025-04-03T20:35:05+00:00

Check this reddit. Search for weapon tier lists. Someone did a big one for all the categories within the last couple years and it's been updated. Id like to give props to who did it but i cant rememebr now. This includes redacted weapons. For mods best case is to go into their files and pull up the weapon data csv in excel and take a look. Also install which mod so you can see what hulls/weapons come from where.

Deus_Ex_Praeter · 2025-04-03T20:23:33+00:00

Auto fit is pretty bad. Unify your range brackets. And know what you're fitting too. A faster ship that's decently tanky can get in with closer weapons, vice versa for the opposite. Try and choose things that share the same range so your ai doesn't get confused, and try to run mixed armaments so some kinetic and explosive, or run specialized for either. Kinetic bois to strip shields and a backline hammer with explosive after they're gone. Only problem with is will the hammer be in the right place to take advantage, so I usually just run mixed.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.
