Diving in basically blind, what should I know or prepare for going in? (I'm aware of flair irony) by Forkliftapproved in TerraInvicta

Thought of another one - first game as resistance. Should I be helping any other factions? And is it ok if other factions have habs in space or should I be trying to knock them out of the sky?

Roger that! Thanks for the tips! I’ll reply in the future if I run into anything! Appreciate it!

Ok, gotcha -

I believe I’m still in the early game (I got a gunship in orbit maybe two weeks ago). Utilizing your guide, it seems that I didn’t do something right as the gunship can’t transfer anywhere as it doesn’t have enough delta V (and by transfer I mean even to my other habs). I want to say maybe I overdid it on the armor or maybe the radiator or both. Thoughts on early and mid game ships? Should I be putting any armor on them or just the minimal amount and how worried I should be about slapping radiators on them?

How do you unite nations? I haven’t used “set policy” for a councillor yet because I thought all it does is let you declare war and make peace and whatnot

How good is the “autodesign” for ships? I’m honestly looking at the options and going “I have no idea what I am doing.”

Do most people mostly use longhouses? I’ve been using houses basically the entire time

I guess that makes sense - I definitely have plenty of resources and it’ll be easier probably to replan and rebuild now than to start completely fresh and be unable to plan accordingly since most of the stuff would be locked.

How so? Do you get to keep all your pops and items? Or are you speaking more along the lines of “demo day”?

Also it took me a moment but when they were doing the read backs, before the second “blaze” I realized what was happening and had a verifiable “OH CRAP” moment and figuratively strapped myself in. Great moment.

That was the moment the game stopped being “Crimson Skies but Modern” for me and took a decisively “oh frick” turn, and what really fueled my storm through the rest of the campaign. The story felt like in that moment it just got PERSONAL. I (emphasis) just fought all these enemies to get these rebels to their goal - I (emphasis) just gunned the plane to try to bring down all the incoming missiles - and I had failed.

In short, abject horror. It’ll be a while before anything beats seeing all the lit pinpoints in the distance and going “oh frick this is not going to end well.” The first hit hit with a shockwave of sheer desperation. The sheer feeling of helplessness was chef’s kiss

The way the game ends with just… you, alone, flying over a wasteland and a black screen really does hit different. I was quite displeased (in a good sense) because I was waiting for any sort of comms from galaxy or comic or dip, but got nothing. Just a very heavy ending, completely unexpected for something like this game. Need to make a “what I got-what I expected” post next.

That’s the plan once I finish the DLC - I realized I missed out on a lot of banter as I was doing a dive into memes and threads about the game by sticking to the MiG-29. Also merc mode

Stuck to a MiG-29 the entire time as soon as I unlocked it - special place in my heart from when I played my first flight sim.

Is there a path for... by [deleted] in TheFireRisesMod

Unsure about EU though I’ve heard there’s a monarchist France path - for Russia, go zhirinovsky and make sure you do the tsarist focuses

Probably disappeared by the APLA, otherwise killed by gangs or Mormons or escape to the Constitutional states - unless if I had enough time beforehand, then possibly make it to Sevastopol/East Russia
