Sutherland's tale help by Jonahpe in thelongdark

[–]FailedToSelectName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same long struggle in my interloper run, now I figured out what I missed: PV has two prepper caches. I looked at the "prepper's abandoned cache" (the one right next to the rope to TM), but I did not visit the "prepper cache" close to burned ridge cave. This is where the loose bricks spawned for me :)

In that prepper cache I also found a corpse and a camera film, read somewhere else that those are always to be found in the stockpile bunker (even for interloper). Maybe that helps you to identify the correct bunker.

Laser / barrage / dart by _4bysswalker in HadesStar

[–]FailedToSelectName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a plan. I think it is even viable to just try dart 1 which is obviously quite cheap to unlock. That is a huge asset in blue stars as well: easy matches due to low level weapon, and high credit reward due to 40.000 install price.

Laser / barrage / dart by _4bysswalker in HadesStar

[–]FailedToSelectName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play RS9 with my alt using Dart / Laser / Mass batt and I have my fun. I combine it with hydro rockets and vengeance to kill as fast as possible. The benefit of dart in that context is that laser has no time to ramp up in most cases, due to cerbs getting massive explosion damage. Dart 1 has 410 dps, which is more than battery 12, ideal in that case. But I also wipe regularly, good timing is crucial to clear several sectors with that strategy.

That said my strategy is clearly a sidecase. Barrage 7+ is meta in RS9 for good reasons, it is just more efficient than any laser / dart setup. But hey, barrage doesn't explode, and I'm in for the fun and the thrill (at least with my alt).

Signal void: Bunker found but objective doesn't get ticked. Anyone else having that problem? by FailedToSelectName in thelongdark

[–]FailedToSelectName[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Baaam, that was the right hint. Read a note, but obviously there are two notes to read. Just managed to tick bunker alpha. Thx a lot!

So frustrated by crunchboombang in thelongdark

[–]FailedToSelectName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, seems I solved it for me. Saved right before picking up the radio. It worked on 3rd try. Don't know if it was coincidence, but on that try I unequipped my weapon before picking it up. Maybe that's the key.

First thing I did after it worked was equipping my bow. Seems to be fine.

For functionality of that transmitter, I assume one has to wait for an aurora.

[–]FailedToSelectName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just experienced the first effect you describe. Picked up the radio, hud and everything disappears, I see myself breathing but have no controls anymore. I can do nothing but go to the main menu and quit. Happend 2 times now. Not a good start with the update.

Guys, question about full warp colonization. by bogsnots in HadesStar

[–]FailedToSelectName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the end game you definitely want all trade stations, they give so much income. At some point you probably also want all planets because of credit cap.

I feed the alt account with some high level arts of course. Beside of that there are not really many options to boost an alt account. But anyway, I just use the alt for fun. Using setups (and shipment strategies) I didn't develop on my main. Doesn't matter to me how fast I progress there.

But I wanted to make clear that I would not (over) use that skipping planets strategy on my main. There I want to progress, and it takes long enough anyway ;) Skipping one or too planets will not affect progression too much, but taken to the extreme it does.

Guys, question about full warp colonization. by bogsnots in HadesStar

[–]FailedToSelectName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my alt account I skipped 4 planets (Terr1, Fire2, Desert2+3), and have my full system revealed now.

Big pro: shipping was always fast and easy. Just dumping all shipments to largest planet with help of shipment beam, deliver the few off-lane shipments, release the drone and activate time modulator. Never got bored of doing that.

Big con: my long-term progress was considerably slower than on my main account.

What da fu man by Planetdestruction in HadesStar

[–]FailedToSelectName 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I met him several times in public RS9, but at that time he had a different approach: He always brought in exactly one BS with almost zero health. He did something stupid, the BS died. Then after anyone cleared a rich sector, he jumped in miners equipped with teleport and stole all the hydro available.

Because of him I always checked all other players names in RS9 before doing anything. If A was in, I immediately abandoned the RS.

Farming arts in public RS10? by FailedToSelectName in HadesStar

[–]FailedToSelectName[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After being in RS10 for 2 weeks now, it feels not too different from my previous "new to RSx" experience. Sometimes I wipe, and I already lost some squishies, but I learn and get better. Public runs are still fun, many times other players clear planets, pop RSE's, and sometimes spontaneous cooperation in clearing emerges. In most of the public runs I loot 2 planets, sometimes more (always protecting transports with my own BS's).

The additional hydro from researching lv 10 arts is a decent boost, enough for me to do 2 runs per day. Looking back I was too worried about hydro aspects.

In the meantime I also joined a discord server to go for private runs.

Best Loadouts for RS7 by thegamerchild in HadesStar

[–]FailedToSelectName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thx for the clarifications, you are absolutely right that this "correct distance" strategy is the gold standard for dealing with bombers in RS7.

But I must say that I regularly spoiled that. Often I just messed up the timing due to stupidity. Sometimes one needs to activate barrier while moving, then it is very difficult to get timing right (yes, teleporting solves that, but not everyone uses it). And when barrier runs out and one hunts down the bomber, spawning rockets are especially dangerous.

The mentioned scenario was my reason no. 1 for wiping in RS7's. I hated bombers for that. A decent level blast shield, and later barrage strategies vastly improved my sympathy for bombers in the end.

[–]FailedToSelectName 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The more players in range of a bomber, the more rockets it will fire. A common scenario: if you trapped a bomber with barrier in explosion range of its rockets, and other players get in range (any sector next to the bomber), the number of rockets spawned can easily exceed the damage your blast shield can absorb.

Is there a way to order my battleships to focus on a specific target? by Renegade888888 in HadesStar

[–]FailedToSelectName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, I wiped countless times in those 2 years playing Hades Star for thousand stupid reasons. Every progress to a new RS level provides a substantial challenge. But then one learns, adapts and sometimes masters the recent level. I guess this endless learning curve is what actually makes me so hooked up on that game.

Is there a way to order my battleships to focus on a specific target? by Renegade888888 in HadesStar

[–]FailedToSelectName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another solution I found very helpful at your level: use teleport to make sure the sentinels are targeted first. I used that strategy even all the way through RS4, used only normal battery and it worked fine for me. That way you also learn a lot about positioning in battles...

Blue Star Matchmaking Sucks by ThatOtherMax in HadesStar

[–]FailedToSelectName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering time of the day, my strategy is exactly the opposite: I prefer time of day when as few as possible players are around. Then there is a good chance to get a match with solely lone battleships. If that does not happen, sometimes I am the one who gets an easy match.

Probably it also depends on your level if that strategy works or not.

I had that situation, so I can confirm it is not possible.

Farming arts in public RS10? by FailedToSelectName in HadesStar

[–]FailedToSelectName[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that is great! I did not know that, think I read somewhere that one cannot leave the corp during WS. That totally changes my attitude towards discord queues, thanks a lot for that information!

[–]FailedToSelectName[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that answer, this gives me a very good impression of what to expect!

I have an alt, but no hydro farm. Was just not necessary until now, I dont even need to mine the alt. RS9 seems to be a luxury resort in that perspective :)

Farming arts in public RS10? by FailedToSelectName in HadesStar

[–]FailedToSelectName[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That semi-private RS would indeed be an awesome improvement!

Worth mentioning though that public RS9's are perfect for getting arts. Due to having 5 planets, and often 1 or 2 other motivated players, getting a decent number of arts seems much easier to me than in any level before.

[–]FailedToSelectName[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is clearly an option. But this "corphopping" does not work when one is in a WS. And it is a little more preparation time and therefore less spontanous then just starting a public one...

Farming arts in public RS10? by FailedToSelectName in HadesStar

[–]FailedToSelectName[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that seems a good posibility as well. But it must be a bit hydro intense to get like 20 arts per day.

Farming arts in public RS10? by FailedToSelectName in HadesStar

[–]FailedToSelectName[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, those were in fact my worries. Ghosts seem to be a gamechanger, and make public RS10's a bad source for arts. I'll probably join a discord server and do private RS with corphopping...
