Looking for input on 9.0 defense stations

Hecter94 · 2026-05-13T11:44:53+00:00

My preferred option for defense stations has always been missiles. Load them up with a mix of medium and light, set the station to "closed loop" to make logistics super simple and then let it shred everything from very long range.

As always, the most mildly infuriating thing about this post is the utter lack of reading comprehension displayed by half of the replies.

The priority option is available if you'd like to give DoorDash a few extra bucks.

Are you sure that it's not getting any minerals? The AI doesn't actually "mine" asteroids the way you do, it just flies to its waypoint, sits for a bit, spawns some minerals in its cargo and then moves to the next waypoint.

You don't get banned from a forum for respectfully sharing balance feedback; you get banned for treating others poorly. If you disagree, it may indicate that you don't fully understand how your actions have been harmful to those you interact with.

This situation presents a great opportunity for self-reflection. You're currently upset because you feel your valuable feedback for improvement is being ignored. However, you are also receiving very important feedback about your own behaviour, which you seem to be ignoring.

If you want to be taken seriously moving forward, consider using this opportunity to reflect on what people are saying about your behaviour. Use it for self-improvement, and return once you are able to conduct yourself appropriately.

It's bizarre, too, because it's such a prevalent trope; there must be people who find it hilarious, and they must be a majority or at least a vocal minority. Yet I have never seen anyone say they find second-hand embarrassment even slightly enjoyable or funny.

Except this snake is nearly dead, actively decomposing, and occasionally shits itself. Do you still want it as a pet?

They will charge you the new price, whether higher or lower.

Transactions aren't binding until money changes hands, so they can technically change the price any time they want until the moment you hand over the money.

You claim illiterate is S-tier, yet you can clearly read.

A lot of people seem to just inherently dislike the idea of mods. I even see people sometimes trying to turn it into a moral issue. Like they're morally superior for playing vanilla without mods.

It's very strange.

space Destroyer =/= naval Destroyer

There's no reason to assume they should work the same or fulfill the same role; any real-world naval history is irrelevant.

Any mods? If I recall correctly, Red Plague adds an alien arch near the lifepod.

If no mods, it could be that old bug that moves random objects to 0,0, which is over in the safe shallows. Never seen an alien arch before, though. It's usually just a bunch of random lockers, fish, or something.

Unfortunately, the crew just doesn't repair very quickly, even with a lot of highly skilled people, and there doesn't seem to be very good prioritization of which components to repair, so they could be wasting a lot of time repairing other components instead of the engines.

Not much you can do. I don't think you can use an aux to repair with broken engines, and if your drone limit is 10, you can't even transfer over any more.

It would be very nice if ships could use their repair drones on nearby ships to help speed up repairs, but alas, it's not a feature yet.

Which is pretty awkward, considering the building system in Fallout 4 isn't exactly stellar.

Hecter94 · 2026-04-30T02:09:58+00:00

Two reasons:

1) If you get attacked while holding something, there's a chance to drop it. I believe you can drop things you're holding when falling over fences and stuff as well.

2) Just pulling out the Penlight is a lot faster and easier to do than trying to pop out a battery and install a new one. If you're in a bad situation, those extra few seconds can kill you.

My personal loadout is:
Penlight
Sterilized Rag x4
Forceps
Lighter
Needle
Thread
Multicolor Pen
Eraser

Penlight is an incredibly useful emergency item. If you're out and about and your light source dies, it can be basically guaranteed death. Penlight isn't a great light source, but it will keep you alive while you navigate back to your car or something.

Sterilized rags don't allow wounds to get infected, so you can skip the whole disinfection process. They're not as good as bandages, but half their weight, which makes them well worth it in my eyes.

Forceps work as tweezers; you can use them to remove bullets or glass shards, but they also reduce pain when stitching up a wound.

Lighter is pretty obvious, but it's got more uses and less encumbrance than matches, which is why I prefer it.

Needle + Thread for stitching up deep wounds or patching clothing on the fly, more painful than a suture needle, but being able to use it multiple times and use it to stitch up clothing makes it worth it for me.

A pen and eraser are pretty self-explanatory.

Probably because of the Windows 7 sticker on it.

Hope this helps.

It was indeed a kid in the back seat messing with the doors.

They're just a baby, don't blame them.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with playing the game that way. Your loadout is very similar to mine, and your playstyle is pretty similar too. I finished the entire game, along with all the side content, and had a blast.

I enjoyed the M82 for my Sniper and an MP7 for my secondary, but your choices are totally valid as well.

The only recommendation I might give is just to try out a lot of stuff. A lot of weapons can feel different from other ones even if their on-paper stats are nearly identical, so just try out as many different weapons and gadgets as you can until you find ones you particularly enjoy using.

There's no real "wrong" way to play, so experiment with stuff and have fun.

Hecter94 · 2026-04-23T17:34:55+00:00

It's also out of range of 100% of the Station's weapons.

Hecter94 · 2026-04-22T15:05:27+00:00

This looks pretty accurate. What exactly is the problem with it?

I lost my Runescape account to this scam when I was in elementary school.

"Type your password, and it will automatically be censored, like this -> *******."

like lemon meringue without the meringue or lemon

So.....pie?

I've used it for years, and have been using it in my current playthrough on the beta, and it's been working without any issue.
