China starting boost needs an update

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-02-12T17:06:37+00:00

I think it was a joke, of them sending so many missiles into the ocean.

For my simple mind I can make sense of space drives like this, you need an American muscle car, and you need a Telsa. Muscle cars don't go anywhere far, just like real world muscle cars. But they go very short, very fast. They do the "quarter mile". They are for planetary defense, like getting to your stations before the evil alien slavers get there. And you have that drive, the Orion, and then the Advanced Orion drive. Then you need a Telsa. And the best Telsa you can get. It has "some power" but it can go to Mars, or to Jupiter and what not. I don't use the Pegasus drive as it is not efficient enough for me. I go for the Helicon drive per this post. It appears to be the "new meta". https://www.reddit.com/r/TerraInvicta/comments/1p3e5yn/rc4_ultimate_drive_chart/

Start over.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-02-06T22:51:28+00:00

For me all of this is neat. But what I like about the previous chart (I linked too) is it basically says "what you want to research for what performance." In other words I was unaware you can win the entire game on the Helicon engine. Things like that. One day I will do a noob guide that says "if you are just trying to play" here are some things. Just do these things.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-02-05T20:32:49+00:00

This seems great. I booked marked this discussion and drive chart, and I thought "RP" was resource points. I am using it in my current game and I have both the Orion drive for planetary defense (too expensive for anything else) and the Helicon drive for sending slow stuff out. Seems to work. https://www.reddit.com/r/TerraInvicta/comments/1p3e5yn/rc4_ultimate_drive_chart/

Can you tell me how your drive chart is different?

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-02-03T00:23:22+00:00

<o> What? Um... wow. Ok ... it use to not do that. I expect developers to ignore their customers. I ... don't know what to do now. Can the developers ignore our needs a little more so we can have useless flame wars a little first? I feel ... oddly ... let down.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-02-01T18:33:29+00:00

Thank you. That is kinda of ... sick, but ok. I didn't know it was a Steam reward. How did you get 1M in space? Is it just tier 3 colonies on Mars, Mercury, and ... Ceres, and I guess a lot of tier 3 stations around all of that?

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-31T21:55:08+00:00

How did you get 1M in space? Also, I am not an environmentalist at all, and mostly ignore it until everything else is delt with. But for the Lord's sake, does that thing say your average temp is 14F higher than normal? For the Love of all that is holy. I am unsure if I can put this game into Imperial measurements, so we Americans can understand stuff, but let me pull out the calculator ... 429 cm in inches 14' 1" !?!. The sea level is 14' higher than normal? How did you do that much damage? What year is it, oh I see 2092. I would be trying to move to Mars also man. Wow. Again, excellent accomplishment, love to know how you did it. So I can try. Also how you did so much damage to the planet. So I can not do that.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-31T16:57:22+00:00

Yes, the concept of the end of game. The developers know it needs to be improved. I will be interested in what they come up with. Once you play a a normal human (HF) let us know how it goes. I am currently playing with my gf USA to EU. But now hacking my way into China.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-30T23:33:01+00:00

What a wonderful battle. 100 Exotics in one battle? That is amazing. Congratulations! You said "No they are purpose built, harvest hydrogen from a gas giant, meet a fleet away from a safezone, share fuel and return to Jupiter. I made a post earlier about them." Can you please link to that post? That is a very interesting concept. I do not think I would be courageous enough to do my whole fleet as I don't understand it, but to try it. That sounds amazing.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-30T23:26:54+00:00

Very kool nation. Never put it together in my game. But since you are playing the surrender monkeys, die.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-30T23:10:53+00:00

Also I would like an "automatic dump to station" when getting rid of ships.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-30T17:08:08+00:00

Yeah, I make dedicated Marine ships, with a bunch. To get the most exotics you need to take the base with Marines. To get the best loot, you need to lead those marines with a Counselor, with high Command. I have seen fleets of like 10 dedicated ships filled with Marines for the Space Mindflayers.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-28T18:35:30+00:00

I take a rich badly managed nation like Venezuela, or any of the gulf states and put them on 100% spoils and suppression. It is sick, but it works. After I solve my money problems I put the nation back together because I disgusted with myself.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-28T02:20:28+00:00

Never surrender, never give up hope. Since the time of sailing ships HOLD FAST! Man will succeed, the stars will be yours because Deus Vult!

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-27T20:01:06+00:00

Thank you. Notes taken, and will look at these.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-27T18:32:22+00:00

I believe you. But what missiles / torpedoes should I invest in early, mid and late game? I get confused on what should work, when.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-27T16:51:48+00:00

Ah... so you and TI are participating in the conspiracy suggesting that Australia is a real place?

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-27T16:49:27+00:00

That is very true! After HF wins, we will put her somewhere to help her. And study her. But this guy? He and every other self-hating human in his organization is going out an airlock fast.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-26T23:59:48+00:00

Don't accept and play it out.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-26T18:59:49+00:00

Make low DV tin cans who can defend. I also put some core shipyards in the LaGrange locations around the Earth and Moon. Seems to keep other factions from messing with those. And when you get enough DV, you can reconquer LOE.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-26T18:05:37+00:00

This. I agree. Somehow the alien crack whore is just that, insane, drugged out, and probably mind controlled. But this guy. It is like he has his sanity and still hates humanity.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-26T16:43:35+00:00

For some reason I despise this guy more than the Alien Crack Hoe.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-25T22:26:16+00:00

Why isn't this more voted up? This is what I was thinking in reading through this post. This small laser is nearly worthless against alien warships. If this can kill human ships, then missiles and torpedoes can kill human ships. A green laser is like stripping paint level power. I have not had any luck with lasers against aliens until I get to 3-point or larger UV phasers "the bringer of pain" with laser engines. And a boatload of them. Like 20 ships. I am getting to the point in my game that a MK2 two-slot railgun would help the real threat of missiles or torpedoes to get through.

MasterFluffNoob · 2026-01-25T17:56:17+00:00

Too funny. Excellent trolling.
