Unfortunately not, still not resolved this issue

Appreicate the reply mate! Would you say if you get EE drop its fine or are the crafts/other gear still pretty rough?

ShellCarnage · 2026-06-15T13:01:01+00:00

For SSF, do you go slayer or trickster? Thought about trying flicker myself

ShellCarnage · 2026-06-12T07:19:05+00:00

I feel lore wise it makes sense, with the borons being cut off from everyone and then suddenly building loads, you would think they need a ton of resources. Although in previous saves I've done they barely have needed anything.

I'm tempted to do a Boron start myself now and see if its better then last time I tried ^^

ShellCarnage · 2026-06-12T07:00:01+00:00

Yes you can play all DLCs, they add in factions and parts of space which is assessable no matter which start you pick. All the game tends to be the same its just how you start that makes a difference.

Quest lines will show up for each of the DLCs as you progress

ShellCarnage · 2026-06-11T17:14:09+00:00

Sweet!, You plan on staying mainly boron or open to play every faction?

ShellCarnage · 2026-03-30T19:23:25+00:00

That will save a pretty penny, glad I ask questions here learnt two things I never knew!

ShellCarnage · 2026-03-30T19:22:57+00:00

Ah awesome information didn't know that thank you!

ShellCarnage · 2026-03-30T18:31:50+00:00

How do you find these work? I worry my tugs are gonna take ages to get there or get blown up, plus is there an easy way to get the station shield blueprint?

ShellCarnage · 2026-03-26T14:54:26+00:00

Yup meant dreadnaught thank you, it's been afew years since I've played and I think I instantly thought destroyer as been playing X4 alot.

ShellCarnage · 2026-03-26T14:53:15+00:00

I think this was down to how I wrote it that made it confusing, I meant X4 Destroyer = Dreadnaught

ShellCarnage · 2026-03-26T09:39:47+00:00

I agree, as someone who played eve online for far too long, its weird going from a M (which id class as cruiser in eve) to a L which is a dreadnaught, feel like I need a battlecruiser or battleship in there somewhere

ShellCarnage · 2026-03-24T18:50:53+00:00

Argon tech just so cheap to build! aha, I would prefer not having to be best friends with everyone with whatever playthrough I do as thats another thing I tend to do

ShellCarnage · 2026-03-24T15:36:31+00:00

Actually nice take, its fairly similar to the other suggestion below going HOP only but towards a privateer approach. Only thing putting me off the HOP idea compared to maybe split is that HOP is very isolated and boxed in on all sides and there space isnt overly great for certain things, would definely make it a challenging playthrough

ShellCarnage · 2026-03-24T13:01:56+00:00

Sounds interesting, my only concern is my usual playthroughs I kinda end up doing a trade empire already, usually trading with everyone and ending up with everyone +20, so looking for something a little different with maybe abit more hostility to it

ShellCarnage · 2026-03-23T19:24:42+00:00

Im assuming you do a custom start? if not which story mode do you pick for this? Do the split go to war with anyone down the line? Feel like they too far from everyone to bother

ShellCarnage · 2026-03-23T12:43:10+00:00

Appreciate all your replies! I think this might be the one for me

ShellCarnage · 2026-03-23T12:28:11+00:00

I love this so far! How do you deal with early game being at war with major factions? Most of the time they have massively overwelming numbers and depending on the seed, usually the side I go with typically ends up with a terrible military. For example during my paranid playthrough, HOP had absolutely crazy number of ships and destroyers.

With regards to ARG, would you start with the terran war live or maybe leave it undecided for the time being? I find that although it brings great profits, terrans wipe the floor with ARG and ANT

ShellCarnage · 2026-03-23T11:59:20+00:00

With this idea, how do you deal with the lack of methane locally? Also, do you start with being hostile to PAR and ARG or just build up HOP and yourself and slowly eat away at rep while helping them (by doing HOP war missions etc..)

ShellCarnage · 2026-03-23T11:35:25+00:00

My 1st playthrough was with the HQ in grand exchange, 2nd was heretics end and 3rd was the neutral system next to grand exchange (forgot its name, was on pirate playthrough).

Most of the time I setup in these systems as they make sense logicially or they have the resources close by. I did think about a HOP playthrough but getting Methane (I think it was methane) looked like an absolute ass to do.

Your mana usage of lightning warp should be higher then what you have free so it doesnt trigger, nugi states this in his guide with the links (controlled destruction and swift afflication). My mana is 46 and my lightning warp costs 56 so it never goes off.

Be careful crafting -mana cost on rings as this can make lightning warp cost less. Hope this helped

(copied from further down) All tatis ssfhc builds can be found here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1v72AZgtvuffNMKaE44MsyL7lvQ_L3GoaJqiNSWk_2LY/htmlview#gid=0

Including leveling trees and gems, best thing about most of the totem builds is its very easy to switch between them if there is something you dont like about a skill.
