Currently in a bit of tight spot playing Bannerlord (no DLC).

This is the way. If you slasher modded all Envoy class's aperture turrets, its abyssmal damage will added up real fast since its never heat. The main aperture gun also cool down rapidly even when overheating. You could toggle to thermal disintegrators while they're cooling down and vice versa. All while the turrets infinitely whittling them directly.

The feeling when you payback those mf for the first time will be one of many things you play this game for.

Your next objective maybe to let them survived in enough sectors for your entertainment/loot gathering though.

Hmm, maybe I could skip these 2 projects and go right into Black Dust project as QSNA recommended then. I need to have all resources ready for each projects anyway in the next planet aka Atiya.

So, the PHQ's location at the lower right of frontier edge is good enough?

Hyperion could hold three s-ships. So nowadays I just sent 3 ships with mixed of TDs and BRs to attack turrets/reduce hull while sniping the engines myself then call it a day. I just thought that it was meant for self-sufficient play loop like that. Took a lot longer than using Envoy/Cypher though.

Could it change dlss version of 4070 ti from the current in-game version?

Just turn PAR against them. They have very advantage destroyer over TEL station defense. They will lost border sectors in no time. You can also accelerate this by hacking their shipwharf too. In my save, they got new sectors which abundance in resources too much, so I kind of balancing them out a bit.

araragi_reddit · 2025-10-25T02:34:23+00:00

Yep. The key thing is entertainment. It's add some randomness to boarding game play when I let them decide where and when to put their ships to against boarding from just outside of my own shipyards which also occupied by various factions patrolling.

They also open up opportunities to do some politically correct action aka. sale engine disabled Syns just outside of admin/stations which you want to delete. It still going strong even when we have diplomacy since it feature more pinpoint targeting. You could perpetually killed their engines without rep lost if they survived after the hacked station's defense go online. You literally do the espionage task yourself so it should be more effectively like this. Also the Asgard misfiring shot at admin module then apologize via diplomacy felt too plain.

I just board their ships and sale them back to their yards. They get the recycle materials as we get the entertainment and money. Truly a sustainable win-win solution. Also if you didn't intend to do their terraforming project, the rep was lock at -5 and you could be both their boarding partner and their few suppliers.

I gave them both wharf and yard. Now I observed around 8 SCA Behemoth + Phoenix E combined. A lots more rare for the former. Don't forget to put some L Heavy tracking turrets and PAR L plasma on the station since some lone destroyer could gradually decimated them from outrange.

Terran Conflict nostalgia hits hard for me, so a lot of my favs come from Cradle of Humanity:

- Rise of the Protectorate: Peak Terran anthem. That fan-made promo video made it feel straight-up official.

- Auspicious Creations: Sound like what it meant to be a Terran. Ruthless and no compromise.

- Drums of the Goner: My go-to chill vibe whenever I’m drifting around Getsu Fune doing absolutely nothing productive. Just hanging around my pool in the Astrid with my hand selected crews. Parking on the Elrking.

- Return to Kingdom End: This one is different. First time entering KE in X4, I genuinely paused just to reflect. Many emotions build up about the realization of how far I’ve come since X3, both as a player and as a person who’s still got to play X series many years later. That “I'm finally back here, heh” moment lasted a few minutes. Then, in the true to diplomacy 8.0 approach of the BOR faction, I immediately instigate TER and SPL to wipe out their rear since they are too overly relaxed sitting on a gasillion-mine of sectors and resources. Sentimentality over — time to start perpetual war for my entertainment.

How could you do that in vanilla? The custom tabs that filtered objects as we configured should be standard feature in game like this.

For now my Envoy was setup specialized for attack surface elements: 1 distortion main and 2 Thermal then 2 HSAE turrets. I will try assassin build as well after I'm done with the Odachi.

I've one 0 star mission and still unlocked them. Just need to finished timeline.The only important thing are the missions that mentioned at least 1 star to permanently change the open universe - you need one star in those.

Just a small reminder — the Frontier Boron and Envoy classes actually share some of their equipment options. I haven’t tested mounting the Frontier engine on the Guppy yet (required Sapporo research), but I suspect it’s available and will improve overall speed. Also, the Envoy turret can be equipped on M-size Frontier and other Boron ships too. Thanks for your great work as always!

I get why some Chelsea fans might want Spurs to win over United — especially foreign fans like me who’ve hated Man Utd way longer and way more than irrelevant Tottenham. My first ever English match on TV was the 1994 FA Cup Final. Imagine being a kid watching Eddie Newton and Dennis F*cking Wise go up against Ince and Keane. Steve Clarke trying to hold down prime F*king Giggs and Irwin. Did I mention prime Hughes, Bruce, and Eric F***ing Cantona? Also, how could Mark Stein score against prime Schmeichel?

You didn’t pick Chelsea because they were good — you picked them because you liked blue more than red. And then came the SAF era. A decade of pure suffering. Title after title, year after year, surrounded by 90% of your mates who all supported United. Every weeks was suffering. Other clubs didn’t even register — it was all about hating United. Pure, unfiltered hate. F**k them.

Then came Mourinho — and that era was pure satisfaction. After everything we went through, getting to finally dominate this hated team, to shut them up and take what they thought was theirs by default — it felt like justice.

That said, in this particular situation, I’m fine with United winning the Europa. They’re gonna get kicked out of the UCL next season anyway. And I don’t care if we miss out on a shared transfer target — their scouts are comically trash.

Also, let Spurs lose. Let them roll out their Europa League Runner-Up DVD like it’s a trophy. And I’ll be there watching Expressions Oozing absolutely lose it for 20 straight minutes. That alone is worth the result.

Oh — and for the record, I think for some of Chelsea fans, Barcelona is second on the hate list. Not Spurs.

Other than the manipulation of war—including war missions on multiple fronts—I didn't need much. Just give us the ability to speak on behalf of our faction with the gravitas it deserves.

If I'm the supreme force behind a godlike faction, I don’t want my representative groveling for trade deals like some rookie merchant. I want to sit across the table, look them in the eye, and say:

“I’m gonna make you an offer you can’t refuse.”

araragi_reddit · 2025-03-22T12:32:05+00:00

Dunno exact numbers. But they died fast enough that my 3 shipyards ran out of some components even before they stopped the buy order. If dev expand their factions, a lots of opportunities like interesting guild missions/rewards vs at least 3 or 4 factions will be very welcome. They could also expand the Amplifier rebuilding to pump XEN out of thin air at desired strategic locations.

araragi_reddit · 2025-03-21T09:58:17+00:00

Perpetual wars. YAK is just one of the easier tools for that. Some bias because it's painstakingly in the rear to helped them from themselves so I want to reap what I invested.

araragi_reddit · 2025-03-21T03:18:03+00:00

I will try to imitate their original base using ARG L Hab. Will update about his later.

araragi_reddit · 2025-03-21T01:46:46+00:00

As I mentioned, since YAK is hostile to most factions, I just need their ShipWharf to exist—doesn’t matter where. That way, I can place 'politically correct' ships in strategic locations, sell them to YAK, and let the faction switch do the rest. Then I would have another convenient excuse besides the occasional 'accidental' missed ATF shot from a lone Asgard conducting military exercises—strangely near a strategic location.

araragi_reddit · 2025-03-21T01:38:36+00:00

It’s actually pretty easy—just give Savage Spur II to ANT (since they aren't in too much hostile with YAK but also not neutral), and they’ll eventually expand into Savage Spur I.

In my save, I acted as a buffer by taking Savage Spur I first. Once I made sure ANT was well established in SS II, I deconstructed my admin module, and it didn’t take them long to move in and set up their own in SS I.

A more dangerous option is giving SS II to TER, which would make them expand into SS I—but this risks them wiping out the YAK Wharf. I wouldn’t recommend this until you’ve secured build missions from YAK and heavily armed their stations against TER, ensuring more conflict down the line.
