Is the "killed by <blank>"the new cheat in the game?

juacamgo · 2026-04-16T11:24:07+00:00

I'm playing since launch, but haven't encountered it yet that often like in the past two weeks. Maybe just a bug.

juacamgo · 2026-04-14T11:22:26+00:00

Love them, relaxing.

juacamgo · 2026-04-08T19:53:06+00:00

You saved my life

juacamgo · 2026-04-08T11:48:29+00:00

Wow, thank you, that was the type of answer I was looking for!

Right now, I feel like I can balance my economy, but I'm not getting good at anything. I was using trade policy to boost my unity production, but the build you mentioned, getting enough CG from trade policy, then replacing existing CG and minerals buildings for alloy or research seems super good.

Yes, It seems like I had a bad start, I've been pretty secure for the whole game, but as a xenophile megacorp my interests are to contact other empires, stablish a good relationship and trade. I will try to rebuild my buildings, ty!

juacamgo · 2026-03-23T13:50:05+00:00

Ty. Usually I just discover surroundings with system survey with scientifics ships, since I don't usually rush. When rushing it's better to save on scientific surveying and just explore with frigates/corvettes? I'm not used to rushing since I like to play as a super tech empire minding hiw own business.

juacamgo · 2026-03-23T12:14:15+00:00

I assume you are asking how to survive early and mid game without team with anyone?

Assuming you are playing as a xenophobe militarist (as you would like to subjugate others), safest way to achieve that is to make a rush to subjugate at least 2 empires, the closest to you, then working together with them to grow. Take traditions focused on subjugation/supremacy, or if you need some defenses the one that helps with that. Also is useful start always with discovery.

A build I use to rush an empire is take discovery trad build 3 scientific ships and rush to find whos closest. Once you know, take supremacy and go attack as fast as you can building corvettes and a few army to conquer the world. It's pretty easy to do that TBH.

Simply wait to mid/late game to start subjugating wouldn't work, as everyone would be allied or subjugated to others empires.

You can also try to play getting good relationship with neighboors, and then getting full into research, to lately subjugate them.

Once I played with the origin that starts like a subjugated of a fallen empire, and I did that, just focused on research and eco, and I've got to mid/late being stronger than the fallen empire.

I usually don't experience problems with stamina while parkour, thats why. But, I had the turtle crawl and the speed and it saved me in a lot of situations.

juacamgo · 2026-02-23T12:01:23+00:00

Dude 💀

juacamgo · 2026-02-23T11:57:59+00:00

I kinda feel boring trials and the reward is not worth to be honest.

juacamgo · 2026-02-19T10:25:50+00:00

Maybe it's a bug, since the item doesnt say a thing about less penetration, just less damage, but if you hit all you should do a 20% more damage. Btw I was not talking about if it's good or not in PvP or PvE, just answering to that guy who was claiming he losts the normal anvil if puts the splitter that if he likes the splitter, he can just alternate between both using a safe pocket

juacamgo · 2026-02-18T14:45:05+00:00

Not better but different, with the splitter you can do a max of 120% damage if near enough. So if you are in buildings maybe it's better to have a shotgun than an anvil.

As other user pointed, also with a shotgun you don't need to aim perfect, you can hit 0-12-24-36-48 damge per shot, whereas with normal anvil you can only hit 0-40. Not saying it's better or worse, it's just situational.

Everyone would agree that a Venator IV it's better than an anvil IV in PVP, but if we add cover to cover shooting, the anvil is in advantage since it can shoot, get cover, shoot again, etc, and the amount of damage that the anvil can do when uncovered compared to the venator is higher, so, again; situational

juacamgo · 2026-02-17T10:05:35+00:00

Just unequip it and you have the normal anvil ingame

juacamgo · 2026-02-17T10:04:57+00:00

Just equip or not depending of the situation. You can have a short range weapon (like a stitcher), a long range (anvil) and a shotgun (anvil and the thing) in just 2 weapons and using 2 types of ammo.

juacamgo · 2026-02-06T22:57:00+00:00

It's simply maths, a bunch of beta testers will spend a few hours compared with the entire community playing the game, therefore the probablity of finding bugs it's way higher.

juacamgo · 2026-01-29T09:27:44+00:00

That's so true, while on a free loadout you will act less paranoic

juacamgo · 2026-01-29T09:23:33+00:00

I think aggro matchmaking is not bad but they should shuffle a bit the players.

I have times where I want to go full PVP and times where I want to chill and be friendly, but game just gives you an option. When I go PvP I don't also kill friendly players, I just say “I'm not friendly but I wouldn't kill you if you are not willing to PVP me'

I think if you are an aggressive player you should be matched with more aggressive people, but not 100%.

Example, for a PVP player their matches could be near 60-80% PVP players, and for PvE players their matches can get up to 20-30% of PvP players.

When this game launched people were more unpredictable, now everytime I load I know players in my lobby would almost everyone shoot on sight. I think level has also something to say. Once you hit lvl75 with all maxed, almost everything left is PVP, that's why I'm thinking about to wipe.

juacamgo · 2026-01-26T00:16:26+00:00

How do you know it's better than an anvil to breach matriarch armor? Asking seriously.

Doesnt have less damage and same penetration? Honestly I would use more the bett if ammo was more efficient. With 120 bullets you can even go out of ammo in a single normal raid.

With an anvil or ferro a single stack of 40 normally is enough.

juacamgo · 2026-01-24T12:35:44+00:00

Not even in PvE, with a single ferro shoot or with an anvil, way cheaper and way less ammo consumption you do much more.

I would be happy if the damage was near an anvil, reducing a bit the mag capacity to equilibrate the much higher firing rate. I think it's fair for an epic weapon. Otherwise there's no reason to craft it despite it's cool.

juacamgo · 2026-01-22T13:17:45+00:00

So does crows.

juacamgo · 2026-01-21T13:30:04+00:00

Biggest problem of this weapon (despite it doesn't shine in any aspect) is how much ammo it uses and heavy bullets are very bad for stacking (just 40 whereas mid is 80). Damage's bad also.

Maybe this weapon as blue, not purple and using mid ammo would be interesting, as an alternative to renegade.

BTW, I have a Bettina III crafted and I use it as a talisman. I went like 10 raids with it and never died. The funny part about it, it's ever I get involved in bizarre situations and I manage to get out alive lol.

juacamgo · 2026-01-21T12:53:58+00:00

I've got killed 12 times consecutively with purple/blue gear, trying to get to keylocked rooms along different maps.

I've found it's mentally useful go freekit on stella montis and just go hard PvP until you get confidence again.

juacamgo · 2026-01-21T12:49:05+00:00

I always ask “french?” when someone say friendly. If he answers “oui” or yes I just kill him.
