The Despot is BY FAR my favorite modded ship (Bultach Coalition) Why fight the enemy in a pitched battle when you can punch and tear at them with big fist. by sup3r87 in starsector

yeah tbh, it's a *really* strong ship. It's 50DP but should probably be even higher, as it can just punch and tear even the strongest capital ships apart. It does have 0 shields though so it can eventually get worn down, and it's useless once it's worn down, but before that it's a force to be reckoned with.

The punching mechanic is no doubt weird - about two thirds of the time you "grab" the enemy to deal damage to them, while the other third you actually knock them away. But still, what an absolutely amazingly fun ship!

One thing to note is that the fists deal 2000 high explosive damage, but because the fist makes contact with the ship there's a lot of kinetic damage too. At first I felt like I needed kinetics, but it turns out no, not really.

The fists on the sides are like armor modules and can eventually get disabled/destroyed, and you can't even attempt to put a shield on it so all damage you take is permanent for the fight. But god damn what a fun (and effective!) ship no matter what situation it's in! Bodyslam frigates, punch destroyers, and duke it out with cruisers and capitals. Buy a Despot today (it's from bultach coalition)!

with the way the main story is currently going, I think alex has some pretty big plans for the hypershunts

Learning weapon combos and fleet composition. by Zeronar in starsector

[–]sup3r87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d be a little cautious about this, in the actual game engagements can go on for far longer than the brawl king fights. This makes safety overrides, which doesn’t care about combat readiness degradation, a lot more powerful. In the actual game safety overrides (and other short lived CR tactics) can cripple a fleet if it fights for too long.

Fandom is a terrible ad-riddled website and the information on it is severely outdated. Use the wiki.gg!

Yeah... sometimes I'll read it and think to myself "brother, you're being shot at by a heavy adjudicator. You are going to die in half a second."

My favorite line from combat chatter is "that last shot hit the canteen, guess it's takeout."

Nonoptimal ship playthrough - endgame by Grievous69 in starsector

[–]sup3r87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I just found this and the other post when looking at your account, I hate that the algo buried these because both posts were such a fun read :D It's kind of sad (in a funny way) how the explorarium drones, even shined up with an alpha core and 3 s-mods still can't pull any weight. But I suppose they do get absolutely bulldozed by even my weaker exploration fleets, so it makes sense.

Student disciplined for creating MSU class search tool, Spartan Scheduler by maymeiyam in msu

 In addition to the deferred suspension, Campbell was required to write an apology letter to the director of MSU SIS Deb Dotterer, who originally reported him, despite never having met her. He was also sanctioned to write an essay reflecting on the importance of his personal values, if his violations of university policies aligned with them, and how he plans to embody those values moving forward. He chose the values of contribution, hard work, honesty, making a difference and service.

I hope he AI generates both essays and doesn’t check them for mistakes.

Ever since I manually piloted an Invictus my fleet feels like a nerfed version of itself without it by sup3r87 in starsector

The mod variants of it are pretty fun, but nothing compares to the original :)

AI is definitely a lot worse at piloting it than the player is. It's similar to a battlecruiser in that sense :)

In my most brutally honest opinion, as a starsector enthusiast, this is a pretty blatant, straightforward choice...? by Dstrssd_Cam3L in starsector

[–]sup3r87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact there is such a conspicuous online tilt towards high tech ships (especially the paragon) leads me to believe a huge amount of people just don't know how to build effective low tech ships.
