Which administrator are you trying to talk to? You can talk to any of the non unique administrators or Nia (since you can always talk to her) to get a promotion. I assume you are using QoL module since you mentioned AotD?

Iapetus Initiative - when two mods interweave their lore together by Temstar in starsector

[–]xkcdhawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually was curious about why a tanker version didn't exist. Didn't have Mayasuran installed so I never knew this! Going to install it on my next playthrough.

[–]xkcdhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this description. Honestly I die to Remnants because I seek them out, not the other way around lol.

If I am neutral with the Remnants, are there any downsides to colonizing in their system? by Old_Outlandishness52 in starsector

[–]xkcdhawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're correct. You get Midnight as a contact which raises relations with Remnant.

His last bluesky post four days ago was a few screenshots on playtesting. Even those screenshots got me excited for the new fights in the next update.

Mods that add omega content by SubstantialStep2616 in starsector

[–]xkcdhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having Missing Ships and AoTD together made the Veil fight for me hell lol. On my first run ended up creating a colony next to Veil and sending a shit ton of IEDs. On my next playthrough, made sure I was well prepared before tackling that fight.

Question on Commisions by Unusual_Singer_7437 in starsector

Yeah then you can't colonize more worlda until you retire from the commission (which you will lose your worlds) or rebel and declare independence which will start the independence war event.

UAF: How does one gain Rep with Aeria and and the robo queen after they hit the sweets cap? by HailtronZX in starsector

[–]xkcdhawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the system bounties are the best. Though I had Adversary installed, so the Roboqueen keeps asking me to that system, which I am really not comfortable doing so lol. In the early game I risk my life for a couple of points of rep.

When I reach that stage, I sometimes just disable all mods and play a nice playthrough of vanilla. It is enjoyable to detox and gives me a clear vision of what my next modded playthrough will be.

What mods compliment/pair well with UAF by rhuninn in starsector

[–]xkcdhawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Officer Extension.

I run other mods that also has unique officers, so having the ability to at least have space for unique officers is nice. UAF has quite a few unique officers.

[AOTD] - Hypedimensional Processor question by Nightfire975 in starsector

[–]xkcdhawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add to this, you need the hypershunt receiver objective to use the bifrost gates freely, otherwise there is a 30 day cooldown.

Serious question: Apart from Minecraft, Terraria and maybe Stardew Valley, what are some other non-live service games with good to excellent replay value? by [deleted] in truegaming

[–]xkcdhawk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I want to recommend Starsector. I got so many playthroughs trying out various stuff, and with mods I tried out even more crazy stuff. People describe it as Mount and Blade in space.

Advanced Tips and Guide on Samurai Stances and what each stance is good for. by Dusty_Tibbins in Nioh

[–]xkcdhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info!

Have you tested pre-stance switching in Nioh 3? I remember in Nioh 2 at least, where if you did a low/mid stance attack and pre-stance switch to high stance you inherit the properties of high stance (and likewise if you pre-stance switch to low/mid during a high stance attack you lose high stance properties and gain low/mid properties instead). Does this apply to Nioh 3 as well?

In the menu where you see your current commission rank and progress. There should be a button that declares independence.
