I am really enjoying it right up til the last couple of systems. The new corvette is especially fun, as having a linked omniweapon is some tactical novelty. Heretic remains frustrating, and makes little narrative sense. The Iocrym are so effective at killing stations that they only serve to prevent ...

These are a wierd series of guns, neither one thing nor the other. Slow enough you need to time your shots at gunships even with the Freyr swivel mount. No WMD for base-cracking. Oddly, the Valjor 220 text says it uses "hard-hitting ion damage, good against capital ships". But with no WMD or rapid-f...

This ship is fun, but needs a tweak. Its big bonus is the Rasiermesser swivel mount, which means you should prioritise boosting up guns that take advantage of that. You don't need 4 guns. You need a couple of good Rasiermesser guns with different damage types. However, it only has 2 device slots, wh...

I was reading the weapon balance update and how it has made short-range WMD weapons more attractive compared to stand-off attacks with missiles and howitzers. It's good, but it doesn't solve what the major balance issue is for me. Short range weapons are dangerous to kill stations with. Missiles are...

I found it now, thanks. The stargate was in the rather sparse asteroid belt, alone rather than next to asteroids. As it wasn't near a planet or in a marked orbit on the map, I missed it. Since my galaxy map wasn't showing more systems, I didn't realise there was a way forward.

I'd got to the encounter with Failsafe, which sounded from the post-fight text like it was meant to be unwinnable. Except I didn't realise this until I'd already blown up Failsafe (Hell Yeah, Baiyu Archcannon :D) . I then got the mission to take Lilith and kill a Dreaming Stronghold. Fair enough. Bl...

Are you talking about the Refuel option there or the Armoury one, as I recall the Refuel option being 0 credits on previous version once you reach an appropriate rank.

Yeah, this made an escort mission horrendous because the only range at which I could see the Sandstorm Gunships was when they were pretty much on top of the freighters I was guarding. It breaks anything where you need to protect a ship and it decides to fly through a nebula.

I was running the CSC missions, and buying fuel for my 500MW reactor. I then got promoted to Master Sergeant, and the Refuel option then changed to say "This station does not have fuel suitable for your ship's reactors". Nothing had changed on my ship setup, the only change was the promotion. I am a...

I found one of these, then swiftly remembered why I never used to use them. They do more damage than an ICX, but's that's not really the point of an anti-missile gun. The projectile type is slower and smaller, and it's generally worse than the ICX as it has the same rate of fire and it misses a lot....

In v1.5, it seems the ship no longer prefers to dock at your target, but instead picks the nearest valid docking object. This is especially problematic in Commonwealth Trading Posts, which I can't dock with as the ship keeps trying to dock on the Turrets, rather than the Trading Post I deliberately ...

I'm noticing a general lack of fuel. There seem to be far fewer of the ship types that have fuel, and the First Hunters and Resurrectors don't appear to ever drop fuel rods. I'm relying hugely on buying it and a Solar Array. Normally by a few systems I am swimming in fuel from hunting Missileships, ...
