12/22/2023 0 Comments Endless sky ships turn into wrecksas a post game reward the pirates could sell some alien, or demi-alien pirate reverse engineered tech (ie: pug bio weapon defenses loaded into hand grenades at obviously reduced effectiveness as an upgrade to nerve gas, yes I saw those) as a reward instead of the syndicate tech, and maybe for extra fun the pirates start getting jump drives and could fly around with a mishmash of stolen alien tech (though there's a probability they would be friendly with the player instead of hostile) Insert Pug storyline: similar to free worlds but in a different location (preferably 2 different locations depending on whether player or the free worlds started using nukes first)įree worlds collapse and return to republic, creating a bigger swathe of pirate worlds ( a loose pirate confederation government?) in the south or a new united warlord's empire as a government, in place of the free worlds, and a somewhat bigger republic. Or *opt not to use nukes and push the free worlds back until they get desperate and utilize nukes* or a combination of both.Ĭore storyline alternative, you push into free world space and have 2 choices: A: *implement nukes in order to push the free worlds back* and face an easier fight. capturing/ 'liberating' some planets from governmental 'restrictions' either by capturing them for said pirate factions, or by disrupting their supply lines so much that the planet falls to anarchy. The Wanderer ships are pretty good as well when they start gearing up for war, but the Heliarch Punisher edges that out slightly IMO.So I enjoy off beat options and after playing the free world storyline I thought about an alternative timeline story for pirates, if there is one I did not manage to trigger it, however I don't know enough coding to make a story of my own, so here goesīecome (eventually via missions and/or 'demanding tribute') or work for a pirate lord by building reputation with pirates via piracy of your own, and with some 'piratey' fluff missions as a prequel.Īs the free worlds break from the republic and start war the player causes havoc on their southern flank in opposition to the anti-piracy story of the free world. Fortunately that's generally after completing Free Worlds storyline just rush the L1.5 Pugs. Unfortunately it gets obsoleted when outrange starts getting obsolete and you have to switch to a ship with more turrets. Inhibitor cannons have nice DPS-to-space ratios but require a lot of gun slots, which is the main thing Weapons Kestrel gives (18 front-facing gun slots!). Weapons Kestrel with tons of inhibitors and only a single anti-missile turret is awesome. I haven’t tried using the weapons kestrel or inhibitor cannons much so I’ll give that a try. I generally don't, though as noted this is a single-player game and this is certainly something you could put in your own personal ruleset. I don’t know if you allow fighters/drones in your solo runs, but the korath fighters/drones have good survivability when used to instantly overheat isolated ships, allowing you to even take down quarg with a human carrier. I haven't tried overheating at all can you provide a sub-guide for this? My own experience with attempts at overheating have generally been trying to get that short-ranged fuel-burning weapon, but it requires packing on a good amount of ramscoops and/or fuel tanks. Flamethrowers are fast and replenishable, and overheating can be used to isolate enemies without even having to cheese the AI’s inexplicable border – overheat one ship then kite the rest away, return, overheat it again, and tow it away until the rest catch up before repeating. I was surprised you don’t mention using overheating, as it’s one of my favorite ways to defeat superior ships. I’ve had my best luck with dreadnaughts, 349s, and punishers (which are surprisingly fast with korath engines!), plus solifuges and carriers if I want fighters. I usually mess around designing solo ships and maxing them out before starting any of the storylines (I’ll absolutely give that single wardragon some help so I can get that punisher immediately). I love messing around with combinations of pulling and pushing weapons to separate enemies. Great post! I play solo too and use similar strategies.
