![]() Some asteroids when destroyed may sometimes expose the nesting places of otherworldly creatures. Traversing space via black holes is more cinematic thanks to new visual effects, you can see interstellar gas clouds up close, asteroid fields are less uniformly spread and feature a wider variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, and the Starship Scanner can now locate asteroids which are rich in fuel resources. It's not just freighters that have been updated. Called the stellar extractor, it automatically harvests resources from deep space, based on the system star classification. For example, its grafted eyes can leech energy from enemy starships, it can use neural shielding to resist hostile cargo probes, and the Wormhole Brain allows the ship a look into the economy and conflict levels on the Galaxy Map.Īnd finally, a new piece of integrated freighter technology has been added. You can evolve the traits and stats of your organic vessels by feeding them from the Fleet Management screen.Īs well as inventory space and general procedural upgrades, the living ship can now evolve. These living vessels are procedurally generated and come in a diverse variety of colors, shapes, and tentacle configurations. You may also now encounter organic frigates. You may now construct external doors and windows in your capital ship, and place internal doors, windows, and walls. Freighter exteriors have been visually upgraded, with enhanced textures, improved colors, and high-detail surface decoration, and civilian freighters encountered across the galaxy are now pre-fitted with a variety of bases, which may be modified and expanded after purchase. While building on a freighter, preview holograms can now be seen through walls, and bases now have access to free placement. These pre-decorated rooms can be customized, or you can use empty room variants and you will have control over decorations.Įxisting freighter bases have been preserved, which means legacy parts are fully compatible with the new set.įreighters now feature specialist crew members such as engineers, biologists, and technicians, and hired frigate captains and squadron pilots will visit your capital ship.įreighter farms will come with specialized cultivation chambers, allowing you to grow rows of crops, then harvest all nearby crops with a single interaction.įreighter bases can now be extended beyond the hull, with observation decks and catwalks, visual variants of base parts can now be placed manually, and existing base parts may now be directly replaced without deleting. Just land on them, and they will be added to your inventory.Once you grab the update, you will notice freighter bases have been completely reinvented, complete with plenty of new parts and themed rooms. Frigates will give you free materials after they return from a mission. Once you're armada is complete, buy the nicest freighter you can find and enjoy seeing your bank account swell.ħ. Money made on expeditions should go towards building your fleet. ![]() Just repair it and, if possible, send it back out with another fleet (if it follows rule #1). It's also handy for when you want to upgrade your freighter. Have a cheap shuttle set aside loaded with gold, silver, platinum, pure ferite, and chromatics to use as your repair skiff. ![]() If you find a support with good stats, don't pass it up, but don't waste your money on crappy supports. I'd recommend the latter because you'll never know when one of your boats is gonna come limping home.īuy at least 6 combat, trade, exploration, and industrial frigates. The easiest way to keep the frigates fueled is to buy dihydrogen jelly and process it into dihydrogen and either buy the tritium or just pew pew some rocks. I've sent 4 combat ships on a trade expedition, but their combined trade score gave them 2 stars on a 1 star expedition. ![]() Only assign ships to expeditions they have a decent amount of points towards. I've found myself making a decent amount of units (current record was around 21 mil from on expedition) so I figured I'd share my rules for fleet operations.
