They all use the same mechanics but have differences in stats or specific ship features that offer incentives to be used in different ways. Starsector features different ship tech that generally operate differently from one another. However you could use some of those caps instead for hullmods to give a boost to your ships stats. However this is reversed for phase ships where you should always max out yourĬapacitors first then your venting systems. A general rule is to max out venting first then capacitors.

Your weapon flux generally shouldn't go beyond double your ship's flux dissipation.Īfter putting guns on your ship, you will usually have leftover OP for capacitors and venting. Make sure your guns don't cost too much in flux so your ship can have room to use their shields and take hits without the weapons using up all their flux. Note that 'Point Defense' weapons need not be considered in this process. You generally want your guns to have a small as possible range gap. It's not a good idea to have a ship whose main guns have long range but the rest of its weapons are very short range. Make sure your guns range are either the same range, or have a small gap. Here are some tips when it comes to making your own modifications: You should eventually learn to fit ships on your own and not rely on autofitting every ship. However it should be noted that autofit makes some very questionable decisions when it comes to certain ships. Once you get a feel for it try modifying.

Often when you get ships they come with no weapons and without some experience, setting them up yourself does not end well so a good idea is to press the autofit button on the refit screen, pick a style and try that. For over 200 cycles, humanity has been losing its grip on civilization and struggling desperately to hang on to what is left.Other notes Autofit/Fitting Together Ships The story of Starsector concerns a dense region of space in the Perseus Arm left relatively unharmed by the calamity that destroyed the Domain.

Now, humanity is scattered in pockets throughout the galaxy, trying to recover from the great Collapse. Entire worlds cut off from the Gate network starve, burn, and tear themselves apart. The comforts of the high age of civilization are but a memory. The interstellar Gate System which binds the space of the Human Domain in a network of trade, industry, and empire collapses in an instant that shatters known civilization forever.
