Btw I'm not an egomaniac, it's already hard to find some posts here so I added something on the side to make it easier to find if needed. Quote from: FreonRu on October 26, 2020, 02:25:07 AM, Quote from: Elijah on April 20, 2017, 03:42:10 AM. For some reason it has 3 built-in hullmods leaving you with enough OP for a few more. Also I think ships in Starsector can greatly change depending on who's piloting it, so there's going to be 2 ranks usually (when it makes a difference), first one always being in hands of AI, after all AI commands all but one ship, and the other score will be for a flagship. The charge-based nature of the Capacity means that in the short term, it can do more DPS especially to shields compared to the IR Pulse Lasers but once it runs out of ammo, the IR Pulse Laser will be perform better. At least it's very cheap to maintain. Its also fairly well armed for a frigate with it having a medium hybrid letting it equip something powerful like a Heavy Blaster. . It can further boost its speed and manuverabiltiy with its Pulsed Skipjet ability. Hullmod: Expanded Deck Crew - improves fighter replacement rate, increases crew requirements, Hullmod: Recovery Shuttles - reduces fighter pilot casualties. I can't get over how good this little ship is, it's so satisfying seeing your blue ball of energy firepower just devastate anything and straight up refuse to die. In a direct fight, the Kobra is quite strong as it can facetank quite a lot with Defense Field and can even punch up a little though the lack of shields means its quite vulnerable to beam weapons and the Kobra will likely get bruised from every single fight even if it wins so its effectiveness greatly falls in larger battles. Omen is one of those frigates you can use from the beginning of the game, to the very end. Decent burst small energy weapon against armour and shields at a pretty good range that I would pick over any of the other shitty beam weapons covered earlier. And very often you will notice just how quickly it dies. ._2a172ppKObqWfRHr8eWBKV{-ms-flex-negative:0;flex-shrink:0;margin-right:8px}._39-woRduNuowN7G4JTW4I8{margin-top:12px}._136QdRzXkGKNtSQ-h1fUru{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;margin:8px 0;width:100%}.r51dfG6q3N-4exmkjHQg_{font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.5px;line-height:12px;text-transform:uppercase;-ms-flex-pack:justify;justify-content:space-between;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center}.r51dfG6q3N-4exmkjHQg_,._2BnLYNBALzjH6p_ollJ-RF{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex}._2BnLYNBALzjH6p_ollJ-RF{margin-left:auto}._1-25VxiIsZFVU88qFh-T8p{padding:0}._2nxyf8XcTi2UZsUInEAcPs._2nxyf8XcTi2UZsUInEAcPs{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-widgetColors-sidebarWidgetTextColor)} Hyperion; The most feared and expensive frigate, comes with three medium mounts, a unique teleporter system, excellent shields and good flux systems. Starting with the best S-tier, with exceptional ships, going down to A with solid picks and down the alphabet, ending up with D-tier, filled with outclassed ship hull options. Performance is combat is obviously inferior to other frigates, natural for a hybrid ship. Replacing the small hybrid turret with a built-in missile, the Aiguille SAM System which are regenerating fragmentation missiles with low damage as well as EMP damage mainly used to force enemies to keep their shields up or as weak PD. Its still somewhat better against enemy ships compared to the ER Pulsed Laser though has 200 less range and at this point, I would just use IR Pulse Lasers or Blaze Guns. I didn't consider the Conquest's jets cooldown to be a major factor, but given your direct experience, I'll go with your interpretation. Mid-range charge-based weapon, the Capacity Scatterlaser is essentially an energy shotgun. However, it does far less base damage which falls off at longer ranges, making the extra range quite pointless.

They are unlocked by spending Skill Points, which are earned upon leveling up, up to a maximum of 15 for the player and 8 (or 9) for Officers. Fast ships can use their speed to quickly jump in and unload the Auto Hybrid Blaster before retreating, minimizing the weaknesses of the weapon. It is heavily based on and inspired by the many great tier list of the base game made by user Grevious69, who was inspired by the tier lists made by user PureLSD. Despite the flaws, it is still a capable ship that can take advantage of openings really well, just don't expect them to survive most fights. Medium energy PD, its similar to the Heavy Burst PD. **The base minimum armor value is 5% of the max armour value. They are very cheap to purchase and field. Wayfarer; A larger freighter, normally unimpressive though can shine in the right hands. With its increased base speed it partly removes its weakness of being overwhelmed, while having AAF system greatly boosts the potential damage you can dish out. Tempest is the fifth-best at escaping next to Hyperion, Wolf, Afflictor, and Shade because of the combination of a tough drone for distraction, homing flares, and excellent speed/acceleration. StarSector Wiki is a FANDOM Games Community. Its only downside is its 6 deployment cost makes it a significant addition to whatevery ship you want to defend. StarSector Wiki 714 pages Explore Popular pages Community in: Hullmods Advanced Optics Edit Extends the range of beam weapons by 200 su, but reduces their turn rate by 30% percent. The Kobra has no shields, instead it has Defense Field during which damage taken is greatly reduced though weapons are disabled, similar to the Centurions Damper Field. Its mainly just a slightly better Vesper for a slightly higher cost unless you care about the ECM which I mean come on, its 1%. I look forward to the next round of ships. Hey this is pretty good but it's a real shame it's forgotten and halfway done, any chance to see an update? Shade and Afflictor give Tempest a run for its money, but again Tempest wins because of the fact that the drone effectively doubles its flanking effectiveness. Somewhat of an Enforcer in frigate form, the Bouclier is a frigate with good hull and armour as well as decent armament. Quick ship, weapon & fighter guides, for when you need some help choosing them. Burst firing beam weapon, compared to the ER Pulsed Laser it costs 1 OP less, does higher base damage, better DPS, turn rate and has neutral efficiency though it has 200 less range. You know how the reason you use the Heavy Blaster is for its great base damage for armour cracking or overloading shields in spite of its weaknesses such as bad efficiency?

Hullmod: Hardened Shields - reduces damage take by shields, Hullmod: Integrated Point Defense Al - small non missile weapons act as point defense; PD not affected by decoy flares, Hullmod: Integrated Targeting Unit - increases weapon range, more so for larger ships Most importantly, its beams dont arc over shields to deal damage nor have a chance to arc to weapons and engine to deal extra EMP and energy damage on hits to armour and hull. Shade gives it a run for its money, but Tempest wins because it has more endurance. Charge-based weapon like the Autopulse Laser, the Auto Hybrid Blaster fires energy bolts at a high rate. Ever let a couple of Omens run amok before a huge fleet? Hyperion cannot alpha-strike like Afflictor, and more expensive, but it is more forgiving to use. The rapid-fire nature of it alongside its poor efficiency means almost no ship has the flux to use it, even a Paragon struggles to fire multiple of them at the same time.

Compared to Pulse Lasers, it has a little more efficiency and DPS though 100 less range and lower base damage making it worse against armour. This is exactly the same thing that the shepherd does in the early-mid game, except the monitor can do it throughout the campaign. Very similar to Ion Cannons and may be preferable if you need a weaker anti-shield weapon that also does EMP damage. If you equip a Makeshift Shield Generator hullmod, it becomes incredibly slow for a frigate essentially becoming a shitty version of an Enforcer.

Otherwise it takes a few seconds, based on how much the threshold is exceeded. Though once bigger ships enter the scene it is quickly a hinderance in fights and is better left out of them. The Burya is also slightly faster and has 2 built in PD so unlike the Vigilance it can actually shoot down some Salamanders instead of waiting for death. But having a wing of Borer drones orbiting it means there's always going to be some damage dealt to nearby enemy ships. I'll have to try that, lol, maybe it and the starter Shepherd? Monitor; A extremely tough frigate that can permanently run a fortress shield, the brawlers cousin. *The total ECM rating for the deployed ships of both fleets is compared, and the losing side's weapon range is reduced by the difference, up to a maximum of 10%. (12/10/21); In-development patch notes for Starsector 0.96a (12/04/23). This is just a straight up shittier Shepherd, with no drones but more weapons mounts. Starsector 0.95.1a is out! Stay away from this toy gun. The Ziggurat is a unique phase capital ship encountered at the Alpha Site as part of the Project Ziggurat quest, where it is an extremely dangerous enemy. And PPT problem is solved by simply swapping multiple Afflictors. The reason it isn't in a higher tier is because large fights demand much more of a basic frigate, and unfortunately it doesn't have neither speed nor defenses to survive those.

As the Ziggurat is a unique, distinctive ship, while it is in the player fleet other fleets will always recognize . After defeating it, the ship can be recovered in a somewhat weaker form for player use. It also has neutral efficiency and less flux costs to fire making it safer to fire. Hullmod: Neural Integrator - specialized Neural Interface for automated ships. Frigates may be a small and sometimes fragile weapons platform, but when utilized correctly they can be very dangerous. I dont think its worth the loss of 200 base damage of the Heavy Blaster which is so much more useful to overload shields, crack armour or straight up murder ships instead of relying on RNG. Does not apply to fighters, affects all weapons including missiles. Skills that improve salvaging, colonization, and the overall resilience of your fleet in and out of combat. However, its still a beam weapon which means it will still need help from a more reliable kinetic damage source and it has negative efficiency and a somewhat slow firerate, making its DPS not great. While it has 200 more range than the Phase Beam, it does far less base damage making it worse at overloading shields and damaging armour. Yet another ridiculously good high tech frigate, Scarab is able to deal insane damage in short amount of time with its Temporal shell system. It is heavily based on and inspired by the many great tier list of the base game made by user Grevious69, who was inspired by the tier lists made by user PureLSD. At least that is how the official histories tell it. I would love to see a guide on the blade breaker sub-faction and UAF! Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. The Shalaika is very weak in direct combat and is mainly Nav Relay fodder as well as light PD at the cost of 4 DP so its probably more efficient to deploy dedicated warships most of the time unless you need the speed boost. Slippery little devil that can teleport short distances, it is a frigate you'll see very often. Medium version of the Blaze Gun, unfortunately its much worse now.

Ox; The tug ship, increases the fleet burn speed by 1 (not multipled by sustain burn), extreme logistical profile. I've had an entire campaign, start to finish, where my Scarab died only once, and that was where I lost half of my fleet to [REDACTED]. Its generally worse as PD compared to the Burst PD because of all this though it can shoot Sabots a little but its poor damage and DPS means it will likely not be able to stop it on its own. For a frigate, Tempest is an A. Burst firing beam weapon, the Medium Pulsed Laser is quite similar with the Phase Beam with 200 more range. (Big, big, guns! This is not for you. The ER Gravitic Lance is not terrible and its somewhat of a generalist beam but I think the other specialized beams are far better. Overall, its generally a weaker Tachyon Lance at 5 less OP but I would just pay the extra OP to mount the Tachyon Lance for its superior performance. ARE YOU A COWARD? Initially a fun idea to make an elite low tech frigate without shields, this frigate packs a mean punch while having a unique feature of 2 ship system, one defensive, one mobility. Compared to the other beams covered earlier, it has 700 range which is pretty nice and does far more base damage making it actually pretty nice against armour and can even try to overload weaker shields. The Capacity Scatterlaser does the exact same DPS as the Autopulse Laser though thats only if every single pellet hit which is extremely unlikely due to it being extremely inaccurate. Player-piloted Afflictor is the most powerful frigate by far. Energy weapons deal up to +30% damage at close range, based on the firing ship's flux level. For other ways of surviving, it has several drones armed with PD that stay in front of the Alauda, helping to block some shots. Its default name is "TTS Xenorphica". Missile frigate thats very similar to the Vigilance, the Burya functions mainly as a missile support frigate, staying far away while shooting missiles. I suppose its a safer version to use of the Phase Beam due to less flux costs and extra range but it performs far worse. Illegal under Domain (and Hegemony) law, and an abomination to the Church of Galactic Redemption, the First AI War saw these creations purged from the Sector. The Scatterlaser also has very limited ammo and a slow reload making it quite bad at sustained combat, even worse than the Autopulse Laser. Guaranteed to draw off at least a few cruisers while your forces flank them. +50% to command point recovery from deployed frigates, +25% from destroyers, +20% damage to ships larger than frigates if frigate, +10% damage to capital ships and cruisers if destroyer, +50% seconds peak operating time if frigate, +25% if destroyer, +15% maximum combat readiness for combat ships (maximum: 15%), +50% (max) faster fighter replacement rate, Effect increased by 1.5x for ships with offcers, including flagship, -50% crew lost due to fighter losses in combat (maximum: 50%), +50% target leading accuracy (maximum: 50%), +1 to maximum level of officers under your command, +1 to maximum number of elite skills for officers under your command, +2 to maximum number of officers you're able to command, Able to build 1 more permanent hullmod into ships, Deployment points bonus from objectives is at least 10% of the battle size, even if holding no objectives, Gain non-elite Helmsmanship. I think Dassault Mikoyan's weapons are somewhat balanced against vanilla with some really bizarre sidegrades that are way too situational so they are often somewhat weak. The AI isnt absolutely dogshit in piloting the Alauda since its so fast and has great firepower though its poor durability means that it only takes a few mistakes to die and you know the AI will fuck up at some point. Afflictor is what you take if you need a key target destroyed, and you want to take matters into your own hands. 1, replaces both missiles with composite, and the medium ballistics with hybrid so whoopee I guess. These ships can also be broken down into three major tech levels: Low Tech, Midline, and High Tech . ._9ZuQyDXhFth1qKJF4KNm8{padding:12px 12px 40px}._2iNJX36LR2tMHx_unzEkVM,._1JmnMJclrTwTPpAip5U_Hm{font-size:16px;font-weight:500;line-height:20px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-bodyText);margin-bottom:40px;padding-top:4px;text-align:left;margin-right:28px}._2iNJX36LR2tMHx_unzEkVM{-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex}._2iNJX36LR2tMHx_unzEkVM ._24r4TaTKqNLBGA3VgswFrN{margin-left:6px}._306gA2lxjCHX44ssikUp3O{margin-bottom:32px}._1Omf6afKRpv3RKNCWjIyJ4{font-size:18px;font-weight:500;line-height:22px;border-bottom:2px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-line);color:var(--newCommunityTheme-bodyText);margin-bottom:8px;padding-bottom:8px}._2Ss7VGMX-UPKt9NhFRtgTz{margin-bottom:24px}._3vWu4F9B4X4Yc-Gm86-FMP{border-bottom:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-line);margin-bottom:8px;padding-bottom:2px}._3vWu4F9B4X4Yc-Gm86-FMP:last-of-type{border-bottom-width:0}._2qAEe8HGjtHsuKsHqNCa9u{font-size:14px;font-weight:500;line-height:18px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-bodyText);padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px}.c5RWd-O3CYE-XSLdTyjtI{padding:8px 0}._3whORKuQps-WQpSceAyHuF{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;line-height:16px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon);margin-bottom:8px}._1Qk-ka6_CJz1fU3OUfeznu{margin-bottom:8px}._3ds8Wk2l32hr3hLddQshhG{font-weight:500}._1h0r6vtgOzgWtu-GNBO6Yb,._3ds8Wk2l32hr3hLddQshhG{font-size:12px;line-height:16px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon)}._1h0r6vtgOzgWtu-GNBO6Yb{font-weight:400}.horIoLCod23xkzt7MmTpC{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;line-height:16px;color:#ea0027}._33Iw1wpNZ-uhC05tWsB9xi{margin-top:24px}._2M7LQbQxH40ingJ9h9RslL{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;line-height:16px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon);margin-bottom:8px} My BEST SHIP tier list in StarSector [Fast Guide] Uran92 4.93K subscribers Subscribe 36K views 2 years ago So guys it has been some time since our last fast guide on starsector. I have the feeling the Monitor would be more likely to be marked as EX since there's nothing it can really be compared to (with the possible exception of the Paragon, and maybe the Centurion), but I can't say for sure. Its base damage is a little lower than Light Mortars but has a much higher DPS and with good efficiency.
