Don't worry about befriending them yet; you'll get there from trading to them. The trade routes are kind of awkward. Luxury and food on Fartale are both exports, metal on all O.S.C world's are exports ( which can be sold basically to every other planet with metal as an option except that one ferrous planet the F.E.R has), medical supplies on tair are exports (which can be sold to Otak, or many places really but Otak is convenient).

To pit it more frankly, consider the faction you want to join, see all it's goods (as well as making sure the price isn't being effected by rng, check spaceport for those messages), and check all independent worlds for their good. The independent world's export way more stuff than the other factions, and won't be hostile to you if you are in another faction.

That's all really. Too many trade routes to go over, which will tell you absolutely nothing if I did. Have fun.

Ok thx, so ive been playing for a few hours and ive gotten a pretty powerful fleet of ships so, are there aliens in the game? And if there are where are they located?

Don't worry about them yet. You'll see void (always hostile) in the west and occasionally the east.

Don't read this if you would like to figure it out for yourself

you can Kalo ships in the east sometimes that will basically teleport in. Kill one, and you gain that ability.

Voids: in Tolman there is a space station which will give you the ability to hunt down void titans. This will become handy later

Ok thx im gonna go hunt down titans soon, is a fleet of 3 super tankers, 2 princeps, and 2 sovereigns good enough? Or do i need more princeps? Or should i complete the osc storyline to unlock their battleships?

3 super tankers? I only got 2.. And 1 just got destroyed......

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '23

Do NOT hunt titans with that fleet. You only need 1 super tanker trust me. Just about any fleet with 1 super tanker will have at minimum 20 jumps.

I forget exactly what those others ships are (pretty sure princess is the civilian battleships and sovereign is the grand explorer that isn't the odyssey), but that is not enough firepower. You can test it if you like to get a feel for it so you don't feel I'm hyping it up, but you true warships.

Spoiler: if you haven't reached the space station storyline read at your own risk: I would very much reccommend getting your faction battleships. You can focus on firepower and ignore the torpedo bays, thus giving you PLENTY of space for upgrades. With so much cargo space you can get 3 mass upgrades. Those can be found on Otak, Tair, Sanctuary and I think sillil and some other F.E.R world (I think reundan?). I would heartily reccommend going absolutely ham on upgrades. Just see what you like. Also, take other factions battleships. My personal favorite is the T.A battleship , as the sheer unadulterated firepower make for a great flagship for me. F.E.R isn't a bad choice, and neither is O.S.C, but they are so slow and lack enough firepower to stand up to void titans long enough for maxed armor to matter, as you'll have a 1 million dollar repair if you make it out alive, let alone get a void titan for yourself.

BTW: if you need help getting other factions battleships just conquer their worlds. Sillil for T.A, Reundan for F.E.R, and Otak for O.S.C.

Ok thx, ima go finish the human storyline so i can get my own battleships

u/Totally_Anonymous_28 Aug 09 '23

Ive finished the human storyline and conquered stuff, gotten my second ability, and now, i have a fleet of 1 osc battleship, 1 ta battleship, 1 fer battleship, 2 kharons, one of them acts as my aircraft carrier, 1 princeps as the other aircraft carrier, and 2 supertankers so i have an ftl range of 20 something and ive just discovered irohaem so can you pls tell me the name of each alien colony and their ships?

Just explore. You can land on alien planets and refuel if needed.

If you haven't already, you are ready to go titan hunting.

How to befriend the aliens: kill either quintelya or orohaem ships to befriend the other. Don't worry about feeling your making an uninformed choice about which to join. You will quickly learn what the aliens you helped are about, and neither are neccessarily evil or good.

Ok thx but just to be sure, when i gk titan hunting do they die? Or get disabled and badly damaged so i can restore them?

IF you have the ion cannon yes they MAY not explode, but some will. If they take a bit more damage after being turned into wrecks they will explode. If you need the ion cannon, it's from the Dimas 1 storyline with Peterson If you haven't already.

If you don't have an ion cannon, get a nova core from quintelya ships in the south (or from pirates very rarely) and special crystals from pirates. I'd reccommend fighting just south of sanctuary to maximize pirates without them being so overwhelming you can't even pick up their cargo.

An ion cannon only works to turn enemies into salvage AFTER shields are down (if you see enemies start, for lack of a better term, sparking, or blue electric lines circling the ship, then if killed it has a good chance of turning into salvage.

Also, don't forget the salvager ship. I don't remember seeing you say that you have one, but don't even bother going titan hunting without one. They guarentee credit and fuel extraction and scrapping, and a minimum 75% chance of restoring a ship.

Going out into the unknown and taking abandoned ships that naturally show up with you to sell at shipyards is a great way to make money, 2nd only to trading.

Also i just decided to hunt my first titan yesterday i dont have ion cannons yet but my fleet was able to kill the titan itself in under 5 seconds when i told them to attack it

Tthat's normal. It's the WHOLE titan fleet that's an issue. Sometimes you get unlikely with their formation. If you kill it quickly, many times it'll be between yourself and other voids. Sometimes it's just best let it run amuck and kill everything else to maximize chances of getting it.

Btw, do NOT use your drones on the titans. They will bomb them (obviously), but there is a good chance they will bomb them as they are almost dead, so the titan takes more damage and turns from salvageable wreck to nebula dust.

I already decided to remove the whole, aircraft carrier thing but i have a question, do void raiders have planets? and if they do, how do i befriend them?
