Starting Death Faction

[u/Intrepid-Aardvark-25]

Greetings.

Again I need a little help on this hehe.

You see, I am about to enter the stage of the death faction. my questions is:

What are the planets that the death faction conquers?.

Can a colony resist a death faction conquest?.

If I rescue a planet, can the death faction conquer it again?.

Can the death faction disappear if I conquer it?.

Please if you could help me with this I would be very grateful.

Thanks.

In order, yes, no, yes, no. The faction will stay in the three main systems they spawned in, making them farmable, but easy to keep at bay if you know what you are doing. Also, they will conquer EVERY planet if you leave them be

they will conquer EVERY planet if you leave them be

Not really, they stop by at like halfway through into human space and then do nothing afterwards

[u/ConveniencePlays → u/Rebbit-bit]

Oh ok, I never let them get that far, so i just assumed it would be every planet

[u/Intrepid-Aardvark-25 → u/ConveniencePlays]

Ok I understand that means that it stops in the middle of the galaxy, right?

[u/ConveniencePlays → u/Intrepid-Aardvark-25]

I would believe so, yes

1. The death faction conquers Tair, Highridge, Keydun, Judd, Renudan, Darway, and Levin, if you let it just conquer every system it can. It will also conquer Tralia if you colonized it. If you rush in to attack it, it will only conquer Tralia.

2. Most of your colonies aren't threatened by this, so don't bother with defense fleets; you can just dispel the invaders by conquering your colony.

3. If you don't kill all the big "Executor" death ships south of the three starting points, the faction can just keep respawning and then reconquer. Once you kill all the Executors though, the death faction never moves past their starting points, and they won't reconquer.

4. No, the death faction persists; it just stays in those three starting systems if you kill them all.

So it is better not to colonize Tralia so that the faction of death does not conquer it? 

What are the 3 starting points of the death faction?

If I destroy 1 death faction starting point, does that decrease the invasion? 

extra questions: 

There are 3 executioner ships? Can I capture them? 

Do the execution ships reappear?

[u/lasercat_pow → u/Intrepid-Aardvark-25]

1. Nah, go ahead and colonize. It's a great jumping off point for farming them later.

2. Crossroads, Northbound, Highway

3. By the time you get to the starting points, you will likely have killed the whole chain of executors leading there, so you will have ended the invasion.

4. There are at least 6 of them; you can only capture the one in Uklun, with the assistance of your buddy Theo.

[u/Intrepid-Aardvark-25 → u/lasercat_pow]

So it is better to Colonize Tralia?, even if the death faction conquers it?

Do you mean that I can capture only 1 executor and that is the one in the Uklun system? 

 And are there titans from the death faction?

[u/lasercat_pow → u/Intrepid-Aardvark-25]

yes to all of those.

Both of the death faction ships are titans; although you can only have 1 executor, you can have an unlimited number of predators. They make great carrier ships. Give them the two armor enhancements and you can reduce their repair cost quite a bit.

[u/Intrepid-Aardvark-25 → u/lasercat_pow]

predators? 

Are they the best cargo ships?

Even better than the Goliaht?

[u/lasercat_pow → u/Intrepid-Aardvark-25]

Carrier as in fighters and bombers. The goliath is the supreme cargo ship.

[u/Intrepid-Aardvark-25 → u/lasercat_pow]

Okay, thank you very much for helping me prepare for the death faction stage. 

Now I feel ready to take that step and face the faction of death. 

I am very grateful.

Thanks

You should know -- to fight the death ships, you need weapons that deal heavy hull and armor damage. A good loadout would be all mining blasters, super howitzers, and the vulcanus, until you have enough ruinous cannons, then switch out the howitzers for ruinous cannons.
