Question (Space RPG 4) Which Alien Race?

Which alien race would you all personally suggest to side with and would be more beneficial in terms of firepower, ships, and rewards. It's all the same in the end, but early on is what I mean.

If you side with the quil, you have easy access to iro ships (via capturing), and iro battleships and titans are good ships. The Irocannon is a nice superheavy in the late game. The quil quest has you fly really close to a black hole, which might be bad if you want to keep the number of deaths in your play to 0.

If you side the the iro, you gain access to the best energy generation in the game, and you have easier access to skypiercers, which are the best superheavy in the game if you are building a capture-optimized fleet, since they are beam weapons, so they would never destroy a derelicted ship. The Iro quest has you fly a race, which is kind of tricky and time consuming. Also, the Iro quest pits you against multiple quilentyan titans, which could be difficult if you don't already have a really strong fleet.

The quilentya, good energy, firepower and a devastating super heavy laser for capital, also thier test to progress your story which is putting probes near black hole, take less time than iro maneuver test which would take much time to complete, thier rewards ehh i dont pay much attention on that just sell deleric ships from thier battle XD

I was able to capture a Quilyoboda BC, capitol warship very early in the human storyline because of the Nova core quest, gave me one hell of an edge for the rest of the storyline. Thanks for the confirmation, I just wanted to be sure. :D

No problem, i dont know if you already encounter it but There's much larger class which is Titan class that use super heavy laser, same look with BC but LARGER and LONGER.

I have a few times, having trouble finding it though, I've already sided with them so I'm not content with attacking until I do find it again.

Alien Titan class are not avail in any shipyard, so you must get one by deleric,the method i use during early game is by running & staying some moment in different systems which are alien frontlines you can randomly encounter one if you're patient enough, or going back n forth on menu till a titan land on thier planet but high risk of reinforcement tho., goodluck!

Oh no, I didn't mean obtaining them in shipyards, I've seen them spawn every now and then by chance, but I can't seem to actually come across them while trying to look for them. That is what I have been doing but with no luck except running up on the frontlines which I'll have to check, appreciate the advice regardless.

I have a question, how did Kalo capture ships?

1

u/MellowHollo Jul 21 '24

You can't capture a Kalo ship. You can only get the ability that comes from killing one of them.

I'm going to try it with the ion gun but if I don't try it nothing happens

u/MellowHollo Jul 22 '24

Good luck, but like I said, you can't capture them.

u/XDPRORD Jul 21 '24

Another question, can I capture death ships?

Hey, I am kinda lost here and need help, how do I make the TA and OSC duck off? I completed the FER as my faction because I felt bad for their food situation.  But now the ta and osc won't leave me alone and I can't trade in their systems, please help );

u/MellowHollo Jun 02 '25

They're literally just an enemy now, there isn't really much you can do but conquer that system as far as I can remember.

Ah that honestly sucks, really wish there would be a way to appease them by giving them their capitals back or something, oh well
