Whether by chance or fate, its prototype space station, the Tiqqun, finds itself cast adrift, a disintegrating ark upon which the remnants of humanity must find sanctuary – and you, Administrator, are at its helm. IXION is a city-builder that requires you to be vigilant, to constantly assess and reassess, to learn and adapt. If you and your crew are to endure, you must confront the perils of space, while at the same time uncovering its secrets and extracting its resources. Danger, however, will come from within as well as without; you’ll need to establish, maintain and develop the Tiqqun’s infrastructure while managing the station’s population, deciding how best to answer their pleas so as to maintain their trust in you and the mission. There are no simple solutions; your actions will have repercussions, now or further down the line. How you deal with those repercussions will be the difference between survival and extinction. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjT4Gbwz9Rc

It's strange to think that starting a 500% threat playthrough is just considered normal at this point. To add some spice we are going with a hire everyone approach, one for every patron, do be aware the list is already locked in so please don't join the patron thinking the name will get added. So far we are off to a decent start, we have 3 SMG's and enough food for three days. Lets pick our place to settle carefully, supporting 389 may not be possible computer wise or game wise but if we die it should be a glorious mess. https://www.patreon.com/FrancisJohn Credits song - Dan Lebowitz - Surrender Simple Sidearms - PeteTimesSix Quick Stockpile creation - slofa Complex jobs - FrozenSnowFox Camera+ - Brrainz Dubs Mint Menus - Dubwise Show draftees weapon - Targhetti Color coded mood bar - PorqueNoLosDos Replace Stuff - Uuugggg Achtung! - Brrainz Simple Search Bar - gguake TradeHelper - TimmyLiang RimHUD - Jaxe Dubs Mint Minimap - Dubwise Blueprints - Fluffy Numbers (patched) 1.2 - Mehni Numbers Trait AddOn - telardo Allow Tool - Unlimited Hugs Colorblind Minerals - tiagocc0 Animal Tab - Fluffy Tainted Renaming - Divinorium Rename Colony - Weibyte Drop all inventory - Captian Muscles (Nathan Harbour) Ground Targeter - AncientGammoner ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5BtUnUq1HQ

Sorry about the delay, youtube did not want to process the video so had to wait until I got back from work to re-upload. Messy as the enemies bodies are this was a fairly handy day, two mechanoid raids that get demolished by the following tribal raid. Then an admittedly terrifying explosive sapper raids with 10 doomsdays that we managed to smash by expending our final orbital bombardment salvo. But we gained 4 doomsdays so I'm going to call it a win. Only 2 days left, we are so close to getting out alive. https://www.patreon.com/FrancisJohn Credits song - Dan Lebowitz - Surrender Simple Sidearms - PeteTimesSix Quick Stockpile creation - slofa Complex jobs - FrozenSnowFox Camera+ - Brrainz Dubs Mint Menus - Dubwise Show draftees weapon - Targhetti Color coded mood bar - PorqueNoLosDos Replace Stuff - Uuugggg Achtung! - Brrainz Simple Search Bar - gguake TraderHelper - TimmyLiang RimHUD - Jaxe Dubs Mint Minimap - Dubwise Blueprints - Fluffy Numbers (patched) 1.2 - Mehni Numbers Trait AddOn - telardo Allow Tool - Unlimited Hugs Colorblind Minerals - tiagocc0 Animal Tab - Fluffy Tainted Renaming - Divinorium Rename Colony - Weibyte Drop all inventory - Captian Muscles (Nathan Harbour) Ground Targeter - AncientGammoner ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCD7EJ0L6qc

It's all about the money in Starsector. It reminds me a lot of X3, Escape Velocity and with a sprinkling of Master of Orion 2. I have found that combat is not nearly as profitable as just trading on the black market or rooting through dead civilizations trash. A couple of specialized fleets allows you achieve both goals cheaply and efficiently. Now I have to stop playing the damm thing, I have some ONI episodes I should have made weeks ago. https://www.patreon.com/FrancisJohn Save game file https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17y71ZDXFuWag3C5DyvNyckF_LYe2-hbS?usp=sharing Location on your computer to put the folder, assuming you installed the game to default folder on Windows 10 C:\Program Files (x86)\Fractal Softworks\Starsector\saves ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao86PSYVLUs
