Link to Google Document Guide
This guide is available at Googledocs. It uses alot of formatting that is not possible in Steam guides to be as clear as possible. This also gives you to option to copy it your own drive. Go here:

Link to Doc[docs.google.com]
^^ There should be a link directly above here. If there is not, copy the link below, deleting the two spaces (between http and s, and after .com).

http s:/docs.google.com /document/d/10tpvPpR6CdWZK8vdofhDv270j28Y6EgA/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=106489646472916166736&rtpof=true&sd=true

Steam will sometimes instantly delete full links to googledocs for no apparent reason. It may also flag it as malicious. This is kinda crazy, its a bunch of text, but what can I do about it?

Example of what it looks like:

It's a whopping 80 pages of information, and includes stuff on how to build your captain, all the talents in the game as of the most recent patch, what classes synergise well, the differences between ship parts/classes/guns, and tips on how to make money.

Thanks to the heroic work of @Ishikaro, you can also use this new Spreadsheet List[docs.google.com] of all the talents with the descriptions attached, which is sort-able, for those that like more pure data.

Keep in mind: this is JUST the talents data (not the ships stuff, or hints and tips, or captain building, or anything else), and that the descriptions are wholesale copied across, so assume context from the guide, so it's highly advised you read that first, but this is excellent reference if you just want the talents part.



The comments section (and the attached forum thread) will show the most recent updates/changelog (this steam page may not show updated; that's normal, so look below).

IF YOU LIKE IT, UPVOTE IT! I don't care about my popularity, but stars on guides and top visibility is purely down to that on Steam, so the more upvotes the more its gets recommended to people. Simple as.

Ah fair enough, thank you for the rundown on the Huntress. :)

Glad you're all enjoying it.

@Chisato I don't cover every component, just the key ones provided by factions you might not want to lose out on, and the Best In Slot weapons. From 349 specifically, The Vanguard from that patch is already mentioned, though the DSX Plasma is Medium-size, and so still loses out a bit to the Interceder, though it's not bad. 349 didn't add ships.

If you're talking about 358 (newest), then Alistair Huntress is in a weird spot for a 9K. Buying a carrier off Moklumnue is a bit odd, as you can't get good craft off them, its very expensive, and it doesn't offer big advantages over a Harbinger as a Supercarrier base. So I've not mentioned it.

Gosh this guide is amazing, thank you for all the work you've done. v3.4.9 added a new ship and some new components, would it possible for you to take a look and update the guide (if relevant)?

Again, thank you.

Thank you for writing/updating such an amazing guide, and making it easier to return to the game after a long break.
