The philosophy of this mod

"You start small, with no premade ship and limited blocks. Struggling to survive earlier on relying on evasion, with the teleport ability, but eventually gathering enough R and C to start your "upgrading strategy", which might differ from player to player. You have access to "farming" with the seed planter for 1500C (10x less without S.S.S...). Things might cost more (if you use S.S.S...) but farming and gathering can turn the tables. "Hard mode" when starting, yes, but unlimited potential..."


This mod assume you have some experience in building effective ships. As such, it does not "hold your hand" with premade ships like in the other playable faction...

Here a few things you might consider:

1 - In the very beginning, you will need to gather R and convert it to C at the starting station. You can also make a run for a deactivated station to gain quick C.

2 - At this stage, teleport is your friend! Use it! Often. To get out of trouble and to quickly maneuver past obstacles... When in trouble, hide under the station shield umbrella.

3 - You have access to many different "cores" shape. Note that, because of current Reassembly limitation, you cannot easily switch from one core to another. Copy a design with the core you want to use and simply edit it. If you are switching core type on your active ship, the current blueprint will remain active but your ship won't reassemble if it takes damage. The only way to rebuild it with the new core you have chosen is to destroy it by crashing into something, let an enemy blast you into the (gamma) void or by using the auto destruct function.

4 - Once you have some C, begin your "upgrade strategy". Better thrusters, some R containers, a generator and capacitor. Focus on those first. Capacitors can help you increase a ship maximum energy. They are lightweight and small. Use them to allow a bigger and heavier ship to teleport. Teleportation require 4 energy per mass unit...

5 - Create a few simple blueprints. The starting station will spawn them and they will be more effective than the barebone ships.

6 - Consider using seeds farming with the "Seed Planter". This is the easiest way to quickly gather R.

7 - Unlock a factory block and build a fleet to help you in combat. Computer controlled allied ships have impossible to match (for a human) aiming and maneuvering skill...

8 - You can define "rooted" structure blueprint and they will spawn on asteroid when you control a sector. This can be very useful for defense!
