Thanks for the new vid. I really like to see you to continue where you left the last series.

[@zetsubouda]

I just started this game recently, these guides are great, thank you!

[@lucnederhof2107]

Grumpyyy!! Man I loved the tierlists back in the day. It's exciting to see you cover Starsector again :))

[@arifhossain9751]

If you want some really good carriers, with the caveat that they can't be _directly_ controlled *cough cough* , then you should do the Luddic Path sidequest to get them off of your faction planets by doing them a favor. you will find some Hegemony secrets that will come in REAL handy, provided you can survive...

Fuck yeah, Grumpy's back

[@mkat1868]

welcome back

[@serotonin.scavenger]

Aren't there "drone" type fighters that don't require crew? Iirc they have lower replenish rates (but a hullmod exists, factory something-something, that helps mitigate that)

[@ahowl7mx]

Crew training impacts carriers lot

[@user-ew5og3hj4l]

So @Grumpy how about a Carrier themed playthrough. How that works out against redacted

[@poi9311]

What did they do to the pentagon 😦😦

[@mykhailokeryta120]

What "System Expertise"? Does it affect them?

[@huntermad5668]

But this is 0.97 already😂
But things don't change in in that front so..😅

[@MisterG_Gaming]

0.96 ?

[@GrumpyThumperGaming]

there was another patch?? whatdahell 😭

[@MisterG_Gaming]

@@GrumpyThumperGaming February was the release of 0.97 😉

[@maxstr]

When would you use defensive targeting array? I find it's generally not a good idea to have carriers at the front of the lines

[@GrumpyThumperGaming]

It's really great offensively if you use them to support bombers. You basically get a unit that can fire off missiles, rearm almost instantly, then fire off more missiles.
If you are going to use it defensively, then I would suggest strike craft like the Xyphos or Thunderdrone Interceptor who can protect you from many threats.
