We embark on a grande adventure to spook the entire galaxy! ...We have GOT to be the most annoying fleet to fight, you imagine? Nothing but phase ships?! ugh, I would hate fighting against that... but, we, are, THAT!
so it's fine.
Featuring DOOM GUY! with a minor appearance from Mr. Shade, Big Daddy Gremlin and The Afflictor.

What does a ghost read? Boooooks!
Hope you cats enjoy the galactic ghost fleet! Love you bye! 🧀
Cheddar, your doom has a really really powerful special ability you can use.
If you press the space bar you drop a purple looking phase mine. The mines can be spammed by mashing the space bar, but thats not even the best thing about them.
The phase mines can also be deployed while your ship is phased. So you can do damage while no one can touch you.
Make sure you don't overload yourself though, since phase mines generate a lot of flux when you use them.
Whaaaaaaat?! How TF did i miss that?! Space bar? That pauses the game though...
@@PapaCheddar Space pauses the game? Hmmm... I might be remembering things wrong here. Check the keybindings in that case. Or maybe the description of your Doom ship. I know there is a key that activates a ship's special ability. On my Mule it was F.
It would engage mobility thrusters.
Ahh yes F then. I got no excuses for not seeing the mines then 😅 i know i read the special ability of the doom. Just apparently didn't click lol
@@PapaCheddar Well don't feel bad about missing it, because when I first started playing starsector I didn't know ship special abilities were a thing.
Btw speaking of ship abilities. I noticed that your main flagship was an Appogee before you made the phase fleet in this vid.
That ship also has a really useful special ability. Flares.
And they cost 0 flux to use. You can spam them all the time with 0 downsides whenever you see a missile headed your way. I don't think the flares work against reaper torpedoes though, since reapers are dumb fire rockets with no tracking system.
So there is nothing that makes the reaper lock onto the flares in the first place.
The Apogee is probably one of my favorites lol. Flare spam ftw! Found it to be such a good anchor for the rest of the fleet.
I've moved past it now but i keep it around for that survey. Nice to have an extra tanky ship around too. The apogee was the only other ship left besides myself against some doritos the other day 😅
You know you're having a bad day when the automatic doors refuse to open for you.
chuck
Phase ships power level depends 100% on how good you are at piloting phase ships.
Thats why I was at a 9% power level... 😂
Takes some getting used to for sure lol
Or a level 7 Cautious pilot with Shield, Missile, and Speed Elite skills
Interesting, I always tried to avoid cautious pilots, unless it was all there was and i just wanted a body lol.
This is the first time I've seen "Gremlins" be effective.
Good Job.
Thanks! I guess you just need enough of them 😅
@@PapaCheddar it's quantity not quality were looking for lol
Thats right! Zerg doctrine!!!
While phasing is part of their abilities I don't think you used any of the systems the ships have. Almost all phase ship abilities are to power up phase playstyle. Afflictor with 2 AM blasters or Reapers can hit F and fire to instantly delete most destroyers/cruisers and then instantly phase back into the ether to drain flux and reposition. Any enemy ship that uses a burn drive can be instantly blammed with Doom mines or you can just place them behind an enemy ship and it will be forced to face its shield towards the mines while you reaper their now exposed front. Also at 17 minutes your ship got destroyed but saved by its Phase Anchor which saves the first ship on your fleet equipped with it that would die is instantly retreated to safety instead.
Yeah i completely spaced on the ships abilities 😂 lol. I'll need to try it again.
Ohhh phase anchor. That makes sense. I was so confused. Thank you! I guess it's braver than retreating, going down with the ship and all. But my bad pilot skills are showing haha.
11:38 there's a very useful skill which lets you take shortcuts for situations like this or when you have to run. it's called traverse jump you should have it (if you picked a specific navigation skill or did some galatia missions)
I do have it haha. Just seldom remember that its there 😂
I haven't tried it but there's a mod that adds phase ships called 'no such organization'. Could be fun!
Right on. I'll have to look into that. Haven't messed with any mods yet. But theres a ton of cool looking ship mods I want to try.
GHOSTED lol
👻
7:12 love to see you doing everything wrong one can with a phase ship against a heavy armored face tanker 95% dmg forward ship. AS A SAMPLE for newbies ofc ^^
If course... Ahem... Totally on purpose for teaching purposes... Ahem...
4:02 "we doin' good" dude you concern me xD
Hahaha 😂 its positive self talk... If you say it enough then it may come true...
I never knew those phase ships had faces until now.
And they're heckin adorable!!!
I tried to do a phase fleet, they are super neat but just don’t fit with my playstyle well at all, what a shame
I feel ya haha. I'm the same way. Its neat to dabble with but i operate differently 😂
The feeling of seeing GRAVITON on the doom makes space pirates sad man. Ion Pulser would do a lot more for it, disable weapons or thrusters would save a LOT of armor and hull. You've already seen the mines comments, the Doom can instant delete most fighters with it and overloaded frigates, some cruisers too. The thing thats scary about the doom is the STAYING power. It can unload all of its missiles and have no way to engage with all of its other weapons, but the phase + mine combo can always apply pressure. The doom with extended CR bonuses, the doom can take part is 1000+ fleet battles and limp away with 100s worth to its name.
I definitely did not use it to its full potential 😅 total skill issue lol. I've only ever dabbled in phase ships. Mainly ziggy which, doesn't really take much skill lol
That's a good Freelancer 2003 inspired game or what i called "Freelancer 2D"
You may be right about that 😂 lol
excelsior from ship/weapon pack, royko from interstellar imperium and excession from apex design collective literally having enought power to solo entire endgame encounters from vanilla and mods if u learn how to use them.
excession is the easiest to learn
excelsior and royko play the same, only that royko has burst main weapon compared to excelsior.
ziggurat doesnt need to be mentioned cuz its powerful as well but from vanilla id say that doom and harbinger are still very solid phase ships.
forgot to mention, i do think ziggurat falls off hard compared to the 3 phase super ships I've mentioned due to the fact that all 3 are fast, they have unique abilities, are smaller so harder to hit, what ziggurat can do is take an accidental hit or more, those 3 cant, more or less, they are unique in how they play and difficult to learn, except for excession like ive mentioned
Interesting. I haven't messed around with mods yet aha. But I've been planning on trying them soon.
So those ships are kind of glass cannons? My biggest complaint about zig is its speed. On my first playthrough once i got to capitals i thought it was super cool to pilot one... Then after countless fights of barely making it to the battle i got bored of them and now pilot smaller ships just so its more fun lol.
@@PapaCheddar yep, royko and excelsior have 150 armor with 750 hull, excession has 1k armor and 2k hull, very agile on all 3, and they all have unique ways on how to obtain them legit, doe console commands for a vid will help with these, excelsior needs the infamous duel of the century mission done in main menu then start as it, royko needs its respective IBB or bounty (better said to understand) needed while im a save where u have to kill it alongside its massive imperium fleet and the unique titam x as well then recover it while excession only needs story done (or skipped with nexerilin) and then cooperative reputation, yeah excession seems tanky for a destroyer at first glance but its armor is very strong against lower non HE damage types due to its interesting hullmod, u might ask how they can take entire fleets alone though, well they repair while phased, excelsior and royko use flux in the sence of literally consuming it to phase and deal higher damage ith higher flux, their ability lets them absorb projectiles to create flux, while excession just deals higher damage at highee flux, generates flux when firing and phasing, its got a force field that can block damage up to 1k-2k (im not sure still) damage, said forcefield regenerates while phased, while dealing damage to armor, hull and shield (only when ability is up); excession gets higher timeflow in phase the more flu,bit has, from 2x up to 10x, excessions ability is to use up its own flux to temporarily make the ship unable to phase at the cost of nulifing low damage projectiles, its forcefield cant block beams or projectiles with a ton of damage like reapers, i lost count how many times ive died to reapers using excession cuz i used ability and didnt see, all 3 play aggressively, the more aggressive u play, the better, but u do have to choose ur target and to learn its weakpoints to easily win, despite my explanation of these ships, to fully understand how they work u gotta try them, they are fun, all 3, keep in mind that excelsior and royko dont really work when theres few projectiles or low damaging ones due to their strength comming in larger battles and they are heavily skill based, as for excession, its shoot until they die, literally, ok im done with paragraph
a tiny thing to note: ai isbnot stupid when it comes to excelsior and royko's usage, it is infact capable and with correct skills it can use them veey well, aggresive/reckless officers work the best
Jeez that sounds op as heck haha. Seems like a good time though, makes me want to try them. I've been messing around with the Hyperion lately but I end up being a little too aggressive sometimes 😂 definitely my playstyle. Sounds like these ships would be right up my alley!
@@PapaCheddar yep, they are fun but their big downside is even the most little mistake can cost ur ship, they do need specific captain skills and hullmods to work, ill let u figure those out, gl!
Awesome, i appreciate you taking the time to let me know about them!
I ran a tyrant from the archean order mod. Really fun but it really doesn't mesh well with other mods. But i learned some stuff about phase ships with that.
I suck with phase ships 😂 one I'd like to improve with for sure. I haven't heard of that mod before either.
@@PapaCheddar archan order is an total conversion mod. The villain faction added by it have some souped up vanilla ships. The Tyrant is a souped up Doom converted to battleship size. It is still quite fragile for a battle ship and taking hits turn down a lot of system but they can be ruinous .
Oh dope. So kind of like nex?
@@PapaCheddar don't really know what Nex is, sorry.
If you are referring to nexerlin, then no. Its a mod that totally replaces the vanilla ships (like for instance the main gun of the onslaught changes and the apogee ship gets an hangar door) with modded versions and rebalance the whole game and CP costs. F
You really need to read the discription of the s-mod Phase anchor. And use the ships ability.
I'll admit that i fall short on the reading part of many games haha 😂
@@PapaCheddar Though I have to admit seeing your reaction to not blowng up and retreating because of phase anchor is funny. XD
I'll call that mission accomplished then haha
You should try vanguard heavy frigate fleet,its bonkers
Just crazy OP? How do you build them
@@PapaCheddar feels like a destroyer/cruiser and has the dp cost of a frigate,build it as aggressively as you can,mine have atropos dual torps with expanded missle racks ,railguns,mortar and dual machineguns and bunch of other stuff as ship modules:
https:/ /i.imgur .com /ZJPXrD3.png (PS. Ignore green builtin mod,its modded but the premise is the same)
Spammable missiles! Medium slot is pretty dang good on a frigate. Would be a fun one to try. I can see how it would smash haha
@@PapaCheddar it has only small slots,no med slots,sorry :/
Oops aha. I looked at one earlier but must have remembered incorrectly
They need to be mobile
After the fact i thought about putting SO on some of them for that boost. Increased flanking speed!!!
@@PapaCheddar good idea
Maybe one day ill do a redo with the zig and some SO lol
Show the smuggling
What? 😅
@@PapaCheddar these fleets are amazing when you smuggling. Tri tac makes a phase freighter... u never wondered why? Hehehe tri tac does not pay no taxes!
Ohh i got ya lol. Good ole money over everything tri-tach 🤪
That would be a fun one. They do got a juicy low sensor profile and high speed.
I think you forgot the big boy phase ship zigurat I think it's name
Ole ziggy is a little too OP. So I left it out on purpose lol
@@PapaCheddar yeah I forgot he can destroy a medium fleet by its self he is to op for its good I gues😅
That's a one ship fleet right there 😂
Built right that thing can solo everything lol
@@PapaCheddar yeah you should do a series only having it as a fleet no combat ships other than it but cargo ships and fuel ships are allowed
I did a solo zig video. No support ships. It's on the play list if you're interested 😜
