So i bought a copy for me and another for a friend and the BMT guys emailed me to make sure i meant to buy two. Real quality businesses, no other retailer would ever check that.
Whoah that's amazing.
That's so cool! Man those guys seem like great people. God bless those guys, seriously!

I think the reason they did that was to make sure you didnt order twice due to network issues? they're being overloaded too.

The moral of the story is, don't save a convoy from pirates. Let the pirates destroy the convoy and then destroy the pirates so that you get twice the profit with half the work.
Also the pirates have their CR depleted so much faster cleanup
This is the way. Or you can just directly raid the pirate bases. Why pay for shit for smuggle runs when I can literally take them for a few marine lives?

Correct me if I’m wrong; but was it not bush (a conservative incase you forgot) who armed the taliban- sorry, the brave mujahideen freedom fighters… And was it not Reagan (another conservative again, incase you forgot) who armed Nigerian contras? It’s… its… almost… like the conservatives are the ones causing this instability in other countries so they can sweep in and reap the profit… And what’s even more *wacky* is that then, america only stays in these utterly pointless and completely preventable conflicts (which they caused by arming extremists) because it benefits the military industrial complex and makes a few people a lot of money. …Which then inevitably leads to the country they occupied being completely dependent on their aid, and utterly fucked the second they leave (after about 20 years in a pointless conflict that they indirectly caused and could have also avoided just as easily ofc) Remember, this was all caused by conservative politicians who wanted to A) line their pockets with oil money B) decided the best way to deal with a *bad no good mean government* who didn’t want to let them price gouge them for oil was to arm religious fanatics. What’s the conclusion which can be drawn from this? Your wrong and a moron. Ngl politically illiterate KZhead commenters are truly a wonder to behold.

Not only is Sseth a true chad for sharing his CD key, the developers actually link this video as the first one showcasing this game in the FAQ section. Yes, this video. With the CD key in it. If that doesn't scream faith in a product you developed I don't know what does. Definitely picking up a copy just for the balls alone. Plus I've tried it and it seems pretty neat. Cheers, Sseth and to the devs.
Absolute legends!
Remember when CDPR had balls to put the Witcher 3 out there without any protection and ended up selling more copies than they hoped for? That's when you know the developer knows their shit is good.
The Devs have reached sigma status for that move alone
Those guys got jokes: FAQ: Q: Aren’t you worried about piracy? A: Oh yeah, big time. That’s why we put actual piracy in the game as a mechanic - to ward off the evil, real world software piracy. That dark voodoo will definitely work better than any other DRM scheme. That, and chicken sacrifices. Note: we do not condone chicken sacrifices.

I found a beautiful cobtradiction in how "civilized" the factions were; since when I had high rep with major factions they would still send expeditions to mess with my successful colonies but when I got neutral rep with the supposedly bloodthirsty pirates they left my colonies alone and served as a nice trade partner.
The reasoning for expeditions still going is that they’re acting without explicit orders from their government. That’s why you don’t take a huge rep hit for destroying them. Sure they’re an asset to their military, but they also acted independently without permission from their commanders.

@@frankwest1017 I rely on sseth to provide me with hentai games where i can lose any dignity i have left.
I tried for so long to make a good profit with legitimate trade. I spent hours comparing prices, racing to fill demand, and struggling to stay above the (previously erroneous 60%) 86% profit margin necessary to walk away with any money after the tariffs. I was upholding order, supplying civilized planets with my legitimate goods, and improving relations with the various factions of the sector. Then I clandestinely bought every drug on the Tri-Tachyon corporation's capitol and sold them to pirates. In a single instant, I had the finances to buy a battleship, a supercarrier, two cruisers, two light cruisers, and two destroyers. Then I stood on the bridge of the most technologically advanced battleship in the galaxy and wondered what the fuck I was supposed to be doing.
Use that battleship to ambush trade fleets outside systems and sell their goods to their destination planet (that now has a supply problem).
The issue with the tariff is it's actually an 86% margin you have to beat. Goods cost 30% more, but sell for 30% less. That means your 100c supplies cost you 130 and sell for 70. 1.3/0.7=1.857.... just to come out even you need to sell them for 186c. 186*0.7=~130 It is completely viable to succeed without trading to pirates/pathers/black market, but also completely unnecessary
@@Tom_Het In the words of our favorite hack, the only good merchant is an opportunistically pragmatic one. You're not a true gamer or merchant guildmember unless you've used a TI-84 scientific calculator in the name of virtual profit.
You are still contributing to order in the galaxy. Wasted pirates are better than competent pirates.
@@BobMcBobJr my schlong is better than dead pirates
there's something that seth forgot to mention that i think makes this game even more of a masterpiece. while this game is very easy to mod, it's even easier to do it yourself! you can simply go into the game's files and modify any aspect of the game you want. values for missions, fleets, and you can even change the weapon layouts of specific ships. going into the settings config, they basically walkthrough some of the important stuff and lay it out for you. this game doesn't hide its code, it fully allows you to make it your own game if you don't like specific details about vanilla. i personally wanted to have a possibility of owning half the star sector, so i changed the value of max outpost you character can hold to about 10 or 15. i don't know if other games are like this or not, but from what i heard, they aren't. i'm not a programmer in the slightest, yet in under 30 minutes i was able to reprogram the entire game to how i wanted it with no penalty whatsoever. the devs are truly one of a kind.
it's java my friend
And music! You can change the music by converting into .ogg and renaming the music to the original name of the music you are replacing.
I edited the end-game's phase ship [REDACTED]'s built-in module to be the same as when you encounter it for the first time. When you encounter it it's OP AF, I thought it should be OP AF, hence I made it OP AF. I also edited the battle size to 1600 or something. It's insane, even on high-end Ryzen 3D CPUs.
@@TheInevitableManI was about to say I did this too. Definitely feels like a required change once you do it, seeing as the thing is so difficult to get anyways.

Honestly true terror is when you sell a shitton of blueprints and a nanoforge to the pirates and they immediately become the strongest faction in the galaxy
And thats why you sell them a nanoforge or real lowspec fighter squadrons

I honestly never thought of doing this. I'm going to sell nanoforges and blueprints to my system allies.

Ngl that's the model of most professional game reviews.
You forgot one important thing... - Get a Paragon blueprint - Learn it - Find another - Sell it on the black market - 4 months later, the sector is plunged into an even greater chaos than before.
@Ghost no, not everyone... Only the Pirates. When you sell a blueprint on the black market (whichever BP it is, could be for Luddic Path ships or for the Paragon, considered one of the best capital ships in Vanilla), the Pirates gain instant access to it and will start manufacturing it. So basically you will sometime see pirates raid fleets with 3 or 4 paragons for no particular reason.

bought the game. tried to live an honest life as honest space merchant. i struggle to make a profit and keep business going with repairs fuel and expenses. i was tied in an endless hell of trips just keep things afloat. then out of desperation i decided to make a stop to a luddic path planet because i was out of fuel. the margins... sweet lord i earn in a single dishonest transaction enough money to reapir a capital ship half my fleet and still have 400.000 of savings. insane. my morality was shaken. i have given troops and weapons to a terrorist organization. am i a bad man now? to hell with it i will become a weapons smuggler. i have become nicholas cage in space. i love it
"tried" game since 15 dollars is 2-3 days worth of minimum wage here and I'm unemployed. It gives off a mount and blade vibes but you can found settlements instead of conquering one. It's hard to profit from trade alone so I started settling a system near the tutorial galaxy, pirates and other factions started raiding my planets. Joined the Hegemony for the 80k stipend. No more hegemony raids. I love it
Hey, Who care's the life of a bullet amirite
The taxes man it's those godamn taxes
@@ztac_dex you can totally make money off trade in the early game. If you start a new game try raiding a pirate station and destroy its spaceport. You don’t need a lot of marines to do this. Destroying the spaceport means the pirate settlement can’t receive any trade shipments, so if you wait a couple cycles and come back they will have depleted all their resources and will be willing to pay an arm and a leg for basically anything you sell them. You’ll make the most money off selling drugs but you can sell them anything and they will buy it. It’s a fun way to play god with the poor pirates :)

@@LazyBuddyBan I don't rightly know to be honest. Played through all of the story and not horrors were found.
Decided to play this game. I found a particularly profitable trade route: there was an isolated Luddic Path mining planet in a certain star system, the only planet in said star system, without any protection and in dire need of heroin. About 1 day away, in the nearest star, an independent colony was producing a jack shit ton of heroin. They weren't the largest producers in the galaxy, but when you put the accumulated costxprofit of buying all the heroin from the colony and selling it to the Jihads, buying their ores and selling back to the colony, it was a goddamn Space Silk Road. A "Heroin" Road, if you will. Nonexistent patrols meant that I could run with my transponder off non-stop and after just a few upgrades my fleet was the top dog in the region. Life was good. Well, once you get rich you want to settle down, of course, so I decided to colonize an irradiated planet in the independent star system, because for some reason a planet that was completely irradiated still had a lower hazard rate than the other barren worlds nearby. Turns out that the independent faction did not like my plans of turning a glowing dead rock into a glowing rock with people in it, so they launched a plan to bombard my brand new colony and kill everyone in it. If someone makes a public threat of nuclear annihilation, I'd say it's fair to answer in kind. So after negotiations failed (because turns out that 1000 workers consume A LOT of supplies per day, and that ate through my funds), I simply traveled to the independent planet that was organizing the raid before they could deploy, just a week away, very convenient. Once I got in orbit, I bombarded the planet, making it go barren. Everyone else decided to call me a nazi fascist and I got canceled on twitter. Even the jihadis were just baffled at what I had done. Still, they needed that heroin, and the independents needed to sell their heroin, so business as usual. That is, of course, until I decided to take two pirate's contracts, and as I flew in to deliver the second, my fleet got swarmed by 6 different fleets trying to get my head, because everyone hated me for killing the people trying to kill me. Great game, 10/10.
You should've raided all their production facilities. That would've caused their stability to crash and they would slowly starve to death. Plus everyone doesn't hate you for it

Aw this was such a wholesome review for our boy Sseth. You can tell how much he genuinely loves this game.
Hearing someone talk about a thing they're passionate about is one of the greatest highs.
Yup. Same with his Kenshi review. This man's enthusiasm sells more copies than any advert could dream of doing
here much later to tell new players some cool mods that make the game even better: 1. nexerelin [as seen in the video]: makes all the faction relations intense, gives you the option of using a gamma core + some mats to build an outpost in deep space to refuel/supply. couple custom starts that are cool [yes you can play as pirates or luddic path.] has a new update as of this writing that lets you play a land battle minigame when invading a planet. mod author fixed a bug I found in a single day. amazing. 2. underworld: small mod that adds some pirate ships/fighters, a luddic path-style high-tech faction, and a really cool custom start called 'the infernal machine.' very fun. works great with nexerelin. 3. archean order: changes every ship and weapon in the game, extra ships, gives weapons longer range, buffs/nerfs some, few extra factions, and adds a ton of fighter stuff. makes [REDACTED] and the cryosleeper guardian super hard, lags my game when you fight a semi-big fleet, but great. does not work well with underworld. works good with nexerelin. 4. industrial evolution: more exploration and colony stuff. some planets/stations have hidden stuff you will probably love. must-have. 5. starship legends: lets your ships level/de-level based on combat. adds some bar missions to find pre-leveled ships. pretty fun. 6. girls frontline portrait pack: become a smug animu waifu. SR3MP best girl.
Yup same experience with Nexerelin, encounter a bug with Special Task Group, when to discord, Player-tech-support, made a post mention the author, he response in 10 seconds and gave me a new file to fix the bug. Great developer and great delicate community, 10/10 game.

@@ntma SR3MP, huh? Excellent taste.
@@combativeThinker I see you are a man of culture as well.
a sincere thanks, sseth. this video led me to some of the greatest experiences i’ve ever had the pleasure of playing. first save, i uh, somehow unlocked a pirate smuggler contact in askonia and ended up getting friendly with them over the course of three or so cycles through legally dubious covert ops around its closest systems. their bounties were generally aimed against the league and the diktat, and it also introduced me to raiding. it was lucrative. dropping thousands of marines into a colony after a tactical bombardment and robbing them of supplies felt like free money at the time. it was rad. my pirate buddies also took advantage of this, to my surprise, as the colonies were unstable and their patrol fleets greatly weakened after my repeated attacks. i appreciated the help, as they distracted any remaining fleets and allowed me to travel through hostile territory with impunity. couple cycles later, i took up exploring and colony management after i made enough dough. with a large enough contingent of supply ships, fuel tankers, and cargo freighters, i could safely stay in deep space for several months at a time and explore to my heart’s content. i had turned a new leaf. one morning, on a pit stop to my now-successful colony, i started getting notices about planetary governments losing control of their population. the names seemed familiar-it was the colonies that i raided at the start of my save. one by one, the persean league and the diktat lost planets to rampant banditry and looting due to the local population growing desperate with the lack of supplies. i visited them out of curiosity, and sure enough, the pirates stayed long after i left, driving colony after colony to anarchy. i had let them in. 10/10. it’s amazing.
The jack sparrow ending:
This game gets insane. I installed a few mods a while back, leading to a crapton more weapons and ships, my favourite being the cathedral-class hubship. To anyone not familiar with it, it’s essentially 7 ships strapped together and about the size of a space station. I then made the best mistake of my life. I equipped it with singularity torpedos. As you’d expect, these produce miniature black holes, sucking in anything nearby. The pilot fired them off like party poppers, leading to both it, and another cathedral getting stuck together. It was then that I discovered that its death explosion is quite possibly the most destructive thing I’ve ever seen in game. It proceeded to kill both itself, and the other full health cathedral (and these things are *HARD* to kill) in one go. This lead to a flash of inspiration. I found myself a reckless pilot, put them on the ship, applied every speed mod I could, gave it a smack on the bum, and sent it straight into combat. And that’s the story of how I made the most inefficient bomb in existence
Imagine dunking that on the luddic path. "That aint a bomb, THIS IS" as you do while hurling a massive cathedral ship with a reckless officer in their entire fleet.
@@magosexploratoradeon6409 Even more ironic given the ship’s only used by the Ludds
This sounds like something Orks would come up with after capturing a bunch of imperial ships and not knowing how to pilot them
‘EY BOIS, OI KNOW WOT WE’S DOIN TODAY!
Thanks for mentioning the Cathedral ship. I now have about 8 more mods including that one you just mentioned. God help me with these 15 or so factions. Scratch that. I think I have 20-25 factions now. This is probably going to be hell.
Started watching Sseth for the "hard hitting meme content", became a die hard fan when I realized he's an excellent source for finding hidden gems in gaming. This game looks awesome and I've never heard of it before.
I know right? This game seriously looks amazing
Similar for me. I started following him because he was the only one doing videos on the obscure games I play. And then he introduced me to a ton of obscure games I'd never heard of. :D
alchemy meister is a hidden gem
For me its different, but not in a bad way. I already played most of games from the Sseth's revews before said revews came out (includind starsector), but its facinating to watch em anyway, since they are about games beloved by my after all.
Bro relatable came here for the memes and his edits stayed for the good fucking games and his stories, which by the way are fucking gorgeous.
Just bought this a couple days ago and _my god._ I am not a gamer, and I tend to suck at games like this, but this game is _so_ damn _FUN._ Just today, I launched a raid on a Sindarin warehouse because a drunk populist in a bar asked me to. And I hit the wrong target because I didn't know how to navigate the menus yet. I was then promptly surrounded by _four patrol fleets,_ each one _individually_ capable of killing me. And you know how I got out of it? I pushed a single button. Transverse jumped and got the hell out of space dodge. God I love this game.

Do your fleet ships still suicide by forcing themselves between your and enemy capitals? Because that was usually 90%+ of my casualties.

having played this occasionally for over 10 years, i finally bought it. The site worked amazing, asked me for my country to pay taxes, and then I got an e-mail with my code. Felt amazing. Now I haven't slept for days, I am smoking a spliff with one hand as I scream "yarr" at the screen when DPS Good Comet, my Executor-class mothership flanked by two Champion-class cruisers, rams into the enemy lines to defend the Dysnomia Party independent colonies from scum like tax collectors and tech inspectors. I have a powerful fleet and capable, high level captains to take over the command in battle for me so I can rest my tired eyes. When I close my lids I see visual remnants of ships detonating at my pulse barrages. I may be entering psychosis and it's hard to focus my vision, but it only adds to the immersion of the insane space warlord fantasy. Truly one of the greatest games ever made, and I don't even mod it, the current state it is in vanilla is already overwhelming.
I installed it a few days ago, even though I saw Sseth's video when it came out, and just my luck they added a storyline for the Luddic Church. I must say after playing a bit through it I'm seriously impressed by the writing. An amazing game, where I also got lucky in the beginning trading massive amounts of drugs - the markets were truly messed up, you could sell it for about three times the price at a few colonies - and earning around 900k with my starting fleet in about four hours of playing. In general an engrossing game with so much stuff to do, it truly feels like a separate world.

This guy is probably the best game reviewer out there. He makes all games appeal to me. He doesn't ONLY talk about new games, which is rare because people have started to think that old games are inherently bad. He remains funny while talking about mechanics which may be boring. also this game is pretty cool.
Pfft Sseth is not the only one you know? He basically just "markets himself" to channer trash and assorted incel shitposters than all the others do, much the same as septiceye and that pewdie guy marketed themselves to redditor tier bydlo children who play Fortnite and PUBG. I think it's partly about finding your particular kind of audience and just catering to them in your style which I think Sseth just happens to do particularly well, and in a funny enough way without it being cringey. That said have you seriously not ever seen Mandalore for instance? Guy reviews some pretty old shit, and some of the obscurest games I've ever seen. Civvie11 feels like he is almost singlehandedly carrying the boomer shooter genre forward into the 21st century, which I don't even like or care about that genre but I watch him anyway. ACG and worthabuy I mainly stumble across because they've been around long enough to be reviewing games on sale or in my backlog much of the time, so there are also regular reviewers like TotalBiscuit RIP who you'll finder older reviews on, not the same, but putting that out there.

Thanks to this video I did actually try out Starsector. It's a well-made, easily modded, and fleshed out game that takes several hours from your life every time you open it. 8/10, I was wiped out by the first AI I came across every run
I wish more devs had that sketchy looking 90s credit card payment option tbqh. I really don't like giving Valve any of my hard earned money, and while I have less issue giving the Poles at GOG money because at least Poland still makes games it still feels bad knowing that's 30% not going to the people who are actually making the game. It's also terrible when I have to rely on any kind of client or launcher, so I'd rather just pay the developers and their studio directly by bitcoin or by credit/debit and let it sit safely on my drive like Starsector does. Yknow, I can still play Age of Empires 1, Fallout 2, and Starcraft Broodwar on my modern win10 Zen2/RDNA running machine off an optical drive, yet I know I'll end up having issues someday on Valve's licensed game "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy" bullshit. The chutzpah of these guys to sell $90 "deluxe" packages on top of it when I still have my original DooM poster and Broodwar manual and strategy guide paperbacks, yet these modern devs don't even fucking bother making a pdf manual at all. Then I get to deal with retards on steam because of it instead. So would I rather just pay them through debit or dogecoin on the internet and have them ship me a USB with the game on it and hardcopy manual and poster? FUcking absolutely.

For those who don't know, the anime that was on 11:29 is called Cowboy Bebop. It is a very good show. It is very funny and the fight scenes are satisfying to watch. The story is about a small group of bounty hunters who are just trying to get by financially, but with their luck they aren't so secure. Traveling among the stars and excepting every bounty that gets them dinner is all that is on their minds as they struggle. What's also unique about it is that the show, unlike most other international tv shows, is that it is a love letter to western culture. The soundtrack is a good blend of jazz and rock, the charcters gamble with their money, and the architecture looks very retro, despite it taking place in the future. I highly recomend watching it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet. It also has a very good english dub.

Basically, if a game gets big praise and good rating by someone reliable like it is the case with Sseth, people are more inclined to support the developer so he can continiue with the good shit by getting an official copy, rather than pirate it for free. This is why you see people today sailing the high seas - because most, if not all triple A releases are bad and what's good is mostly exclusive to a certain console or a certain online store (Epic games scumbaggery).
Starting from a frigate or destroyer and working your way to a 14th Battlegroup Legion and Onslaught combo is the most rewarding thing you'll ever experience. It can be as simple as finding one drifting out at space. You expend all your fuel dragging it to a friendly starport. And like a car project, you do job after job fixing it up and kitting it out, struggling through pirate ambushes and Luddic Jihads Until one day you roll that baby out of the garage and flatten all that dare challenge you.
Oh I should point out for the people comparing it to Elite Dangerous, you're basically playing what I'd basically describe as Escape Velocity meets E:D. It's actually much more similar to that Ambrosia game series from the 90s, which you can't even find them anymore and was some of the first modding I ever experienced, and you can still find and play Escape Velocity Nova on a windows machine (I think EV and EV:Override are playable using modded EV Nova as plugins?) Endless Sky, which is free on Steam, is basically Escape Velocity, like almost a carbon copy but with less soul. If you played EV you'd get the comparison to this game, which is hilarious because I paid the same way for SS as I did for my copy of EV back in the 90s.
The luddic chruch doesn't hate the luddic path. They'll support each others battles when within range to join in on the fight. This will also make the church hostile towards the player, or other fleets that had any church reinforcements join the luddic path. Also this game recently been updated. So check it out.

I've been playing this game for a year or so, and it's fantastic. Highly recommend, some of the best $15 I've ever spent. The game does some things which you wouldn't expect a game to do. I found a ton of valuable blueprints in an abandoned station in the middle of space, and some of the big battleship designs were duplicates of what I already had, so obviously I chose to sell them for profit. But why would I pay that 30% trade tariff? Nah man, fuck that shit. So, I docked at a pirate station and sold them the battleship blueprints on the black market. ...big mistake. I mean, I really should have thought that through. Within a few years, the pirates attacking my merchant fleets had high-tech battleships... built from the designs I'd sold to them. I had to spend millions upgrading my colony world Patrol HQs so I could have larger escort fleets for my merchant convoys, completely negating any profit I made off selling those blueprints. It was awesome. I love a game with that level of depth. And it's just gonna keep getting better.
