Tip 1: Follow the story progression, the stuff acquired through it is not only essential but gives you a massive leg up. Tip 2: Use the best material available in this priority 1- Field generators, 2- Shields, 3- Generators. Tip 3: Follow Tip 1 Tip 4: Hire a captain at a station and put him on a mining ship to generate passive income. Tip 5: Have 2 to 3 times more generated energy than the build menu says is needed, once you get in a tough fight bravely boosting away will chew it up real fast. If you are right at the limit and jump in a hostile system the hyperspace regen + boosting will leave you dead in space. Tip 6: Permanently install modules as much as possible if it gives you a benefit, do not worry about having to destroy them if you are not near a station, anything below yellow modules is common to find. Edit: Tip 7: Use up down thrusters as close to each extreme edge of your ship, usually omnidirectional thrusters are the way to go though. Tip 8: Use Shift in builder mode. Tip 9: You can drag or Ctrl select, then Ctrl + C, then go into the load/save menu to save those parts from clipboard into a parts library. Very useful for those times when you need to strip down your brick to do upgrades. Tip 10: That Eye icon in the build menu becomes very useful with tip 9 Tip 11: 0,5 scaling is the default, but you can go way thinner for things like solar panels or armour. Tip 12: Make blocks as big as possible, they have more HP and some are far more efficient at large sizes. Cargo holds for one benefit enormously from being one big block rather then many small ones. By the way your battle brick is beautiful

Ugh watching jake is just as painful as always... just sitting here biting my nails, watching the titanium asteroids fly by unnoticed...

I'm a simple man, I see a new Avorion playthrough, I subscribe. 😎👍👍

The double cross ship looks like a y wing from starwars

If the game has it's physics right then the further away from the center of mass directional thrusters are the more effective they should get. Ideally you should put them as far to the back and as far to the front as possible, with each end having the whole up / down / left / right set of thrusters for optimal turning.

now waiting for the entire FTL fleet of ships to be recreated

You got best subsystem for money generating from that salvage. Rare object detector lets you find massive asteroids with resources and without. The latter can be claimed by you to sell to nearest faction for massive $$$ and relation increase or used as your starbase to claim the sector for "player faction" which will allow you to build industry starbases like you can see in premade factions star systems but owned by you (part of income goes to you but also costs of production/mining/farming is on you also ). For Good sake dont use it on automated ship because he will not use that subsystem, best usage of it will be on your main vessel. Other point I wish to bring to light for you, game gives you quests but doesnt tell you that you need to do it with basic weapons and craft or (unless game says there is time limit). The progression loop of the game is about something like that: mine for resources -> upgrade vessel -> hunt pirates for subsystems and guns -> sell unwanted subsystems and guns -> find next resource type (for example titanium) and repeat from start. You are ready to go to the next resource is if you have your vessel all out of the resource in which you are (for example titanium). Best way of travel are wormholes, if you are afraid of them just sticky a note to them so you will know where are they (crucial for mid and late game), it is always good if you have money to burn to travel through gates to map out factions (the better your relations with faction you are mapping out the lower the fee, fees are not that high with good relations you can get it way lower than 100 credits per jump, you just pass through gates, no charging needed) especially if you will install trade subsystems that will automatically show you good trading routes and what stuff is in said systems and what those systems produce. Oh and you have point defence turret, why you dont turn it on so it can shoot the torpedos? Its in their own group of turrets - defensive - as you know each turret has its own group, so you can have minimum of those turrets and decide on what turrets you will use the "arbitrary" turret slots. Lastly you should merge all your functional blocks that are neighboring each other for free benefits like slight increase (because of efficiency) to cargo space, acceleration, turning etc. (To do so you need to select them and click the merge blocs button in build menu for finesse merging, if you dont care, like me, just select whole craft and click merge blocks button, which will merge only neighbouring blocks of the same type like cargo, armour blocks, engines etc.) Other tip for building menu, there is a button which allows you to see blocks of your choosing so you can select them even if they are covered by other blocks, this will help with upgrading to another resource) Follow tip 5 of FlakeSE suggestions, later when you have hyperspace jump engines you can go way farther then now (i mean 20x increase and much more), but they eat massive energy. Also boosting through space takes more and more energy, its not a flat amount of extra energy consumed. About his Tip 6, not that fast cowboy, decide first which subsytsem is very important to you, because you can uninstall them only in shipyard (which destroys them) system and sometimes you want to change your subsystems! It amazes me that no one told you about holding Shift or Ctrl during building a block on a face of another block... Try it :)

I am pretty bad at this game but after watching Jake I feel like a pro. Thanks to Jake I am no longer a failure. 😁 Annnnd, subbed. What I meant to say is that I love how you go into the game blind and make all the mistakes for me.

You basically built a Kushan resource collector with your first ship. Homeworld enjoyer?

a mining/salvaging lasers efficiency stat is the percentage of what you could possibly receive

oh here it is number 2!

For power generation you only put down two blocks you need to have at least six to eight or 10 blocks to have power distribute throughout the whole ship

Jake seeming more awake and eagle eyed this time around, I like it 😁 picking out them asteroids like a champ. Also idk if you figured this out yet but just never use blocks with fractional sizes (3.5, 12.5 etc), it causes you all sorts of problems with clipping, tiny gaps etc because they don't line up with the grid (all bets are off after scaling the ship)

Candice DeBebe 3 is out now

If building is not your favorite pastime, then put your ships in the shop. I personally and I think many other subscribers would also like to help.^^

You can accept stolen goods by allowing it in cargo

To make a ship agile you going to need your picture make this ship move function better

The chat clearly knew the game, but no one cared to tell Jake about green dots being civilized sectors to "scout" and that those gates are fast travel along the lines, especially useful early on and for the long white lines. And the wormhole was also sadly ignored. Guess it will take 10 episodes until we see the first company.

You should be banned from space for making such an awful looking ship.

Random comment for channel interaction.

jake just generally has no idea what these things are, wow. no idea what a gyro is, or what deceleration is, or how to read the stats panel…

if you are gonna upload everyday i will be so happy
