Advice on optimal equipment set

[irioth]

My current equipment setup, including the stuff I have equipped and what I carry in inventory for a possible quick switch, includes:

Spoiler

Equipped:
Melee Weapon: Tweaked Lava Saber
Ranged Weapon: Impressively Tweaked Salamander Rifle
Armor: Suit of Gray Goo Armor
Shield: Reaper Armaments Mark I Shield Generator
Accessory: Hovering Cargobot
Underwear Bottom: Hardlight Anti-grav Thong
Underwear Top: Hardlight Anti-grav Bra

Inventory:
MK.VII Goovolver
Tweaked Vamp Blade
Tweaked Salamander Pistol
Varmint Leash
Fenris-class Assault Drone, Version 2.0
Royal Shard Bow
10x Thermal Pack
Zil Champion’s Bow
Allure Brand Pheromonal Body Spray

Is there anything better currently available in some shop (e.g. the new Uveto shops) or as quest reward (e.g. the Chaurmine rewards) that I failed to acquire? I worry some of my equipment may have gotten suboptimal or obsolete. But with ship storage getting more and more ridicolously inadequate and overstuffed, I am also concerned about lack of space (ship upgrades with greater storage space are never going to come too fast) and getting my inventory overstuffed.

My current storage goes as follows:

Spoiler

Wardrobe:
Schoolgirl Costume
Black Void Modified TS-T Armor Plating Mark IV
Simple Lab Coat
Omnisuit’s Metal Storage Collar
Insulated Coat
Honeypot Bra
Stockings and Panties
Pasties
Underbust Corset
Fishnet Briefs

Equipment:
ZK Rifle
Leithan Compound Bow
Electrified Shock Blade
Myr’s Leg Rifle
Tweaked Jolthammer
Tweaked Salamander Rifle
Queen Nyrean Spear
Modded Arc Caster
Aegis Light Machinegun
Secure MP

Consumables:
5x Vial of Gray Microbots
5x Vial of Gray Microbots
10x Vial of Red Venom
10x Mhen’gan Mango
Honey Wine
Honey Wine
10x Breeder’s Bliss
10x Vial of Red Venom
10x Breeder’s Bliss
10x Breeder’s Bliss

I've been reluctant to sell or drop any equipment only available as a quest reward, despite it being potentially obsolete, fearing I might somehow regret its loss. Although now that TiTSEd makes recovering any such stuff coded in its database fairly easy, I may be more practical on this issue. Is there any stuff I can throw away w/o regret?

 

[A79]

The shock blade is totally safe to dump at this point. I would probably dump the myr's leg rifle, too.

Everything you're currently using has been surpassed by the weapons on Uveto, both in the old weapon shop on the surface and the new one out in the wilderness, and the goovolver has been outmoded by the bimbolium emitter you get from the Pexiga uplifting quest.

Ship storage use to be something that I worried about, but after my inventory became completely full of items that I just didn't want to give up, I realized that it was way too much trouble, and I would just save edit what I had back in once storage had been expanded.

Hmm, would you kindly care to be a bit more specific in your advice? About the weapon shop on the surface I suppose you're talking about the Kirila shop, right? What would you deem preferable to have in her inventory? I usually prefer to carry at least a couple alternatives for melee and ranged weapons, for variety's sake if nothing else. I am less mindful about any shops in the Uveto wilderness. That region is an headache to me, because of the vastness, the freezing cold issue, and the scarcity of up-to-date map and wiki info, so I don't go there that often, except for specific quests. Are you talking about the Kazra and Lorre tradepost? And what would you deem especially useful to have in their inventory? What about Chaurmine's rewards? And Nerrasa's stuff?

I somehow failed to get the bimboleum emitter during the pexiga uplift quest (Dunno how it happened, darn ) but I suppose I can remedy the issue with TiTSEd. Quest is probably too far back in my playthrough by now for me to backtrack and redo. I did a lot of stuff since then, and I'm not sure I remember all of it.

What would you deem especially obsolete in my inventory, and in serious need of being dropped to free up space?

 

[Lancer]

"Be more specific"

Got it. The ideal loadout depends heavily on what class you are, as each gives perks to certain types of weapons. It would be helpful it you could include that info in your next post. Directions to the trading post in the wilderness are complicated, but if you take the path that runs east, then keep going east until you have to go north for a few tiles, then go north for a few more tiles, you'll see the shop. They have the best melee energy weapon currently, the plasma hawk, while the Kirila has the best ranged energy weapon, the Blacklight rifle. I didn't know Chaurmine had rewards, but now that I've looked up his weapons in the google doc, I'd say that since they both have 30 damage and other bonus effects, I'd say they are best in class for both ranged and melee kinetic weapons.

This is the stuff I think you really should be able to get rid off. Specifically I'm looking at weapons that are really just completely out-matched by the current top weapons and can be recovered with the save editor later. Items I think can be gotten rid of will be struck through.

All classes at once, really. I started as merc, but I have long since save edited my way into having all level 1-8 perks of all classes. I'm just waiting for the new level 9 (and 10, hopefully) perks to get a stable version and optimally an updated version of TiTSEd to include them (and the other tweaks Fen did to old perks) to add them to my character build. I loathe forced class specialization in games. If there were a legitimate way to play an optimized multi-class generalist with enough Xp (the Universe knows I have a mountain of unused one, even with the one/two new levels) I'd pursue it. Since there isn't, I save edit my way into the equivalent.

Ah, well then, the four I mentioned are the most powerful weapons that I know of currently in the game.

Point taken, and thanks for the advice. Let's just say for flavor reasons I may prefer to have versions of energy weapons (or in other games, attack powers) both available that deliver Fire OR Electrical damage, even if the alternative is strictly redundant. Which kind of second-best weapons would you suggest to keep in order to fulfill this? The issue is relevant both for melee and ranged weapons.

Dang man, I'm not a walk-through! I try to be as helpful as possible but you're stretching my limits here. The second tier electrical weapons I can think of would be the Tweaked Jolthammer, the Modded Arc Caster, and pretty much any other weapon from Kirila's shop will work for fire weapons.

EDIT: I finally got my hands on the Saumorian weapons. The railgun has a damage of 28, with -2 in accuracy and critical chance, and -5 evasion. The hammer does 25 damage, with an accuracy of -7, crit chance of 0, and evasion of -5, but with a stun chance as well. They're not the obvious best in class weapons they were in the doc, but they are certainly still right up there at the top.

Sorry, I did not mean to abuse your help or your patience . It's just the wiki seems rather out of date on this topic (and several others), and equipment optimization is not so easy a task for me w/o it, since items are spread over a double dozen different sources in different locations, not so rarely ones I may not be mindful of, with no way to compare the relevant statistics short of traveling to check them one by one. Unlike what other players seem able to do, I have no idea how to look in the source code to check these and other issues, short of the cases when the submitted docs are still available on this board (and stats weren't subsequently changed in the coding process).

 

[irioth]

Thanks for the advice. With your help, I was able to reorganize my equipment as follows:

Equipped:
Melee Weapon: Plasma Hawk
Ranged Weapon: “Black Light” Ultraviolet Laser Rifle
Armor: Suit of Gray Goo Armor

Now I can look forward to playing with less worry of having obsolete equipment (at least until new stuff gets coded) and less urgency to have a ship with more storage space added to the game (although it would still definitely help). The equipment is purposefully set up to give my Steele a choice to switch between top-tier burning, electrical, physical, and lust options for melee and ranged weapons and have almost all the most useful or fanciful accessories quickly available for variety and flavor (except I found the Saurmorian Hammer maluses a bit too unpleasant, so I replaced it with the Monofilament Saber).

I did not bother much in comparison to get armor alternatives since I find Nova close to optimal as it concerns overall benefits and cosmetic flavor. Ditto for clothing after HL antigrav bra and thong became available. Nonetheless I kept several items of second-tier equipment in storage since at the moment there is nothing better to use that space with. Consumables storage is stocked with Breeder's Bliss since I fancy keeping Steele in perpetual deep heat outside of pregnancies. In comparison I tend to think of Red Venom addiction as rather more trouble than it is worth (because of withdrawal's heavy penalties to libido, masturbation, and tease, short duration of the effect, and since the drug is only found on one world), but I carry some RV around in case I ever change my mind.

 

[Anomolousrabbit]

What are the Impressively Tweaked items?

 

[irioth]

What are the Impressively Tweaked items?

Special improved versions of standard weapons Emmy built and can give Steele as a reward for one of her quests (bringing her some of the valuable crystals found in the deep caves of Myrellion as a gift). Theoretically speaking, you can only get one of them depending on your stats and which kind of crystal you bring her (or RNG in one case), but since I loathe being forced to choose between stuff I equally fancy, I save edited to have all of them.

 

[irioth]

On second thoughts, I replaced the Aim-assisting Eyepiece with Siegwulfe Personal Droid in inventory. I like leaving a couple inventory slots free for loot (thanks Hidden Loot) even when the Cargobot is unequipped, and I fancy traveling with a veritable battle harem (Varmint, Tam-Wolf, and Siegwulfe). Technically speaking, Steele can't screw Varmint and Tam-Wolf (yet), but I assume it is b/c nobody bothered to write sex scenes for them too. I shall have to give more thought to whether I prefer to have the Aim-assisting Eyepiece or a complete set of Emmy's tweaked weapons in storage.

 

[Kesil]

Steele can't screw Varmint and Tam-Wolf (yet), but I assume it is b/c nobody bothered to write sex scenes for them too.

I'd say that's not the case, especially concerning the varmint. Then again, we have Tam's bad end...

 

[irioth]

I'd say that's not the case, especially concerning the varmint. Then again, we have Tam's bad end...

Well, I meant having sex with your pet varmint or dog robot. To my knowledge, you can pet your varmint (as a dog lover, I fancy that scene a lot), but not screw it. On the other hand, you can pet and sex Siegwulfe. And you have no scenes to interact with your Tam-wolf at all. I assume it is b/c no writer happened to add the relevant scenes yet, since bestaility certainly isn't taboo in this game. I succeeded at the varmint and tam-wolf quests at first try, so I'm oblivious about any defeat or bad end sex scenes for them. As a rule, between my cautious play style and my uberpowerful PC, I tend to be not so informed about defeat or bad end scenes in general. Exceptions usually involve purposefully surrendering to get symbionts or pregnancies.

 

[EmperorG]

I assume it is b/c no writer happened to add the relevant scenes yet, since bestiality certainly isn't taboo in this game.

Actually, the writers do have rules against bestiality, it's just it gets really fuzzy when dealing with animal looking robots. So while Siegwulfe is completely fine, Tam-Wolf is as close to the line as the writers are allowed to go. The Varmint will never be sexable, simply because that would be pure bestiality. The Pexiga meanwhile is an example of this, she's only sexable after her intelligence has been lifted to above an animal level, and certainly not before when she's still dumber than a rock.

That's what I meant too (hence my reference to Tam's bad end) as well as what EmperorG said.

I'm confused. If there are writing rules against bestiality, how are sex scenes with cockvines allowed? Sure as heck they look non-sapient, and are described as such in the Codex and wiki. And that psionic tentacle beast that spawns from the strange egg doesn't seem very different to me. Does Fen differentiate between plant/tentacle sex and animal sex in this regard?

 

[Lancer]

Ah, yes, he does. Cock vines are plants, technically not animals, so the taboo of beastiality doesn't apply to them. Fucking non-sapient things is generally discouraged, but I guess exceptions can be made for things shaped like genitals.

Well, I suppose much like a lot of the target audience and porn-looking nerds in general, exposure to a ton of rape hentai has desensitivized our august developer to any taboo involving tentacle sex.

 

[Galgano]

Because tentacle porn has a large enough fanbase (that I think started from the Japanese pictures of women getting fucked by octopi which is beastiality, but whatever) that it's become a "social norm"

Among Gen-X or younger people with any interest in manga/anime, most certainly. Just like on an even bigger scale, the Golden Age of Porn first, Internet later thoroughly normalized porn for the masses. It is meaningful how modern reactionaries this side of Saudi Arabia do try to turn the clock back on a lot of things, but usually they don't really dare to mess with porn. And manga/anime did massively influence mainstream pop culture in a lot of ways.

If you're editing your character, then forget equipment that give bonuses and go for fancy stuff (or bonuses you can't outstraight cheat, like the jumping backpack from Uveto that grants +10 to dodge).
I like too to ran around with a "battle harem"*, but ditched the Varmint and Tam-Wolf for the Siegewulf (it's a pity they use the accesory slot instead of having a "companion" slot or something like that). I also carry the Grey Goo armor, but since content for going "commando" with it isn't implemented yet, I use the Omnisuit instead and have the Goo armor just in case (my character is focused on tease attacks) along some goo grenades.
As said above, the Blacklight has the easiest to find bonuses (meaning you can go adn simply buy the gun without having to quest for it).
EMP grenades are always useful imho.


*loved the ghost girl, Exghartuan and the goo armor for CoC. The closest thing in TiTs is the gray goo armor, and aside of "companions", the several parasites you can find (I was expecting to get one of those ghost-mushrooms on Myrellion deep caves, but no luck)

I'm too lazy about harvesting stuff to make my combat style any reliant on consumables I have to periodically stockpile. I much prefer to rely on lasting stuff such as character stats and perks, and permanent item bonuses. The restorative consumables I have in my storage is stuff I more or less accidentally gathered and thought too useful just in case to be sold or thrown away. The only consumable I actively stockpile is Breeder's Bliss b/c I wish to keep Steele in permanent heat.

I tried to keep my PC and her equipment more or less optimized for a generalist, flexible combat style (varying from melee to ranged to tease as it strikes my fancy or depending on the enemy's vulnerabilities) but I don't get why I should prefer to use the Omnisuit instead of Goo armor for tease combat when the latter gives better Sexiness bonuses, much less the Goo armor + HL bra + HL thong combo I use. I do eagerly hope exposed options for Nova get coded in the next update or so. I very much agree this game is in dire need of a companion slot in inventory separate from the accessory one, and of splitting the equipment storage in distinct spaces at least as big as the current categories for armor, weapons, accessories, and misc stuff such as the Thermal Pack.

I just can't make up my mind which 'battle harem' companion I prefer, also given my generalist preferences, so I suppose I'm bound to carry all three around, more or less the same way I do with burning, electrical, and tease weapons. Good point about the jetpack. I suppose I might give up carrying a thermal pack stockpile (it is the by far better option to deal with Uveto's climate for my character build, but I don't travel in the frozen wastes all that often), free up a slot in storage, and swtich places between jetpack and allure in inventory and storage. Or perhaps even better give up owning allure entirely, like I did with the eyepiece, since bimbo Siegwulfe gives better sexiness bonuses anyway with my PC's maximized intelligence.

As parasite symbionts go, I love having cockvine tails and a full set of mimbranes, although the latter may definitely get high-maintainance because of the way casual sex may mess with their feeding schedule. In my experience, the best way to deal with this problem is to save edit their feeding, trust, and time since fed stats into syncronization once you get a full mimbrane set. Then try to make a routine of feeding all of them immediately after date changes. If you expect to spend long periods away from the ship and in situations where the PC may have sex, try to keep them locked at full satiety and trust by never sleeping, only resting (if they annoyingly start complaining about hunger despite being sated, I just save edit to reset their time since fed stat to 0 every once in a while). Short of a few special cases (leveling up, dreams, recovering from Mierrin's soreness), differences between sleeping and resting are negligible anyway.

 

[Noob Salad]

Wait two months and start wearing my symbiotic armor project. She's like Nova but dommier.

 

[irioth]

Wait two months and start wearing my symbiotic armor project. She's like Nova but dommier.

I shall wait for her eagerly, although I suspect I might prefer Nova's bubbly personality to a very dommy NPC. I'm not much into BDSM (although I fancy the project to give the PC a Masochist stat), so I prefer for Steele not to act very D/s most of the time, or to have NPC around all the time that act too much that way. It's one reason why I prefer to have Sera as a NPC I visit once in a while, like Inessa, Xanthe, and Ara Kei, rather than a crew member, even if I completed all of their quests (other reasons are I like having Sera as an item source and inseminator option, and unwillingness to backtrack my playthrough all that much). Got any doc I may read about your project?

 

[Anomolousrabbit]

How good are the dusters (lightning and salamander)? 50% resist seems like a lot, but I don't think many enemies using burning/electric.

So, you take the trouble of of editing the feeding time of each Mimbrane, but not just edit x10 EMP grenades?
I get your point, tho. I don't use Breeder's bliss, since once you get knocked up, its useless ti'll your oven is free for another bun. If it comes to being in heat, you can always use Omega Oil ti'll you get the perk (don't recall exactly the name of the perk, but perodically sets you to states of heat automatically)
The Mango is also a source of extra sexyness, if you want to stockpile an item non-combat related.

Hum, unless there's a sexyness upgrade for the Goo armor I don't know (likely), the Omnisuit has a far better bonus. I hate the damned thing because the buggy descriptions, but even using Goo +bra+ panties still don't reach the Omni sexy bonus and their other benefits (last time I checked. Honestly I don't care much about meta gaming).
I hope Nova gets their options worked. It was the only reason I was waiting to reach level 9

Good point about the jetpack. I suppose I might give up carrying a thermal pack stockpile (it is the by far better option to deal with Uveto's climate for my character build, but I don't travel in the frozen wastes all that often), free up a slot in storage, and swtich places between jetpack and allure in inventory and storage. Or perhaps even better give up owning allure entirely, like I did with the eyepiece, since bimbo Siegwulfe gives better sexiness bonuses anyway with my PC's maximized intelligence.

I dunno about the Varmint damage (never bothered doing the quest, since there's no interaction with it once you have it -like you, I wish there where... options-), but Tam-Wolf and Siegewulfe don't have much differece in damage. So you could ditch the Varmint, keep the upgraded Tam, and get the bimbo Siegewulfe, that way you get an extra slot, and optional for damage or tease bonus *shrug*

I think there's a perk to resist cold climates, if you're inclined to cheat perks.

Eh, I don't care much about a full set of Mimbs. I just keep one in my butt, and that's mainly by accident and thought it was funny.

Well, you see, one of my oldest and strongest playstyle/flavor foibles in any RPG I play is I require the impression to find the experience enjoyable my characters' powers and abilities are almost entirely inborn or internalized, bolted to their bodies and minds, not being tied to any material equipment that could be broken, lost, or stolen, nor being dependent on any kind of physical ammo or supplies. This is one reason I focus first and foremost on the PC's stats and perks in this game, I tend to play the wizard (and be very pissed off if they are forced to depend on any kind of ritual tools or material component) or the character with psi/super powers, martial arts, or cybernetic implants in other games.

This being a sci-fi game w/o psi or cyber, it is unpleasant but inevitable many of Steele's abilities are channeled through tech, but fortunately since in this game the PC cannot really lose their equipment against their will, and many items don't require supplies to work, I can pretend armor, weapons, and accessories are actually spells, psi powers, or cybernetic implants. Mimbranes, being parasitic symbionts akin to bioware implants, fit in my preferences fairly nicely. On the other hand, combat reliance on weapons that require ammo or other kinds of consumables tends to challenge my tastes in a much bigger and more direct way.

Of course my Steele has Omega Fever AND is kept under permanent effect of Breeder's Bliss (except when she's pregnant in all three wombs of hers, but unwanted pregnancies aren't that frequent or hard to avoid in this game, and she already has offspring in the triple digits). Their effects are entirely stackable. As a matter of fact, she has pretty much every lust-enhancing, sexy, slutty, lactation-boosting perk known to this game short of the ones reserved to males, and most of their effects stack, Their combo gives my PC a minimum 70 lust 'at rest' when there is no special lust-boosting effect active (she got recently fucked in the ass, had her exhibitionist cravings sated, just masturbated to empty overactive boobs, and so on).

Hum, unless there's a sexyness upgrade for the Goo armor I don't know (likely), the Omnisuit has a far better bonus. I hate the damned thing because the buggy descriptions, but even using Goo +bra+ panties still don't reach the Omni sexy bonus and their other benefits (last time I checked. Honestly I don't care much about meta gaming).

Well, perhaps our perspectives here differ since last time I checked the item's stats, a worn Omnisuit gave no bonus to Sexyness. If there is any other indirect effect or rule that boosts tease combat effectiveness for this item, I'm unaware of it at the moment and the wiki gives no info in this regard. Please educate me if you know I'm wrong.

I hope Nova gets their options worked. It was the only reason I was waiting to reach level 9

Amen to that. *Cracks whip in Jacques00's direction* "Write faster, faster".

I dunno about the Varmint damage (never bothered doing the quest, since there's no interaction with it once you have it -like you, I wish there where... options-), but Tam-Wolf and Siegewulfe don't have much differece in damage. So you could ditch the Varmint, keep the upgraded Tam, and get the bimbo Siegewulfe, that way you get an extra slot, and optional for damage or tease bonus *shrug*

I see your point. I just cannot make up my mind whether I like the silicon big dog or the robot wolf more as combat pet. Admittedly they both fill the normal combat niche, while bimbo Siegwulfe is geared for tease combat.

I think there's a perk to resist cold climates, if you're inclined to cheat perks.

Yeah, IIRC there is, although I seem to remember I passed it over since it seemed cosmetically tied at the hip with an unwanted canine TF. I might give a second look to the issue to see if acquisition by save editing does allow to bypass the disagreeable aspects.
