>>1735763>StarsecotrShit, no wonder I didn't get to find this with ctrl+f. You fucker.
This is the scariest fleet I've ever run into relative to my current fleet. I've only got a Legion XIV capital wise, two Eagles, a Dominator XIV, an Eradicator, and a handful of destroyers and frigates.
>>1736019did you win?
>>1736021Hell no lol. Got my ass beat. While the Paragon and Odyssey are both just awful to deal with, the Astral with the swarms of Flash bombers was just an absolute pain in the dick. Man, what I'd give to be able to fight these fucks with a proper late game fleet.
>>1736022>with a proper late game fleetwhich is?
>>1736022Meant to say Aurora not Odyssey*
>>1736023For me it'd be something like a Paragon, a couple Hyperions, Omens, and Tempests, and the cruisers I already mentioned, though maybe drop one Eagle for a Champion.
>>1735994>XyhposHonestly it has weird ass AI that can't fire both the Burst PD and the Ion Beam, It's not consistent too. Sometimes it works perfectly defending me and fucking my enemies. Most of the times it goes schizo. Dunno why as it should have infinite flux built in, so it has to be like some other behavior thing.
>>1736037Still think just having no hard level cap works for this system. Modding the game myself I always found that unless I return to being a grind monke I never reached higher then around 20-ish levels with the default level scaling.

>>1736053realistic, fantasy, anime, or otherwise 90% of all portraits are AIslop, i dunno any hand drawn stuff outside of UAF / IS
>>1736035It's because the beam and the burst pd are in different weapon groups and they're both not set to autofire so the AI can only switch between the 2 at any given moment

The UAF theme sounds like VN BGM. Very appropriate.
>>1737403It's basically a tanky phase ship in terms of gameplay; especially if you pilot it. A bit more offensive as you can fire while everyone's slowdown, at a cost of frequency of slowdowns, top speed, & going through enemies.

>>1737618I think it's TomatoFace, he's been trying to make a comeback after that whole debacle when he falsely accused someone of stealing his code without proof and publicly embarrassed himself.For those who missed it the first time, someone made a mod that did something 'similar' to what TomatoPastes did, albeit better and bug free. Tomato threw a tantrum on the forums claiming theDude stole code from him. Tomato posted snippets of his code, turns out they weren't his as claimed, they were LazyWiz's and theDude was using said code with permission. So Tomato rallied a whole Klan of discorders to pressure theDude in to giving up his full source code (or ban him). Needless to say theDude wasn't phased by the screeching and being a chill-as-fuck breaker-of-bucks, sent his source code directly to Alex to independently verify because he didn't want it plagiarized.After Alex independently verified that the code was theDude's own, Paste went back to the discord with a very red face and has been stewing every since.

How technologically advanced is Starsector compared to other sci-fi games? It strucked me how advanced the Persean Sector is considering they can travel light years with special fuel that allows them to go into hyperspace, said fuel is contained anti-matter that everyone has access to, they have ships that can travel in alternate dimensions including hyperspace, can setup resident on any planet from volcanic to cyrovolcanic world and can even take advantage of or make it more habitable, advanced AI that can run planets better than any human, and so much more.

>>1737831>If not, you will not be missed.I heard this so many times, it's a bit sad really.
>>1737805(sorry I just wanted an excuse to post this image)Realistically, so much of the setting is designed to allow for its own gameplay that I don't think it's very useful to compare it like you would normally be able to. For instance, dumb fire rockets and torpedoes are effective enough that they're part of doctrine for the various navies. These just simply would not work in any setting where the vastness of space is at least somewhat accounted for in fleet battles.
Black holes are an abomination, and settling in any system with one will surely bring ruin.
>>1737815>>but muh frnachise is actaullu strongerer and betererIsn't this the same franchise with ole imperium that got buck break'd by a younger alien race, what was it again, space china?
>>1737855They always cope back with muh speiss marines
>>1737844>These just simply would not work in any setting where the vastness of space is at least somewhat accounted for in fleet battles.Speaking which, it always bothered me in how tightly packed ships are in space combat when you see them depicted. With weapons that can fire at the fraction at the speed of light you would think they would spread out more. You probably wouldn't even be in visual range of friendly and enemy ships with how advanced communication and targeting would be. It makes me think how missiles and fighters would work unless you give them super advanced technology like being able to warp in in front of enemy ships.
>>1737866>muh speiss marinesthis is like a 40kfags equivalent to godwins law when backed into a corner
>>1737805In 40k terms the Domain was somewhat comparable to DAoT humanity. DAoT humanity was more advanced in some ways (time fuckery on some of their starships). The Human Domain was more advanced in others (i.e. they basically built their own Webway). Both seemed to have similar production tech. An intact Standard Template Constructor is kind of like having a pristine Nanoforge with a lot of blueprints.In the time of the games, Starsector has better preserved tech and institutions compared to the Imperium (Tri-Tachyon is a pre-Collapse entity that survived, for example, and intact Domain tech is more common than STCs are in 40k), but the Persean Sector is a backwater, so the scale is smaller. In general you could say modern Starsector sits somewhere between the Imperium and DAoT humanity in tech, which, yes, is pretty vague.
>>1737873Battletech came up with the explanation that the 'modern' battlefield is such a mess of Electronic Warfare that any attempt to fight at any noticable range is near impossible. Even the most basic battlemechs feature a plethora of EW equipment as standard. Things like ECM units are dedicated components designed to chug through the rest. One of the stackpole novels featured an event where a Mechwarrior switched his EW-EQ off to draw fire and everyone ignored him thinking his mech had been crippled because it wasn't blasting out noise. A similar thing translates to space combat, combine it with the concept of Hammerlock from the expanse and you have a good reason to fight up close.

>>1737898I guess that makes sense, but that sounds like a health hazard with all those signals bouncing around. I know officially there's no health implications for wireless signals and furthermore emfs, but as technology advances and the longer we are exposed to these things it just makes me wonder. I also know the people would be shielded being that they are behind ships and mechs, but I can just imagine an unprotected person being blasted with a ship's jammer and suffering life altering cancer afterwards.

>>1737925Not really, that whole argument was there since late 2000's and both companies revenue, by their investors reports at least, as grown. Even as both techs improved in the decades. It's just fucking lot of work/start up cost to pirate at a individual scale, and doesn't really hurt the company directly as their supply lines are hard controlled (unlike the third party resellers for TCG for example).Now that being said, both companies are diverting funds far more into digital and other IPs, rather than their analogue beginnings, as it scales waaay fucking better for profits = good for investors (sucks for /tg/ though).
>>1737948Way too angular for the Legion IMO. Also the storm needlers are too small.

recently reinstalled starsector, is there a way to make 0.96 mods work with 0.97?
>>1738011Most would just work with:1) Go to the individual mod's folder2) Open mod_info.json3) Change "gameVersion": "0.96a-RC---" to "0.97a-RC---"

>>1735763When the fuck is starsector going to hit 1.0 and have a steam release?
>>1738113When it is ready. Next update is focused on QoL, and I don't think story is going to take more than one, so we have a few years in development to look forward.
>>1738034thanks anon, i see a lot of mods in the mod index that are set for 0.96 still, dunno if they're abandoned or what.also, what would anons recommend for the optimal mod experience? i installed nexerelin + ashes of the domain as the "overhaul" mods, anything else i should be including? it's been a long while since i played?

Pretty much everything that can give even the faintest acute does of electromagnetic radiation has warning labels or safety training when handling them, even your humble microwave with the safety mesh over the viewable window is there to protect you. Mechwarrior/Battletech gets away with it simply because everyone is beyond normal humans.
in the absolute end game, how many gate haulers can we find?i found 2 so far.it's cool that we are awarded this cool thing but i thought there would be more to it.

>>1736095>>green is so incredibly goodIs it?I find all the tier 1 skills to be pretty meh, save perhaps the ones affecting fighters if you run several carriers (but then you get diminishing returns). While the tier 3 skills certainly sound great, it is a huge investment to get to them.The issue with most green skills is that they only affect ships with officers, but they only give a meanigful bonus to frigates and destroyers, where officers can have a much lower impact than if they were piloting cruisers or capitals.The green tree is clearly oriented to fleets composed of many small ships instead of a few large ships.idk maybe a fleet of 24 hammerheads would be amazing and I just haven't tried it yet.>its like this entire system is designed to annoy you and push you to fleet commander instead of piloting yourself Yeah, fleet-wide skills are just better.I personally get Navigation, Sensors and Electronic Warfare from the blue tree. Maybe Gunnery Implants too.Then I invest most skill points on the yellow tree, getting Bulk Transport, Field Repairs, Containment Procedures, Makeshift Equipment and Hull Restoration.And the rest I put into the green and red trees.Don't know what are the meta picks.

>>1738306>frigate and destroyer bonusOne officer only benefits one ship, with bigger ship, one officer can provide multiplicative bonus to a larger portion of the fleet, for much longer time because large ship's longer PPT and officer can't swap seat like players do. All these green bonus is merely to address what taxes and inconvenients the smaller ships.
>>1738346Did chemicals get into the local water supply again CY
What are your thoughts of the following fleet composition? The goal is making an efficient fleet that isn't too large.>several monitors and hammerheads to capture objectives and keep the enemy busy>officer manned eradicators and champions to hold the main line and attack>two herons for fighter support>one or two XIV onslaught for capital firepowerBeen also thinking of replacing hammerheads with manticores, but I'm not sure.

>>1737212God I fucking hope Alex does something with the Abyss. You go there once (or twice if you didn't bring transplutonics) just for the hauler and wormholes. That's it. It's spooky and has good atmosphere, but has nothing to back it up so all tension flies out the window. The fear of space is gone. It's too short of a dive since you could go to Limbo without encountering anything. Going to through the Abyss should be a JOURNEY where Murphey's Law hangs over your head like a Sword of Damocles; as it stands, the Abyss doesn't feel like an abyss. Getting the hauler should be a big deal and something you should prepare for. The lights are the only source of light or sound and are the only interactable thing, and once you get their gimmick from your first interaction with them (and constantly reminded of if you do again) they're just a buff dispenser to make it even easier to navigate. I was more worried about the colony crises half a sector away than anything happening in the Abyss. Limbo is the only point of interest and there's nothing worth going off the path for. The rogue planets and stars/black hole are cool for the first few times, but once you've seen it you've seen them all. They either have nothing, have one of few descriptions, and maybe have a ship. Ideally have more places like Alpha Site where you have no idea what to expect instead of another planet with class 1 survey data, if anyone was to hide something they never wanted found, it would be here.A small gripe I have is that Limbo is plainly marked and named on your map and you could bee-line to it at any time. Maybe make it something you have to explore breadcrumbs for, or you could stumble around blindly in the dark, or get a direction to fly in from a starting point, or at the very most you find the coordinates to fly to. Maybe randomize the true location based on save seed.>>1737579If Lunalib, disable everything under invasions and crank up point costs like in picrel. Should just work™.
>>1738389>rat>>>>>>>>BOGGLEDTroon out and add UAF

>>1738415Had my suspicions
>>1738389thanks for the list, I'll save it. Already started Nexerelin run and even after first 2 hours it feels like a mandatory mod. Gun sounds might be the next thing that needs tweaking
>>1738408What's wrong with rat? And wtf do you mean by boggled? I don't know and nor do I want to know shit to do with cross dressing 41%ing fags so please forgive me for not following.I just looked at UAF and honestly it's seems like Mary sue the faction, not only are the art and ship designs jarringly different from vanilla but it feels like the entire faction sticks out like a sore thumb. Maybe I'm missing something?
>>1738441BOGGLED is Terraforming and Station ConstructionIt's not great, DIYplanets is better
>>1738441>ship designs jarringly different from vanilla but it feels like the entire faction sticks out like a sore thumb. Maybe I'm missing something?Literally came from their own anime dimension
>>1738455Can't believe a pseudo-nacent "starfaring" civilization somehow has a better nanoforge than the fucking domain
>>1738448DIY does seem pretty cool. How did I miss that? I would be nice if T&SC could be merged into DIY. Industrial evolution also seems quite cool, though I don't like the artillery or the colony gornvernments, maybe that can be removed through Lib.
>>1738455That might explain it. Disappointing. None of the big modded factions ever seem to be able to get the lore, feel and in-game balance inline with the base game
>>1738464Yeah I only keep tasc for the stations. Industrial Evolution should be able to edited via lunalib but the modder has had multiple melties over it so it's plastered with "disable if you're a moron :))))))" over the options.
>>1738441Rat has the issue where it started with nice ideas but is getting to big for its breeches with added content, just like how HMI is bloated garbage and AoTD is bloated garbage. Honorable mention to IndEvo for pets and artillery. Boggled refers to TASC's creator Boggled, who put telemetry and data collection in his mod, regardless of whether he removed it or not you can make a good guess why nobody likes him here. BOGGLED is shorthand for "you got keylogged nigger".
>>1738473I'm not in the position to deny being a moron kek, even if the modder is being a prick about it. I liked the other stuff he has added so I might install it and do just that.
>would be nice if T&SC could be merged into DIYno thanks i will keep my modlist boggled free
>>1738476Fuck. I didn't know that. Shit. I really liked the terraforming and station building. :((
>>1738476I don't know how people play with AoTD and cope with subpar industries for 2 cycles

How do I learn to love missiles?
>>1738486Just use DIY planets if you gotta. IIRC it has some minor incompatibility with IndEvo with making hypershunts but it's alright. My only issue is that it clogs up the colony item pool and makes getting good items harder to get.>>1738495Ironically it might have started with Skyrim making modding such a high visibility thing. Previously modding was a nerd thing and now modding is expected to the point of developers relying on it.
>>1738506Miss. Specialization and a Pegasus
>>1738512There is nothing like four Hurricanes pounding the exposed side of a Nova.
>>1738506Supporting your battleship with two gryphons always feels good. Dragonfires are fun too, even if they aren't always so effective.
>>1738506Use missiles that work well by themselves first and aren't dependent on overwhelming PD. Reapers on your main ship for example, fire them when you are decently close to your enemy and their shields are overwhelmed. Easy kill without having to whittle down armor. Sabots are also very reliable and hard to shoot down.
>>1738525For AI, I found that sabots and reapers are pretty bad on fast ships. They will fire sabots from extreme range, while backing away, or while chasing down a fast enemy. Same with reapers, they don't lead the target or take their own speed into account and try to snipe with it, leading to the reaper slinging way off to the side or getting shot down by unrelated weapons and random fighters or missiles. Gryphons work well with both since they're slow and missing with reapers isn't so bad when they can spam them and have more in the racks.
colonizing a system with no volatiles is useless, right?i want a self sufficient system
>>1738533Ah yeah with AI it's different. I find that the AI uses harpoons extremely well as finishers, same for similar missiles like the Atropos. Squall and Annihilator work well for just spamming but Annihilators need to be close to work.
>>1738555Find a nearby system with a high volatiles gas giant. All having in faction supply does is reduce upkeep costs. It doesn't make you self sufficient because Alex wants it to be possible to have trade disruptions. Grow all the food you want, you'll still have starving planets because you import all your food from the core worlds and the shipment got lost in hyperspace.
>>1738352Both hammerheads and manticores are better as escorts for your cruisers. If you want agile destroyer to take care of frigates, look at the shrike.
What frigates don't suck ass besides the Tempest/Omen?
>>1738574in my experience enemy frigates don't really do much other than go quickly to capture objectives while you aren't looking.The only frigates that annoy me are enemy monitors which tank a million bullets and afflictors which phase around like retards and use their entropy mod.
>>1738582Monitor and centurion.
>>1738221Yet the FCC says there's "no scientific evidence", at least they regulate how much you can be exposed and give out guidelines on how to reduce exposure, it still pisses me off how full-body screening is allowed at airports among other things.
>radiation is LE BADretard
>>1738389An update to my vanilla+ list. Added: DIYUnknown skiesIndustrial evolution Despite the big boggle bastardry I like the station building too much, I'll probably end up keeping it for the stations and disable the other terraforming stuff (maybe keeping the Dinos and domed cities too) Any other suggestions? (Provided it's keeping with vanilla - no shipgirls, op shit or unthematic stuff pls)>>1738391Going back to an earlier post, 100% Agreed. more stuff that adds a space version of thalassophobia (astrophobia apparently) would be very cool. It'd be nice to see more ruined domain stuff and unknown entities bumming around. Maybe a random colony that was able to thrive despite being cut off even? Out of curiosity I have a question for you fellow organ smuggling spacers. What would you want added to the game? I'd definitely like to see ship design specs lost to the persean sector that can be found out in the far reaches of space, I'd also personally like it if factions interacted with you differently once you have a decently sized colony under your belt - i.e. access to more important characters and being given more respect at the cost of loosing anonymity you might expect a less renowned spacer to have when entering a bar.I'd also like piracy and pirates in general to be a little more nuanced, blowing everything up all the time can't be good for business, more diplomatic solutions and types of piracy would be cool, like demanding you give up goods/crew/tithe in exchange for letting you go. Organised crime racquets normally need some level of toeing the line in order to not get btfo'd by the bigger governments.
>>1738602>in order to not get btfo'd by the bigger governmentsIt's a wild west, best they can do is put bounty on your head and wait for some mercenary to hunt your ass.>if factions interacted with you differentlyGame would benefit from addition to reputation system. Something like a sector-wide notoriety, so everybody would treat you differently as you do impressive deeds and generally kill a lot of people.
>>1738602With pirates they could do with better interactions. You can pay off pathers with a tithe despite being religious zealots and seeing you as a minion of moloch, but you cant do the same to pirates who just want your shit. It's pretty dumb. IMO the only thing that should want you dead no question are the Remnants and vengeance fleets.>>1738610>Something like a sector-wide notorietyI remember seeing something like that either here or on the forums but it was for specific factions. An umbrella rep that acts like notoriety with the whole faction but individual reputation meters for individual planets or polities.Maybe something like story events can add multipliers to notoriety gain as eyes are on you more. Being the first to use gates and using them in populated systems is not going to go unnoticed. It's likely every spacer would've heard something about you because the gates are just that big of a deal. Meeting with Daud and having a commission has that effect (scripted anyway) with what's his face inviting you to a ball and the following duel.
>>1738391Does it work on an existing save?
>>1738629Should, you can open Lunalib with F2 in game. I know turning off diplomacy and alliances worked mid game as I didn't like the retarded Hegemony-Diktat alliance that popped up.
>>1738448>BOGGLED is Terraforming and Station Construction>It's not great, DIYplanets is betterThe real issue was Boggled added spyware to TASC and was downloading users IP's, system configs and game settings for "personal metrics" and uploading it to his personal server without any consent. Nobody even knows exactly how long it was going for, it was only noticed because somebody noticed starsector was accessing their network when the game, at least in vanilla, has no online components. This cost him a lot of good faith.When he was caught he claimed he didn't have to ask for consent or tell people what he was doing with it because it was for 'personal use'. People started screaming GDPR and he was trying to claim it was no worse than what Google/Facebook does and people should just accept it, even the disorders were upset at this one. So Alex stepped in and gave him a choice; add a setting to make it opt-in and notify the user or remove it entirely. Initially Boggled was compliant but 'accidentally' reversed the yes/no option, when Alex threatened him with a ban he 'shutdown the server'*** so even though the mod can still technically download your personal data it's got nowhere to send it to.It should be noted that some internet vigilantes on 4chan figured you could send almost any string to his server by including it in your user config - cue obscene remarks and attempts at java exploits...

>>1738653How did that someone even noticed, did he played offline and noticed startsector or a mod stopped working, or did he used wireshark or something?

>>1738728I dunno man, at least the others just fucked with your game, this guy Bog apparently was taking some personal info like ip address and maybe more.

>>1738733because factions are at an extremely low point after the second AI war and have no spare resources even to fight the pirate bases in the coreworld, let alone to establish new coloniesOr at least that was the idea until colony crisis were implemented, and now the factions have more than enough resources to send three or four or more full fleets half-way across the sector just to personally fuck with you.
>>1738738It always makes me chuckle when somebody mentions omega guns in build discussions.
can you remove AI cores before inspection fleet arrives and it won't find anything?or do they find AI cores in storage as well?

>>1738748To be fair it's better than it was before. It was like this before colony crises with expeditions going out to sat bomb your shit just because you produce slightly more than they do and the endless wave after wave of AI inspections. It's just most notable because it's overbearing all at once as you cant help but start triggering everything consecutively from just having a decent colony. Every faction is just present in your system and carrying over their proxy wars in your backyard. At least the crises events END and they learn their lessons and stop sending fleets.
>>1738759Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from, Brother-Eyed Joe...

If I'm already managing 2 colonies and I invade another one causing me to be placed as the admin by default so it's 3/2, does my Industrial Planning work on that overflow colony?
>>1738833Yes
Reputation in general is in a weird spot. For factions it matters a lot if it's negative as there's degrees of effect where they cut access from their markets before going hostile, but positive rep only matters if you have a commission and are buying from military. Reputation with people could stop existing and it wouldn't change the game. As far as I see it, the effect just boils down to "X liked/disliked that" and it moves on. If it's not a contact that offers missions based on reputation level (e.g. unique remnant bounty), then it doesn't matter. Even with faction leaders it means nothing since the most or worst you ever get with them is +/- 5.If only Rules.csv wasn't such an opaque clusterfuck.
>officer training vs officer management>best of the best vs support doctrineThoughts?
>>1738851If you had to choose: Officer Managment is better as you get two extra officers, vs one extra level. Two extra officers is better as I've never come across a situation where I needed just one extra skill to make a ship work. Tougher choices sure, but I'd take having an extra two good ships over several marginally better ones. On the otherhand Cybernetic Augmentation synergizes with Officer Training with +4% to damage dealt and taken if they have maxed elite skills, but it's just a little extra and mainly for the player focusing on combat skills.BotB and SD both have merits. Support Doctrine is theoretically great as you give every ship a level 4 officer, however, you already have 8-10 officers which in addition to you is a lot of combat ships, and if you have Wolfpack Tactics having lots of officers is even better. Best of the Best isn't necessary, if you can build ships without crutching on S-mods then you're fine, and if you really need that third mod then maybe try a different build that works better with the ship's base stats and hardpoints. That third S-mod is there to make a good ship even better, and for my fleet it's the designated Solar Shielding slot because I refuse to move slow through storms.
>>1738863>I've never come across a situation where I needed just one extra skill to make a ship workAdditional elite bonus can be very tasty.>best of the best vs support doctrineI think BtB is better since it more universal in application. Will help both big and small fleets.
>>1738863I think OT has synergy with SD, having fewer but better officers plus other ships being better. This approach works better with a fleet composed of many small ships.OM has synergy with BotB, wanting to deploy all 10 ships with officers plus the flagship and making sure that all of them are really good. This approach works better with having a smaller number of heavy ships.BotB lets you deploy more ships initially, while SD lets you deploy more ships in total since it reduces the DP cost of ships without officers. So you can deploy 20% more frigates and destroyers.
>>1738864I was going by if you had to take one or the other. Ideally if you officermax you'd get both officer skills + Cybernetic Augmentation for level 6s with 4 elite skills, and Officer Training is a lot more accessible than CA since it swapped tiers with Neural Link. Best of the Best is the better of the two since you can squeeze in extra mods to complement the ship and officers at the helm at the cost of many more storypoints for the fleet; an extra logistic mod on your atlas/prometheus is also really good.
>>1738867WT does put the screws to you to make your officers use smaller ships (and high tech because of the PPT bonus), and to that it does synergize with a quantity based fleet which SD does well; and as you said, you'd have a very strong core with OT and lots of lvl 4 supporting ships. However you could skew your ship weights to get the best of both. Two battleships (about half your DP) is plenty of capital grade firepower to face most threats and you can support them with destroyer escorts and officered frigates dotting the field. So only 2 officers aren't benefiting from WT as they're in capitals. With you yourself in a fast cruiser like an Aurora or Fury that also has some quality in firepower as you can be smart with shooting and picking targets, with Neural Link you can even bring two of them. If you really wanted to benefit from WT personally you could try flying a Hyperion, it's the ship that really benefits the most with extra PPT and huger damage potential. In all cases the thing to look out for is DP limits, all those great ships are worthless if you can't bring them to the fight.
>>1738876Talking about skills, I'm not sure if people noticed the big buff that hull restoration received in the last update (and it was already a pretty common pick).It now gives +15% CR to all ships that don't have D-mods (and if you have that skill for long no ship will have them). That is the same effect as crew training, except hull restoration does much more and that the bonus from crew training diminishes if you have more than 240 deployment points total.Before hull restoration gave a bonus of +5% CR per S-mod, that was removed, but the new bonus is much better.+15% CR translates to +5% damage dealt, +5% maneuverability and -5% damage taken and also better autofire accuracy.If you stack hull restoration, crew training and tactical drills, and have 240 deployment points total or less, you get a +15% damage on all ships.
>>1738302Nothing inherently. Hololive is just stupid. The mod itself has no issues.
>>1738890More options for CR means you can mix and match since you only benefit from two. So you can save an officer skill on picking combat endurance unless you have something made of glass and need all the PPT, or have a specific build for immortal hull tanking ships like the Invictus and want hull regen.

>>1738920If that were even remotely true then people wouldn't be posting screenshots with anime portraits literally all the fucking time
>>1738851>officer training vs officer managementTough one, but Officer Training because I usually run an elite fleet that has ships with high deployment costs. Nothing wrong with benchwarmer officers, but I usually don't let it get to that.>best of the best vs support doctrineBest of the Best always. I've only used support doctrine for derelict operations wolfpack tactics meme build.
>>1738929Yeah yeah sure thing predditor.
>>1738934>I've only used support doctrine for derelict operations wolfpack tactics meme build.Wait isn't this counter-intuitive, as wolfpack only gives bonuses to ships with officers while support doc. only for ships without? Like I usually take support doc. or wolf pack, not both in terms of efficiency so.
>>1738673modders are often autistic retards but starsector has the worst modding community ive ever seen
>>1738940What if you have both officers and a bunch of filler ships?
>>1738943I just take support doc. Usually the fillers' Ordnance Expertise give you a good space on mounting extra fire power to offset the loss of the wolf pack. Obviously it depends on the ships, but usually most mid to late game warships have enough umph, speed, and staying power with those 4 god-tier skills.
>>1738696Honestly if you use it though the red ball of death is so slow (ECCM is not added since it's energy) it can be PD'd quite easily and so flux heavy that you want to just use a Reaper. On the plus side, the Executor and Champion's Energy Focus actually stacks on this, so there's that.

Can't tell whether it's a mod or vanilla thing I missed before, but I found you could place Brother Cotton's copy of the Book of Ludd as an offering on Gilead's shrine. The flavor text comes up something like "it looks like it belongs there". Other than the Ziggurat talk and when getting the Loke clone, are there any other interactions with him? Directly or otherwise?Also, if you've got Arma and recruited Dawn, she has a lot of interaction with the Luddic quests and will ask to accompany you to each of the shrines, she's also got your back during the Knight's Errant quest and shoots a nigger.

How much of Ivaylo's stuff is outdated, I assume the part about colonist struggling to build basic tools for survival is partially dated given that you see pirates able to do huge modifications to ships like the Atlas, but I wouldn't know given I started playing Starsector late.
Turns out more combat terrain effects adds safety overrides to everything with a thruster if you fight in a slipstream. Reapers might as well be hitscan if you've also got missile spec.
>>1739024>fighting in slipstreamsCool effect added desu, wonder what it's like fighting in a blackhole.
>>1739028Your CR and PPT get fucked, also your speed too iirc
>>1739028There's a slight time dilation effect where everything moves slower, and the expected CR and PPT tanking. There is a nod to if you have Solar Shielding on your ships as they experience time at "normal speed" and thus lose CR faster than the ships slowed by time dilation.Here's a few of the mod's tips and it's all prefixed with [More Combat Terrain Effects] so you know which mod it's from if you want to remove or edit them.>Slipstreams provide enough excess power to the engines of fighters and missiles to activate their zero-flux boost. Beware of their unusually high range and speed!>Insulated engine assemblies are known to significantly mitigate the effect nebula gasses have on a ship's engines.>In combat, hyperspace clouds are similar in function to nebulae, with one major exception: If storming, they will periodically strike anything nearby with extremely powerful lightning. This lightning's effect is mitigated by solar shielding!>Neutron stars' jet streams are incredibly hostile environments. Anything inside of them will suffer worse shield stats, random EMP arcs, worse CR, solar winds, and all projectiles having extra EMP damage.>In the event horizon of a black hole, solar shielding and such only normalizes the distorted relativity. Paradoxically - solar shielding is actually worse for your combat performance, because you experience time slower!
>>1739038>Your CR and PPT get fucked, also your speed too iircAnd this is the only time when S-Moding Solar Shields was a good idea. Also why the fuck doesn't LG variants have natural 100% shielding!? That's like their only shit that makes 90% of them viable! Alex C'mon!!

>>1738391i''ve been juggling the idea of dark ghost remnants attacking you in the abyss. it's so dark in there that you can't kill them at all. they just appear and vanish instantly if fired upon. like if you mouse over an enemy ship theres a health gui, but that dissapears too. but if you have flare launchers you can light up the area and they show up on the radars. imagine this: you fire 1 rocket into nothing, a dozen signals appear, remnant ships, all dark coated. the flare fizzles out, and then there's nothing. but shit is tearing your allied ships, the dark consumes and rips them apart. while they are lighted up, you can actually kill them because they can't escape into the dark like they do.i've even thought of a little dialogue. something likeapproach rugged spacer that seems out of itbro is utterly insane and screams something something the abyss ate all my buddieshey young man i've got a batch of unused flares. you want some? then he gives you the stuff and you get a hint of how to explore that shit because he says these are important and whatever "you won't survive without these!!!"i'm not a modder so i can't do this and thanks for listening my ted talk anyway. idea probably retarded, and made with the intent of you going "maybe fuck this and turn around?"
>>1738490i'm not gonna anymore. you know i play with tasc and that shit has an integration with the research tree... that entire thing will take one fucking hundred databanks. nuh uh. and the solar mirrors are like at the end of it, meaning i need to raid like a dozen facilities to even start making anything good. maaaaybe realistic but doesn't mean it's fun in any way. niggers didn't even make a toggle or a console command to unlock all tasc research. what the fug. i'm just gonna run DIY and industrial evolution next run. maybe i'll try AOTD when kaysaar makes the new sector module.i'm still mad over the fact that there's an "install item" in aquaculture but only ironshell has an item for it. what the fuck. can't alex make something like underwater lobster food dispenser for +2 food production?

Retard here. What do carriers actually provide that is worth not spending their DP on more unga bunga ships instead?
>>1739520Use carriers with Strike wings or EMP wings, other wings can go fuck off, they're good for those roles as well as shitting on frigates that get too close to your engines
>>1739520theyre support versatile ships. what fighters you want to run depends on your fleet like if you want more dps then bombers, if you want to neutralize enemy fighters then interceptors just as an example. personally i like using carriers for harassment, so ships cant just fly out of range and hit vent they have some lil nigga hot on their tail
>>1739520To add to others. One thing that's shit about the UI & AI of this game is that even proper carriers gets way too close to the enemy and doesn't take advantage of the 4000~6000 range of wings.One way to mitigate this is to first select the carrier to airstrike a target, then after a second tell it to go to a way point away from the intended target. The wings will still go towards the target, and the carrier itself will move towards the way point.
>>1739567>proper carriers Just to clarify in case. There's two types of carriers in this game: Carriers and Combat Carriers. Normal carriers are few in vanilla: Astral, Condor, Drover, and Heron. Their AI "relatively" will try to stay away from the enemy.Combat carriers are all others including those with converted hangars. They'll try to go into their mounted weapons range with their wings. Also there's 4 types of wings you can use; each with different AI:>Fighters prioritize engaging enemy ships >Interceptors prioritize engaging enemy fighters and missiles>Bombers only engage enemy ships with their payload>Support that stays near their ships to defend it (often used as extension of PD and Weapons).

>>1738910"ahœy!!! your credits or your life, obasesu sexy guy >.<">cut the commlink>win>recruit her for 10k>now you're my senchō
>>1739520Carriers provide swift and long reaching support, can bail out friendly and punish over extended enemy and concentrate really hard. Fighter bomber AI don't have instinct on self preservation so they won't shy away from gun range or flux status like combat ship, they also can jump across ships that would have collision blocked each other when crossing. The long range means carrier anywhere can almost always help any other combat ship while combat ship can only provide for the immediate left and right. Other knacks are fighters small KE and EMP are nasty and efficient when they touch shield or hull, frigates of equivalent weaponry will have a hard time to reach this deep. And bombers are regenerating missiles with worse launch timing. Interceptors and support are 360 degree PD with long or short leash that isn't using ship's flux.Another combat ship means finding another place that it can reach in and shoot guns without them shooting more at it, for carrier it is again from anywhere to anywhere and usually has someone blocking far in the front than being in the line only supported by immediate left and right.A better combat ship push deeper and kill harder but it will flux out from the deep shit it thrust itself into and undo the positional progress.

>lowtech/midline ships fire actual ammunition in massive quantities and would need regular resupply>high tech just converts energy to energy weapons>high tech is the high maintenance one
>>1737805While the sheer energy level of Domain civilization with those coronal shunts is very high the important thing is that it's a semi-hard scifi that acknowledges those energy levels, so even the most humble frigate the size of a small shuttle in other settings is capable of destroying an undefended planet with ease with its fuel.Another thing is that it's not over the top, for example the hypervelocity driver used to be described as being a mere 55mm slug and our ships clearly have trouble with colliding and destroying asteroids instead of blasting through them like a hot chainsaw through butter like these energy levels would imply. Not to mention other inconsistent nuggets of information which imply that while ships have access to huge amounts of energy, it's used for hyperspace travel, not combat. There was a small discussion on this at https://arch.b4k.co/vst/thread/1252888/#1260378 , which also contains the rare sight of an actual Starsector powerlevel delusional fanboy.>>1737873Just remember that it's not actually to scale and we can actually see beams reach out when you first shoot them instead of just hitting instantly, which implies we're fighting at ridiculously huge distances.

>>1739118I don't think the abyss would do well with real tangible threats that attack ships. I think the better way to go about it is to take a couple things from sunless sea/skies and put in the fear of space and unknown, because "what's out there?" is scarier than getting close and personal with the cause of the horror. It's established in lore that spacers are superstitious fucks and so is some of your bridge crew. They may be loyal, but what about the fucks on your salvage rig? Or the twats running your Dram? You keep fucking with the lights and people are getting on edge. You've crossed about every spacer taboo and you're not even halfway there. You're exploring completely uncharted space, shit like insanity, sabotage, and mutinies that affected age of sail explorers like Magellan's fleet."What if there isn't anything out there?" they ask. "What if we end up like some of those lost XIV ships and never come back? Our supplies and fuel keep getting lower and lower.""Our ship has just enough to return, should we break off and go back?">>1739567The thing with carriers is that being closer is often always better. Bombers have to fly out, shoot their payload, and return to rearm. Other strikecraft also have to cover the distance. Carriers also don't really adjust orders. A bomber wing will happily fly through an entire fleet and die to PD because their target who was up in front slipped back to vent in between the order and getting there. True carriers should stick close behind your warships, battlecarriers are the warships.>>1740007Small scale Nanoforges printing bullets from simple feedstock. CR recovery is the abstraction of resupplying ammo among the other consumable things used up in combat. High tech is high maintenance because components are high performant at the cost of being robust, this causes them to fail like christmas lights when stressed (combat) and costs 20% CR per deployment as opposed to LT's and ML's 10%. Phase is 30%.

I really wish that portrait changer mod allowed you to change the portraits of AI cores. I tried to see if i could modify the .jar file myseld but i'm too much of a codelet.
>>1740825retard here.i just move and replace vanilla portraits with portraits i find appealing. i just have to keep the same vanilla portrait name.i replaced all vanilla female portraits this way.
>>1740846I wanted to give the AI cores on my fleet their own unique portraits though, that's the issue. Modifying my save file works fine but that's a massive pain in the ass.
>>1740825>>1740846You can change portrait use in the factions folder.
>>1740790Strangely the only good carriers they have are their capitals.
>>1740855you want to change portraits of AI cores ONLY in your fleet?that's weird and idk how.

Does the Hegemony just dominate every Nexerelin campaign? I don't think I've ever seen it not roll over any faction it gives the stink eye, including modded factions.

>>1740898i did one Nex playthrough with no faction mods and the hegemony took over tri tach and the diktat worlds.no matter how many times i took them back and returned the markets to them, the hegemony always took them back.
>>1740898Nex doesn't really have way to curb factions snowballing nor ways to represent how certain factions punch above or below their weight.The PL is most likely overall weaker than the Heg, but the eventual result of another full blown war between them is up in the air. You don't see this in Nex.

>>1740949ships look nice except the eagle/falcon bashesall those weapons mean i will never try it unfortunately
>>1740983>radiant>6 glimmers with alpha coresDoesn't that go way above the limit you get from automated ships? What is the max CR of those ships?Personally I'm done with automated ships. Radiants are amazing but the nerf taking the skill to the last tier plus the hits to CR and the fact that the automated ships add to the DP total of your fleet, thus making your other skills worse, but for some reason don't affect the DP distribution in combat is just too much.
>>1740949Ships look cool, but in combat they are either underwhelming or overwhelming in my opinion.Seems like the author rebalanced the mod since i tried it, so my info might be a bit outdated.

Found this thing and thought it would be a great mech mothership but ArmaA WINGCOM doesn't function properly with it sadly because of the left and right of the ship are separate modules.
>>1741042Put wingcom on one half and put alestes/valk exes, put pd/bombers on the other half. What ship?
>>1741044Galaxia-class colony ship, WINGCOM has to be save-edited in the center of the ship, its actual purpose of hauling crew is probably not happening as much as the big number makes me want to S-mod berthing.
>>1741052I hate mod devs that just add 0s to things. Its like they didn't even bother to compare scale on anything. Ship holds over 10k people but it is smaller than an onslut. Right sure.

>>1741172TT and the church partner up way too often.
>>1741062You'd be surprised, a Nimitz can fit more than 5k people on board and it's a 21st century warship, not a 30th century dedicated transport ship. Scale is all over the fucking place too (given that >Kites are about the size of the TPC but hold 1/50 of the crew of an Onslut). Also, the additional 5k comes from Bulk Transport, and some bonuses given by skills don't really make sense.
Range is good for large slow ships. Steady is good for slow or capital ships. Aggressive and Reckless is good for faster nimble ships, and doubly so for shorter range weapons. Cautious and Timid officers are pussies that shy away from shooting and will back off the second someone comes near. A Reckless officer is the only thing you should ever put in an Aurora and if you fit it with pulse lasers and ion cannons it can get up into a niggers face and brawl, no S-mods needed.>>1741196>Scale is all over the fucking place tooYou can blow up several Invictus' worth of crew and no one bats an eye, but sat bomb Kanta's Den down a size and suddenly everyone shits their pants over "muh atrocities".
>>1741154who the ufck is this kid
>trying to fight the defenses protecting the cataphract in nekki>keep getting this errorAnyone have an idea what mod this is from?
>>1741222At what point does it crash? When you interact with the Cataphract or when you start the battle?
>>1741227It happens in battle. The fight goes well for about a minute, and then it crashes randomly.
>>1741216>several Invictus' worth of crew and no one bats an eyeTechnically they are not civilians so it is fine to kill them. But people living on the pirate/pather planets are not necessarily criminals.
>>1741229Seems like one of the ships is the problem, either your own or your enemy's.Judging by the fact that it only happens when you try to fight the fleet defending the Cataphract (i.e remnants), i'd take a look at what ships are in that fleet that aren't from vanilla. You should find your culprit that way.
>>1741238You think any of these ships could be a problem? They all look vanilla to me. I'm thinking it might be a ship on my end. I'll experiment and see what I can come up with.
>>1741196I agree scale is all over the place but the point is the mechs in that shot kind of throw the whole idea of that ship holding 15k people out the window.
>>1741244>phase remnant shiplolthat's modded as hell + the 2 remnant cruisers
>>1741244Your original screenshot mentioned something about ship ai and shipsystems.I'd assume the blackrock ship is the culprit, but i'm more-or-less just guessing to be honest.
>>1741216If you are slower then the opponent can pick when to engage and when to disengage.If you are faster and have longer range, then you can maintain the distance of your longer ranged weapon and shoot at the opposing ship without it being able to retaliate, forcing it to keep its shields up and build-up hard flux while you don't. Longer range also allows you to bite at the sides of the enemy formation without getting in range of your target ship's buddiesIn my experience this approach of fast ships with long range weapons make the AI much better at handling them without being destroyed. For your flagship you can certainly take much more risk and handle it properlySlow ships can obviously still do well if they have got the firepower, armour and/or flux to outlast anybody else. The Onslaught (XIV) is slow as hell (and the system does help a lot) yet it is still a beast.>Steady is good for slow or capital ships. Aggressive and Reckless is good for faster nimble shipsThe difference between steady and aggressive is that aggressive officers will seek to be close enough to the target ship as to fire at it with point defense weapons. It is just exposing their own ship to an unnecessary riskReckless is even worse, since it doesn't take into consideration the threat of other ships>A Reckless officer is the only thing you should ever put in an AuroraYeah mate try that against a full forced fleet with two pegasus, a conquest, five champions, two gryphons and a dozen eagles, hammerheads and sunders. A reckless officer isn't going to last a minute before being torn apart by missilesIf you are fighting near your colony or the core worlds and can get supplies and crewmen in a hitch it doesn't really matter, but in long expeditions away the cost of recovering two or three big ships destroyed in battle can be pretty steep
>>1741253>>1741248Wait, hold on fellas. I think I found the issue. I just did the battle again, and instead of sending all of my units out, I sent them all out one at a time. The error message didn't happen until I sent THIS ship out. If memory serves me, this is a Carter's Freetraders vessel. Now, the ship has never given me problems before, so it might be suffering from a mod incompatibility. I will test it independently to see.
>>1741255Okay, for some reason redoing that battle WITHOUT the CFT ship made it go smoothly. I'll tell you guys if I can reproduce this error in other battles.
>>1741255>he uses carter's freetradersOh nonono
>>1741255>he uses Carter's freetrannieskekarooo
>>1741267>>1741264So you think I should drop it? I'm a little too bloated on mods as is, I guess it wouldn't hurt to shave some fat.
>>1741269Drop it or switch it for another faction mod for your next playthrough at the very least. Dazs mods tend to be very, very unbalanced.
>>1741279Can't argue against that. They're kind of stupidly broken. Maybe I'll start this run over, since it was a CFT ship that was causing the crashes.
>>1741269Use whatever mods you want that anon is a sperg and probably is the lamp anon also.
>>1741287Nah, he made a good point. Just like how it was best for me to drop More Military Missions. It was fun, but it made it too easy to get money in the early game. I want to enjoy mods, not feel like I'm cheating. And funfact, that ship posted in the screenshot was pretty OP. It had a full on salvage gantry and did the work of 3 salvage rigs, at a fraction of the cost.
>>1741292These two >>1741264 >>1741267 are the same sperg who are not the same sperg as >>1741279If you need someone else to tell you what mods to use or not use you are a bigger tranny than matdamon.
I am thinking about Tempest builds with high scatter amplifier, but my brain seems to prefer advanced optics instead.Maybe going phase lance, grav beam and sabot with autoloader isn't the best way to fit a Tempest, but I'm not sure.

>>1741405I like to pair some brawlers with a pd/support carrier.
>>1741405It doesn't need point defense if it can just damper field the damage away. Alternatively S-mod IPDAI and let your autocannons be the point defense.

>>1741598It did not use to require a story point to make any small turret behave like pd so i wouldnt feel bad about it.

What (combat) ship do you think has the best captain's quarters?
I'm thinking of making a formula and loading all the ships in vanilla into a spreadsheet to find out mathematically what the best ships in the game are.Something like OP / DP is an obvious thing to measure and perhaps the most important value. Maintenance + fuel per light year could account for the strategy-layer cost of running the ship.I'm not sure how to use hull, armour, flux capacity, dissipation and speed to it.Maybe hull + armour + capacity could account for a general survivability value. Dissipation and speed could be paired with the OP / DP value to know the offense that the hull is capable of.Obviously the end result wouldn't be perfect since you would want to take into account ship systems and weapon mounts, but I think it would be a great starting point to know which hulls are generally good and which ones suck.
>>1741919Kite maybe? It has place for 30 people, but you can pilot it with just two. I can imagine a massive bedroom for you to live in with your waifu.

>>1741926Bro that's a commercial airliner.
>>17419442 smol missile slots with expanded racks and eccm are a great combat value for just 2 dp.
>>1741701downloading right now.
>>1741933You are very charitable in assuming that the Tri Jew designers wouldn't make the most inhumane bug-man accomodations possible for all crew except the captain.
>>1741975>best captain's quartersAlso I highly doubt that the 4000 luddiniggers cramped in an invictus are having personal suites each
>>1741985Considering who actually designed the thing, the Invictus definitely has an entire manor complex and ballroom for the Captain’s pleasure, the rest get plantation slave accommodations.
>>1741923Do it the same way everybody doing this kind of thing does because it's the only way to do it: multiply every parameter you think matters by some arbitrary coefficient to represent its weight in combat effectiveness and add them all up. Enjoy everybody calling you a retard because everybody disagrees on what those coefficientd should be based on personal preferences.
high tech good
>>1741761>Carter's junk hull mods is pretty dankIt's overpowered bullshit is what it is
>>1741764not with that attitude>>1741765The reasoning was that IPDAI wasn't chosen as a hullmod very often because people just wanted more damage out of their PD and not for all their small guns to act as PD. So he changed it to an S-mod perk and reduced the OP costs.
Why doesn't TT make hot androids to honey trap Heg officers?
>>1741919Odyssey. It was used as a corporate exploration capital, and in its description it was noted to have officer boardrooms which were too big. For being out on the frontiers for long periods of time having some luxury for the captain, officers, and command crew is probably a thought put into the design. Apogee is probably similar.
If I play Nex, is there an option when I pick which faction to be associated with where I am not in control of them? I picked Mayasura and Mairaath was in my control.

>>1742038Ipdai's change is due to alex got wind of people using it to extend any small weapon range from PD skill. Noticibaly 400m>600m antimatter blaster on ziggurat. This is a lot better than ballistic range finder as it serves energy mount too and ship without large ballistic and free bonus on target leading if not having gunnery and the rest of PD bonus and target leading is free.I still recommend IPDAI for any officerless ship to increase projectile accuracy if the build emphasis the offensive. Long range, fast strafe, in and out of range all has better response and hit rate.

Okay so I got the chart going.Basically:I compared all the vanilla combat ships, excluding phase ships and carriers.Since the values are all over the place the base numbers couldn't be compared what I did was compare the values of a given hull to the average in that category.Basically, if one ship has 1000 hull and 150 OP and another ship has 1100 hull and 100 OP, a basic sum would make it seem like the second ship is superior (it would be 1150 vs 1200). Using averages serves to balance all the stats, self-correcting for the fact that the numerical values in some stats are far larger than in others. Thus we are only seeing the percentage that a ship is better than another one in a given category, and them adding up those percentages translated to fractions. So, in the aforementioned example, the first one is 50% better in OP while the second one is only 10% better in hull. Everything else being the same, the first one is better.I did end up putting a weight to OP and speed, making OP twice as important and speed half as important. This is still more elegant than just grabbing the raw hull or armor number and multiplying it by X then adding it to flux capacity divided by Y.Then the "Efficiency" column is the weighted value divided by DP.The "Cost" column is just the addition of DP and fuel cost per lightyear. I ended up not using it for any other calculation.A few notes:Paragon seems surprisingly low.Smaller hulls seem to be much more efficient per DP.Assuming a 240 DP limit divided amongst just 30 ships, the shrike seems to be the best ship for a monohull fleet.
I'm getting filtered by the tutorial. The pirates have cruisers, energy weapons and high tech ships, all I have is a hammerhead and a few frigates full of D mods.
>>1742256>The pirates have cruisers, energy weapons and high tech shipsTutorial or missions at the start menu. Those missions at the start menu are supposed to be tough challenges not a tutorial.
>>1742242I think it is best to just use this to compare ships within the same size, accounting to the different roles they have.Centurion is likely the best frigate in the game (per DP) but that doesn't necessarily mean that you have to take 10 centurions over an onslaught.
Speaking of those missions I always thought this mod was cool that adds stuff to the storymode if you beat those missions. https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=24771.0 Nothing super overpowered but I find it a nice addition to the game. The only real OP thing is the salvage palettes from Callisto and even then its time balanced.
>>1742260brawler.
>>1742257The pirates blocking the jump gate in Galatia. I haven't played in a long time but I don't remember them being this strong

>>1742279The others are just bounties you only need to stabilize the gate. You don't have to even fight them if you can get around them. There is only one exit in galatia
>>1742284jump point not gate*
>>1742199Think again anon. Those mechs are retardedly scaled, the thing's fuckhueg.
>>1742300I know the scale next to normal ships, that ship isn't 15k crew large. Nice job putting another random modded ship next to it though kek>Think againNigger this isn't a batman cartoon
>>1742313Here, have it next to an Invictus then you seething autist. If Alex's buttplug can hold 4k (presumably in that white part in the middle unless there's bunks in the exposed conduit-trenches), then I think the Costa Concordia here being 100% dedicated to crew-carrying can hold 10k.
>>1742273>>1742284Also how do I get my frigates to fight more defensively? My Hounds just charge in and die trying to take on ships twice their size unless I order them to stay back
>>1742325show it in game, seething autist.
>>1742330He did, spazz
>>1742331Nah "he" didn't spazz, thats not in game nex to an invictus.

>>1742337Thats not how any of that works, you're going to need a tetanus shot from cumming in those usb ports.
teta anus shot haha
>>1742338>he changed the scalekek why?
>>1742341While it is true that anon's micropenis could probably fit inside a usb port, USB slots typically only have the outside comprised from stainless steel. The contacts themselves (which I can only assume will be giving anon an exciting sounding experience) are actually comprised from a copper alloy or brass typically.

>>1742345What are you even talking about? That's the same scale the thing's always been.
>>1741801Looks to be one of the mods that uses LazyLib as a base. Disable LazyLib and see which mods are auto-disabled along with it, should narrow it down for you.
>>1742351Yes.

I made a mech and its pretty cool.
>>1742424…can we see it?
>>1742484WHOA you can't just ask to see someone's mech like that its a personal thing.
>>1742201>and ArmaA already is its own faction just like MRC?It's not though? It's an indie sub-faction, they've got no presence on the campaign map.
>>1742494Read the whole post.
>>1742499???The post you originally replied to had shit that turns the ArmaA corp into it's own fully-fledged faction with it's own planet, commission and compatibility for Nex diplomacy events.I.e they aren't relegated to an indie sub-market anymore.
>>1742514And thats what the dev plans are longterm like MRC...
Just a remainder that if you use:>carriers>phase ships>ziggurat>remnant ships>meta setups>more than one capitalYou didn't beat the game.
>>1742550nah thats you
>>1742550>carriersI understand that they can be spammed to break the game, but even one or two is too much?Also, aren't most remnant ships really not that great?
>>1742554carriers rule anon drools
>>1742550i dont remember niggurat being THAT good. it always die first whenever i let AI pilot it

>>1742186I have the latest version, 0.14.>>1742354Will do. I'll report back if I have any findings.
>>1742568We don't sign our posts here.
>>1742354Lost Sector has lazylib as a dependency, so that just further points to it being a possible candidate.
who needs carriers when you could just shit out hounds with fighter clamps and a talon squadron each
>>1742626that would be a carrier
>>1742630But it isn't. If there is no hangar and no way for strikecraft to land it cannot be a carrier. It's no different to a bomber or missile boat.
I hate how game is hardcoded to stop giving me appropriate bounties every time I am looking to do some mercenary job. It always either 2 frigates and a dram or pristine capital with massive cruiser escort.
>>1742635Get a military high importance contact and do a bunch of missions for them.Eventually they will start handing you bounties to kill 5 destroyers for 700,000 credits.Sure, those 5 destroyers have 3 S-mods each and level 10 officers, but they are still destroyers and for the money you are being paid you can spare the supplies needed to massively outnumber them.
>>1742634nope its carrying the strikecraft
>>1742641yet the strikecraft don't land, they cannot be a carrier unless you extend the definition and call things that carry things carriers, in which case everything becomes a carrier and that would make you a pussy for being carried by your fleet
>>1742635I guess you cool it off too much so it starts with 50k again, or you chained a lot so it ramped up and you couldn't keep up. It is hilarious that alex couldn't just spawn mission A)as player wish B)based on pass success. Could have created a tier system for bounties and ranking up.>>1742638can contact mission be picked up on comm or I always has to stop by that damn planet?
>>1742550Just a reminder that you are a flaming homosexual.
Okay. So Lost Sector wasn't causing the problems. I can cross that off the list. As an earlier anon suggested, I'll have to check every mod that has lazylib as a dependency.
>>1742754On the plus side, the list of mods I need to check should be minimal, since I can cross-reference my mod list with another guy having the same issue.https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=29024.0One of these should be causing the issue for both of us.
>>1742401Well yes, not using a scale comparison of an in-game screenshot vs the actual assets makes the other guy a total moron or a socially stunted autist.
>>1742643>nooooo its not a carrier even though it has strikecraft because I say it isnah
>>1742784I don't see them landing bro. They're just DEM missiles with a dude inside.
>>1742550
>>1742787Oh no its actually retarded.
>>1742793Listen, I hate to say it, but you're the plain retarded one. Sneethe about it and stay mad fag.
Y'know, this has been, for the most part, a pretty chill thread. You think it's because of the misspelling in the OP?
>ship carries ships, ships fly around ships>NOOO ITS NOT A CARRIER BECAUSE IS SAY SOkek
>>1742799shut up noah/timid/matdamon/etc.
>so assblasted by a definition he can only greentext about how retarded he isKWAB
>>1742806I'm sorry you're so assblasted, greentext "anon"
>>1742809I appreciate the (you), noah
Whoa, you can't just go around calling people the n word
>>1742814Fucking rude. I was joking around, you're just being hurtful.
>>1742626>fighter clampsWhat mod are those from, and what's their drawback? I want to make a retarded fleet that's just frigates with fighters.
>>1742835Kite swarms are hilarious. When it comes to fighterspam I prefer converted mules though.
Okay, so I think I've narrowed down the possible problems causing the error. I've been looking at each mod dependent on lazylib, and experimenting and seeing if the issue persists. Here's my work so far. For the record, one of these is my modlist, the other is a modlist from a person on the forums experiencing the same issue. By process of elimination, I marked off mods that aren't installed on both of our games, since there has to be a common mod causing the problem, so it should be one that both of us have installed. Right now the list has been narrowed down to this:>unknown skies>SS arma>ship and weapon pack>Nexerelin>lazylib>Lunalib>Graphicslib>Industrial evolution>Hyperdrive>HMI>Speedup>DiableI disabled Lost Sector and combat chatter, to no avail, as the error still persisted even on a new save. So they've been ruled out. I'm also ruling out the 3 library mods (graphic, lazy and luna) since they worked just fine earlier. I'm ruling out Diable because he has a completely different version, so it can't be a problem in both. Thoughts?
try a new save without unknown skies and hmi
>>1742877That's my next plan of action.
>>1742880I use all those other than hyperdrive, hmi, and unknown skies with 0 issues plus a lot other shit.
>>1742892I don't think Unknown skies is the culprit, but it'll be worth experimenting without it anyway. HMI, on the other hand, is the one that added all of the non-vanilla remnant ships from all of my past screenshots, so it could very well be the perpetrator here.
>>1742896Indeed just mentioning my own experience for the sake of your sanity.
>>1742875i would've said it might be my mech music mod since am retarded but you don't have it so idk at this point.i'll give you this though: i have these mods>SS arma>lazylib>Lunalib>Graphicslib>Industrial evolution>Hyperdrive>Speedupin my save and i have never experienced this crash. so maybe one of the remaining ones? oooor you've got an old buggy version of something or it's a mod conflict.
>>1742913you are indeed a retard
>>1742914yes, that i am, selkie. oh also, since it's a combat crash, i don't think hyperdrive could do anything because it's a campaign only thing?
>>1742915>selkienice try timid
>>1742919funny how anons try to bury you into the ground with insults from all over the planet and then it just goes>>1741326>>1741330>>1741333lol anyway boggled. have you made the decision to go back yet?
>>1742913Yeah, I've never had a problem with those mods in the past. Like a guy before said, it could possibly be HMI. I also tend to update all of my mods the moment an update is available for them so nothing should be obsolete. There IS the possibility of mod conflict, never thought of that.
>>1742920yeah ok chase
>>1742923who is this "cheese" you speak of, dragn?
>>1742924I could go for some cheese sticks right now.
>>1742925too bad! all the good cheese is on gilead. do you walk the path?
>>1742927Anyone cool praises ludd, brother.
>>1742928so say we all- i mean ame- uh the uhhh i mean burn bright, walker.
>>1742759Anon, I will be real with you here. I read your post several times over, looked back at the posts in question several times, and I genuinely have no idea what the fuck you think should have been done.Did you want a side-by-side of the in-game screenshot next to the thing of the sprites pasted next to one another?
>>1742930i think we need a banana for scale while showcasing a paragon. that should do it?
oh. it's about that big white capital. a banan would still suffice i believe.

I love Ludd
>>1743108No you don’t
Is it just me, or has this game's modding scene slowed to a crawl over the past couple of months?
>>1743219It’s been slowing for years. No one wants to come back and update their shit when an ancient game updates. It’s all Alex’s fault for taking an eternity to finish the game.
So what would be actual realistic prices for the colony items?

>>1743256Wouldn't you know, Noah
>>1743227A pristine nanoforge would probably be almost priceless. It should deserve the "talk to a faction npc" treatment that the planet killer got, except even more impactful. I would say, going off of how a pristine nanoforge would be significant at a strategic level, 5 million at least would probably be more than fair, plus a massive rep boost. It'd be interesting if different factions have different prices though, like how Tri-tach is the megacorp but also doesn't have one so they'd probably be willing to pay through the nose.
>>1743360>5 million at least50m*
>>1743360retard here, is a pristine nanoforge that good for player colony?i have 2 and 3 corrupted
Ya'll gay as fuck
>>1743360A pristine nanoforge would be an entire planet for you to rule. Maybe class V at least. That's based on lore capabilities of course, the actual in-game effect is rather lackluster and worth nowhere near as much. Then again the setting itself has gradually evolved from being DRM hell to something a bit more industrially capable.
>>1743370Use better mods.
>the player is able to find colony items easily even at the start and with a shit fleet>those top-tier indie merc fleets couldn't find shit over 200 years lol
>>1743406The Persean Sector is also tiny in vanilla. Really it should take months or even years of travelling at light speed to get to the outer reaches but that obviously wouldn't work with the timescale the game uses.
>someone did the "save the children" bounty before I could do it>the one that gives you the virtuous>can't find the virtuous wreck anywhereCan vulture scavengers claim the wreck?
>>1743412hyperspace is literally FTL
>>1743424>Can vulture scavengers claim the wreck?The AI can only scavenge actual ships if they're in world spawn locations, ie. Debris rings, asteroid belts/fields, planetary bodies, hyperspace etc.Theoretically if a unique ship gets wrecked in battle, AND drifts in to a world spawn location, AND there's a scavenger fleet there, AND they run the scavenge rule, it's possible for them to claim the wreck, which de-spawn the ship from the game. But the chances are slim.
>>1743485When I entered the system, there were no less than 5 salvage fleets, and Diable's system is full of asteroid belts and debris rings and planetary bodies, so yeah I'm royally screwed.
>>1743424>>1743494At this point, just use the console commands mod and spawn it in. Nobody will care.
>>1743510It really doesn't matter to me anyway, because of the virtuous starter option, but it was a shame.
>>1743519>addship's you
>>1743424Just kill The Last Line yourself
>>1743657This was before I even got a fleet up. You'd be surprisedly how quickly someone will invade Diable's system and slaughter their fleets. Admittedly, it was my fault since I should've been in system to nab the Virtuous, incase the Last Line was destroyed from an invasion fleet. My mistake. You tend to ignore invasion fleets unless they're of a certain size. I've personally become accustomed to ignoring anything that doesn't have more than 4 fleets. Anything above that makes for good salvage.
>>1743689Didn't the faggot Matt give a way to get the virtuous without going hostile to DA?
>>1743693Don't remember. Probably a gay questline or something.
Starsector? More like StarSEXtor!
>>1743879With remnants!
>>1742930If you need to put pixel markers in a straight line then that means there is no scaling difference from the assets or is a universal resize which doesn't actually change the difference between the two ships.

Anon from earlier who kept having that weird error crashing message. I didn't want to do this, but there's no other options left.>uninstalled + reinstalled the entire game>deleted and then re-downloaded every single mod>further cleaned out the modlistAt the very least, my previous experiments have shown that Lost Sector, HMI, Unknown skies, and several others are clean and aren't the cause of the issue. With that said, if the issue still persists, I'll have to keep getting more extreme. Already uninstalled Blackrock Drive yards, and I'm gonna run a test without Xhan Empire. I may also try a run without Bultach. Anything with lazylib as a dependency could be the cause.
>>1743958Blackrock is fucking ancient, it's not going to be that.
>>1743979Still, I need to test everything. Every single last mod has to be on the chopping block. Plus, it being ancient means that it could be having a conflict with another mod, since the only way I've been able to play it is with a fan compatibility patch, which came with an unofficial balance addon. It could be the culprit, so it's worth it to be thorough.
>>1743958im still going to say its secrets of the frontier and the addtional combat objectives it spawns which probably conflict with the remants you fought earlier
>>1744000You know what, you might be right. I AM using a beta version that's technically not ready for release. Come to think of it, I should've removed that one first.
>>1744000>>1744011Right now, the next test will involve the following:>temporary removal of bultach and xhan empire, and blackrock just to be certain>removal of ship and weapon pack (another user on the forum has this mod installed, and they're having the same error as me)>removal of SOTF
>>1743958>>1743979Blackrock crashes my game whenever the Gonodactylus hits with its special missile, it could definitely be something within it that just doesn't play nice with current starsector.
Still don't know what to name my guy

>>1744111>inspection fleets now?Kill the 3 times and go talk to the high brazilian nigger
>>1744111Heg will send three fleets after your colonies.First two are pretty easy. Third one is huge. You can btfo the third fleet by tactical bombing the planet it comes from while it is being prepared.Afterwards go talk with manlet nigga and tell him to fuck off.
I feel like tac-bombing is too easy. Just about every crisis can be solved by tac-bombing the origin planet, and given that they're supposed to be end-game threats, it's a bit sad that you can kneecap the faction's subjugation fleets that easily before they're even in orbit.Additionally, they're some of the most fun fleets to fight against. Not just the shitty pirate ships or overwhelming remnant ships, but actual ships like the ones you have in your fleet, engaging in mostly equal grounds, and all factions are different in fun ways.
>>1744272Sat bombing then
i just fight the fleets head on.it's no fun nipping them in the bud.
>those mercenaries with their puny fleets i left them actually managed to destroy 3 stations (not maxed out) and disrupt several of my industries before i arrived at my systemi'm livid!i'll get my 6k marines and disrupt all the tri jew industries i can manage to.
