goddamn the official wiki has me questioning if the people on it actually play the game
might as well be the terraria wiki

>>1902604
oh god it gets worse the more I look at it
i'm talking about the wiki.gg one btw which is linked on the official site
https://starsector.wiki.gg/wiki/Starsector_Wiki

case in point
https://starsector.wiki.gg/wiki/Eradicator?diff=prev&oldid=21335 (current version as of typing this is just minor formatting changes)
what the fuck is this shit
>It is not without flaws however. Its lower hull and armor stats pales in comparison to other heavier cruisers.,
nigga it's a fast cruiser not a heavy cruiser, of course it's not gonna be as tanky as other ones
>and its omni-shield is also lacking in strength and coverage when compared to high-tech designs.
wow thanks captain obvious
>Coupled that with it's aggressive firepower capabilities, it can be hard pressed to keep the Eradicator's flux under control. Overloading can be a common issue that may need to be addressed.
sounds like a fitting issue
>Regardless of the loadout, the Eradicator should not be considered as a front-line cruiser but a highly mobile cruiser that is capable of surgical strikes.
hell fucking no
i've had so many successes with brawling eradicators and they rarely blow up against subcapitals
>To assist to clearing the way for the torpedoes, 3 Heavy Needler will be mounted. With the Eradicator's Accelerated Ammo Feeder, it will allow the Eradicator to overwhelm and break through most shield generators.
Heavy needlers are OP hungry, have relatively low DPS for their range, and they don't get boosted as much by the Accelerated Ammo Feeder.

>>1902483
there's still like 10 more ships I need to add
then make the variants for them

I'm gonna finetune SDXL on a 2500 ship sprite dataset, gen half a thousand slop ship for each vanilla factions, hoard all the fighters and weapon into a gigantic modpack and go ham on random sector, I'll use only vanilla mechanics and free myself from the mod cabal

Planning on starting a new playthrough because a lot of mods got updated, but is there a way to keep the Kadur around and raiding without systems like the pirates and pathers? They usually get invaded by Greater Hedge early game and just peters out without fulfilling their nomad horse raider destinies.

>>1903735
Randomly generated ships could be a genuinely interesting concept I'd play with
Maybe you could release the ship generator stuff and let us generate our own ships or feed in sprites to see what it'll cook based on modded factions' design styles

>>1903735
will the resulting sprites be cleaned up once taken out of the slop forges with stuff like turret locations & whatever remade/moved around for balancing, or are you just gonna put the slop in, well, slop

>>1903918
I'd cut a faction mod or several to save yourself a headache of sorting through 500 different guns. Or just cut HMI, that's like 50% of the bloat by itself. Try Knights of Ludd instead.

>>1904022
I might. Had to cut out Volkov Industrial Conglomerate because their guns were stupidly powerful, as in it wasn't even a choice between them or literally any other gun.

>>1904027
VIC guns are fun and flashy at least. I'm sitting here in the middle of a playthrough with FPE, VRI and PMMM among others in it and wondering why did I ever think it was a good idea to use any of the three, they hardly have a single memorable thing between them.

>>1904022
>Try Knights of Ludd instead.
Do not

>>1902622
Here’s my hot take, the eradicator is the best brawling cruiser because it can not only brawl, but is also fast enough to get to where it brawling actually matters
I have never seen a slow heavy cruiser do well regardless what it is

>>1904057
true
fast enough to close the distance with the majority of ships that’d otherwise have a range advantage
and high enough firepower to cripple/disable/rout any ships that can outrun it

on the topic of ship speeds maybe I should write up a reference guide for ship “speed tiers” so you can check the top speed for a ship with varying factors like base speed, mods/d-mods, skills, systems, nav buoys, etc
might be useful, particularly for those wanting to check what ships a given ship is able to outrun/pursue effectively

i don’t really care about this discussion but what i do care about is checking those quads

With how similar this game feels to Sid Meier's Pirates! or M&B I find myself mentally filling in the blanks with how my crew is doing. Like what their daily lives are like on the ships, whether or not they would be in high morale or how their mood might depend on what we're doing or how long we've been away or what it's like when the fleet goes dark. A crew morale system or XP system separate from officers or player leadership would be cool, or flavor events and dialogue while you're out in space.
It would be a little at odds with the setting though with how grim everything is, hundreds of lives is a disposable number cheaper than a single weapon at times, but it would be neat.

@rsdev / rapesector dev
Appreciate the work done on the mod, but I have a suggestion
The changelog is hard to read right now, can you change the template for it?

When I work on my lewd mod for CK3 (Regula Magistri 2) I write my changelogs like so
https://gitgud.io/ban10/regula-magistri/-/blob/master/Regula_Magistri/CHANGELOG-V4.md

This makes it easier to see what the changes are between versions, compared to RS
Right now I'm on v0.3.4f while the latest is v0.3.4k, and I have no idea what the difference between the two versions are.
https://gitgud.io/rsdev/RapeSector/-/blob/master/changelog.txt?ref_type=heads

>>1904963
Hello. That's a reasonable suggestion.
I currently treat the changelog just as a checklist for fixes and features. Small bugfixes, etc. increment the alpha part of the patch version.
The topmost entry is the "dev version", and once the changes pile high enough I increment the numeric part and announce a new update.
I personally prefer to let fixes/features stack so players won't have to redownload the mod every time I make a small change. But as you said, this does make it difficult to see what changed between patches.
Your changelog format with markdown definitely looks cleaner and easier to understand. I'll see if I can do something similar.

Nonexistent.
It's literally 1 (one) fetch quest to the neighbouring planet for a single mcguffin, nets you 2 unique carrier officers and one advanced fighter wing, without any further explanation.
Then you just have three single events where you can recruit 2 captains and 1 admin. (Admin costs 2.5x more than normal, but allows you to turn ruins into AI defence fleet, +1 production for all industries or alpha core factory)
Other than that it's just grinding rep (rs helps a lot here) with admins until they offer you their turbo capitals for 60.000.000.
You also have to be commissioned to them which is a pain.
Their giftshop where you sell planet survey data for colony items and unique ships is nice tho.

redpill me on the apogee, i always thought it was a meme ship

>>1905507
NTA, for a civilian ship it is very competent in combat.
The large mounts allow it to fight most cruisers favourably and it can even hold against some capitals for a long time due to its very strong shield.
It is however very slow and sluggish, so it's a terrible solo ship. Can work extremely well as an early game anvil though.

>>1905507
its an 'exploration' ship, good logistical/worldmap stats and pretty good combat stats,TWO LARGE MOUNTS, the downside is some weird turret arcs and the front large being hardpointed on a ship with meh turning rate,give it tachyon and large homing rockets of your choice and snipe niggers,

>>1905570
A High Intensity Laser is a strong option if you give it some kinetic options (missiles, or a specialized escort).
The tachyon Lance is kind of an inefficient anti-anything weapon like the Mjolnir.

>>1905570
autopulse, IR pulse laser, ion pulser on the front, with s-modded expanded magazines and stabilized shields is a godlike player controlled strike cruiser that is basically unkillable

>>1905577
you can also put burst pd laser and ir autolance/ion pulsers on the back mounts to really, maximize the use of that s-modded expanded magazines. non s-mod hardened shields makes your shields even more unbreakable. with the shield skills (especially with second-in-command, the technical tree gives you 20 percent fleetwide hard flux dissipation through shield near the end) you can tank frontal onslaught fire while backing off and be fine

I was actually shocked when i saw it was 20 dp. i assumed it was 30 because it is preferrable to the fury and aurora in a lot of ways (being able to mount a large energy is insanely good)

>>1905609
Fury is a bit shit.
Aurora can get stupid alpha damage and is quick enough to make use of it.

>>1905610
the apogees top speed is only 20 lower, and it has superior tanking stats for 10 less DP
the large energy slot makes up for fewer overall weapon mounts, and you also have a large missile for strike/finisher weapons if you want

>>1905611
Aurora has Plasma Jets. so it's average speed is quite a big higher than its stated 80.

Thing is
It's not a Civilian ship at all
it doesn't benefit from the bulk transport so no free +2 burn 4 u

it is 100% a hightech combat and exploration ship

>>1905775
You're right, I mis remembered. though burn 8 is reasonable, pretty much any fleet should have 2 Ox.
Still the point stands that it can be a very strong early game centerpiece in a fleet with smaller escorts.
I think it falls off mid to late game, especially with mods that give more exploration ship options.

>>1905789

the 2 back medium mounts could point directly forwards

Wherever modders go there will be modding drama. To be a modder you need copious free time and you need to be into vidya enough to code/sprite stuff. That's a huge overlap with the terminally-online poorly socialized bullied nerd demographic.

yeah but somehow, the sethtide kids brought NGO drama back from it's year long death and turned that mod into a martyr so they could go and screencap their epic critiques on the forums by their 1-post accounts, completely demolishing the general's original culture in the process.

people itt memoryholed that bit from the sheer embarrassment. Before that the biggest thing you'd see was people complaining about varya being an unmedicated schizo ranting about politics on his mod threads.

NGO has never left. It is immortal. It outlived Vayra. It will outlive all of the troonmods.

By that logic Vayra's and Soren's shit is immortal too because they're maintained by someone else.

>>1906721

>>1906721
Okay, yes, you're right.
But it's way funnier to say that NGO outlived the commie mod.
But NGO and DME will be updated forever. I could see Vayra being dropped eventually.

>>1906715
>the sethtide kids brought NGO drama back from it's year long death and turned that mod into a martyr
So let me understand this correctly, the cabal conspired, drove NGO off the forums, implemented crash code in all their mods (and blamed the crashes on NGO when people asked why their games were crashing), issued faked DMCA takedowns in Alex's name to remove it from 3rd party websites and you're complaining that the sethtide kids made a martyr of it. I see nothing wrong here.

And let us not forget, the enduring spirit of NGO also led to the development RS, arguably the most based mod out there.

The irony is if the discord cabal allowed NGO to be in peace, there would have been no drama and RS would never have came to be.

>>1906727
Objectively speaking NGO is a basic, competent at best faction mod.
Without the drama it most likely would have died on its own and it would have been forgotten years ago, like many mods that died on 0.6, 0.8, etc.

>>1906727
>The irony is if the discord cabal allowed NGO to be in peace, there would have been no drama and RS would never have came to be.
hard disagree. rapesector is a direct development from the anime waifu modding scene that took off after some youtubers picked up UAF. the newfag boom chasing after anime girls is another one of the things that fucked up the community.

>>1906727
>the cabal conspired, drove NGO off the forums, implemented crash code in all their mods (and blamed the crashes on NGO when people asked why their games were crashing)
which happened a year plus before sseth's video and both /ssg/ and the forums straight up forgot about it because NGO was already an ancient nearly dead mod before it got gangraped.

Taht only happened after the sethtide kids started talking shit.
>And let us not forget, the enduring spirit of NGO also led to the development RS, arguably the most based mod out there.
schizotake, RS is a consequence of UAF and the wave of asian gacha graphics faction mods. You may call it an ancestor of the /ssg/ anime portrait pack but even then it was bound to happen as long as losers kept making waifu portraits for their factions.

Don't give a fuck about you or the cabal, I was making /ssg/ OPs before both existed and like the fly I am I'll buzz about your retarded revisionism every time you bring it up.

>Taht only happened after the sethtide kids started talking shit.
Oh, I guess that makes it ok then....

>>1906739
>h, I guess that makes it ok then....
yep.
Matter of fact, the NGO mod was shared all the time before that.
Then you came and shat on the carpet and started harassing people.
To nobody's surprise the people affected started looking for ways to fuck with you.

>NGO
it's a shit mod desu
nobody would care if not for the drama

>>1906747
hey before modding tech went crazy it was up there with imperium and the other classics

>>1906715
someone give me the tldr about Vayra is he just a faggot lib or a schizo?

>>1906768
Made a couple of the classic faction mods, tried the first (or second can't remember) gameplay conversion, varyasector. dunno if he was a troon but he was a commie and very trollish about it.
Problem was that he's a real schizo of the "incoherent ranting" type and he got more and more unhinged as time went by. He would have been banned desu but people pitied him since he was basically one the community darlings.
In the end the problem solved itself, he just fell into inactivity.

image a starsector were we focused on gameplay mods instead of waifumods

>>1906716
Noise. But you know what? I'm the damn captain and If I demand penis to noise conversion I better hear a dammed yes sir.

I haven't used VS is ages, but im pretty sure at this point 100% of VS can be done with other mods with a fraction of the bloat.

>>1906728
NGO would probably still be around, right before the drama exploded I remember there being some talk about Ahne giving the mod over to be maintained, there was even some redesigned sprites and stuff floating around before it was nuked. So if no drama, it would still be around, maybe as barebones as the bootleg, but maybe with some new stuff, i honestly forget who was planning to take over.
Another reason why NGO sticks around is that it has a cool striking style, yes i know it's from another game, but still it hits the sweet spot of DA, SCY, and BRD, of being sufficently different but still feeling like starsector without just being kitbashed or "hey its hegi... but blue." Compare it to other nazi mod, or the dozens of shitbash factions, NGO ships look 2x better.

>>1906727
>the enduring spirit of NGO also led to the development RS
RS is actually good
NGO is not, and only gained notoriety because of the dev's sperg-out

The forums have always hated us because we were able to make bootleg updates for abandoned mods faster than they were.

This is why wikis should document facts.
Not subjective shit like guides and tips.

>>1906846
NGO was good for the standards of the time it was made.
It's just a faction mod, with no major gimmicks to it, but it has a cohesive style that is both unique enough and fitting to the setting.
It's no Diable or Sylphon with their fancy animations but it was and still is a step above kitbash factions.

>>1906970
its become a meme to say it was never good at this point, probably from people who weren't around when the mod was actively developed

>>1906920
the forums have some stick up their ass where you cant do anything to a dead mod without 5 different handwritten letters from the original mod author, their mother, alex, and 2 different different moderators saying you can, before that, you can't even think of changing some lines to make the mod 0.8+ compatible

>>1906969
i’m fine with guides on wikis as long as they provide actually useful and straightforward tips and stick to actually relevant information
and most importantly that they’re actually giving good advice

The only critique I can give to NGO is that its weapon sprites are ass
its nothing but turrets with no alternate sprite for hardpoint mounts
Which I guess is fair since every NGO ship is nothing but turrets but you can put those weapons on non NGO ships too which makes them look stupid when placed on hardpoints

Their ship sprites are really cool to shitbash with
especially when you do it on DME ships since it makes Soren seethe
but trying to kitbash NGO's weapons to other mod's weapons... it just don't work as well as the ships

>>1906774
I think you're in the wrong thread

Aria has trannies
it uses its same female anime profile pics for the "male" officers in proc generation

>>1907103
I don't think anyone here would be cross with you if you wanted to make an update/expansion to NGO.
>Soren
All I know of him is that the commies hated him and he snapped at them several times so I have a soft spot for him, even if objectively he wasn't a very nice person.

>>1907106
That's not trannies, that's the author being lazy and not wanting to gen dudes.
Or make it so the game only spawns females, is that even possible?

>>1907106
those are just girls (male)

>>1907107
>All I know of him is that the commies hated him and he snapped at them several times so I have a soft spot for him
He's a pro-commie himself
where the fuck did you get that story from
he's a piece of shit that shitbashed sprites from vanilla and complains when other people do the same saying all the pixels belong to him or something

>>1907108
>>Or make it so the game only spawns females, is that even possible?
It's possible
he's just really fucking lazy
but now that means there are "women" you can't rape

>>1907112
He snapped at the commie clique on the unofficial "official" discord several times and eventually got banned from there because of that.
I didn't save screenshots and it was years ago.
Where are you getting that he's pro commie?
>>1907113
Still, I think it's a bit unfair to say he added trannies, that wasn't his intention at all. If anything he went the opposite path in a dumb/lazy way.

>>1907114
>>Where are you getting that he's pro commie?
He made commie ship variants in his own mod man on top of DME being soviet russia
what more proof do you want

>>1907125
>commie ship variants
What? I'm not seeing anything in the files?
>DME being soviet russia
They're French?

>>1907127
>What? I'm not seeing anything in the files?
The one that comes with Sephira has it removed
I think KS's version still has it

>>1907103
every mod weapon looks mismatched when put on vanilla (or other mod's) hulls

>>1907154
I'm telling you to make me more weapon sprites I can use so I can make this "mod" feel more complete

>>1907108
>Or make it so the game only spawns females, is that even possible?
There was a mod that did the opposite, BitchesLeave. Stopped all females spawning as officers (except scripted ones).

Shouldn't be too hard to modify.

>>1907113
There are a bunch of mods that are only meant to have female officers but still have the male/female thing, so if it is possible I've never seen it.

>>1907201
just have the male sprite be only a helmeted faceless dude

>>1907127
I recall the last version of DME being stuffed with pro-ukro shilling so I don't know where the "commie" thing even comes from.

Buckbreakers

My current mod list is 137 mods and that's after multiple trimmings (down from 360).
What are you looking for?
Ashes of the Domain is the big ongoing thing right now, I guess.
Factions you're just better off browsing on your own, the big good ones are the same as they've been for years.
Advanced Gunnery is really a must have, so much control to make the AI better.

So how is that java 24 mod? Would you say it improves the game? Not sure if it's just another discord scam. Upgrading from java 7 to 8 really improved the game, but I'm still on the fence.

>>1907390
>Would you say it improves the game
Yes, game runs way better.
It also has its own separate launcher so you can go back at any moment.
Earlier versions had compatibility issues with some mods but I haven't had any with the latest verion.
Java 24 does have one annoying issue: sometimes when you launch the game it will immediately crash with an error about loading some files. If you try to launch it again, it will crash. It will do this 4 to 20 times. Then it will launch and work perfectly.

>>1907390
i gained 11-16 fps using it.

>try using the java 24
>look at the .bat files that come with it
>already have to manually edit them, because they don't even point to the right drive letter

Oh boy, I can't wait to see what spaghetti code this 'cord modder has in store.

It has a lot of content.
The Academy research is cool and gives you some special weapons for your faction.
The detachments would be neat if they weren't bugged to shit.
The artillery is interesting and does make some vanilla markets a bit harder to attack.
Pets are shit.
Academies are a fine little bit of QoL.
Exploration content is fine, nothing incredible.
The governments... you're probably only going to use the default and maybe the rural one on food planets.
The terraforming is far inferior to DiY planets.

How has the base game changed in the last few years? I do NOT care about mods, especially not the malware infested Starsector ones.
Is the actual game better now and if so how so?

>>1907875
The combat AI has gotten a significant downgrade since old versions (1 star system era).
Old AI was way better with positioning, exploiting shield arcs, ganging up on enemy ships, shield flickering, decisiveness.

>>1907877
That's terrible news. Isn't there anything positive to say?

>>1907878
Outside of combat the game has gotten better, bigger.
Exploration and colonies did not exist, factions were barebones.
But I wish we could just get the old combat AI back in, it could do things like kill an Onslaught in a fast frigate because it took shield and weapon arcs into account.
New AI does take shield arcs into accounts (not sure if it cares about weapon arcs) but it feels like it forgets every several seconds.

Do we still seethe about Tahlan Chadworks because we're shit at the game?
