these make fights so hairy they just charge right in and pick on somebody before skedaddling out and hanging out with the ramparts at range, none of them got fluxed out and were only killed by being shot in the ass. Shocking nothing was taken out as I couldn't even look at what they were doing with all the ramparts I had to blow up.

>>2379583Surprisingly based post.
>>2379309I wouldn't bother chasing down tiny groups of pirates for shits and gigs, but taking efficient fights is how you get ahead. Anything you're getting paid for is worth fighting, whether that be from faction bounties, personal bounties, or high value drops (i.e. remnant AI cores, threat/dweller weapon drops, etc)
>>2379464Eradicator>fast>lots of ballistic gun hardpointsmeets your criteriaboth the variants are good enough; the normal variant brings an accelerated ammo feeder while the pirate version has a burn drive to go even faster than it already does
>>2379464For long range strike its the regular eradicator (a bit pricey though above the 20 DP) and for brawling/SA its the pirate version but the later is more useful in small skirmishes and falls short in late game content (its actually quite good at robbing convoys and fucking with small patrols/detachments).
>>2379765>>2379464*unless ofc you are looking for a personal flagship to have fun in which case you want a retribution.
>>2379236it is workingyes ha ha ha yes
>>2379767*Cries in conquest*
>>2379796fuck the conk, NPC-tier "flagship" that needs a jankfit to do its gimmick. at least the hegger NPC capital is actually good. oddy does the same thing better. literally any modslop battlecruiser is better than, less retarded than a conq.
>>2379236>>2379791<< The guy who pulled out Corvus's sword is here. Be careful! >>
>>2379803Fuck you leatherman. Maybe we should settle it in the ring here if you think you're that tough with that jabroni flagship of yours.
Discussing this game outside of this thread is impossible. So many people are like "oooh there's not enough story" and "I want a conclusion where you save the day with love and friendship, just like muh anime sims".Nobody can appreciate a grungy space simulator where shit sucks and you just have to make do. Why does everything need a squeaky clean ending? Yes I want a conclusion to the story, but it better not be some gay disney ending.
>>2379834Its shit as a personal flagship (not fast enough). Its something you leave for the AI and that build doesnt work good for it. Its one hell of a kiter though.
>>2379859You can push it but yeah, needs compromises to do it. I just fucking like flying it anon. Great weapon profile and it's not like you need too much to beat vanilla fits. Plus it's getting +10 base speed if I'm not mistaken so that's cool.
>>2379796Yeah, conq is supposed to be the "relatively fast ship with lots of ballistics" but as much as a personally like it, it's just shit. It's OP starved, guns point in different directions so the "meta" is to build just one side anyway and that triggers my autism. Dies to everything because it has neither armour nor shields and the fast is a lie because half the capitals are just plain faster and/or have a better movement system.The only thing it has is the higher baseline flux stats which lets you dakka but which is probably why it gets that unusually bad shield efficiency as a balancing factor, but you are still really coming up behind on defensive capability.It's fun if you manage to find yourself in the middle of garbage and go "I'm not surrounded I can attack in any direction" but frankly you could do that with any other ship at this point.Conq really is just roster filler for NPCs to use like other anon said.
>>2379857I wish it sucked more. In vanilla it's easy to get a colony and infinite money. And then what? Optimize a fleet to take out an enemy that you have to find, for weapons you don't need to use.
>>2379871This. It's incredibly fun building a small little outpost for my people, but then I end up becoming too strong.
Conquest's ballistic slots need to be replaced with composites.
>>2379875Would be an objective nerf under most builds.
>>2379870It sure as hell doesn't have great roi for 40 goddamn DP in AI hands but you're selling it short. Lotta firepower and 315 OP with HBI is hardly the worst thing imaginable compared to 300(310) on legion or 280 on ody that also have the temptation of flight decks. You do you but one of my favorite flagships since it was introduced. >>2379875We have pegasus at home. Now SYNERGY slots and you've got me erect and listening.
>>2379857>Yes I want a conclusion to the story, but it better not be some gay disney ending.i got bad news anon. there's two tumblr lesbians as named support characters and they're going to get a happy ending and it's going to be hella gay.

>>2379561NTA but I personally just don't want one singular faction consistently taking over the entire sector in Nexerelin when I spend more than three attoseconds outside of the core worlds. Hegemony already does this with pure vanilla factions and it sucks there too.
>>2380721The idea behind nexerelin is perfect. The issue is twofold. One is that the vanilla factions are severely imbalanced. The game starts off with the hegemony having already snowballed. The other one is the fact that, in Warband, you have internal faction structures. Lords defect, switch factions, take fiefs and armies with them. It curbs snowballing to at least some degree because even if one faction stomps others, it can fail internally. Starsector doesn't have that. Speaking of warband, anyone tried this one?https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=34114.0Ive been giving it the sideye mainly because of it being tooich "dude what if I make it LITERALLY warband" instead of just taking and choosing mechanics that fit. Feasts and having to go to your fiefs to collect your income in a setting like starsector sounds utterly fucking retarded.
>>2380740tbqh part of the problem is that Starsector, while it is static in terms of actual base game mechanics, doesn't really seem to be meant to be all that static long term. The Hegemony probably will take over the sector in the near future.- tri-tachyon blew their load in the AI war- persean league is basically a loose kazeronian empire and one of the main gens wants to rejoin the hegemony anyways- sindria's great leader is dead- and the Hegemony itself, aside from superior industrial base and numbers (most of the sector's population lives in Chicomoztoc) currently has an effective leader, DaudThe near future probably involves the Hegemony reannexing Sindria and Kazeron joining the Hegemony under favourable terms (with the Gens enjoying a status similar to the Eventide aristocracy, albeit even wealthier due to their industrial base, and probably quickly becoming the real power inside the Hegemony), and at that point nothing else can stop them, besides John Starsector.This will never be played out ingame, but that's basically what the current status quo points towards. So Nex having the Hegemony stomp isn't unrealistic.
>>2380740>The game starts off with the hegemony having already snowballed.You can (mostly) fix this with randomized sectors with faction weights turned off, putting every faction on an even playing field when it comes to colonies. I say mostly fix because due to the political alignment statistics Nex comes with, some factions are just naturally more aggressive than others. Even with everyone having the same amount of colonies, Hegemony and Persean League will be calling for invasions way more often than the Church or Tri-Tach. This is also why specific mod factions (i.e. Legio) completely engulf everything within a few months.
>>2380743You're approaching this entirely from a lore/worldbuilding PoV while ignoring the fact that this seriously hampers the gameplay structure. In the end, for video games, writing serves gameplay, especially sandbox titles. This rule goes double so for game with writing as utterly schlocky as Starsector, and where,if you look at the history of the project, it's clearly been an afterthought and only now has become a vessel for some failed hack writer to LARP his writing career. The game does not benefit in any way from having a shitty spy extraction storyline of some literally fucking who for which the gameplay boils down to nothing more than flying between planets to spend hours reading bargain bin genre fiction.

The Legion desperately needs a buffIt's main use are the fighters which are unbearably dogshit in 0.98 and even if they were good...It still is mediocre carrier and shit capital that doesn't have the staying power to fight on the front-line and doesn't have the speed to disengage Either it needs to become a better carrier and get 1 more hangar with something like a built-in expanded deck crew, or it needs it's flux and shield buffed so it can actually stay and fight.Legion XIV is also mega-ass. The way i would see it is I would give it the highest flux stats of all low-tech and give it a good shield to make it the "we have high tech at home" of low-tech which could synergise with Onslaughts by absorbing hits with their shield to take the pressure off them when they overflux or get their armor stripped. Then the XIV Legion would synergise even better as it could dedicate it's flux to being a tanky bitch and use various large slots support missiles to support Onslaughts along with their fighters.

The Luddic questline, and current development philosophy of Starsector in general is "I have a writing uiea. I want to tell a story. Now, how do I shoehorn this into the framework of the game". It's pure trash and the fact that you jumped into this conversation about gameplay thinking purely of the narrative/worldbuilding implications is quite telling. No wonder you defend this kind of 0 gameplay narrative bloat.
>>2380743You are forgetting that the Hegemony is generally held back by the significant infiltration of it's administration and population by Luddic retards. The game implies at many points that the Hegemony is less stable internally than things would seem and while the military is holding things tight, it's unknown how well the state would fare when there is no longer an external enemy to justify the military's stranglehold over the government. The AI wars weren't really such a slam-dunk for the Hegemony as you imply and while they did come out in a batter position than Tri-Tach each time, it was only by a small margin. Tri-Tach had the Hegemony dead to rights in the 2nd war, until it had a leadership swap which is also implied to have been a calculated play by Artemisia to discredit her main political opponents at the cost of losing the war.Annexation of Sindria is also far less straightforward than you assume, the Diktat still has a very large(if poorly maintained) fleet with a large part of the officer corps not intending to ever be a part of the Hegemony. Not to mention NO ONE wants the Hegemony to have a stranglehold on the sector's fuel supply so any move by the still battered and exhausted Hegemony is likely to end in a everyone vs Daud scenario. We know the League is always happy to take on new members, especially those with a competent military, Tri-Tach arleady has some fingers in the pie to and it's likely they would get involved as well.
the entire sector design layer sucks, too involved for being just a setting-up-fights mechanic and too limited to actually contain anything interesting
Link to previous thread, OP?
reggin
>>2380743The Hegemony is actually beyond fucked though. It's not really represented in-game too much but they are practically at the end of their ropes, they don't even have the capability of fighting a war against the player faction for rampant AI usage, with the league even fielding a significantly larger fleet. TT is also in a way better position, the second war which they almost won was intentionally sandbagged for internal stability. Which means any losses from losing that war was deemed as negligable, on top of that TT were the ones who created the Ziggurat and had remnant ships guarding omega weapons in their black site system. So they've got a ton of shit potentially going on behind the scenes. Only TT knows why they are content to just sit there pretending to be weak.
>>2380873>war against the player faction for rampant AI usage, with the league even fielding a significantly larger fleetThe inspections scale ingame. The 3rd and last one generated the most fleet points out of all the other crisis.Not that it really matters, since the jew has written himself into a corner.
>>2380875I've only fought the third inspection fleet a few times because of how long it takes to send so maybe my memory of it is fuzzy but it seemed like it was way smaller than taking the grand armada on head on with all of its allies.
I wonder if the Domain has touched the Carina–Sagittarius Arm if they somewhat colonized the Perseus arm then they could also colonized the Sagittarius arm
>>2380837

>>2380937fuck off nigger
>>2380743You dont know how the human domain is doing beyond the gates and if said gates will open in the future. Either domain forces or rogue AI can come through. Whoever comes though will likely have better technology. This could be a major crisis for future patches/expansions. Also sindria, TT and the league can balance out the hegemony + church block.
Tell me about your favorite flagship.
>>2380743>- tri-tachyon blew their load in the AI warTri-Tach are the only people in the sector capable of exploring without getting raped by the Remnant AI. Thus, if they needed to, they could easily economically overpower the Hegemony. But they don't want to, because the current situation of them fucking around with AI and other ultra-tech in deep space black sites is them winning.

>>2380873The Status Quo is probably more beneficial to Tr-Tach at this time. As long as they maintain a layer of plausible deniability they can essentially do what they want and the Hegemony does not have the resources to control, stop and enforce any bans they have "in place". It is implied most of the AI "inspections" and "control" are closer to propaganda ops for internal consumption rather than actual enforcement. The sector being split into many factions also allows them to ensure they have competitive markets to sell their products to(they are a corporation after all) without anyone being able to effectively compete in the R&D department as there isn't enough funding to go around with all the military buildup and dick-waving eating the budget. Tri-Tach could even strategically sell some technology to specific states to ensure power parity is maintained, which is what they might by trying to do by helping out the Sindrians with tech developments. Of course whether or not this is working is questionable as the Gigacannon is genuine ass. All of the above also neatly absolves Tri-Tach of the expense and hassle of having to govern the sector themselves. >TLDRTri Tach has arleady essentially won everywhere but the battlefield and it doesn't have much to gain by winning there too even though they probably could.

>>2381433nah, hightech wins vs everything
>>2381436Without a good number of anubis it gets raped vs fighter swarms/missile spam and lowtech will shred it with needlers/autocannons/machine guns as long as the line has cohesion.

Ive decided to abandon midline/AI controlled shenanigans and just return to monke and play with lowtech vs remnant. 3 legion XIV with wasps needlers/ACs/light MGs and hammer barrage plus heavy shield/armor tank, 2 moras with warthogs, 5 condors (2 with warthogs and 3 with broadsword+longbow) plus 4 monitors. Not that heavy on upkeep and works great! I thought moras were shit (only used herons before) but the fuckers always stay alive with heavy armor+reinforced bulkheads. Fleet doesnt kill fast as missile spam but has the endurance to fuck several ordos.
>>2381904I groan every time I have to fight a Mora, especially one with an officer because they always, without fail, have Systems Expertise and take 50 years just to punch through their armor.
>>2381905I seriously thought those things were much weaker because of the shit shields. Like it was some oversized vanguard in terms of tank. It has higher endurance than I thought and it can do frontline escort just fine. It just needs that extra hull and armor from the hullmods.
>>2381905>>2381907Every armorfag gangsta until some fucker with a plasma cannon enters the chat
>>2381907>>2381905moras are great with support, they only need something to stop enemy reapers since those still do enough damage to strip armor with the dampener field activethere is nothing you can do against rift weapons corrupting your armor though.
>>2381905Mora is one single case where damper actually works like it should.

>>2381963An atlas full of bulk goods isn't even going to be enough to cover the fuel and supply costs of flying back to sell the stuff and then going back to explore. They're not merely "low value", picking that shit up is straight up waste of credits.
I found the nigger fridge, but it says the nigger defrostifyer can only be built on a colony within 10 AU.Can I somehow move population between planets so I can defrost my niggers on one of shitty planets available nearby and then truck them to a more useful solar system?
>>2382057No
>>2381963Any resource you pick up while salvaging that isn't fuel or supplies is worth nothing. I pick up everything I get of course, but if the bar ever goes red I dump the two largest stacks entirely. If something makes it back, cool, if nothing makes it back, cool.
Would be cool to have ship highjacking as a form of making money. 0 d-mod ship hulls actually sell for a decent price in the base game. Having a means to disable ships mid-battle that is more difficult and dangerous than simply destroying them so you can then salvage them with 0 d-mods post-battle would certainly be a more engaging way of pre-colony moneymaking than the stale drug running.
whenever i get full of loot while exploring i just use console commands to open some coreworlds market and sell it all on the market

It's like a grabbag of things and the devs didn't know how to balance it out.>Space Pirates and ZombiesWould describe this as Starsector lite. Really loved it back in the day, and it has a ton of cool ideas, but it's heavily restrictive and limited in scope. Unless you're modding it to hell and back, the 4 ship limit really is a pain.

>>23815464 OP to outrange:capital 800 range gunscruiser 900 range gunsdestroyer 1000 range gunsi've seen worse deals
Been working on my own faction for a while. I realy don't care much about the lore or anything, infact the backstory is just filler essentially. A bunch of AI cores went rogue, watched too many movies about Skynet and the matrix, and decided to become evil. The real focus was on the gimmick of the mod, which is to have multiple super capitals designed to do one thing REALLY well. Like for example:>one is a constantly rotating saucer that's the ultimate carrier. It has 50 carrier slots and a 90% reduction in OP for fighters assembled by the faction. It also has an infinite amount of deployment time, and cannot suffer from extended deployment penalties. However, the drawback is that it has zero actual defensive measures, only 4-8 small slots for minor protectionIs it a gimmick you'd play my mod for? wanted to make it buckbreaker/rapesector compatible, but how do you "rape" a robot? Idk
>>2381546i think ITU is fine on a support frigate with a long ranged support weapon
>>2382485>in about twenty years most people here won't even know who they were
>>2382499how granular are the concepts? Like is there one super low tech, one super high tech, or is it based on role?
Thoughts on deflector shields?
>>2382499>Is it a gimmick you'd play my mod for?noYou should probably look how the Axial Rotation hullmod from vanilla does it if you want to do that "constantly rotating saucer" thing though, it's what the stations use to spin.I think there was an ancient mod that added flying saucers like that, Tomson Heirloom or something similar.
>>2382499>A bunch of AI cores went roguedropped
>>2382522They're more about roles. It would work in the IBB system where you can hunt down each commanding AI core, with a recoverable super capital. Among them are:>the carrier saucer>a mech that swings a giant hammer around (inspired off that old webm)>a humongous multi-segment ship that's brimming with weapons and can separate/combine at will>one ship that i've been trying to work on for a while, it's essentially a gimmick ship where it permanently stays phased, and you need to capture a command point which is scripted to be a giant interdiction pulse (if you ever played R-Type Command on the PSP, it works similarly to a desynch shot, which drags ships out of phase space)I think I overshot my goals, because so many things don't work. I feel like I'm the only one in the modding community who hates rules.csv
>>2382499Oh wow I'm sure that drawback is going to be of real significance on a ship that will crash your computer long before any enemy fleets will even get the chance to come within visual range of your cheatmod mary sue ship.
>>2382555>mod filters poorfags with insufficient ramBASED
redpill me on Hyperion, is it really worth 15dp?
>>2382559>controlled by playeryes>controlled by AIeh kinda, it still has crazy flux stats and is stupidly agile but it won't hit the risky maneuvers it needs to be giganigga tier
>>2382057https://www.ashesofthedomain.info/module/TheCryosleeper
>>2382559Its energy weapon setup is strong, compared to other ships with a similar offensive layout the hyperions small size/speed and strong shield let it instantly get in close which is the only issue with energy mediums, the teleport can be used to just get behind any agile ship or immediately escape to vent or whatever you need to do. Depending on your fleet comp you are just dropping 3 frigates for it. Under your control the hyperion is a very high impact ship.The real issue with it is it having the lowest peak time of any frigate and using up a ton of cr per deployment. Depending on what you are fighting it can simply just not have enough time to do what you could with a destroyer or cruiser or you occasionally need to fight multiple times and it isn't going to be much use.
>>2382559Yes. Hyperion's one of them "broken overpowered" ships even in AI hands although it needs specific officer & player skills to make it work well.It can't handle long fights though even with CRmaxxing.
>>2382559Its one of the most annoying ships to fight against but its still kinda DP inneficient. Can do funny things to lowtech and slow ships in general though and if the enemy lacks projection (fighters/missiles) its worse.
I am desperately struggling and failing to make diable avionics ships with accompanying weapons and fighters competitive with even vanilla human ships.If they're not facing something politely sitting around while it gets ganked by an entire fleet's deathball of wanzers the DA ships seem to just get rushed down and die.

>>2382499>A bunch of AI cores went rogueIncredibly cliche and overdone, though if you don't care about the lore of your faction, then anything really works.>50 carrier slotsThere is no way that wouldn't be grossly overpowered. Like, fill every slot with Sarissas and you've got a top sustained kinetic dps of ~15k, enough to shut down anything that comes within engagement range within a second or two.
>>2382711Maybe I should lower it to ten. The point is for it to be the most powerful carrier in both vanilla and modded starsector, but it has zero defenses otherwise. Been thinking of having a hullmod toggle that lets you change 10 fighter bays for a single one, but it clones it ten times over, like a souped up wanzer servicing gantry.But the balance would be a complete mess.
>>2382567Oh, I see, someone made a mod to fix it.
>>2382714Just overhaul the entire game and make everything carriers.
>>2382721Make frigates too small to have their own FTL and each frig has to find a host to attach itself to for travel, but they have better stats because no room is wasted on the FTL drive.
>>2382714Make it 6-8 at the most and give it reserve deployment.
>>2382735i forgot about reserve deployment.
>>2382742But 50 bays? Fucking hell, batshit insane power aside you'd fry the PCs of half the poor fucks that played with that thing.
>>2382753Maybe 50 was too much. I just wanted to make an insanely good carrier, since Alex keeps nerfing them into the ground for no discernible reason. The patch notes for the next version aren't exactly promising.>fixed a bug where carriers were helpful in a fight
>>2382754If that doesn't work out for you here's a different idea - since gravitons are weak make a ship with 300 integrated forward facing ones :)
>>2382753You'd fry the PC of everyone playing because the game itself cannot handle more than 8GB of ram anyway.

>>2382808The title is because he's black.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeYsTmIzjkw
>>2382822he's white though
>>2382714If you want to make a supercarrier that can out carrier every mods carriers, 10 is way too little for a ship with an actual drawback. There are mod carriers like the Zepporia from UAF that have stats so high I used it as a battleship that has 5 slots, there's also the slightly weaker Neuxoria with 6. For pure carriers, San Batavia has a good one with 6, and Royal Azalea has one with 8 slots. For something that's supposed to be the ultimate carrier but will explode instantly if you sneeze on it, I'd say maybe 20 slots? It'd be a nightmare to fight but it wouldn't be impossibly strong. Just don't go psycho and let fleets have multiple of them.
>>2382735>Make it 6-8 at the most and give it reserve deployment.Already exists.>>2382860>Shilling UAFIgnore this poster.
>>2382871How is saying a ship that's supposed to be a carrier has stats so high I used it as a battleship shilling?That's not a good thing. That's a complete goal failure. That's like making a dedicated beam ship but people put mjolnirs on it instead, or a low-tech behemoth that you slap a makeshift shield generator on.
>>2382860UAF has its pure dedicated carrier. The mooparia has 8 wings and no weapon mounts besides the 5 medium and 3 light point defenses scattered across its entire supercapital hull. Zepporia is not supposed to be a pure carrier and if you try to build it to full carrier capabilities you will have absolutely no OP to mount even a single weapon on it, let alone vents to support said weapons.
>>2382874>moopariaHuh, I have never seen this ship ever.I guess that's not too surprising since I just recently learned the reisen/fusoreina are in fact not the strongest battleships they have. That's what happens when you have a commission faction you never commission with I guess.It's a battlecarrier instead of a pure carrier which is why I seperated it and the neuxoria from the sbr and ryaz ones but as I said when I used it I just entirely ignored the carrier part of battlecarrier.
>>2382881>That's what happens when you have a commission faction you never commission with I guessYou don't need a comission from them to get their ships. You can get almost all of their ships besides the unique one variants from the microtransactions store on favonius. Just trade in survey data for MTX points.But yeah, the way UAF/diktat gas station manager/iron shell etc. lock literally all of their content behind comission is pure cancer, the UAF store is a silver lining for this.
>>2382886>But yeah, the way UAF/diktat gas station manager/iron shell etc. lock literally all of their content behind comission is pure cancer, the UAF store is a silver lining for this.UAF being a shitberg with a silver lining doesn't make them any less retarded. They're still locking content behind goodboy points.90% of mod out there don't pull shit like this.
>>2382910>reee I'm pissed off so many people like UAF because I don't so I want to throw a tantrum!Are you here to talk about ships or not? Nobody gives a shit about your autism, dude. Locking ships and missions behind comissions is the standard with literally just about any big faction mod. idk wtf your standard behind 90% is. Even fucking ko combine won't let you buy shit without it.
>>2382916Do you get goodboy points on the discord for shilling this hard?
>>2382910>>2382916Aren't you guys fundamentally agreeing on what's important (that commission-based content locking is bad practice, regardless of how "common" it is)?
>>2382923https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-uziOpnhI4
>Down the rabbit hole sponsorship???
>Rape sponsorship???
>>2382933I actually don't care about ships being locked behind it all that much much. Factions having their own unique fleets to project power that are exclusive to them makes sense from both a worldbuilding and gameplay point of view, and there are always black markets or salvaging them from fighting. Not to mention vanilla factions do the same too. Locking missions behind commissions, on the other hand, is the shitty trend that grinds my gears.
>>2382951Ah, gotcha. Fair!
>>2382953>Locking missions behind commissions, on the other hand, is the shitty trend that grinds my gears.Doubly so when those missions include gameplay content i.e. ships and weapons

Why do hammers always end up being better than reapers? On paper they seem worse but in practice hammers are always better.
>>2383244Flight speed. It makes them more accurate and you need a higher DPS to defeat them with PD.
>>2383177Isn't it better to have more anyway? How much does the bonus get but per hanger over 8?
>>2383253It comes with 8, the extra 7 are from mods.No idea how they interact with the skill bonuses though.
>>23832444000(8000) vs 1500(6000) is a pretty compelling argument for the reaper + more ammo on the redboy.

It took me a while to realize they finally updated this game. Was the update good?
>>2383329Any black market will suffice, actually.
>>2382951>Locking missions behind commissionsGod, I missed out on Princess of Persea for a long time specifically because it requires a Hegemony commission AND for you to meet Daud as part of the main quest.I question how many people who just casually play this game even know that it exists.
Which faction do I go to if I need to buy some dakka? Hegemony?
>>2383369The only reason I knew it existed is because the mod quality captains gives a unique minor skill for certain milestones and one is to win the duel.I bothered to do it a whole one time. Don't even remember what minor skill you get from it.
>>2383369I like taking a Hegemony commission and setting up a single colony on Zorrah, it comes with city lights.

>>2383390the new Moci mod got an official translation. It doesn't work with Ashes of the Domain, but since most people here hate that mod, it shouldn't be a problem.
>>2383403i see. Anymore new ones or recommended? Im looking at the modding index on the forums right now.

>>2383408>>2383410It doesn't look like any new mod factions came out in the modding subforum in the last few months. Looks like faction mods are dead?
>>2383414eh, guess people ran out of ideas. You can only reskin Hegemony onslaughts so many times.
This is fucking obscene.
Anyone here know how to paint?I need your help to make that red one look more like the rest of the ships in this imageits for ARC
>>2383437Just desaturate red you lazy fuck
>>2383440Notried that alreadyit just looks gray
>>2383441Skill issue
>>2383407That's just accurately modeling the future progression of the human genome, because we keep refusing to exterminate the brown branches.
>>2383437Image -> Adjustments -> Hue/SaturationDrag Hue until it matches the blue colour then tweak Saturation if needed. Brightness/Contrast if you need further tweaks. You can also try ticking Use Legacy, sometimes it works better.

>>2383407>What happened?David
>>2383437Get broke!>>2383463Also what this guy said..
>>2383534That ship was literally made by the guy that made all the ARC sprites before it got taken by buckbreaker
looks like sloppa
>>2383542You say that like it should come as some sort of surprise.
>>2383554Hows the new buckbreaker guns anyway?
>>2383437
>>2383597Why'd you AI them into yuri expedition ships?Not to mention fuck up the image resolution so its not even useable as ingame sprites anymore
>>2383598>>you need AI to palette swap>not even useable as ingame sprites anymoremust have slipped my mind :)
>>2383604I only needed an edit for the furthest left one since its the only one that wasn't in the ARC mod for 96 for some reasonI want to add it back in somehow
>>2383607sounds like a you problem
>>2383569>Hows the new buckbreaker guns anyway?I let someone else maintain the Breakers, looks to have been a bad idea in hindsight given they went a little, excessive, with their additions. All I do now is maintain the the core hull-mod and keep it compatible with the latest SS version. Might add the breaker gun he's teased and apply the same shenanigans, let the damage stack.>Daemon Slayer H.Mod - x5 damage vs. noahs>Daemon Slayer Wpn - x5 damage vs. noahsThat's like 25x damage vs. noahs!
>>2383622>I let someone else maintain the Breakers,Buckbreaker was never yours to begin withit was made by that tahlan faggot Noah
>>2383627content posted to internet has no ownerthat's something all these modfags never seem to grok, same type of retards who once watermarked their memes.

>>2383676Buckbreaker update released in corvus
>>2383622>That's like 25x damage vs. noahs!Noah has a habit of puting up a lot of prefixes and suffixes on his ships alreadyit actually ends up making his shitty donut steel OC faction double or even triple dip on the daemonslayer tags causing a mining laser to do like 12-15x damage and dealing a limbillion damage to emthe new weapons are just vanilla weapons with some omega and abyss effects slapped onto emthe cake is in the spritesI fucking stole em from Nia's abandoned mod
>>2383414hard to give a shit about working on a mod when the game is in dev hell
>>2383673please tell me there is at least a bootleg version made in some forgotten discord
>>2383712NoNot even Mael's mega modpack has it
>>2383712i forced updated it with trios and it works for me
>>2383627>Buckbreaker was never yours to begin withTrue, I only take 'ownership' as far as making it in to a functioning mod, a notable amount of the initial content was created by others. Which is also why I have no problem with the dude someone else taking on the mantle.>it was made by that tahlan faggot NoahI'm thankful for his contribution. Even if he has, to our amusement, disavowed himself of it.
>>2383715yeah but it makes your dick fall off
>that feel when you post something so awful it aggros the entire thread
>>2383622what the fuck some of mods are these listed here?
>discord tranny fishing for approval in his tranny fight against another discord tranny againCan't believe we managed to go a couple of threads without this faggotry.
>>2383846I never understood the point of this shit.Why make a mod that cheats against other mods? Just don't use the mods instead?
>>2383846As I said, he went excessive: Here's a more reasonable roll back. @Override public String modifyDamageDealt(Object param, CombatEntityAPI target, DamageAPI damage, Vector2f point, boolean shieldHit) { if (!(target instanceof ShipAPI)) { return null; } ShipAPI enemy = (ShipAPI) target; if (enemy.getVariant().hasHullMod("tahlan_daemon") || enemy.getHullSpec().getHullId().contains("eis_")) { damage.setDamage(damage.getDamage()*6f); return null; } if (enemy.getHullSpec().getHullId().contains("tahlan_") || enemy.getHullSpec().getHullId().contains("uaf_") || enemy.getHullSpec().getHullId().contains("vulp_") || enemy.getHullSpec().getHullId().contains("lp_ied") || enemy.getHullSpec().getHullId().contains("atlas")) { damage.setDamage(damage.getDamage()*2f); return null; } return null;
>>2383868>I never understood the point of this shit.it's obsessive behaviour against lolcows, combined with the joy of creative expressionit is discord schizo faggotry that thinks itself cool because it postures against other discord schizo faggotry.inb4 "tranny"
>>2383868>I never understood the point of this shit.>Why make a mod that cheats against other mods? Just don't use the mods instead?A quick rundown:Noah doesn't like that his snowflake faction can be defeated.Over the years he's added various methods to make them harder to defeat such as making invasion auto-fail and such. He also added shit to make the neuter his ships if they're in the players fleet.People could still defeat his fleets so he added a hidden damage modifier to his snowflake ships targeting mods he perceived as 'too strong' and against modders he had personal beef with.He got called out on this and tried to give a bunch of 'legitimate' reasons which were inconsistent with each other (some of which are shown in the above code). None of the reasons held up to scutiny, he cried 'my mental health', Alex culled the forums shut further discussions down.We took his code and made it target noahs ships and released it to the masses.Noah has a serious meltdown over this on the discord. Lols were had.Noah continues to have freakouts when ever BB is mentioned. So we keep it going.Should be noted he is prone to throwing tantrums both here and on the discord.He's also tried asking how to obscure code so nobody can see its functions but nobody wants to help him after the stealth-nerfs incident.
>>2383868>>2383874yeah but the question is why the current maintainer decided to do tranny behavior and add more shit that wasn't part of the original intent.>>2383885At this point the current maintainer is going to become the new lowcol is this shit continues
>>2383676some guy who made a mod I used outed himself as a furry trannyi deleted his mod, naturally

>>2384121No. Also, she looks submissive and breedable.
>>2383938>>2384007Eusan is the signalis mod. kinda fuckin dogshit ships though desu you really don't need a damage boost against them I've never actually used any of them any time I find one of their ships I take a look at it and say why would I ever use this.
>>2382714I'd say if you're going full carrier, then 1 bay for every 5-6 dp.Though I wonder if doing something akin to stations might work, where you have the main ship with idk 6 bays and like 3 separate modules that host 2 fighter bays each.So the modules can get destroyed, which weakens the ship over time.
>>2383662Works fine on my end. Haven't tested it with Ashes of the Domain, but other than that it just works.
>>2382940Why the FUCK did he put a Guardian on the Apogee
>>2383437If you use GIMP, just go to Colors > Curves... and fiddle around 'til you get what you want.
>>2382940>fagrik cucksenew
>>2384007I understand hating on Legio, since they are OP fags that do nothing but shit up balance, but doing this 'le ebin demon huntard' stuff on other mod factions is ridiculous.CFT, JYK and TTSC are fucking great (even though the last one is a bit overtuned imo), LOST_SECTOR is fine, I guess, and Iron Shell and Eusan are fun to bully around. DMN is most likely Dassault-Mikoyan Engineering. Quite fun to play against, but still.Also, no SotF, with their whiny AIs? No Valkyrians or Emergent Threats, with IX Battlegroup being essentially Legio but better implemented and actually fun to fight against?Kinda bitchy behavior, not gonna lie
>>2384193What's wrong with valkyrians?But yeah buckbreakers is just as cringe as legion. In the end both mod authors seething over mods they don't like and essentially making tantrum code while forcing their faggotry on people not interested in their bullshit. I guess being mentally I'll just comes part and parcel with making mods.
die you edgy cunt fuck you
>>2384209>mechKINO
>>2384200>I guess being mentally I'll just comes part and parcel with making mods.You take a look at rules.csv and try to make any sense of it without contracting some kind of mental illness. I'd love to mod for this game but I love myself too much to suffer through that.
>>2384219It's too bad half of DA mechs are comically overpriced for what they do and there's really only two worth using that overshadow every other one to a ridiculous degree, and that's only if the ship you're putting them in is equipped with an inherent hull mod that makes them viable at all in the first place, which isn't even all DA carrier ships.
>>2384230same with ArmaA when you compare them with vanilla fighters, kinda. Though they at least have a few mech frigates/destroyers that are definitely worth using.
>>2384220nta but I just love how melodramatic you zoomtards get even on opening a fucking not-excel document. Fucking hell lol.
>>2384230>and that's only if the ship you're putting them in is equipped with an inherent hull modI hate this shit so much it's unreal. May as well make all weapons on your ship built in. Valkyrians doing this retarded "hurr all of our shit weapons gain a massive boost and OP discount if mounted on valkyrian hulls so you're pidgeonholed into building all valkyrian ships with the same weapons and never using these weapons on anything else" shit too.
>>2384243So, why are you using it?

are there even any new mods being made? the mod index and the forum fucking sucks to see whats new.
>>2384276iirc yes but they're all locked inside discord for some dumb reason
>>2384278Is it just the one "unofficial" discord?Might bite the bullet and join so I can reupload everything on some repository if that's the case.
Figured I'd add a shitty bomber and give it to Eridani. At least it's cheap.Any of you want to name this thing since I haven't given it any thought?

>>2384193>>2384007>>2384139wtf is the eusan mod? how come i never heard of it did it recently come out?
>>2384334shouldn't have civgrade, same prod quality as the perdition that doesn't have it
>>2384349Its on the forums, in the still unreleased section.It is pretty fun to fight against, the art is quite nice, even though I don't like crossover factions like that one or UAF. Still, it kinda fits and it is one more faction to shit up politics.
>>2384349faction from Signalis, kind of similar to UAF but with less waifufaggotry.
>>2384379>>2384395Wait what, what is the UAF based on?
>>2384398UAF isn't based on anything, it's the dev's OCEusan = Signalis crossoverUAF = OCboth are mods that heavily utilize an anime artstyle, have a bit of unique content (quests/commodities), are not lore friendly and struggle slightly with balance (i.e kinda weak), so they're a bit similar imo
Alex add more sex with anime girls please
>>2384403I misundertood because of>I don't like crossover factions like [...] UAF.
I want to use the derelict guardian in my fleet as an automated ship. I'm thinking of upping the deployment point cost to 65 to make it more balanced. What do you guys think?
>>2384431Do you think it's better than a radiant?
>>2384431in the ballpark>>2384438in the ballpark
>>2384438It does have an advanced targeting core built-in, +100 OP than the radiant and tons of hybrid mounts to put ballistic weapons in them. And yes, ballistic weapons are better than energy weapons because the only way to win in this game is to win the flux war. Let's not even get into the missile autoforge. The only downside of the guardian is the low shield efficiency. I was thinking of upping the DP to 70 since it is a very rare boss ship, like the other cheat-ship
>>2384334>Not a bomber that pushes astroidsMy penis shrivels into raisins.
>>2384431Wiki states this cannot be obtained in vanilla with default file settings though. Thats Alex way of saying its OP (DP wise). Radiant is 60 DP which even with gamma core starts sinking the AI CR penalty significantly.
>>2384460Yea I know (You) cannot get it thru normal means but if my commander found a way to make the other 70DP cheatship work so will this one. >Thats Alex way of saying its OP (DP wise)I know its overpowered fumbduck, that's why I want to modify its DP in the game files to put it in line with other exotic capitals. It has a baseline 40 DP which I will make into 60-70 DP.I just wannna give it a beta core and let it do its thing, also Im running derelict operations
>>2384423done but it's some Gargoyle-like character, Jethro or Arroyo.Unrelated but I just noticed Jethro's "surname" (Bornanew = Born anew) is a reference to him turning a new leaf after turning l*ddic
>>2383888>>2383885>>2383846For me, it was President Matt Damon. >takes over a bunch of defunct mods, like Take no Prisoners and diable Avionics>purposely adds crash code if you have no no mods installed>gloats about it on the forums>expects a ton of praise>his ass gets permanently banned>Alex himself steps in and officially makes a rule forbidding crash code of any kind>trash mods like Apex and other mods get taken down from the forums because the mod devs are children who don't want to fix their modsAnd I trusted that asshole too. I was literally defending him being a lolcow because "at least he keeps diable updated". and then he stabs me in the back.
Part-time lurker, full time retard. Is there a QRD on Nia Tahl other than being your stereotypical mentally-ill fragile-ego modder? What I gather is that the forums glaze Tahlan Shipworks for being the "bestest thing evar!" but people with braincells see it's full of powercreep that fucks balance of vanilla and modded. Also code that nerfs other mods because "stop liking what I don't like"?
>>2384514bog standard narcissist tranny with too much time on his hands, not much more to say
>>2384514a lot of the bad things have to do with the Legio Infernalis, his optional OC factionthe rest of the mod is fine, but he had code that unironically forbid you from adding a built-in hullmod from his mod to other ships whose ID didn't start with "thalan_" without tanking their CR/PPT for some reason, don't know if it's still there
>>2384424sorry, should've been more thorough. I mean nations that kinda don't fit the style of Starsector imo. UAF is a bit icky in that regard, as is Eusan, Valkyries, Sephira Conclave... well, there is a lot. Even then, I like them and often use in my modlists - back in the day I've played with touhou mod, with some fucking OP and nice looking ships.
i love sephira conclave aesthetic
>>2384514>Is there a QRD on Nia TahlYou pretty much nailed it.>stereotypical mentally-ill fragile-ego modder>code that nerfs other mods because "stop liking what I don't like"?The only bit I would change is this.>Discorders glaze Tahlan Shipworks for being the "bestest thing evar!" but people with braincells see it's full of powercreep that fucks balance of vanilla and moddedThe USC is considered the mod mafia for a reason, they make protracted efforts to undermine modders that don't bend to their whim and shill modders on their side. There have been incidents where they have literally told members to go on the forums and say X mod sucks and to post praise for Y.One of the best examples is when someone wrote some code for fighters that they wanted to copy, but he refused to share his source code (knowing that it would be copied without his permission). So tomato paste and a bunch of disorders fabricated evidence to try and force him to share his source code and one of the discord mods -who is also a forum mod- threatened to take his mod of the forums and ban him if he didn't share it. Fortunately he was smart mother and spoke to Alex directly Alex who confirmed their whole grift was BS.
>>2384567it makes me think of homeworld
>>2384567clashes too much with vanilla for my taste, I'm generally not a fan of sprites that look too out of place
>>2384403>kinda weakUAF flip flops. Their ships are sub vanilla to significantly better than vanilla and their guns used to be high end vanilla, now they're about average or slightly below average.Eusean ships look around pirate/pather level from a glance. I haven't acquired enough of their guns to look at them in depth but they look alright.>>2384443Kinetic vs energy isn't as simple as 200 vs 100, the radiant wins most flux wars due to its absurd stats and skimmer essentially giving it a free (dis)engage. It would win even harder if it had access to kinetic damage type but that's part of how balance works. Because of these absurd stats the radiant bodies the guardian 1v1.
>>2384607>Kinetic vs energy isn't as simple as 200 vs 100, the radiant wins most flux wars due to its absurd stats and skimmer essentially giving it a free (dis)engageHey genius guess what system does the Guardian have. Also the Guardian has really respectable flux stats, only 500 less than the radiant... Really the issue with the guardian is the shield efficiency
>>2384607do the eusan ships and weapons look ok at least?

How do you fight Threat?Trying to outmanouver them sees kindof silly, so you have to load up on high DPS anti armor and shove them into a corner, right?Eradicators with 1 hypervelocity and 2 heavy maulers?And Onslaught mk1 in charge of blowing up the actual fabricators?
>>2385021Make a line to hold them and then you fly/control an onslaught yourself with some escort to go around and get the fabricators. The MKI can do that just by getting orders due to high aggressiveness. The others should be controlled by you. Its the standard counter. Best fleets are usually lowtech with PD and a decent HE ammount of DPS while avoiding overreliance on fighters/missiles..
>>2385059>Best fleets are usually lowtech with PD and a decent HE ammount of DPS while avoiding overreliance on fighters/missiles..So how do you go about doing this? I normally use Eradicators, but they cost a surprisingly large amount of DP. I tried Enforcers and they didn't do well.Manticores with escort package and Atlas 2 with Haephestus to active them?Or just line up all the Dominators I can fit?

>>2385104Believe it or not, an Invictus with 10 devastators is a highly effectively fleet anchor by virtue of quickly eliminating swarms. Missiles and fighters are useless so the OP can be used elsewhere. It won't push front-line but it works greats as a rally point and for covering the rear of front-liners where swarms like to linger.I still think it's bull how Alex wrote specific AI for swarm/dorito fighters but he refuses to re-work the AI for normal fighters.
