Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
There's actually a workaround for that: carry only enough crew to man your main combat ships and leave the rest unmanned. Unmanned ships never deploy. You also get the side benefit of using up less supply. I tend to keep my manning at or just above skeleton/minimum crew requirements. If I carry excess, it only just enough to help cover any losses I may take in a fight, but not enough to crew most ships if I capture any.
Looking forward into the future though, a "Keep Unmanned" option might be useful. (Same effect.)
Just to report: the editor seems to automatically close whenever it tries to open a ship with a CUSTOM engine style.
Error: an object is desired, but something else was found: 0x00000000
Why not just have a small ship with a flight deck, but few enough hangar slots that you can't actually dock the nastier fighter wings to it? That would fit within the existing UI and wouldn't overbalance things too much--no idea if the game AI can handle the idea of a carrier you can only use for Talons and maybe Piranhas, though!
Um... I'm being a bit stupid here, but what's this?
Also the new ship system that strips all the weapons off is pretty painful, do not want. Limited and stripped of all weapons but retain most of their cost? I didn't know the docks could be more worthless.Well, to be fair, the weapons are usually fairly cheap compared to the ship. So it's okay in that respect.
Though that causes a new problem: Early on in the game, weapons you can buy are few and far between.
Because we all know that what the game needed more was an even slower start...
Just bleh, I need a save editor so I can skip all this nonsense.
according to my brother, the mod works with .51a still? Can anybody else confirm that 2.04 works with .51a?
Feel free to proclaim that you're dumb all you want, Trylobot, but please don't presume to talk such rubbish on my behalf. I am not a child, I do not need training wheels on my bicycle, I do not need my car to beep at me when the lights are on and the engine isn't running, and I don't need a prompt that requires me to type "delete" to delete a save. Much like the beeping, I actually find it mildly insulting.
How did you get it that perfect? Mine always fits everything in one square.....
The best solution? Just make the stack size mod-able..
Y-wing is a bomber, it shouldn't be in the intercept list. Only A-wing, X-wing, and headhunter should. Maybe it's set as assault? I need to make sure the B-wing does not try to intercept either. Now that you mention it I'm not sure I've ever seen a Y-wing drop bombs, the tie bombers do without problem though. They both have basically the same weapons. Except the Y-wing has an ion cannon turret in addition to bombs, protons, and lasers, the tie bomber has concussion and bombs and lasers.
