Dunno if these threads can be combined? Maybe sticky it?

Is that intended behavior? I don't recall this in 0.8 when I'd bandbox all the ships...

Will we be able to take extra ships/parts and add them to our patrol fleets? Or is more of a standard Outpost size 3 creates x amount of this standard fleet?
Same question for making a defense station of some sort and participating in defensive battles.

Details are a bit sparse at the moment - it'll have to be tied in with just how "ship production" and "blueprints" works - but I'll say that I'm *not* keen on having the player configure the composition of patrols or hand-designing station loadouts. It's just too much; a lot of what outposts are about is expanding your overall power at the cost of giving up direct control.

You mention supplying our outposts on the edge of a sector, but that requiring waystations or some other mechanism in order to grow; is this something the player can do on their own as a substitute?

I'm not sure I fully understand the question, but the player will be able to build waystations, yes.

All leading into hopefully building your own faction/nation and diplomacy, perhaps assigning officers or something similar for planetary governor roles down the line?

A lot of things are pointing in that direction, aren't they? There's even a portrait that says "Administrator" in the outpost screen.

Thank you for the answers. As for the first, I understand. Maybe not to the point of personally designing every loadout, but more of "Standard Patrol Fleet A has two cruisers, 4 destroyers, 8 frigates, etc." and "Planetary Defense Fleet has Two capital ships, and assorted escort" is what I would envision for some player control but not too much micromanagement.

For my second question, I'm asking whether it would be possible for the player to build up and supply a fleet entirely on their own via personal convoy or would it absolutely require a waystation chain? Example: I find two Earth like planets relatively close to each other on the edge of the sector. I establish a couple outposts/colonies. Will they survive long enough for me to go back to the main space and return and supply on my own, or do I have to build that chain of waystations to have any chance?

Third, I saw administrator but didn't want to jump the gun since this is such an early look.

Suggestions / Re: Boarding idea: Enemy ship select

« on: September 10, 2016, 02:03:50 PM »

I think another way to entice you to work your way up in reputation instead of save scumming is to make ships you board cost a lot more to repair. Maybe you only get a damaged version if you do it yourself and it takes a combination of high industry skill and own outpost to fully restore or a fee from the associated faction's engineer corps.

Theoretically, cost of marines (and supplies if you cannot loot enough and need to buy them at high prices) should pay for your ship.  Currently, they do not thanks to the guaranteed thirty marines at Black Markets per month, and there are four or so markets where player can get them for 233 credits per marine.  If I did not have ships to board, I would sell them elsewhere where they cost about 1000 credits.  As is, I board everything useful (rare or common) at endgame, when nearly all of my enemies are Hegemony or other major faction.

If repairing ships mostly gave damaged ships that cannot be repaired, like the pirates' clunker (D)s, then boarding will become useless.  I do not board at all in the early-game, when my enemies are pirates and pathers, because nearly all of their ships are junk.  Boarding is useful to get standard or enhanced ships.

Ultimately, I like to establish my own player-designated faction, like in the Nexerelin mod or as seen in the SPAZ 2 demo video, and provide my own services to feed my war machine.  Hoping Starsector eventually supports this in a normal game.

It wouldn't be useless, it would simply cost more and add a tie in to the factions or having your own outposts/repair facilities to fully restore. Maybe it would be a hassle in terms of the number tuning, but perhaps that extra dial would help with that.
