Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
Next time save a screenshoot
it is the devastator
Very cool
alex told you it's cool... soo... alex's opion=ingame content??
if yes mind = blown.
I'm curious to see if the breakaway panels render on top of any turrets placed beneath them, or vice versa. Haven't tested that yet. Be cool to have a secret battleship/missile cruiser, if only for fun.

Yeah I hear you. I just threw mine in anyway, though. I will continue to refine it until I get it down. Or I won't. Either way it is fun to try (despite the failings, kind of like starfarer, haha).How do you know that It's just you and your brother?
EDIT: helps that no one but me and my brother play my mod, haha.
Anyways, on the topic, these are some great frankensprites, fits nicley into the game. Congrats.
Posted this in 51ppycup's tutorial thread and realized it's probably smarter to put it here.
I made the .ship files and the ship_data.csv files for the Panther, 2 types, 1 Energy based and 1 Ballistic based.
Took quite some time to get the bounds right.. since I'm a bit of the perfectionist I did it by hand in the .ship file.. just using the ship editor to get the approximate coordinates, but I can happily say, both sides of the ship are identical as far as bounds go.
The turrets on the other hand, don't seem to be quite mirrored, they are off by 1 pixel sideways. but I matched them to the .png so I blame 51ppycup

And
http://www.mediafire.com/?8zgd239c78m3n7p seperate mods
Also note, this does nothing to add them into the campaign as I do not know how to do that other than hacking a save file. (which is shown in the tutorial video)
Now somebody just needs to show me how to mod these into the campaign so the factions start using them.
Word of Warning, Since I made these I've started getting random crashes with the error Fatal: null. and I can't seem to figure out why. sometimes it crashes while loading, sometimes just after loading, sometimes it doesn't crash at all..
I comment on your videos pretty frequently, so I figured I might drop by and leave a 'good work'.
Good work.
I like what you've done, I like midline ships a lot as well. Good luck on your hand drawn one-- I tried putting together a hull myself, and I scrapped every attempt because I can't get the.... what's the word-- texture of starfarer's ships right. It bothers me when hand drawn ships stick out from the rest of the ships in the game-- modded ships that aren't a part of a total conversion ought to look like they fit, lore-wise, visually, and with loadout.
On that note, ive been meaning to rewrite the entire weapons system with a series of Missile based weapons... But I am sadly too lazy (and or busy with other stuff, like my classes. Yeah, lets blame those) to properly resolve the issues and redo every single mount on every single ship.
The basic premise is that kinetic and energy weapons become purely point defense and/or knifefight weapons, and battles will tend to be resolved at high range by standoff weapons - That is to say, shooting LRMs at each other (Not like the LRMs we have today, no, more like the torpedos we have today. Theoretically inf range, with basically no tracking. I wonder if the way sabots are fired now can work for this..). And, because I can, Point defense missiles. I think those are cool. I kinda wish the base game had more small missile /turret/ mounts, so I could throw a basic workup in the base game.
Just wanted to mention that some capital ships being a bit underwhelming is something I'm aware of, and working to address - but with gradual, slower changes instead of something drastic.
One thing to keep in mind is the change to the Integrated Targeting Unit hullmod - it gives a 50% range bonus when installed on capital ships, and is a large part of the balance. A capital ship without support really needs it.
I don't find the Odyssey lacking, though. Putting Autopulse Lasers on it is probably not the best idea - try Plasma Cannons or Tachyon Lances instead. Sure, the flux usage is higher, but it can dissipate while the shields are up, so it's manageable.
I think the Paragon is right where it needs to be. It's got a scary amount of firepower, and is very difficult to take down, provided that flux is managed properly.
Noticing something very strange when i try to separate this stuff in excel..
when i save it seperated i just get an error: Fatal: JSONObject["id"] not found.
so I guess it can't find the values if i save it separated..
How did you manage it 51ppycup?
was just wondering if you had any thoughts?
(I find the trick is careful hue shift, plus careful layer deleting)
I'd love to see these ingame.
Any plans for a mod to add them?
I would do it myself but I don't have a clue what to do, where to do it, and who to blame when it goes wrong
Also, I just watched your Starfarer Alpha 0.51a Update Highlights, Part 1 video and noticed you missed a couple new features..
You can click on a fleet, station or planet on the map and you will fly there. good if you wanna go to the TT station for instance.
Holding Shift speeds up the game, although not in battle.
When your in the store, you can hold your mouse over the small ship icon in the lower right corner of the window and see what fittings it has, don't need to take a screenshot or count for that matter.. just mix and match the slots and the stores inventory
When selling you can just hold Control and click stuff in your inventory and it will automatically sell the whole pile, same goes for buying, no need to click drag and click
