Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
Sorry I omitted the important details. I got rid of some of those crewmen and had something like 6 regular and 4 veteran for my entire fleet (1 ship). But in campaign in my fleet screen when I click on that hound it always just says 10 regular which is baffling. even if those numbers "only count" in combat, why is it displaying any of those 10/10 and 10 regular numbers in campaign at all, if it isn't going to reflect what crew are actually available? The way that the '?' button has info about the ship's current mounts and hullmods makes it seem like it is the stats for that particular ship. Yet the crew information is just a generic.
Again, in combat it displays the real crew. But in campaign it defaults back to always saying 10/10 and 10 regular (or whatever is default for the ship)
now unable to reproduce it-- if it was ever more than the figment of a disturbed mind. SorryI think I know how the confusion comes about:
It could be a visual error in my end then. Can you give me a screenshot?Regular deeps are kinda dim, pre- and post-storm they brighten up, actual storms have blue-green flashing going on. See attachment.
Any skill has to be good enough to at least make me consider it before I max usual combat and tech stuff. And the above are not. (Leadership in it's current form isn't either, it was worth investing a few points mid-early when it controlled logistics cap)The exact numbers are up for debate and balancing purposes, but I'm not sure that counts as "Leadership is weak" so much as "Combat/Tech is too strong".
Strategic stat boost weapons are a bad idea imho - they will be no-brainer on non-combat ships, which you never actually deploy.Until you fight one too many battles, are forced to fight a retreating action, and then are forced to deploy all those "non-combat" ships which now have a hole in their already-minimalist defensive weaponry.
According to codex, Heavy Machine Gun has double 'ram prevention'. Is it by any chance 'jam prevention'? Or does 'ram' has another meaning I do not know?It's "double ram" prevention. The idea being you prevent two cartridges from being rammed into one barrel, which would result in Bad Things happening.
I'm pretty sure the lowercase dual means "pair of" instead of a singular Dual Light MG.I know that. I want it formalized.
Using cargo spaces for passengers is likewise rather dependent upon how the space is configured. The Atlas, for example, appears to be a massive container ship. If an Atlas always carries a full load of containers even if not all of them are full, then it may well be fairly easily usable as a passenger liner as long as the containers can be provided with a habitable environment, but if it does not, you're looking at a ship that doesn't have enclosed, protected spaces available for conversion - the 'cargo hold' is essentially just an open frame to which the cargo containers can be attached for the journey. A Buffalo, on the other hand, appears to be either a bulk carrier or a general cargo vessel with an enclosed hold; as long as the hold can be sealed enough to be habitable, it should be relatively easy to convert the cargo space for use as (fairly basic) passenger accommodations.The impression I get from the Atlas and the Buffalo is that they're both of the same general design - a "spine" with a bridge at one end and an engine at the other, with cargo containers attached to the sides. I get the feeling that they're intended to use the same containers, too.
