Suggestions / Solar "heat" damage
« on: January 25, 2013, 10:20:23 PM »
I It would be kind of cool to start to take damage if you enter the stars "heat radius ". Currently it doesn't really make much sence that you can fly through the star and addit a damaging effect would be kinda cool. It could also effect in battle to. Slow drain of armor during the battle.

II Personally I think adding an field of view slider would be a great idea because:
1) It would provide some nice aesthetics to the options menu.
2) It would put all other games to shame for not having one.
3) it will create tons of speculation and as such provide a way to keep people playing for longer periods of time

P.s. suggestion II wasn't to be taken seriously. :P

This used to be one of my favorite games f all time. ( I had xbox360 version) played the hell out of it, and was really sad when the multi player servers shut down. So my question is have you ever played it? Or even heard of it? Because If I am honest I can't stern to find mech games like it anymore.

General Discussion / Things you didn't expect from starsector
« on: November 25, 2012, 04:15:37 PM »
Thought I would start this because its mostly funny.

I didn't expect to be able to kill an onslaught with an omen and take no hull damage.

Suggestions / Travel via "slingshot"
« on: November 23, 2012, 11:40:08 AM »
This is used by NASA to get drones/ research stuff around solar system. I figure why not add it to the game in the map. Increase speed as you swig around a planet. Just a thought ;)

Suggestions / Bribery
« on: November 21, 2012, 08:41:02 PM »
So yah say you weren't paying attention to where you where going and run into a much bigger fleet. How about being able to bribe your way past? Of course the opposing fleet could just ignore it, or you can't agree in a price for the bribery. So it wouldn't work all the time, but I think it would be a nice feature. ;D

Suggestions / Damaging ship systems
« on: November 05, 2012, 01:26:19 PM »
Not sure if it's been suggested yet but what about having the ship system (F key) can be disabled? Would be an interesting addition to game play. You can sort of do this with burn drives by shooting out engines before engaged but to have it be able for all systems would be cool.

Excuse me if I suggest the impossible I have no experience in coding what so ever.

Lore, Fan Media & Fiction / Convicted
« on: October 18, 2012, 05:46:15 PM »
Convicted.
Thought I would try my hand a fan fiction :D

 chapter 1!
Spoiler
Alone... my fleet in ruins, my flagship dismantled, crew imprisoned, and for what? An asteroid field with rare materials that the hegemony said was there’s?  Where’s the justice in that?
--2 weeks ago--
"I am telling you David this has got to be our biggest find yet" Said Tom Ortell. We were at the usual bar in some wheat farming town. "For god’s sake Tom, how many of your get rich schemes have you come up with the past month?" I said taking a sip of the dark red liquor in my glass. It seemed like tom had an idea every few weeks on how to make enough money to buy an Onslaught. "This is the real deal David. My friends name is Joe Olegisky, and i have known him for years." Tom Whined. "Well what did you find?" I said irritably. He glanced around furtively and spoke in a whispered tone " Thing is Joe only managed to get a quick scan of a asteroid field while passing through trying to avoid some... adversaries." I sighed inwardly "Let me guess, your friend "Joe" got his ship captured, destroyed or some other crazy event and he needs money to get the navigational data banks." Tom gave me a hard look and then took  a long drink of his beer. He words were starting to get slurred as he spoke. "A hegemony patrol picked him up for moving some illegal weapons I asked him to transport." My eyes widened as he spoke. "God damn it Tom, you better be happy I am been your friend for 20 years because by regulations I should be taking you into custody." Tom, then began to get angry, and with the slur in his words it became hard to understand what he was saying. “All I need for you to-" BANG. Tom slipped off his chair and hit his head on the bar knocking him out cold. "Maybe it’s time to call it a night." I muttered to myself as I dragged tom into a room at the inn. “This is Captain David to Morningstar, do you read?” I winced at my raspy sounding voice as my head spun “I am gonna be a bit late…”
--Present day—
“David Marshall.”  The voice rang in my head as I Grimaced up, from the post at which my cuffs where fastened to, at the security guard. He smiled cheerily as he spoke “it’s about time you got what’s coming to you. After all the trouble you gave us, death would be too good for you.” The hatred in my stomach burned almost as much as the pain from the cuffs did. “So says the pawn in their political games.” I seethed. He face broke into a fierce expression as be hit me with an electrical baton.  I collapsed in pain held up by the cuffs. The guard's smile returned as if nothing had ever happened. “My sister was serving on the ISS Kronos II onslaught class capital ship at the time. I don’t suppose you remember the ship you destroyed. The hundreds of lives you killed?” the guard was practically red with anger but still had that peculiar smile on his face. “What in the hell did you expect me to do! They came in to clean the house on their operation. It’s not exactly my fault that were attacked. My fleet was backed in a corner, we had no choice.” The guard shook his head in disgust “Still sticking with that phony story. I had heard you were a good man once, loyal and willing to die for the hegemony, but now I can see your nothing more than scum.” Hatred burned in my eyes as I watched the guard walk away. His voice carried out behind him, “Oh by the way there handing you over to courts tomorrow and I will be sure to make your death as painful as possible.

General Discussion / Stuck and out of ideas...
« on: October 16, 2012, 05:15:41 PM »
I am currently playing my first save of starfarer which i have sunk about 10 hours into and Can not for the life of me beat the hegemony system defence fleet. I have been able to easily ruin the biggest tritachyon fleets without losing a ship but i lose just about everything when i fight the hegemony biggest fleet. i tried differant wepaon arangemnts even mixing up my fleet composition randomly and i just can't seem to crack it. This is more than likely do to my own inepitude, but i would still like to try to figure out a way to beat the fleet with minimal losses.  :-\
 I am currently using a fleet consisting of 1 Apogee, 1 Paragon, 2 Odessy, 2 Arura, 2 Hyperion.
 Any tips or helpfull hints would be apreciated.
