Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
So, I suggest that when we have missing crew, the crew fills in from top to bottom in the screen, so if you are missing just a few crew, only 1 ship is out of commission.
I just realized my current plan has too many different scenes stuffed into the last leg of the story, so I went back and added a new scene to Chapter 7 (it's just before the one in the bar).
I'm looking forward to the next release of the game to (hopefully) relax the worst of these restrictions. Right now, far too much depends on your faction relationships; you need to be in their good graces before you can buy the really great hulls, let alone in any quantity.
You'd get better/more replies if your thread title made sense. "Relationship rot" is rather gnomic and nobody can understand what it's about until you click and read the post.
14 Fighters + 2 Atrals seems very under-fightered to me, unless they are all bombers. I generally go 3:1 fighters to carriers without a problem.
Here's my Falcon. It basically just tanks, runs up enemy flux, and throws a couple of Reapers on occasion.
Speed. Falcon makes a good bully ship to support a frigate/destroyer mix.
...Which kind of leads me to thinking that Falcon<->Eagle is simply not where it should be compared. Instead, it is mostly superior alternative to Hammerhead...
Against other vanilla cruisers, it is dangerously light-weight and under-featured.
And compared to small ships, it can even be set up as a decent-enough tank for absorbing enemy fire while your smaller but more numerous partners gang-tackle the enemy in a massed rush. I definitely think the markets need to have a larger stock, and cycle more frequently.
Do bounties for them and eventually you will get out of the hostile relationship.
but it is true large energy weapons are hard to find, i only could equip the high intensity laser or the laser pulse cannon.
I'd happily accept a version without any mods for the moment - although I'm not sure if anyone else would like that. I'm rather used to losing my saves when updates come out, and other people may not.In all seriousness, this could be a superb opportunity to fork the mod with minimum pain -- Uomoz has doubtless already felt the pain himself, via making the necessary 0.65a changes, so that's now a "sunk cost". Having both an all-vanilla version and a multi-mod version would be quite intriguing, offering a new range of options to the player community.
agreed, would also be nice if escape pods starts ejecting out of the hulk in the mean time
or if ships limp off the field while "sinking" are automatically repaired (to a certain extent) instead of being destroyed
These repaired ships could then turn into the degraded variants we already see ingame! That would be fitting no?
could you please make the money (credits) indicator always visible in campaign?
The lack of diversity on market offerings is a serious problem. In 40 levels, I've yet to see an Apogee, Aurora, Tempest, Hyperion, Conquest, Doom, or Paragon, and I basically live in Tri-Tach space.I agree that it's a serious problem.
