Suggestions / Mouse Cursor To Crosshair In Battle

« on: August 05, 2019, 09:07:31 AM »

So, I've been watching a few recordings and a few videos and I can't help but notice over the ages that I've played Starsector how out-of-touch it feels when I notice the cursor isn't a crosshair (of course when i'm playing it doesn't occur to me).

So I had an idea. Alas, just an idea, but one that could work for long-term?

When you go into a battle, fleet-wise, while playing the game and controlling the ship yourself, the mouse cursor turns into a crosshair, so it adds to the feel that you are indeed controlling the guns and their direction, with a bit more precision. Likely instead of looking at a mouse cursor's tip, as it feels currently. An option to enable the classic mouse cursor would also be a good thing so people can play with the cursor instead of a crosshair if they don't feel bothered about the cursor being the crosshair.

I never thought about it until a few minutes ago.

prav, are you aware that your Skral bombers, and likely some other bombers too do not get shielded by fighters like Broadswords and Gladii? They may be missing the "bomber" tag if that may be the case, since 9a onwards introduced fighters going first and distracting/deploying means to distract enemy PD.

General Discussion / Mines (possibly related to Doom), explosives and their balance.

« on: February 05, 2019, 10:46:49 PM »

Earlier today I, as well as someone else, had found out that the Doom's mines, as well as some projectiles (reaper, maybe) have full damage on the edge of the radius of their mines, meaning you could be out of what should be the closest damage radius, but still take full damage from them, as the explosion radius doesn't seem to match the visual radius of the explosion.

A viable solution to this would be to have the explosive damage radius somewhat match the visible explosive radius of the projectile, mines especially.

This would mean the mines do less damage-per-distance from the center of the explosion, also meaning they're less deadly the further from the core you get.

Alas, this would make the mines slightly less viable, since the explosion radius would have been adjusted, but if the Doom, and other minelayers were able to shut down the enemies engines, this would be a dangerous situatio for them.

The spawn radius for the mines shouldn't be changed, as a precaution to this. Changing the spawn radius for the mine to spawn closer to the enemy ship would be disastrous.

General Discussion / Re: What are ways you add variety to your Starsector gameplay?

« on: January 22, 2019, 01:23:53 AM »

If the current fleet is defeated, once, twice or three times in a run, it's over.

The rules set as follows -

You only get a max of 3 - 5 lives, 1 at the start and 1 each when you complete certain conditions, unless stated otherwise.

*Successfully taking a market, up to three in one life.
*Defeating a set number of end-game bounties
*Attaining rare blueprints and successfully gaining colony size 6, with a steady income.
*Attaining 5 capitals
*Reaching Max Level (usually lv-70 for me, I do not do more than 6 - 10 combat skills, as the officers can level up to 27 - 30).

--

The settings were modified last time so that pirate bounties give even less (about 6k - 12k) less at the start, making it far harder to obtain anything, but around endgame they give a bit more, or a lot more, dependent on actual fleet size.

Pirates/Cabal spawn a lot more, as well as mercenary fleets, so more trouble. Bases spawn more frequently, and less of a waiting time for them (30 days minimum).

Commissions give quite a lot, but not enough for a big fleet to give 120k.

Spoiler

At any point during the playthrough you collect a duplicate, no matter how rare or powerful, you go to the black market and you sell it, doesn't matter where. This ensures the pirates are more powerful than any other faction and threatening during the endgame. This includes Dassault Mikoyan weapons, knowing how powerful they are. It also opens up...interesting possibilities. To this end, i've even given the pirates better starts by ensuring "certain" ships and blueprints are known to the pirates. *Nation, wink wink.*

The bug in question is that no matter how many points are put into vents, the vent-rate doesn't show an increase in the loadout screen.

Suggestions / Expeditions At High Relations.

« on: January 04, 2019, 10:23:03 AM »

Please ignore this post if this has already been validated.

So, as far as I, and possibly others know, expeditions happen regardless of relation, which can be particularly irritating knowing you've done a ton of work to try and increase relations with a faction to see if expeditions will cease, only to find out that expeditions are still underway, due to having more of one commodity than another core-world faction.

Would it be possible in a future release to lower expedition frequency or outright cease any expeditions once relations are high enough? (a good determinate base level for outright ceasing any expeditions from a faction would be 80 - 95, while 50 - 80 would be a good level for reduction of expedition frequency)

Unsure about that, currently me and stormbringer hold permissions, but we haven't really gotten around to anything just yet. I'll have to contact him, see what ideas he feels like sharing, and i'll see if I could work on the sprites.

Worst-case-scenario for the sprites would be that they have to be kitbashed from Vanilla parts, but vanilla's a beauty anyway.

Today I fought a Luddic Pather Station that quite literally vanished during a fight against it. (I'm unaware of any new versions)

Who knew the Pathers could vanish so quickly and quietly due to an armor piece being destroyed by Piranhas and beams...

Jokes aside, this looks to be a moderate, or rather serious bug.

Bug Reports & Support (modded) / AI problems have reared their ugly head again

« on: December 10, 2018, 01:28:20 PM »

Today I have realised a problem beknownst to any AI that uses maneuverability-based systems, and possibly light ships.

Spoiler

[close]

In this screenshot here, a Tunguska (with a maneuverability system revolving around a burst drive that allows it to move quickly) charges and suicides into a station.

It's not the only thing this type of AI does it to. It will charge anything and absolutely refuses to back off, often overloading itself and quite literally suiciding into capitals, especially anything it has it's ire focused on. This happens with all classes of ships, so long as they have a maneuverability system.

The ships that usually use a burn drive are almost totally safe from doing obscene things like this. It's most indefinitely the maneuvering jet-type ships that have this problem from my experiences.

Please check whatever causes this problem, as i'm completely certain it happens in vanilla as well.
