Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
Alright, I'll make a push to update things this weekend.Woohoo, thanks!
*EDIT - let me know if there's any key things you want to see beyond raw 0.7.2 compatibility and the fixes needed for my last update (no new art- that stuff really slows me down).
I kinda like it as well, but doesnt it clash with Templars somewhat?Ah, I forgot, their color probably is similar. Templars are one of the few major mod factions I haven't included in a campaign yet.
I pronounced it "Seh-toh-nee-ah".I second this one. =)
Honestly, I don't see doing that. Autofire state isn't meant to be static; it's something that you end up toggling on and off a fair bit during combat.
Oh hey, speaking of weapons - I was just digging through the files, trying to figure out why the argus PD systems felt so much weaker than they used to. And I found some things of note:Oh wow, I thought I was just crazy. I've noticed the Argus line of weaponry underperforming as well. The beams seem to sometimes "slip past" missiles on a guided approach - even very slow missiles, IIRC. Good to hear you're aware of the issue. =)
The first is that these weapons never got buffed when increased damage from high flux was removed from the game.
The second is that - for reasons I do not fully understand - they underperform against moving targets; an Argus Particle Beam, with its current stats, should be able to take out a salamander missile in two hits (same as burst PD); in actual practice, it requires three. It looks like this has something to do with the autofire AI not tracking properly - when I add sufficient range mods for it to shoot at a salamander that's still on a straight line approach, it does manage to kill the missile in the expected two shots.
Testing against ships demonstrates some additional foibles. The big one is that the game engine only calculates beam damage in tenth-of-a-second ticks; so when the Argus PD Array (for example) is "supposed" to fire for .28 seconds for a total burst damage of ~308, it actually only fires for .2 seconds, for a total burst damage of ~220. (And no, I have no idea why the Codex claims that weapon "should" be doing 235 damage per burst; it's clearly not.)
Hi everyone.Hey, don't worry about it. =) I'm glad to know that a) you aren't gone for good, and b) fixes are OK'd! I wish you luck with your real life troubles.
First, I'd like to apologize for not replying or addressing to the issues that you are all having. It's irresponsible of me.
Secondly, I would like to let you all know that I'm having a bit of a rough time right now. A few considerable issues IRL have been weighing me down and affecting my mood, which doesn't leave me much energy to mod. I approve of any fixes that you upload for now, because I'm unable to make my own.
Lastly, I'm going to say that I am definitely not happy with the current iteration of Citadel. With the next update I do, I'm like to make major lore and background changes, which is a lot of work. In the mean time, I'll just try and get over the struggles I'm having outside of this great modiverse, and I hope you all have fun playing around with the other neat mods coming out instead. Sorry.
Because common courtesy would be to ask Foxer first.I get the common courtesy; should have asked first, ok.
Because if the "fix" doesn't fix anything (or worse), nobody can blame Foxer.
Because while nobody can prevent you from tinkering with someone else mod for your enjoyment, you aren't legally authorized to release it unless specifically told otherwise.
Because starting to modify his work seems innocent, but them someone else think he can do whatever he want with it, including releasing it under his own name elsewhere.
It's nice of you to do that, it's not the question here. But unless Foxer said you could release it, maybe it's better to do that by PM. Just to be on the safe side.Into the ethical minefield I go... what is the ethical benefit of gating distribution behind PM requests as opposed to posting a download link?

I gave it a shot. Just copy/paste the folders over the mod folder, unless you're running Mac, then you'll have to move the individual files yourself.
For the faction, they now offer commissions. Also, they were set to never get food shortages, I went ahead and changed that.
As for the ships, I basically compared the supply cost to similar ships found in vanilla and SSP+ and then multiplied by 1.5.
The Stable now has 200 cargo (Previously 150), to help carry all the extra supplies needed.
I also edited the mako.
Armor 350 -> 200 (Which is what a wolf has)
Flux Vent 500 -> 350 (Too low cuts into weapon use)
Max Flux 1500 -> 1350
Shield size 210 -> 180 (Between this and the armor cut, should be enough)
Removed ITU (Which does nothing on fighters), armored weapons, advanced turret gyros (it has ONE turret, and its a swarmer missile rack), and point defense AI (It already has a pair of mini-eflaks)
I made the proton and neutron a bit stronger, well sorta.
The proton loses its eflak, this makes the AI retreat as soon as it fires its single missile instead closing into range to shoot ships with its weak PD.
The neutron gets a second plasmathrower, and a bit more flux to fire it.
If you don't like the changes to the proton/neutron, you can simply delete the entries in the hulls folder before overwriting anything.
