Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
The paragon is Threat; it has an L20 pilot, typically with garbage skills.Usual AI vs AI experience here is Paragon dead, Onslaught 20%-25% hull with an optimized L20 pilot.
Are you saying the onslaught has a level 20 officer and the paragon doesn't?
Usual AI vs AI experience here is Paragon dead, Onslaught 20%-25% hull with an optimized L20 pilot. Seriously considering reconfiguring the game to increase fleet limit beyond 30 on my next playthrough, if I can find an appropriate JSON adjustment.What game version are you playing in? Onslaughts are, by far, the fastest capital ships. And Paragons are, by far, the slowest and least maneuverable. So while the Paragon does outrange the onslaught, being the only high tech ship that does it will not do so for long, and will barely even have time to maneuver before being beset upon by superior firepower and flux stats.
What version of the game are you playing? The paragon has vastly superior flux stats, 8k more flux capacity and more than double the flux dissipation (1250 vs. 600). Plus fortress shield which makes it more or less invulnerable. Onslaught will flux lock itself long before paragon gets anywhere near max flux.
I can tell you now that this is not a Junk Pirates bug. It's a known bug that occurs when running many combination of mods, and we don't really know why it happens. When and why seem to be wholly random.It acts like an automatic garbage collector hang; multi-threading deadlock don't need hours of runtime to set up a test. The surprising thing is that it takes mods to trigger it.
I think though as a novice so there are probably good reasons as to why this isn't an option; so I guess this post is also for my own education, but I have a few ideas about how to implement it.Already implemented: it's a dev mode command explicitly documented in this forum.
The commands won't work in the simulator nor if the flagship is on autopilot.May I assume the commands won't work if the flagship isn't even deployed? (Yes, this does work for newbies -- just need hordes of command points and a frame rate multiplier of 0.5 to compensate).
Thoughts on lowering load times.Be prepared for a 5x-10x increase in file sizes. WAV has almost no compression.
1. Why OGG? Why not allow WAV? In fact... I wonder if WAV loading works? I might have to test that out.
finditem heavy_machineryThunders used to have Harpoons, and there were AI problems with them in earlier versions. That was solved by replacing the Harpoon with unlimited LMG and repurposing them into super-fast interceptor instead of multirole fighter.Potentially early-game easy mode. A Heron stacked with three Thunders can solo-snuff 3-4 "trash" pirate leftovers in Nexerilin (fighter strike orders, appropriately skilled officer).
