Give them specifics Meso. Not everyone can understand DR's Dark Code

I mean what the autofitter comes up with on average is a far cry from the dynamic variants Dynasector puts out.

In 0.9, autofit was truly terrible, making many ships way less threatening than they could be. Supposedly some of its bugs have been fixed in 0.9.1 and I haven't played terribly much of the current version, so I can't say yet if it's been improved, but terrible accidents still happen. I think I've seen some other bad cases, but nothing quite beats this.

Wow! OK, it is as bad as I thought it was! Damn!

Autofit added in 0.9 undersizes mounts way too often. That causes enemy ships to have subpar loadouts, such as Conquest with Heavy Mortars instead of Mk IX or Hellbores, which would be way more effective. It makes battles often easier, because AI loadouts aren't that good compared to what player can come up with.

It also likes to add hullmods for some reason, going as far as choosing weapons cheaper in OP to add something like Reinforced Bulkheads or other hullmods...

You haven't played Starsector unless your storage has one thousand Vulcans in it.

It definitely does some strange things and for some reason really really prioritize pd weaponry.

Ill see if I can find some screen shots. But I clearly remember an onslaught with pd weapons and flare launchers all over it. With only, PD and Flare launchers.

Wrong game version. The current version of starsector is 0.9.1a, while this mod only supports 0.8.1a.

You know if there are any plans on updating it? 9.1a has been out for a while.

And this mod is fairly complicated as well, and updating it got a whole lot harder with autofit in play, and DR has several other mods he works on. He isn't going to abandon Dyna, but it still will take him a long time to remake it.

Fairly complicated is an understatement, it is a tome of black magic and sorcery.

Anyways good things come to those who wait friends.

Hey, just downloaded the latest version of Varya mod packs and Nexerelin, got some trouble with Dynasector. I could go without it, but would like to avoid to have a sector with some 4+ modded factions not working propperly. It doesn't even load the game to begin with, it gives "error kite_variant not found, see starsector.log" (not verbatim). Anyone incurring in the same problem?

Ah, also, just downloaded the game a week ago, and i'm totally behind the idea, kinda addicted.
Also, first post in the forum.
Also also, not english motherlenguagist, so sorry for the typos and awfull spelling here and there :3
Have a nice day!
