I'm looking forward to playing with the new carriers. I've always wanted to play with them, but I could never really make them work due to the exorbitant cost of running a carrier/fighter fleet.

I'll do one game where I am an honest, non violent trader in one small ship (kite or hound maybe) and try to survive ONLY by legal trade and occasional smuggling, if I can do it without *** off anyone too much.

If you are able to ahem, 'rescue' enemy crew during salvage in this version, I'll try to be a pirate mongol nomad horde that never lands but grows by salvaging D ships and liberating crew, supplies, fuel and weapons from the oppressors.

I would like to play this game very much. (Jesus I hope it comes out at least two weeks before ME:Andromeda or at least 4 weeks afterwards)

Either way, here's the plan

- Push a single starter frigate as hard and fast as possible

- Build up the old-school frigate wolf-pack replete with whatever TriTachTech I can get my hands on

- Add anything that's fast and has a flight deck and transition to trying fighter swarms for anything frigate sized or smaller with hard hitting fast flying frigates with oversized guns to flank and take down capitals.

In other words: The same thing I do every time, try to take over the galaxy!


Edit: I'm also going to sell a lot of drugs. Especially where drugs are illegal, that's where I'll sell the most drugs.

Slaver scum can *** off.

Whelp, we are halfway through February...are we gonna get the patch before March 3 and the release of the Nintendo Switch?!

To put things in perspective, the Wii U (Nintendo's current console) released back on November 18, 2012. So, Starsector has been in development for longer than it has taken Nintendo to transition from one major console generation to its next! :o

That's only because Starsector is more complex, fun, intuitive, complete and superior peace of virtuality  than some little, insignificant, toylike mostly plastic peace of handheld console-wannabe  ::)  Soooo that is why creation of Starsector is more time consuming.

*glance behind him and run from angry Nintendo fans :P

i was gonna say, it's not like there's any real hardware difference in nintendo consoles. they just throw darts at a board for some new, equally pointless gimmick and then all the kids with no taste eat it up.

just kidding ::)

only a little ;)

I don't really see how Starsector and Switch can compete in any possible way either to be honest... :-\

On a personal note, I'm more worried about approaching release of Starpoint Gemini Warlords. I have played SPG2 for quite some time, and it was pretty solid game (no where near Starsector though). I haven't played SPG:W EA yet, but looks like they got some very interesting features coming, and tons of improvements over previous installments plus has decent mod support (remember making some minor mods for personal usage, don't think it would be harder here). As far as I know, it supposed to get full release in Q1 2017, so if it comes out before 0.8 and appears solid, oh my...

When you can't go on, just accept your doom. It comes to all, it is inevitable.

Also I totally had the name BEFORE the cruiser.

Make a fleet as fast as possible, so I can outrun anyone, pursue anyone, and break them.

Then comes the weapons. Not sure right now, but definetly modding the hell out of the game.
