So i want to dive back in, but i want mods this time(last mod i used was umoz).

so ill get the big 2 nex and varya
and speed up and skill up.

but im conflicted on the faction mods all look awesome, how many can i have in my game? is there a limit and, will having too many mess up the map?

my favorite ship is the legion battle carrier, which mods have the best battle carriers in your opinion.

in the meantime im going to learn how to install mods again lol.

Factions: You can run as many as you like. I've run games with every available mod faction before. You need to increase the RAM allocated for Starsector to do so, though. You can find the settings in your Starsector folder, by editing the "vmparams" file with, say, Notepad, and giving it up to, but not more than 8GB of RAM. Java cannot handle more than 8GB all that well.

Look for:

Code

windows -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -Xss1024k -classpath 

For 7GB, change it to:

Code

windows -Xms7168m -Xmx7168m -Xss1024k -classpath 

Battle Carriers: Hresvelgr (Red Guard & Legio Infernalis variant especially), the Scalartech Filament, and several new Legion variants come to mind. Also, Kadur Seraph, and the Midline Triumph. There's a lot waiting for you.

Mod Installation: Download the mod from its respective source, then unpack the file in [...]\Fractal Softworks\Starsector\mods\ - that's it.

thanks both of the replys, seems I need to do a bit of experimenting.
but i do have 16gb RAM and a 1070, so i should be facing much issues(fingers crossed!)

im looking forward to trying those ship thanks for the recommendation!

Edit: forgot to ask should i get all content expansions i like too?

I suggest that you add a bunch of weapon/ship addons as they don't tank performance very much (I haven't noticed any performance hiccups with 10+ faction mods, like 5 ship/weapon packs. I've got 16gb of ram with a 1060.)
