Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Simulator Enhancements (03/13/24)
The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.
Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.
I Find it odd that ships can decelerate as fast as they can accelerate.Also they have same topspeed in reverse as forward. The engines on the back are usually massive where as the reverse engines barely seen. Maybe reverse speed should be half as well as deceleration?
& my 3 cents:you can decelerate twice as fast holding "S" & "C" button at the same time (works better on bigger ships)a little trick that i don't mind but maybe Alex should do something about it
Just pitching in my two cents worth. It would make a lot of sense for larger ships to decellerate quickly as when coming into dock the ship in question wouldn't want to be decelerating for a few hours. Scaled up to realistic speeds the large capital ships could take almost a day to decellerate from their full speed. And retro thrusters would be at the very least common on battleships, mainly to allow them to quickly change direction if needed.
