You can expand your fleet far above the 100 points limit by having a lot of extra crew (especially elite ones) and accepting a lowered max CR. With maxed Logistic you can fairly easily get a 150/175FP fleet.

[Ahne]

Can you explain that a little bit? I just need more crew to increase the logistic points? How does that makes sense, i mean crew in general should use logistic points instead of giving me free logistic points to spend on ships.

[Tartiflette]

Oh they will consume more too and take their salary too, but you can also imagine having more extra crew will make the fleet slightly more efficient thus bigger.

In any case, 100 green crew gives you 1.4 logistics capacity, regular gives 1.65, veteran gives 1.85, and elites give 2.  As a result, each 100 green crew is a net +0.4 logistics capacity, regular is +0.65, veteran is +0.85, and elite is +1.  The excess crew is always taken from the bottom of your pool; if you have 300 elite, 300 green, and 400 skeleton crew, you have 200 green excess.

This is normally enough to boost up fleet size to 125 or something, at the cost of doubling (or worse) your daily upkeep costs.

On top of that you got skills that increase the max CR of all your ships, so you can increase your fleet further.

Ok i will keep that in mind, thx! Anyway, is there a way how i can mod/change that i get +1 logistic point for every level i gain? I would really enjoy that change!

Excelent! I was just waiting for a new excuse to start a new playthrough. Thanks for your efforts man.

[Xanderzoo]

Huh... I updated to this new version and the explosions don't look any different. What exactly did you change?

[Dark.Revenant]

There is a very brief but large flash when the ship explodes.

Thanks a ton, it worked!

[Ahne]

Is there a way to mod/change to get +1 logistic point for every level up?

[Creepin]

Ahne, I believe what you need is located in starsector/starsector-core/data/characters/skills/scripts/SkillData.java
Open it with notepad, search for the entries with "logistics" in them and edit.

Upd: actually, I've found a better way: there's commented out and thus disabled skill, Coordinated maneuvers, in starsector\mods\Starsector Plus\data\characters\skills\skill_data.csv
Open it with notepad, search for the entry started with #coordinated_maneuvers and remove #. It will give you 10 logistics point without feeling cheating like option above

[Ahne]

thx for the info, i will try that.

By the way i don't call it "cheating" only because i want to get a more smooth gameplay experience and to outplay the fact that you currently have to spend massive amounts of skill/ability points into leadership only to be able to create "normal" sized fleet to engage bigger fleets properly.

greetings

I'm looking to disable the crew pay thing.  Where would the variable for that be stored?

[Dark.Revenant]

You will have to pull apart and rebuild the .jar for that.  The script for crew payment is mainly an event class that contains the crew payment logic.  The fastest way of preventing the event from starting is to comment out the lines that instance it in the mod plugin script.

Really enjoyin SS+ 

Any chance the Sunder (U) can be boosted a bit more over the vanilla Sunder? For an upgraded / ultra version it doesn't seem to have much stat difference

Otherwise great so far although still alot of ships to try out
