That there are never enough mod-factions that remain up-to-date.

It will always be that way until the game is done, with each patch during alpha and likely beta the amount of work to maintain a mod increases substantially.

When frigates and fighters just WON'T disengage. I've had frigates that are 100 speed faster than everything else around, given them a direct order to intercept a ship across the map, and find that a minute or more later they are still dancing in and out with the slower target. Just fly away!

Yeah, that is my only real quibble with the AI. Intercept orders should override self preservation to a much higher degree.

Her is another one: Ships aren't aware that they can face one way and go another way. You see this alot in retreating front shielded ships

Oh man, when I was defending the AI I forgot to complain about other things.

I still hate the crew system! Buying and selling crew members like they're lobsters is weird and sort of creepy, and it doesn't make any sense that you can take an elite crewman from a battleship, stick him in a fighter he's never seen before, and expect him to operate at peak performance. Also, you can still have like 900 fighters shot down over the course of a battle and not lose any crewmen somehow.

[Schwartz]

I don't hate the crew system at all, but I do find the 'halved crew' skill a bit silly as far as fighters are concerned. Jeb, Bob and Joe, you'll be piloting these 6 fighters over here.

Eh?

There are some rough edges, but I would say that Starsector is the best 2d space combat game to date. Alex really thought thing out, and it shows.

[MindsEye]

I agree with alot of things said here. I really like the idea of giving ship parameters to follow.Ill add.

Boarding is terrible.I never use it.Why does everyone self destruct their ships.Everyone in the universe just wants to die I guess.

Eh?

I could question about the know-how about Compilations, but I don't think this is a good place to ask those questions.

- When the AI decides it's time to charge into the middle of a pack of enemies and then gets taken out in seconds.

That happens when there is an unshielded ship (they receive target priority) is among the emy fleet, then you AI decide to attack it, going in to weapon range, then it realize its taking too much fire, then it tries to retreat, then it turns its engines to the enemy trying to turn, then it takes fire in engines, then it blows up 1 second later.

100% certain this is how it is. Seen it happen too many times.
