Thanks everyone, at least I know there's some of you interested in our mod.
The Solvernia variant especially looks really nice, its color scheme is quite striking. And you could hide it somewhere, like Neutrino's Unsung, if it ends up being too powerful for general use.
After you're done with the planned (sketched) ships, will you add more ships? The planned ships in the cruiser category consist of only carriers, so unless that's intended you should probably add a ship or two into that category.
Very nice sprites! I love the striking, sci-fi sharpness of them!
Looking forward to what this faction has in store.
What sort of play style are you thinking of for this faction? What about the weapons?
Ryxsen1421 your sprite work is sexy. I can't wait to fly them around the sector! And, ping a moderator if you have a download you want promoted to the other subforum.
Man, this is awesome! I know what my next playtrough of Nexlerein will next. And i am really like your style.(http://i.imgur.com/voqoXb8.png)

Three Built-in VLMS
Its like a slow destroyer-size submarine with decent phase duration ( unlike vanilla ships that are nimble and deadly ), I hope we can make it phase in and out at much slower rate with cooldown timer. I'm thinking of this ship to be specifically made to combat anything bigger and slower than a destroyer. Her torpedoes might be unguided but fast that deals heavy damage if not blocked or intercepted.
Ever since we cant really have a dedicated switch ammo type system for the submarine, it may have two anti-shield and four high explosive torpedo loadout frontally. The rear tubes will have high explosives only.
That Super-capital.... even the silhouette gives me the chills.
I'd say keep it, you can even have it as an IBB or a "Boss Ship" like the ones in ApproLight.
Hehe, thanks again everyone! We're almost done salvaging the mod and slapping old weapons back onto our ships. By the way, what upgrades do you guys wanna suggest for this ship? I might consider implementing them for her military and advanced variants.

can you guys see this? its a demosntration of our signature AA weapon system but not sure if we can reproduce it in current starsector version....I'm no modder, but I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. The Reina's (which I assume was what you were showing off) seem to act like vulcans, though I could easily be missing something.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzcHPyMk12I
I'm not trying to specifically aim towards this mod to do this, but i'd like to have more point defense like the Vulcan cannon.
I'm not sure if its just me but the visuals of a volley of quickly fired bullets look cool.
with a pinch of flak rounds. that's what the Reina PD's about. but if you feel like wanna have classic PDs, I better start making more sprites then. :)
Is it difficult to reproduce a fast-firing flak gun?
Those effects certainly were really sleek though!

Nameless
Heavy Freighter
Feel free to suggest names to her.
Man, the Nameless is such a cool name for a ship, though. Maybe we could have one in-lore as some kind of hero ship?"Nameless" sounds more like a name that goes to a mysterious and powerful warrior who's actions have inspired fear...That should be saved for a extremely powerful ship.
As for class names,
Hakobu
Rifuta
Morigana
Aliana
Kamotsu
Unso
Takiko
Arixis
Opphaler. According to Google Translate, it's Norwegian for "Hauler"

"Nameless" sounds more like a name that goes to a mysterious and powerful warrior who's actions have inspired fear...That should be saved for a extremely powerful ship.
Random idea for a cruiser class ship called that: Low armor and hull but fast and maneuverable with a narrow but tough shield. Narrow profile with no rear defense and limited broadside defense. 2 hidden large weapon hardpoints that are tailor-made purely for the ship. Only 3-5 small ballistic mounts, intended for defense. Low flux capacity and vent points, but with a active system that vents flux rapidly when used. Dark coloring with nothing to make it stand out except that there is nothing to make it stand out.
Basically a quiet harmless looking cruiser who, if you let your guard down, will kill you before you realize something is wrong.

Fast Torpedo Wing
I believe this is what you're looking for. a very fast and nimble strikecraft capable of dealing strategic blow to enemy ships. but this one can only launch a barrage of torpedoes before needing to return to carrier for resupply. however, she won't have anything but speed to avoid taking hits. I also have a much bigger strikecraft ( as big as a Tempest frigate! ), but I havent remake it for use yet.
(https://i.imgur.com/WLAesnw.jpg)
here's my counterpart of the vanilla small carrier. we're almost ready to launch the mod, starting with frigate size ships and their respective weapons!
Hey, how's the mod coming along, if I may ask? The waiting is killing me. ;)
ETA, somewhere in the middle of April.
The question arises of Nexerelin compatibility.
Or will it not have it from the start?
Nice to finally see the mod get off the ground! I played around in the test mission, and this is what I could think of immediately:
1) Sound design is really nice, but it has issues with timing (weapon sounds play long after the weapon has been fired).
2) The Reisen seems to have one of its Medium Ballistics slots as a Large Ballistic instead (the frontal right one).
3) The Weiss_50 and Claris_50 have identical projectile appearance despite having wildly different mechanics/stats, which makes them very hard to identify in a firefight.
4) The Solvernia seems to have 4 built-in cannons, but these can be removed by clicking "Strip" (This is probably due to an issue in the .ship file). It also completely lacks collision bounds.
5) The special hullmod doesn't seem to work as intended: looking through the code it seems as though you are using some functions in ways they don't quite work. Also, a quick tooltip on what, more exactly, the hullmod is supposed to do would be nice.
All in all, really nice work for a first version!
4) How do you fix the 'strip' problem?Make the weapons Built-In, not part of the Variant. Build-In weapons may not be removed via Strip.
Looking forward to your work, love the ships these act like Battle-cruisers once you hit the jets

There's no obligation, but it's generally considered polite and makes it much easier to check for malicious code in a mod - and it preserves your comments, which simply digging around in the .jar doesn't.
As far as any misguided attempts at 'securing' code go, it doesn't do much.
The source code is in the jar, guys. Open it with an archive program and extract the zip within.

Well, here's a website full of articles on why free software (free as in freedom) and freely licensing your code is important.

I use this Java Decompiler GUI (https://github.com/java-decompiler/jd-gui) to explore the "cooked" JAR files of every StarSector mod I've played with thus far, as part of my efforts to learn how to code for this game.
As with all decompilers, the resulting converted java is not a 100% match for the original source code, but at least the interface is clean and lightweight, which suits my purposes. Thus, having a ZIP or unpacked java src folder within the mod folder is no longer a necessity for me.
Let us leave it at that and keep this thread on topic please.
So far I like this mod, it has some good potential. One thing that really annoys me though is Favonius, it keeps spewing out an unreasonable amount of tourist fleets from different factions and I always find 20 fleets full of buffalos and nebulas fighting eachother and massively slowing down the game. After finding that out I started always targeting and destroying that planet as my first priority.They should also be neutral (edit: as in Independent faction), just named Tourism Fleet or something, regardless of which faction they spawn from.
Perhaps you could tone down the spawn rate of tourist fleets, or if you can't simply remove whatever industry or market condition Favonius has that makes those fleets spawn ?
They should also be neutral, just named Tourism Fleet or something, regardless of which faction they spawn from.From what I've seen, hostile factions will attack each other. I've seen plenty of hegemony tourist fleets attack other hostile tourist fleet such as the Anarkis, Legio or League.
That way they'd only really be fighting pirates.
I have a bit of a problem, all auroran markets stopped selling ships, i do not have any idea on what caused it, but i do have a guess, they stopped selling ships after i used the "home" command from console commands, i set my home on auroria and went out to do a mission, then used the command to teleport back, only to find the ship market completely empty.You would probably be better off posting this in the forum of the mod that adds the home command rather than this one.
If anyone has encountered the same problem but managed to fix it, please do tell me how, because i dont want to start a new run just because of this.
edit: just found out if affected all the modded factions.
An essay worth of useful feedback.

Found a bug. "java.lang.RuntimeException: Error loading [graphics/weapons/Claris CN/pd_claris_cn_turret_recoil.PNG] resource".
Looking into it there's only one pd_claris_cn_turret_recoil.PNG, and changing it to a .png triggers a similar error; "java.lang.RuntimeException: Error loading [graphics/weapons/Claris CN/pd_claris_cn_hardpoint_recoil.png] resource"
FYI there's a Linux-specific bug: the mod won't get past the loading screen due to the case-sensitivity with file paths.
Specifically Starsector looks for:
- pd_claris_cn_hardpoint_recoil.png (not found) vs. pd_claris_cn_hardpoint_recoil.PNG (exists).
- sm_tona_rg_hardpoint_recoil.png (not found) vs. pd_claris_cn_hardpoint_recoil.PNG (exists).
- sm_tona_rg_turret_recoil.png (not found) vs. sm_tona_rg_turret_recoil.PNG (exists)
- aria.png (not found) vs. Aria.png (exists).
Once either the file paths or file names (but not both) are modified correctly Starsector can get past the loading screen when UAF is enabled.
Given the existing files the easiest would be to simply use lowercase file extensions.
EDIT: v0.7.2d1 still has these issues.

Like I said before, you could make all civilian traffic be from the Independent faction regardless of where they're coming from. That way they'd only really be hostile to Pathers/Pirates and would stop fighting each other all the time. The space between the Aurora worlds and the rest of the core becomes a transport graveyard far too easily.Feedback
I'll ask my co-dev to disable this until I figure out a better way to show civilian traffic in and out of the resort world.

For fighter, is there an easy way to compare their weaponry when choosing to outfit a carrier?
Something like the Super Aria has 3 different weapons with unknown parameters:
1 x 40mm CN Class I (Some kind of kinetic)
2 x AMSSM Class III (HE?)
2 x HVAR Class I (HE?)

Not sure if this was mentioned or not, my job is to throw this out here: when you colonise a planet with industrial ruins from industrial evolution, my planet had 3 different stability and "population upkeep" modifiers, which resulted in 549% upkeep and 10% income modifiers at 7 stab on a 200% hazard planet
the apparent problem can be found here

Previously these modifiers were quite crippling and multiplied each other, replacing them with 1 fixed it, so in summary something in the mod gives you 3 more stability modifiers than you should have and "population upkeep", hope this helps

Fighter weapon classes.
High fighter casualty rate and commission crew bonus.

Solvernia causing problem again.
Fighter casualty, marine quest feedback and praises.
Enquiry regarding Yimie and Queen.
i'v never been a missile fan...but the Purcellyra man. ever since i got my hands on it, i'v been using it exclusively. I never knew spamming missiles would be this fun!!!
love the mod so far.
tho i can't seem to figure out how to get my hands on the super capitals and or contact the head npc(can't remember the name).
Suggestion on how to get the ship.
Solvernia.
....As for commissioned crew.. yeah, I've been asked for that even before UAF was released. I don't know why I haven't done it yet. I guess I'm not sure what I wanted for the thing? If possible I'd like to have at least 3 CCs ( carrier / combat / logistics ) that you can choose from but I'm not the coder and I din't know if its possible or not. I am currently indecisive and clueless, will likely to stay that way for the next couple versions....
Suggestion.
Storing AI ships.
Generally I don't think the CC-Bonus comes with a downside unless it's a really good bonus, given that it's something you're only supposed to get if you sign on with them or ally with them.Suggestion.
I did considered that actually but then I immediately remember seeing people complaining about how durable the fighters are in combat, hence I nerfed them all a couple times several versions ago. Maybe it should come with a downside too I guess?
or was it better to just give additional flux capacity instead since we have obvious weapon-to-flux inefficiency?
...
Hey one of your flag ship Solvernia has quite a lot of oversight in it like one of the missile section using crusier class while others using capital moduleThere's a quick fix for this. \Starsector.0.95a\mods\UAF\data\hulls and replace ["hullSize": "CAPITAL",] with ["hullSize": "CRUISER",]

I need more context about this to diagnose this problem. What happened in your game?
Is there any way to disable tourism currently? I love this mod, but all the tourist fleets completely cripple my computer, especially by midgame. I've tried removing the tourist beach building but that doesn't do it.
Bruh... Idk why, but when i point cursor on building Interdimensional Confectionery, my income and upkeep stats goes crazy.
I rised rep with UAF to max with Nexe operatives, mb this is the point? (I have no commission, and i cant built it, just pointing is enough)
Also when i do this again, multipliers changing!
Living upto my twitter and actually posting feedback in the thread;
The keycards are cool, but the more expensive ones should probably be limited somehow. Perhaps dedicated assassination/bounty missions offered by factions with an alert that a card might be involved? Saying "how about rare salvage from stations/planets" feels alittle boring as a recommendation.
Obviously this hurts getting early rep with UAF and Nia, so a "cheap" card can remain as drops to help players get that head start. Perhaps a damaged version of the existing cards that is still valuable for reputation but less cash?
I'm not really in favour of reducing the value of the original cards, finding one should be a good moment and money is always good! But the expensive ones dropping from random small pather/pirate fleets is abit crazy.
So i'm fairly new to the game still and decided to do a playthrough with this mod although i'm a bit stuck at the moment, when you speak to Nia the UAF administrator is she supposed to give you some quests or has this not been implemented yet? (wondering if this is the result of other mods that i'm running alongside uaf). When clicking the option to 'ask about uaf access' the only option I get is 'nevermind'.

Welcome to Starsector. Well, we haven't implement custom or unique sets of generic missions yet for our faction. So we've been using vanilla stuff as temporary placeholder. You should try to increase your reputation to Nia up to 50 to unlock all the access currently in the mod.
is there any upcoming hotfix to fix the blueprints issue, i reaally love the look and feel of the ships i just can't equip my fleet with your weapons and fighters and makes me very sad i've been looking for a few hours but I can't pinpoint the issues myself as there are so many fighters and weapons (v good i like this)

Always delete the old folder before any updating a mod. This crash is caused by leftover files from a previous version.Spoiler(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/461525528650973184/1008081393127018516/unknown.png)
Heads up, getting this error with the EA build
Well, that aircraft was removed and rebranded into something else - it is now Lumayan(mFA) hybrid fighter - sorry but your old save is now incompatible if you're using the EA build.I was wondering, who's the artist for all these new portraits?
The same person that draw basically everything in the mod really. lol ;)Hello friend, I would like to let you know that your mod made me fall in love with this game again.
I dont think that i spent so much time with a single run ever before.
Thank you. :)
And please dont nerf your ships too much in the future.
I am having so much fun as they are now.
Looking forward to future updates.

BTW, how the hell is a Federation ruled by a Queen?
I think the mod broke, the Aurora Diplomatic Bureau doesn't exist in my save, so I'm kind of stuck in terms of diplomatic relations with the UAF
Worth noting that the mod has had 3 updates since the beginning of the month. Make sure you have the up to date version.
Nia is not the only high ranking official you need to win over. You will need to have good standing with UEF as well as with Nia before she connects you with other key officials in UEF. Those officials are the ones who will give you access to their best ships.
ok so, for whatever reason, you need to have a commission with UAF in order to even get options to talk about UAF access even if you have maxed out Nia and are cooperative with the UAF.
personally i feel like either the commission part should get taken out, or it should get stated as a requirement seeing as currently Nia says they only give access out to trusted individuals

United Aurora Federation
A stray faction far away from home in a place where they don't truly belong.
Development is on-going towards 0.73 but the mod is actually playable in campaign.
Keep in mind that everything is subject to change and continuously being updated, nerfs and buffs come and go - but artstyle will never change.

There isn't much known about the Federation as a whole from where they're from but they do come in full force as they established a solid foothold in the outer reaches of the Persean Sector. Their goal is simple, they're simply there to guard the 'interdimensional' gate at all cost and hold until they found a way to close the gate and return home... but while waiting, why not try to be friendly with the locals, engage in cultural and trade exchange? Oh, lets sell some baked goods from their homeworld too because why not? at least we tried to be welcoming first but with an iron fist at the ready.
Ship Tech Tree removed because its too outdated, it will be given a new one sooner or later.

I think using the unofficial discords' channels might be more effective here - I *think* proofreading is something needed but I'm not sure. Try practicing by "forking" the mod (editing your current copy) and see if you have any issues.

I noticed that several of the UAF derelict ships have no damage with 3 in built s-mods is that intentional? Also when entering UAF territory they don't seem to mind that I have the transponder off allowing me easy access to the black market fleets, will this be patched in the future or is it part of the UAF lore?
So just got this mod, but I cant seem to find the star system where the UAF is located. Is there a set sector age we should be using along with size or any other requirements?Did you look in the lower left area of the Core during a non-random game?

Non-random game =/= Keeping random core worlds off on sector generation with Nexerelin installed and enabled.
I'm pretty far into a playthrough with this mod and I was wondering how the keycards I keep seeing options for with the contacts are supposed to spawn. I haven't been able to find any through exploration or defeating bounties generated with UAF fleets. Have I just been unlucky or am I just looking in the wrong places?

No, this is an issue I'm having as well, I think another mod's salvage weights may be overriding it.
So I tried to get the UAF weapon blueprint via Console Command mod and it always crashes my game.
Thanks for the great mod with so many ship weapon fighters etc.
Is there any way to turn off UAF nuke explosion effect..I tried editing setting but failed with crash.
Or hope there could be an option in setting file. The explosion effect is nice but it's kind of killing my eyes if I have more taufan fighters.

Bug Report:
Hey Ryxsen!
Using the latest version of the mod, and I can't progress the questline past Nia. I'm at 75 rep with her and 100 with UAF. I've tried being commissioned, not being commissioned, doing more missions, giving more cakes, etc. but I'm not getting any indication of contact with Irina, I've checked everywhere, in every tab of the game, in all UAF stations, just to make sure I haven't missed anything but nada.
For context I used the UAF start on Nex, and can give you my modlist if you need that too.

No, this is an issue I'm having as well, I think another mod's salvage weights may be overriding it.
I think I'm also having the same problem. A few runs ago I was using mod version 0.7.2e1 with over 100 other mods but I was regularly getting keycards after battles. Started a new save with 0.72f3e and over a 20 cycle period I didn't see a single keycard drop.
So I started removing other mods and starting new saves to test the drop rates, and eventually I reduced the game to just UAF and its dependencies and I still was not seeing any keycard drops.
So I think the keycard drop rates may be bugged in the EA version, or that my testing method was wrong (I tested by using console commands to teleport across the sector, battling random enemies, and I tested for about 20 fights each save before concluding that no keycards are dropping.)
I can also reproduce the crash when adding the weapon blueprint into my inventory via commands, and the crash happens when I try to open the inventory when the blueprint is added.
I am also having this issue. I'm at 100 rep with both Nia and the UAF. When doing the CONVERSE option and asking for UAF access it gets no dialogue and the only option is "nevermind"
HOWEVER, i did find that after i resigned my commission with another faction and then asked for a commission with the UAF and was accepted. After that i tried asking for access again and only then did i get it. the full dialogue and options.

0.72g1 build is just around the corner, if you guys just keep reporting andsolving things for us while at it. We can get the hotfixes and bugs patched out if possible before release.
Hi, amazing mod, I'm loving my commissioned playthrough with them!You need to get some minening ships and interact with planets and asteroids to mine them for resources :)
One question... Alexandra Yamato gave me a mission to go "mining", but I don't understand how to do it. How does it work? What am I supposed to do?
hi! idk if this has been adressed before, but in some of the wings that "stay and fight until ordered otherwise" in their description just return back on they do their first salvo, this is not only on mixed flight decks shared with bombers and what not, but also when they're the only wing employed.You might want to address specifically which wings were you talking about? I am using aria and naga wings for pretty much 80% of my hangar slots and they seem to work just fine to me.
Idk if this is an issue with the text or the wing itself and, as i kinda want to respect the mod intentions i won't try to "fix" either of those.
Just wondering if you guys are aware of it, cause right now it's making it a bit difficult to design my fighters wings based on "waves" or not. I also thing some of the fighters are clearly intented to stay and they come out very weak otherwise with a very meager salvo for the price which kinda gave me a bad impression of some of the wings that would be fine otherwise.
I might suggest that we need a bit more distinction on the wings, at least in their description (of course when fixed) it should be clearer to know their intended use etc, i like watching fighters and what not but i think that not everyone should need to spend 30 minutes testing every wing to get an idea of what they do and which ones are "bugged" and that might be the main thing, cause maybe i found the need to test them because i saw some of them not doing what i expected to do which cost me a couple of fights as i kinda like going in outgunned and watching a very expensive fighter wing dropping a 500 dmg salvo and running away was a bit jarring.
I love the mod, thanks for your works guys!
Greetings
I humbly come before you to ask of a simple request, hopefully to be thought about and implemented. Could you please add some ArmaA mecha strikecraft for the mod? I think it would fit the lore and playstyle of the UAF
Hello Ryxsen!
Great mod overall, but there are a couple of upper/lowercase mismatches in some filenames, which make the mod error out on loading for us few, poor Linux users ;)
Maybe you could patch these out in an upcoming version? Currently these need to by fixed manually every
time a new version is released (which is of course generally very much appreciated).
I put the affected files and definitions together below.
Thanks in advance!

Heya Ryxsen, linux user here, ran the UAF 0.72f3e version and ran into the same issue as 0.7.2e1, a previous poster mentioned this as well, i did the same as him and i was able to play the mod just fine, it was an issue regarding lowercase and upercase in the file extension some paths were .PNG while the file had .png and viceversa
Actually.. I was asking for a volunteer to test the upcoming 0.72g1a build.Psst.. its basically early access to new version.Not the public version lol. I'll send you a download link in DM, do not distribute it and be responsible as it is not a guaranteed stable build. Report back if its all good or not.
why is graphics lib a dependency? I think graphicslib is responsible for a memory leak in my game but I can't turn it off because it is a dependency for this mod.
Also, I'm willing to give a hand with the programing, or at least help with this linux file naming error if it hasn't been fixed already.

You can disable features of the lib and even the whole of it as I remember:

On an unrelated note, how does the Novaeria-class work? i was experimenting in the sim with it since i just got it (on verson 0.72e1) and i assumed that i had to place everything that is not on the bridge on auto-fire but, the fighters on both bays would not engage, they stay permanently in regroup state.I'm also having this issue in my campaign. Most of the fighters are not engaging.

One of the officers (Yimie) is the captain, since I'd rather fly a smaller craft.
Probably my dumb ass is doing something wrong...
When I have UAF enabled, the only way I can load a saved game is by starting Starsector from scratch and loading the game fresh. Under any other circumstances - for example, if I load a game, play for a bit, exit back to title screen, load a game, and try playing - I get the memory leak error popup. 100% reproducible, every single time. Having to quit to desktop every time I want to load a saved game isn't great.It's a problem with graphiclibs and magic libs I believe. You can recreate the bug with both of them on without UAF
Also very consistently, after playing for a while, saving a game starts getting slow and erratic, to the point that the game executable will freeze during the saving-game process. Random save corruption isn't great either.
This is stuff I have seen within the first year of game time, so it's not like there's a lot of accumulated data to save.
This is with version .72e1. I am using the JRE 8 and have modified my vmparams to use more system RAM (3072 is what I currently have it set to).
I also am using a fair number of other mods but the game runs very smoothly with them but not UAF - with the other mods and not with UAF, I've played for 10-20 years game time with no problems. I could start doing systematic cross-checking - UAF alone, UAF plus Nex, UAF plus Nex and one other, etc - but, I admit it, the thought of doing all that work is a bit discouraging right now.
It's a problem with graphiclibs and magic libs I believe. You can recreate the bug with both of them on without UAF
After asking around a bit: Try upping the RAM allocation to fix the slowdowns, 3 GB isn't much depending on modlist.It's a problem with graphiclibs and magic libs I believe. You can recreate the bug with both of them on without UAF
You're right. I just did. Definitely not UAF's fault, sorry about that.
Any suggestions on how to prevent this? Any specific things to disable?
So my game has started crashing whenever I go into combat with UAF fighters, only starts happening later in the game.

I thought the whole "dev despising balance comments" from the video was just a joke but no there really do be guys out there trying to tell the guy MAKING THE MOD what "fun" actually is like ****ing nerds
Sorry in advance for the long post.
I'd personally recommend you not to bother with trying to reason with balancingRegretfully, this seems to sum up the entire mod.
If you did played the mod though, that'll definitely change my stance for sure.Yes, I have. Fairly extensively at this point; I played just with UAF and vanilla. (I didn't use other mods because most mods are balanced around vanilla, and it's unreasonable to expect authors to balance around specific mod interactions.) When I'm saying things are unfun to play against, or boring to play with, it's not from just looking at the stats on them, it's because I've played with and against them. But, also, most of these ships didn't need playtesting to tell they were overpowered. There is no magic juice in there that makes the UAF having straight-up better everything work fine in concert with other mods and the base game.
The UAF will not try to be or abide to vanilla style and balancing but they will respect it in their own ways and based around them.
Furthermore, don't bother using vanilla weapon as a point for balancing. UAF doesn't use them at all - so its better to just balance everything around ourselves instead....Then what's the point of the faction if it doesn't care about vanilla? This mod only adds one faction and that faction exists alongside vanilla; you either use UAF ships against vanilla/modded ships (boringly easy, it's like shooting fish in a barrel), use vanilla/modded ships against UAF ships (very rough; it's a "challenge" but it's not a fun one), or use UAF ships against UAF ships (still unfun- Semibreves, crazy strong fighters, and crazy powerful capitals mean most fights are very one-sided). UAF does not exist in a vacuum, and unless you add a few opposing factions and make this a total conversion, it will never exist in a vacuum.
I personally know you claimed you didn't try the mod just because it's anime and unbalanced.I was right, though: It definitely is anime, and it definitely is unbalanced. I have played it now, though, so I hope you'll actually listen to my feedback.
It makes me happy when I see people enjoying what I came up with rather than constantly bullying me for being different than the rest.Please don't interpret this as a personal attack on you. You aren't being bullied for being different, you are being told your mod is overpowered. I'm telling you this because you've clearly put a lot of effort into your mod, and it would be a real loss to have all that effort result in something that people don't want to use because it's too powerful to be fun. My opinions, of course, are my own; there are clearly plenty of players who do not care about that sort of thing.

My opinions, of course, are my own; there are clearly plenty of players who do not care about that sort of thing.
I think the balance issue is one of community-wide good practices; there's a tendency for power-creep arms races to spill over into feedback on other mods ('UAF is a powercreep munchkin mod{1}, why isn't your mod a powercreep munchkin mod? Make it like that! All mods should be like that one mod I like!') which is annoying but also pretty easy to filter out once you know that tendency is there.
But I agree that bothering Ryxsen is not the way to go about it. Personally, I took a look at the preview posts and decided 'nah' a long time ago; I'm sure if/when it's finished I'll take another look for curiosity, but the mod doesn't grab me now and doesn't seem like it's headed in a direction I'll like, so... I'm just not using it.
Simple as that. Not everyone has to enjoy or approve of every mod.
{1}Note; I don't actually think UAF is a powercreep munchkin mod, at least not by design. I'm just using it as an example because we're in the UAF thread. Feel free to mentally substitute some other mod if this hurts your feelings.
Disclaimer: I don't know much about balance, and i haven't spent like 2000h on this game to know everything in and out. (Most of my build are either random or self improvise.)
All I care is turning the mod into a VN novel with playable ships and characters and make it fun to play as in their own setting. That's all that matters in my eyes.
So yeah, its clearly overpowered on player's hand whos unrestricted by lore or aesthetics but I don't care about that, everyone have their own playstyle and I'd say let them have fun especially in this wonderful single player game. I find it acceptable that we have our own mixture of ups and downs as well. Balance is merely subjective depending people's point of view, it's obvious we'll never be able to impress anyone and I quite frankly - don't want to bother with it because we're trying to do our own thing.

When you put several other mods the UAF doesn't look like OP at all, I'm playing with it and many other mods ... it's not easy as many here say.
Well they only compare it to vanilla factions, so your opinion won't fly.
Hey so an issue i have is that despite getting both faction reputation and Relation with Nia to max i am unable to request access, when i select the option nothing pops up, any ideas on how to fix this?Hey folks, just wanted to come by and give those wondering about the "Aurora Diplomatic Bureau" lock-out / missing text with UAF Admins that I've seen mentioned a few times.

but then the "Its not your mod, let the guy do what he wants" defense is basically flawless
also the "if its such a big deal, do it yourself" defense is worth mentionning
but all gets trumped by the "I don't wanna" arguement
guy's literally making a passion project out here on HIS OWN TIME, WITH HIS OWN SKILLS and here all of you are pretending someone died and made you king....
I mean, I sort of get your point, but Dragn and everyone else are trying to provide constructive criticism, aka feedback. I'd say it's settled now, in that Dragn gave their feedback (in good faith) and Cy has turned it down - which is perfectly fine too.
Just bug report, specific to Linux:
The case is matter -- if you refer to file as foo.bar, then it must be foo.bar and not foo.BAR
Heck, just enclose it in the experimental blueprint package, or even the supercapital one if you think they're a little overtuned, because as it stands, if you lose a ship containing the Hyper Aria's it's basically lost for the rest of the run (I don't even think it has a salvage % chance alongside other strikecraft does it?)
suggestion: if you wanna add peticularly spectacular things for loot how about archeology quests ?
maybe quests involving ships that were thought long gone or who had gone missing (think bermuda's triangle stuff)
maybe even a quest line that happens once you stumble on a chunk of one of the larger ships, and finding all the pieces rewards you with some blueprints...
We have a water planet called Favonius. What if for every 2 months you can pretend you're salvaging in the waters for hidden treasures ( RNG on watcha get ) ? For a small fee of course. We have a canon reason to why there's ship wrecks everywhere after all.
here all of you are pretending someone died and made you king....
So I'll just say, half of y'all are acting like you didn't read BadDragn's posts literally two pages ago
Just a small note that the Isenoria with the Raffelsya bomber is incompatible with realistic combat and causes a fatal null crash.Given how thoroughly Realistic Combat brute-force overwrites many, many established Starsector gameplay mechanics in favor of its own, your issue is something to bring up in that mod's thread, not this one.
The fact is it's just so irrelevant. The balance scheme he referred to just doesn't exist in Starsector. Good ships in SS cheat. Scarab has Temporal Shell. Paragon has advanced targeting core. Onslaught has integrated ballistics, almost always guaranteeing enough room for Heavy Armor. Monitor has Flux Shunt.
SS combat isn't balanced off of raw stats. It's balanced off of weapon behavior and the ability to vent flux. Raw armor values are kinda pointless, because the important part for a capital ship is whether it can shrug off a reaper torpedo or hellbore shell. If it can't, it needs to keep those shields up, which means it's always going to flux out. The raw flux stats you need to get away from this dynamic are extreme.
Raw armor values are kinda pointless, because the important part for a capital ship is whether it can shrug off a reaper torpedo or hellbore shell. If it can't, it needs to keep those shields up, which means it's always going to flux out.This is just plain false in the way implied; if it weren't, shield shunt Onslaught would not be a thing.
The balance scheme he referred to just doesn't exist in Starsector.
As for "always going to flux out": again, misleading at best. When you're a capital that can run multiple large and medium ballistics at flux neutral, it's much, much harder to flux out because you can use your entire, massive, capacity bar to absorb damage, and vent it off that much faster after it does build up, and enemy ships have a much harder time closing enough to use their weapons to begin with. Almost 30k effective shield HP that can be active vented in under 17 seconds (stripped Reisen(M) and Rillaru(SP) both do this) is a hell of a drug. Even if you aren't anywhere close to flux neutral, the difference between fluxing out in 20 seconds of combat instead of 10, or 40 instead of 20, requires no description.
[/spoiler]
But you don't have to read any of that. Instead, here's an extremely simple test.
1v1 autopilot stock Reisen(M) standard variant versus sim Onslaught; the question is not "who wins?" or even "how much hull damage does the Reisen take?" but "knowing only what was said in this thread, does anyone have to think for longer than three seconds to guess who wins?"
(Before you say it: The point is not that 1v1 sim is a realistic matchup or anything of the sort, the point is that regardless of any theorycrafting we might post here, everyone immediately understands what 'better dissipation than Radiant' means for a ship.
The balance scheme he referred to just doesn't exist in Starsector.
I think any ardent believer of the vanilla Starsector ship/fleet design can't not find a satisfying solution in this series of balancing debate, as essentially, UAF introduced a High-Tech faction with long-ranged, flux-efficient ballistic weapons and strong carrier-fighter support. The real issue is never to coerce someone to stick with the HighTech/Midline/LowTech system, but to think whether some design choices can be improved under the new framework introduced by the author.
I personably think you have gone to another extreme by claiming 'SS combat isn't balanced off of raw stats'. For me, at least the speed of the capital ships matters.

And a Reisen vs Onslaught comparison isn't reasonable. Reisen simply excels in all the places the Onslaught doesn't. It's faster, and I mean, it's actually got two large mounts pointed in the same direction! Revolutionary!So, you yourself have noticed that Reisen is an Onslaught with none of its weaknesses. Which is one of the things people normally mean by 'OP', so why is that claim in dispute again?
I've done this (Radiant vs Resisen (M)). The Reisen(M) practically overfluxes itself, and adding a gamma core makes it a cakewalk. This is why I think you're talking nonsense. I'll post a vid later, if I can get the conversion right.I look forward to the explanation of how the vs. Radiant matchup – one I specifically did not cite – shows that anything I said (as opposed to being presumed to have said) is nonsense, unlike, say, the more pedestrian observation that Sabots and Reapers* are good actually.
Are there specific requirements for starting the Twisted Daggers missions? I swear I’ve googled everything I could, but I can’t seem to find any info.Go to the Lunamun bar while being Cooperative with UAF, that should be it

Sorry for the trouble, but is there a written guide or overview of this mod I can find? I'd love to learn more about it and see what is available in game, like quests and how to aquire the super ships if its even possible!

Lunamun, Aoi -> Take shuttle to the bars -> "A woman can be seen grieving alone at the far corner". I don't remember if you need rep with UAF however I didn't notice having the option till I was cooperative.Sorry for the trouble, but is there a written guide or overview of this mod I can find?

*as part of a balanced ship fit
But now that you brought it up, I decided to try the matchups myself (Standard Reisen(M) versus the three vanilla Radiant variants, all unofficered)
- Standard Radiant wins with little?/no hull damage received
- Assault Radiant wins with 45-60% hull remaining
- Strike Radiant loses with little/no hull damage inflicted. An illustration of the limitations of relying on Sabots for all your hard flux, although an AI core's fearless personality might change how well this goes
A decent showing against one of the strongest vanilla ships, I'd say. I could try different variations (with comparable officers etc.) later, but I'm not sure there's a point if all it's going to be used for is to argue what should be completely uncontroversial points.[close]
you should make the Minibreves from the Taufan(NFX) into a medium missile launcher.
Well, that's ominous. :-\you should make the Minibreves from the Taufan(NFX) into a medium missile launcher.
Becareful of what you wish for.
You could increase the Onslaught's flux stats by double, and it wouldn't change much. It would still ride at that last 10% of flux cap just like the Reisen does.If this were actually true, it would have shocking implications for the ship fitting meta and balance in general. Flux == sustained firepower and effective HP and its recovery, claiming flux stats don't matter is claiming those things don't matter.
Balance in Starsector is a really strange beast. It would be nice if it wasn't, but one thing I can say for certain is that flux stats have very little effect on low-tech ships.

Keep crashing to Desktop with this error, any ideas?
I have a bug report, or perhaps just something that's become a bit of a major issue for me.
Keep crashing to Desktop with this error, any ideas?
Delete your UAF folder completely and replace it from the zipped archive. or go to hullmod_data.csv and delete assaultpack or the other line that was in it.
I don't understand much about code, but my guess is these lines might have been deleted in the new version but it keeps being called for regardless, causing the crash. Hope this helps you!
Anyway, I love the mod and I love the super-capitals, but it starts getting a little frustrating when I start losing more ships to my super-capitals than I do enemy fleets. Just wondering if this is a known issue?
EDIT: Just occurred to me that a literal interpretation of 'double' the flux stats would also affect capacity. Now that would be extra fun to try.SpoilerYou could increase the Onslaught's flux stats by double, and it wouldn't change much.

If flux has "very little effect" on low-tech ships, to the point that doubling Onslaught's flux wouldn't 'change much', why is it standard practice to max vents even on LT ships? Doubling an Onslaught's base flux = 600 dissipation; meanwhile we're spending 50 OP for 5/6 of that benefit; if nothing else, we'd now have 50 free OP to spend elsewhere.
Onslaught with double base dissipation (about 50% more dissipation after maxing vents) would 'still' be riding at near max-flux but it'd be firing 50% more non-missile weapons while doing so!
I did a sanity check:SpoilerBasic 1v1 sim test
Onslaught (Standard variant) mirror match, player Onslaught wins with 14%/47% hull left.
Versus an 'Onslaught Alter' with the same loadout but doubled base dissipation, alter version wins with 50%/76% hull. Onslaught Alter won even in the test where I botched the setup and gave non-Alter Onslaught ITU instead of DTC.
I won't even describe the outcome of the otherwise-mirror match where I removed all the vents from the player Onslaught.
Okay Histi, but I tried the Onslaught mirror match myself and it's painful to watch how skittish they are. They're barely using their dissipation. What about a matchup where the enemies don't just dance around each other?
Same test, except player-side Onslaught has an Eliminate order.
-Player Onslaught wins mirror match with 25%/10% hull remaining
-Player Onslaught loses vs. Onslaught Alter, with 57%/58% hull remaining
(While we're here let's do the same test real quick, with player ship being the Reisen(M)):
- Reisen(M) vs. Onslaught: wins with 98% hull
- Reisen(M) vs. Onslaught Alter: wins with 34% hull
Still too skittish! Let's try the Onslaught 'kiss' test
Manually piloting player Onslaught into other Onslaught/Alter's face, Annihilators on autofire:
- Versus Onslaught: Tried once, won with 94% hull
- Versus Onslaught Alter: Tried six times, failed each time (including the three where I was smart enough to not overload)
(manually firing the Annihilators, in attempts not counted above, just made things worse)
It turns out having a 50% faster combat vent is incredible, who knew
Honestly, I'm going to file the whole idea of flux not mattering under "surprising ideas are often false"
Multi-ship test
Also tried a different test: Using The Last Hurrah main menu mission, send the Eagle and two Falcons (all with Eliminate order) against Onslaught.
This one is quite unsatisfying because it depends on luck with positioning and the Falcon's Harpoons, but here it is for completeness
- Onslaught wins with 32% hull (woah)
- Onslaught loses, one Falcon dead, one Falcon at ~0% hull, Eagle at 85% hull
- Onslaught Alter loses, both Falcons dead, Eagle at 27% hull
- Onslaught Alter wins with 7% hull[close][close]
You can try an Onslaught with doubled flux stats. It's called a Reisen(M). It only produces 5 dp better performance in the sim, and minor tweaks to combat behavior eliminate that."Can kill in a standoff engagement with little or no hull damage" is not what I normally categorize as the value of a 1/8th DP increase.
Your principles are blatantly false, primarily because shields and weapons consume so much flux that increases in raw stats don't result in better performance compared to management. Only speed and weapon composition produce significant changes.
Heck, just enclose it in the experimental blueprint package, or even the supercapital one if you think they're a little overtuned, because as it stands, if you lose a ship containing the Hyper Aria's it's basically lost for the rest of the run (I don't even think it has a salvage % chance alongside other strikecraft does it?)
I mean.. that's pretty much a mistake on your end really. I also lost my hyper arias from time to time if I wasnt careful or not remembering what ship have it. They're suppose to be one-of-a-kind and can't be duplicated. Just like the supercaps.
It is a good idea though for when you just wanna have fun. Maybe I'll include it in the super capital blueprint and rebrand it so that we can always have that choice of consoling them in for giggles. I'd do it if you guys can tell me how to restrict the bp drop completely so that you can't obtain it through legal means.
Ok, so i seem to be stuck a bit on the progression and none of the NPCs are giving me any leads.SpoilerI'm at 100 rep, commissioned, 49 rep with the vemillion station admin (capped), 74 with each fo the npcs she sends me to (also capped) and nobody is saying how to progress further.[close]
Howdy! Is there a changelog anywhere for this mod?
