Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Anubis-class Cruiser (12/20/24)
The moon Opis, capital and population center of the Askonia polity, is destroyed by a Planet Killer. Andrada blames rebels, rebels blame Andrada, other rebels blame each other, others blame outside agents.
The Hegemony executive council considers Andrada’s actions erratic and ill-judged, issuing a recall order which he ignores, declaring it “weak-willed treason”.
Phillip Andrada starts purges throughout Askonia system, declares himself executor-for-life aka Diktat Executor over new polity formed from the Hegemony intervention fleet.
Most of the Hegemony task force declares for Andrada – Hero of the Battle of Maxios – while a minority remains loyal to Hegemony and a smaller minority joins the Askonian rebels. A chaotic battle breaks out in the Hegemony armada in orbit around Sindria with fighting both in ship corridors and between ships of the Hegemony fleet.
The Astral is only known by Tritachyon, who don't use carriers at all, and the mercenaries.
Carriers are rare in general now, all factions have been changed to have a very low proportion of carriers in their fleet doctrine - everyone else has cut carriers so much that the Hegemony are now the sector's foremost fighter enthusiasts. The Astral is only known by Tritachyon, who don't use carriers at all, and the mercenaries.Thanks. That explains a lot.
So unless I'm missing something the only way to get an Astral is to recover it from a mercenary fleet or to get really lucky with derelicts when exploring.
Or through a dealer, like I got mine on this patch.I wish my contacts can sell me one, even with some markup,
This mod probably got one of most overpowered ships i ever seen. Skadi Carrier can hold 5 cruiser at the same time. Charybdis is like its faster than Destroyers/Frigates with Cruiser Firepower / Attack Carrier firepower its basically super overpowered compared to any other Carriers. Not even talking about these Carriers super fast speed + speedy boi systems + super tanky shields + high flux capacity, super fast venting, shadowyard weapons literally give them big advantage.
I think you should rebalance those Carriers, they are more dangerous than anything shadowyards put it to space
Edit:
what is mughal particle lance and why it does tons of damage to both shield and armor?
Edit 2:
Shadowyards Frigates also problematic you need super frigates to encounter them and that is not that enough aswell
Also why frigates got cruiser level peak time?
Is this intended? Feels like Templar level faction here
The balance scheme he referred to just doesn't exist in Starsector.
