Bug Reports & Support (modded) / Failed Calling Method - getSector().playerFleet must not be null
« on: October 02, 2023, 04:05:38 PM »
Similar to the strange failed calling methods of the past, but with a different cause-message as far as I can find. This is using 0.96a-RC10.
The error states that the play fleet is null.

Some information about what happened in game:
I was commissioned by the Arkgneisis faction. I had created a space station colony in Tia where they also had a station. At some point. The faction was destroyed, and my commission ended. Arkgneisis eventually came back, with a station in the same Tia system. I had added pets to two of the fleet ships at some point.

Don't sweat it. Hope it's not too serious.
With the information that it's the overcloak system, I've changed it to maneuverjets and haven't gotten the error again.

I was playing a simulation piloting the Alex and fighting against the Pegasus. An Illegal Argument Exception took place. I think one of the enemy gundam fighter squadrons, either the guntanks or the guntank with legs activated its ship system and it ran into overload (or maybe past it? I've never heard the warning sound that fast before).

General Discussion / Re: Best low fuel bounty hunting fleet
« on: November 06, 2021, 03:59:51 PM »
One other thing you can do if you want to do 2-3 bounties per run is to increase the max number of available bounties the game can have at one time. I usually increase it to 20, sometimes 30+ if I don't feel like traveling back from the fringes. Bounties have a habit of clustering with one another in star clusters. Making less travel, but also heightening the danger sometimes.
The file you need to change to up the number of bounties is in <Starsector install folder>\starsector-core\data\config\settings.json
In settings.json find the line that says
"maxPersonBounties":5,
That '5' at the end is the one that you need to change.
------------------------------
Alternatively, you can get the skill that increases the amount of fuel you salvage and add another tanker.
On the topic of your fleet composition, I never really found that much use for the onslaught. Most of my damage comes from cruisers and destroyers. Monitors can plug the hole of line holders.

General Discussion / Re: The best fighters against stations
« on: September 09, 2021, 07:30:29 PM »
I don't bring fighters I use for fleet combat for station killing. It's just a big waste of supplies and crew for little gain. With ships you can tell them to form up on your flag ship and kinda control which side of the station they're shooting at. Fighters and bombers just dive right in and get slaughtered. That station range bonus just cuts down so much.
But in mods that have fighter frigates though, I fin that those do better.

A quick way of finding out the most relevant specs is to hit the [windows key + r] and the type in
dxdiag
If it is your first time typing it in it will take a little bit to configure itself, but the information like memory, processor, OS (and in one case pagefile) should be there.

« on: March 21, 2020, 11:12:46 PM »
To clarify, raising it above 29 won't cause the game to crash, but the officers will still level up after the skills bar is full, and you will never spend those upgrade points.

« on: December 21, 2019, 10:14:54 PM »
Go windowed mode instead of full screen if you can.
The lower the resolution the more FPS you can get.
Turning off sound gives a tangible amount of frames.
In previous versions upping the memory available for the java program was a possibility, although I think this is helps more for loads of mod/memory usage instead of faster performance.

General Discussion / Re: Is there a way to turn off weapon maximum distances?
« on: October 27, 2019, 11:39:05 AM »
I don't think it is possible to turn of weapon ranges entirely, but it is very easy to give every weapon in the game more range than the map size. You may have to contend with a bit more lag since the firing calculations for every ship would be up the wazoo, and ship behaviour may be erratic as well.
Nevertheless, the change is quick and easy.
Here it is:
The vanilla weapon data is held in a single file; weapons.csv.
A csv file is a comma seperated file that can be opened with (recommended) spreadsheet software, or even (not recommended) a simple text editor.
I am on mobile but the file ahould be found in starsector/starsector core/data/weapons/weapons.csv.
Make a copy of this file before working with it.
In this file there will be a column named range. Simply add a few zeroes to the end of the numbers in that column to give weapons a practically infinite range.
Do keep in mind for projectile weapons, the speed of the projectile is seperate. Meaning that (nearly) instantaneous weapons like beams will be dominant if you make this change. And ballistic or projectile weapons will take a back seat if you don't change the projectile speed (also found in the same file near the far right side).
Keep in mind that you may also have to change the projectile life time for missiles if you don't want them running out of fuel halfway. The range for missiles only determines how far the ai will shoot it from. Not whether it would reach the targeted ship.
Edit: Mobile spelling.
+ backup addition.
Edit 2:
On second thought, maybe haphazardly increasing the range on weapons isn't a good idea. The game has to keep track of projectiles, and if projectiles last forever off screen, the memory overhead is going to be immense. I'd recommender maybe increasing ranges to the 8000-1000 range instead of any magnitutdes bigger than that. It won't reach from end to end of the map. But it will reach up to the middle.
Anyways. Give these values a test and increase if you want.
