Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
is the kshatriya playable in the game yet or still WIP?Legally distinct kshatriya is in but under name of Rajanya.
[Redacted] - Please at least wait a bit until spoiling it for others. Thanks! /hartley
Sure, I have no issue with that!
Created an account just to say this is my favourite faction mod.Thanks!What's the third transforming ship? I found the other two, but can't find that one.You can find the last one in Outer Terminus, guarding the planet.
Thanks! Do you have any plans to make fighter Wanzers able to be flown on their own, like Arma Armatura?
Then you really need to take some time away from the Discord and it's culture. The Legio are also now basically an "always turn them off" deal, and in the worst case users will need to check your mods for any other stealth balance changes to other mods.Not that I disagree with you but the mods you listed aren’t even in the same realm of op with the things in that script except maybe avatar core. They for sure should have listed it so people know what they’re getting into but if they want to maintain some level of actual challenge with things that invalidate the challenge I don’t see the problem
This is incredibly disappointing and it's an actual, no-nonsense Pandora's Box for modding. Mods, even parts of mods, attempting to alter the balance of each other with completely hidden, unannounced changes is the pathway to effective modding anarchy and ruins the experience for the end user for the sake of you trying to "own" other modders you dislike. While it's a bit silly to call it "unprofessional" (most mod-makers are doing this for fun, not for "professionalism"), it's still incredibly disrespectful to the people who download the mod in good faith.
I get that you want the Legio to be a legitimate "boss faction" and major challenge to the user. But even aside from some of the other issues with them (I'd been meaning to post for a while that I think, especially with the Legio hyperspace sieges no longer really working, they're too similar to just a normal faction and aren't really managing to accomplish their mission, and if anything it's too easy to get overpowered ships from them), this is a terrible way to go about it. Starsector works fairly hard to make sure that everything involved in combat is transparent to the user, and arbitrarily changing that, even for a particular classification of ships, just makes the experience worse for users who may not even be aware that other mods may be considered unbalanced by other modders.
And, more to the point, individual modders will do what they want to do. They will pursue their own goals with their work, and it is up to the user to decide if it's something they want as part of their game and how balanced and enjoyable it is. Trying to "police" the user's experience is an exercise in futility, because they will assemble the experience they want to have. It may be frustrating to see other mods making choices you strongly disagree with, but you simply have to accept that they exist.
This whole thing is also arbitrary. Why aren't the DME Brave Blade or Alauda targeted here? The former is "overpowered" on purpose, balanced currently by the fact that it's exclusive to one start and can't be recovered, and the latter isn't usable but can be consoled in to a fleet the same way a Tesseract can. Why not target anything with Modern Carriers hullmods, which are often considered overpowered? Why not WINGCOM from Arma Armatura, or other AA stuff generally, which does have some balance questions despite how fun it can be? How much of this is trying to address "balance", and how much of this is trying to dunk on specific modders simply because you dislike them as people because of your Discord interactions with them? What's the line, where's the criteria? There's just so many problems with doing things this way.
