General Discussion / Hostile Activity with friendly Pirate relations

« on: June 02, 2023, 07:30:43 PM »

So how does this work? I'm currently "friendly" with the pirates but I'm getting upticks on hostile activity. Is there a certain friendly relation that I can reach with the pirates to stop that hostile activity from ticking up? Or is it just a perpetual thing that just happens because pirates gonna pirate?

General Discussion / Possible to run out of exploration missions?

« on: May 31, 2023, 10:24:50 AM »

Just a quick question - in my current playthrough I have explored probably 80% of the sector and have done a lot of salvaging of mining stations, research stations, etc. I was curious if at some point exploration missions will stop being generated after all of the planets in the sector have been surveyed or all of the probes salvaged? Is the game generating exploration mission targets with each new exploration mission or will I run out at some point?

Suggestions / Map should center itself on player fleet

« on: May 20, 2023, 07:28:37 PM »

Not sure if there is a particular reason for the map not centering on the player fleet, but it's a small thing that I would appreciate instead of having to manually adjust it every time I open it as I travel around.

Suggestions / "Derelict Survey Ship"-type exploration tags

« on: May 20, 2023, 07:26:58 PM »

Hi, loving the new update 

As you explore the sector and accumulate a bunch of exploration tags around the system indicating the presence of survey/mother ships, I find it difficult to remember which ones I've visited and which ones I haven't yet - would be great if the icon could change somehow to indicate that the survey ship is no longer there.

General Discussion / Pirate playthrough tips?

« on: December 13, 2021, 06:46:08 PM »

Yo yo! Jumped back into the game after this new update and am wanting to try a pirate run and am a bit unsure of what the best way to boost rep would be. Just grinding missions for them? Since you can't really boost rep by trading... unless that's something I'm doing wrong haha. Any advice would be appreciated. Btw this is a totally vanilla no-mod situation.

Bug Reports & Support (modded) / How to disable Iron Mode?

« on: July 02, 2021, 09:05:48 PM »

Yo, playing the game with a bunch of mods and even though I didn't select Iron mode, one of these mods was nice enough to turn it on for me. Anyone know if there's a way to turn it off? Thanks.

Bug Reports & Support / Unable to repay Tri Tachyon Loan

« on: April 11, 2021, 04:02:17 PM »

Hi there,

I'm having an issue with a bar mission that I accepted from a Tri-Tachyon dude. He loaned me some money and I need to repay him with interest within 400 days, which is fine as I have enough to repay him right now, but he won't let me return the money. When I go to the station comm directory and try to talk to him about it, I'm not given any option to repay the money. Not sure if I'm missing something obvious about how to do this?

Thanks!

General Discussion / Exploration missions disappearring

« on: November 21, 2018, 03:51:21 PM »

This is a strange thing I've noticed, mostly with "Analyze X" and Survey missions - they have a tendency to drop off my intel page after traveling to the system they are located in, long before the 90/120 days timer is up. Am I missing something with these or doing something wrong?

Bug Reports & Support (modded) / Save Game Bloat & Corruption

« on: May 15, 2017, 07:07:24 PM »

I experienced my first bug/error a couple of minutes ago. I was just trying to quicksave at the end of a session but the game took a much longer time than usual (this longer-than-usual save time seems to happen every so often for me) until it slowed to a crawl and just ended freezing. When I reopened the game my save file had been corrupted, and like I said I've never had that happen before so I wanted to bring it up here. I am using some mods (SS+, Diable, ORA, Shadowyards, etc) I'm not sure if that matters. Let me know if you'd like a copy of my save file because it's too big to attach here.

I'm wondering if having a lot of objects on screen or in the system causes more strain on the game? I was in Jongala for the first time and there were probably 15 or 20 debris fields carpeting the area around the planet for some reason. Not sure if that's related at all to the crashing... and I'm assuming that there's no real way to pull my data from the save file to transfer to a new game, correct?

Thanks!

Bug Reports & Support / Performance tweaks?

« on: July 19, 2012, 03:07:46 PM »

While Starfarer doesn't have much in the way of graphics options being a 2D Java game, but I'm wondering if there is anything I can tweak in the game files that might help out performance? I'm only getting around 20-30 frames in battles at the moment. Maybe I could turn off engine smoke, or something?

Thanks!

General Discussion / A few noobish questions about .52a.1

« on: May 20, 2012, 07:27:24 PM »

Hey guys, really loving the game immensely, but I'm having some questions about the added features.

1. Fleet points: I thought this capped at 200? But I'm getting "high" accident chances from having 160~... not sure what the method behind the madness is here. Can I increase the Fleet Point cap with bigger/better ships?

2. Are Tankers/Freighters worth it, for increasing their respective reserves? I haven't heard of anyone using them although they seem to have a use now.

Thanks, and apologies if these have already been asked before.

General Discussion / A little help with save file editing

« on: April 23, 2012, 08:10:10 PM »

Hello all, I've really been enjoying this game and all the awesome mods, especially craftomega's Minimash... but with such a large number of ships, I'm finding it hard to procure vessels I want... in particular, the Onslaught, which is strangely not sold by the Hegemony in my game.

So I'm wondering, how would I go about editing my save file to add an Onslaught, or any other ship for that matter, into my existing fleet? If it's possible, of course.

Thanks,

Al
