Hello Starsector friends! I put together a guide video going over how to upgrade to Java 8, increase ram allocation, and increase the Battlesize setting for a bigger and smoother Starsector experience!

The Java 8 version featured is update v271, which I believe is the most stable and easiest version to get working. If you'd like a written guide, Wisp, our local Starsector tech wizard, has an excellent guide here on the forum: https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=25974.0
-After switching to java 8, if you are having issues with the launcher / resolution / screen ***: Right-click Starsector.exe -> properties -> compatibility -> change high DPI settings -> tick checkbox for "Override...Scaling performed by Application".
Hope you enjoy!
