General Discussion / 8a ECM/ECCM Package - 50% Reduced ECM Effect?

« on: July 27, 2017, 09:29:32 AM »

NPC fleets are overflowing with ECM now.  Its gotten to the point where I am now surprised to not be at a constant -20% weapon range thanks to this.  So its time to do something about it.  The ECCM Package hull mod had a 50% reduced ECM effect added to it with the 8a patch.  Does anyone know if the reduced ECM effect is fleet wide, or does that only affect the ship that the ECCM package is installed on?

General Discussion / 64-bit Java version 8

« on: April 21, 2017, 11:29:29 AM »

Looking for someone that has experience to answer a few questions relating to this.

After changing the jre files over to 64-bit Java in the Starsector folder, and set the vmparams file to use 4 gigs, I started the game only to run into an error message that says Starsector only supports version 7 of Java.  There is an option, which I located and changed, to allow any version of Java to be used in the settings.json file.  I currently have Java 8 installed, which is the version I migrated over to Starsector. I need Java 8 for a work related application and am not sure I can install Java 7 without overriding 8.  Starsector started fine and I managed to play a bit of the tutorial, but I was wondering if anyone knows if running Starsector on Java 8 is going to cause any problems.  Warning messages exist for a reason, after all.

General Discussion / Station Repair vs Field Repair

Will using station services to repair your ship cost less in supplies, or is it the same as doing field repairs while flying around?
