Nice.
Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Planet Search Overhaul (07/13/24)
I haven't needed to do the tutorial. Does it only force you the once when you start the campaign for the very first time on an install or something?Maybe first time on an install... but I've played the game a lot, so that doesn't really work out.
I hardly think the EU will be "barraged by exit referedums". Not with the major hit to their economy the UK is curently taking (250b€ to save the banks from their troubles with the stock market this morning? Really? Two months after cutting disability pensions for 4.5b€ because UK "couldn't afford it") Or with Scotland reconsidering it's independence referendum. Unless they recover fast, I don't see anyone following in their footsteps. Also, you can expect the EU to negociate their exit in really harsh terms, both to get a positive economic balance out of this and also discourage other countries from leaving.
Also in France the Anti-EU parties did 13% last elections, so it is nothing comparable to what hapened in the UK.
What I do expect however is that people might take a closer look to the european elections in general and maybe even push toward changing a bit how it currently work.
I don't know, I am super disconnected from what happens nowadays but with about five hundred or more hours in the game over the past three years, I was super surprised to be as frustrated as I was. I'm just bewildered facing six frigate pirate fleets and being incapable of finding anything smaller to sink the proverbial fangs into.
I didn't have problems with gaining credits after a fight though... and any advice would be supremely welcome!
Do you know that you can join fights in progress now? In the first few fights of the game, until you unlock RFC or can afford a Wolf or whatever it takes to get over your personal difficulty cliff in the early game, it's worth sacrificing some of the bounty to join a battle between other factions. Trail along with a decent sized Hegemony fleet that's heading towards Barad, and help it fight a couple of battles that you couldn't handle by yourself. Help some poor Independent merchant fleet that's getting jumped by those same pirate fleets that A single Centurion or Lasher can easily get outflanked, but if you have a half dozen expendable Hegemony mooks or Independent merchant ships to tank for you, you should be able to win those first few battles.
If you're getting unavoidably chased down, you know you can Emergency Burn away and get that same speed boost the enemies are using right? As of this version I believe they can't "cheat" and use Burn infinitely anymore so you can generally get away from fights you can't win. It sounds like there's an element of bad luck here too, my game isn't lacking for Pirate Scouts which are one or two frigates.
