General Discussion / Re: Starting scenario bonuses

« on: August 24, 2019, 04:53:17 PM »

Exactly, I am a returning player though, and what I most enjoy is that struggle to the top, selling a few things here and there, saving for my first ships etc.

I don't really want to start with a disadvantage or an advantage.

But you asked how to start with a disadvantage. Stipends are part of every starting scenario except the spacer start. It's just part of the game now, but so is having a monthly payment for crew, officers, and storage.

I'm not aware of any starting scenario breakdowns, but the game does a precise job of listing the effects of the options you choose.

You could use console commands to neutralize your relations with the hegemony. Pretty sure that would be:
setrelation hegemony 0

I never asked for a disadvantage, only a neutral start.

Also the breakdown for the options I start with only gives vague information, i.e 'You are a bounty hunter flying a Wolf class frigate.' and some extra information regarding the ship type.

I suppose now with the new fees and costs, the stipend does help balance things out a little bit, and help get the ball rolling in terms of progress.

There is spacer start (which you need to unlock in config file). It gives you a crappy weapon-slot-less shuttle and negative income each month (-1000* level).

I don't really want to start with a disadvantage or an advantage.

I really would just like the start from the older version, where I had no income, a wolf and neutral alignment with all factions.
This was a nice balanced start, and let me kind of make it on my own, without being either cripplingly handicapped, or lavished with free credits.

General Discussion / Starting scenario bonuses

« on: August 20, 2019, 12:01:12 AM »

Hi guys, returning player here, have no played Starsector for over 3 years, and am so far really liking all the juicy updates.

I have a question regarding the scenarios given at the start of the game.
My first start I chose the Wolf, and began with missions given by the Hegemony, which were fun, but I was looking for more of a bare-bones, open ended start like the old version I played.

I tried an alternate start but found I waa given a $15k monthly income and another $18k by the Hegemony.

Is there a breakdown of each starting scenario and what bonuses are given with each option?
I remember the older vesion when I started with just a Wolf and $4k, and had to make it on my own.

This ship is the worst.

#1 - This ship is one of the best ships in the game according to many people.

#2, more importantly - you just rezzed a 3-year old thread.

I stupidly realised that after refitting it had not saved thr flux vents and capacitors I had added.. so I was playing with none of either and getting owned.

I now see that it's a powerful and fun ship to use.

You guys must play on Easy, because I tried the Enforcer with the HVD/Mauler setup and it's utterly useless.

Cannot solo with Enforcer, Medusa eats this thing for breakfast.

I am trying to add a Plasma Cannon, but addweapon is not working for me, it worked when I added a weapon already in my inventory.

I assume the weapon ID is just the name of the weapon? it seems to not like spaces in the weapon name..

It says 'add 1 of weapon null to player inventory' but when I check there is nothing there.

General Discussion / Plasma Cannon

So I am level 52 now, and still cannot find a Plasma Cannon anywhere for my Apogee.

Tri-Tach military doesn't seem to ever stock it, anyone know where to find it?

I used to make Leadership 10 and 'Making Do' a priority as it allowed me to field a larger fleet, or a large supply cost capital much earlier in the game, I agree that now it seems like more of a low priority late game stat.

Damn, that sucks, losing crew is not that much of an issue really, I don't feel as though it is worth getting 10 in Leadership as it was previously as 50% less crew was a huge money saver, and would mean not having to carry so many supplies.

On a side note, are you able to remove points with the Console Commands mod? I would like to be able to reassign my points from Leadership into Combat now.

General Discussion / Crew and supply use

« on: January 20, 2016, 06:46:44 PM »

Has the way the number of crew in your fleet and their supply use changed?

I acquired 'Making Do' which reduced the amount of crew required to half, which I remember used to mean that the supplies required were also halved.
Strangely now my fleet uses the same amount of supplies whether or not I have the minimum required crew or the maximum possible crew.

Kind of feels like a waste of those extra 5 points now..

General Discussion / Courageous (crazy?) Small enemy groups

« on: January 20, 2016, 02:23:03 AM »

So I am not sure quite how the mechanics work in terms of how an enemy fleet decides to attack, but when I am cruising around with my Paragon, Buffalo and small Tanker, I end up being attacked by much lesser tiny fleets,  usually Pirates, sometimes consisting of only 3 frigates.

It seems as though they view me as only a single combat ship, but don't seem to mind that I am a fully loaded Capital ship that ends up destroying them before my shield is even fully raised.

It's not a huge deal, it makes them seem a bit crazy, which kind of works from a role playing point of view, but it can be a little bit annoying when travelling long distances..

Love the update by the way!
