Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
Thanks all! Hopefully I'll be able to figure something out soon.
@bolamorph: Yours is the first mod list I've received list that hasn't been huge, so it helps me narrow it down quite a bit
@Nick XR: Yeah, I'll look for pretty much everything that's called after battle. The transience is the most distinguishing aspect of this issue imo, so that's been one of the key criteria I use to decide whether or not it's the same thing. I took a look at someone's heap dumps before and after the slowdown started occurring, and noticed that memory was bloated with almost five times as many instances of FleetMember and FleetData, which is strange because I would suspect that those things would persist through a save/load.
To summarize from the threads already mentioned (one was started by yours truly some months ago), there's certain properties of phase ships that have to be addressed:if the devs added the IBB bounty mod to the main code this could be done without it being out of place.
1.) Phase effectiveness is an inverse of ship size, i.e. smaller ships benefit more from it than larger ship
1b.)The ship system, therefore, is crucial to the effectiveness of a large phase ship
2.) Phase ships being considered "one class size up" makes a capital Phase ship something of a super-capital
2b.) This would make such a ship inherently "the best" in terms of single-most powerful vessel
None of these issues are insurmountable, mind you, but it took the Doom having a ridiculous ship system to move it way from mediocre. Now, the Doom is an S-class contender for best player ship in Vanilla. However, no matter how you slice it, a Phase Capital playing by the same rules as all the other Phase Ships isn't going to be able to exploit Phase for mobility and defense like its smaller brethren. The Doom is hardly nimble and a Capital would be even less so. Thus, a Phase Capital would need some additional help with defense, otherwise it would be vastly more vulnerable than any other Capital. Either the ship system would have to be defensive/evasive in nature, it would be a true glass cannon, or it just wouldn't operate like other Phase Ships (i.e. has a shield).
Or, more realistically, I imagine it will be a "special" ship, perhaps one-of-a-kind or at least extremely rare (like the Legion XIV). This alleviates trying to balance it against production-level Capitals and puts a bit of mystique to the thing.
I had a similar thing happen to me the other day; I took out two giant pirate fleets in back-to-back battles, and my FPS fell off a cliff when the debris fields spawned. It persisted into hyperspace even flying for 3 weeks across the sector. Saving and reloading and restarting the game all failed to help. Not sure if that was the same issue, but my mods list is below.yes ill fetch that fileSpoiler{"enabledMods": [

Also, I don't recall 100%, but I think at the time I had Second Wave turned on.[close]
Hey,
I definitley plan to revamp the graphics(including a massive downscale in size), I just wanted to get things running smoothly for now. I maybe have to test that some more, but I have seen AI use the weapons on several occasions(especially a star fortress utilizing Battlestar Artillery and totally wrecking my support ships in the proccess xD) but it's all in a rough state right now so it could have several causes. What I observed was that the AI doesn't seem to use the max range of most bsg weapons, I'll fix that when I get to balance weapons and ships.
I think you should be able to find blueprints, I found some on my savegame(namely some KEWs, Vipers and I think an Erebus) so they should appear.
Hello,
I just uploaded a small update, changelog in the op or on the github page!
The most important part, thanks to @ebolamorph, should be that the Cylons and Colonies now produce Fuel!
I'm thinking about doing some balance changes next update, probably including a reduction in hard points and changes to fire angles so the AI has an easier time firing the guns. Not sure what works well etc., needs testing when changes have been done.
