Starsector 0.98a is out! (03/27/25)
Do you ever intend to add any questlines or such for Apex? Industrial corporate sabotage a la the missions sound like fun to engage in, in a campaign.A real quest would be neat but I have never been able to work up the motivation to do serious campaign layer modding. The Excession "quest" is barely even that, it's just a bar event, and it would be nice to expand it into something more serious. I also have some plans for a colony crisis in the future (sign the union contract... or else), but I'm not sure if I'll ever get to either of those. Making compelling campaign layer stuff is hard and doesn't really hold my interest.
Perhaps make the plasma rifle unable to turn? It resembles a fixed headpoint, and seems off visually when it turns.It's just large.
Ran into a bug(?) where I can't gain rep with Tri-Tachyon if I hold a commission with the Apex Design Collective. An example would be turning in AI cores. I gain the rep, but as soon as I undock my standing reverts back to -50. resigning my commission allows me to gain rep normally.Nex appears to enforce faction standing limits as if you were a member of the faction while you're commissioned. Apex is set to never exceed -50 standings with Tritach (for what is, hopefully, obvious reasons), so Nex is just enforcing the -50 limit on your personal standings. These limits only exist in Nex configs, since without it faction standings can't change. There isn't really anyway for me to disable that feature short of removing that rep limit entirely, but honestly you probably shouldn't be selling AI cores to the mortal enemy of your commissioned faction in the first place.
Awsome work on the mod so far!
Just had a crash with the newest version. Game crashed as soon i hovered over the network targeter hullmod!
Hey, returning after a while to the game and I am missing the Flamingo from the IV Battlegroup that was replaced in an updated version of this mod. Anyone know how I can re-add this or link me a guide to do so?
Love the look of these sprites! I'm looking to beef up the TT roster after playing Apex. Is there any straightforward way to play this will only the hullmods and not the weapons? I figure probably not - it would involve editing all the variants that reference the new weapons, right? I can only dream...
Edit: perhaps there is some kind of way through adding a special tag to weapon data.csv to prevent these from showing up on variants?
Where are their systems located? My worst fear is adding a faction into the game, and them overlapping/squishing other factions.
Is there a way to disable the meme ship names added by the mod.
Information about "pre-generated system (Zarmazd, black hole southeast of the core, will sell you rare hulls if you're cooperative with independents)" should be put in the mod description, don't you think so?
I wanted to ask, but what's the purpose of having omni slots on a ship with a major penalty to using a specific type of weapon in those slots? It really undermines the ship design.The purpose of the all-universal phase ships isn't to let you fill them all with missiles- it's to try and make a maximally-flexible ship without also making it blatantly overpowered. (The reason why too many missile slots on a ship is overpowered is kind of complex but it's mostly because the alpha-strike damage ends up being a lot higher than the game is balanced for.)
If this mod was a bowl of soup, I would cast aside my metaphorical spoon and drink directly from the bowl like a deranged savage, and then harass the chef for seconds as I am escorted off the premises....noted, lol. Thanks!
