Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
Try applying the small planet textures fix, under the red text on the main page. If that doesn't work, which operating system are you running?
I've been getting a missing value 1281, I am using the full version 2.2 on version 0.54.1 of Starfarer, I mean Starsector (neither of which the forum recognizes as words). Know what's up?Can't say, can you provide any details about the crash, or the starfarer.log file?
Sadly, wasps are manned now. Used to really like using them. Now they just eat crew (unless you're really really careful about repairing them before the battle ends). >.<
Perhaps a -1 fleet point cost to any fighters housed within the Astral's hangar? E.G. if you have 5 Broadswords and 5 Wasps they'd count as 5 and 3 FP each for a total of 40 FP towards your overall limit and your combat deployment. Maybe some other carriers can have similar cost reductions (like the Odyssey being a -1/4 and a Condor being a -1/3 or something).
Well... maybe if the AI is caught in a weird situation, but all those ships should be able to outrange antimatter blasters. Enforcers and Sunders would be slower than that design, but they might be able to take 4 AM's and will def outrange it. Any time the doom spends phased before firing is wasted flux, and venting would be painful.
Youd have to unphase on an unshielded side, or more than halfway through, but sure!
Any small craft/destroyers would completely murder it, so I'm glad its super effective against the big stuff.
I think that leveling is way to fast
Every progression (well, we only have 2 as of now, level and fleet/ship size) in current version is way too ridiculously fast because right now the game have zero pacing. Every single object being crammed into single system with single method (combat) of item acquisition can do that.
I imagine that in more complete version of the campaign, battles will be smaller early on and less numerous, with ship captures being rarer with lot of non-combat activities for players to sink their time into for overall better pacing.

The Atlantis ghost ships are basically the vessels upon which the algae experiments were performed. The wreckage surrounding them are made up of their previous escorts and those who encountered them in battle... and lost. Then they too became infected.
Bluntly put the "Scourge" is a ravenous infective alien biomass menace. And the "Ghosts" are space zombies, infected by semi-intelligent and highly adaptive algae.
I don't know if you noticed, but the ships were being turned around in circles by the Graviton beams on my Sandstorm. I was thinking of making a ghost-junk mod before, so if you'd like some idea I can give them to you.
First off though, your original post should include the ship bits as part of the 'ghost' forces so that the OP shows all the content properly.
Second if you're interested I'd recommend a few things for the ships to make them more interesting in the way I'd make my own mod if I had the time and patience.
- Make 'Ghost Ships' have phasing as their defense, only they don't have the signature anchors and if possible are more transparent and cost very little to phase. Since they have no actual shields this should be trivial.
- Give abilities based on which ship does what. The engine would have higher movement speed and have burndrive or a derivative. The Atlantis might spawn drones that look like angry space junk. The connector compartment might have EMP emitter. The armor compartment might have a flare launcher or a weak version of point defense drones. etc.
That's what I think anyway, up to you though.
EDIT: The ghost fleets seem to get spawn camped by Pirate fleets and never can get into the system in one piece. Maybe they should spawn from more locations. And more often.
That ship is just a waste of credit, it always overload and the hull&armor isn't that great
Did you just say that the Onslaught has bad hull and armor!?
That armor can tank a Reaper without crumbling. And the ship can beat ANY other ship in a 1v1.
Picked up working on the mod again, preparing it in advent of the latest update for Starfarer.
Currently working on adding the "Demeter". A small support frigate, much like the Persephone.
It will have a single torpedo launcher, unlike the Persephone. It has twin triple turrets like the Persephone. However, on the Demeter they will be located in a position that renders it less useful in head-on assaults. This makes the Demeter more of a "heavy bomber".
