Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
I'd like to try a dedicated missile spammer but it seems like even the modders shy away from making something that vomits a million missiles across the map.
not sure why this post is even still going.
think yer wasting yer time elpresidente, if these people could read they never would have had misunderstood this post so poorly.a) I'm not to blame for other people misreading/reading into or misunderstanding a thread
I am against magical skills with 0 logic behind them.You're blitzing them so fast that the more distant fleet has no time to respond.
No. Let's exaggerated for easy numbers:
If you were using the same mods with the previous version, then the results should be the same, no?
Mod A doubles the effectiveness of ships in combat.
Enemy B receives a 10% boost tweak.
Because of the mod, enemy B is now 20% stronger than before with the same mod activated.
He's right though, if you're going to have views on the game's difficulty you should make it obvious in your very first post, and title that you're using mods to make the game harder or easier.
None of these seem particularly great money for the time invested, especially not the academy stuff.
Academy is actually great because they pay you up front and have no timer on the missions. So you can stop by and get a free nearly 200k for taking their jobs and then leave. I did that and then ran off to fight in a bounty system with my brand new decked out falcon on day 2 ish.
Many of their missions also give 100k+ reward (because you get the payout plus the bribe for whatever they wanted) for a simple scan or using a few marines to conduct a basic raid.
Stuff like that would encourage players to colonize a single system, and build High Commands on every planet to infest his system with patrols that would intercept some of those fleets, and player can then pick off stragglers with support from Star Fortress. Well, players tend to do this already. If core is so angry that they want him dead and willing to set aside all differences for classic "Gang Up on the Human" trope, then player can prepare and exploit that before triggering that event, perhaps combining that with abusing overpowered combat features (like Doom cheese).
Or, player can pick off non-quest planets one-by-one (either sat bomb or excessive raiding) before his triggers any quests that would anger all of the core worlds.
If core worlds wants to kill off the player, then player can find a way to be Rambo and give them a war they cannot win.
Just to check up, you're claiming that the most realistic reaction of:
the Hegemony, (who hates TT and the Diktat, and has stressful-at-best ties with the Persean League)
the Luddic Church (who hates TT and, well, technology in general)
the Persean League (who exists solely because they hate the Hegemony more than they hate themselves)
the Tri-Tachyon (who hates the Hegemony
and the Sindrian Diktat (who hates the Hegemony and foreigners in general)
Will all huddle together, set aside their centuries of differences while singing kumbaya, and collectively unite into a five-nation army... because you have a hat trick.
Yeah no. While the prototype Janus device is a useful device, it's not by itself a mechanism whose mere possession would warrant blatant declarations of war (except perhaps from the Sindrian Diktat, given their perspective on the Ziggurat), let alone a military union of nations to form against an otherwise mostly law-abiding citizen of the Persean Sector. That's not realistic, and it's just not how politics works.
