Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); In-development patch notes for Starsector 0.98a (2/8/25)
That's actually justified. The Domain's definition of "useful" is different from ours.More to the point... we're post several cataclysmic wars in the sector, at this point.
You misread. I wasn’t testing its value against armor,Ah, right.
I was testing its value against hull once armor is fully stripped. I should try it with a railgun or thumper too though.
Was saying I don’t think polarized armor does anything for hull as it is currently unless the minimum armor is somehow big enough to have that change be a factor.Well yeah, you were using a Hellbore.
On the other hand, 6 DP Tempests sound scary.Still 1 DP more than the TT Brawler, which has more flux, more armor, more hull, more weapon slots, and can be faster in short bursts with Plasma Jets.
Weird random thought: what if entropy amplifier affected damage sources from everything -BUT- the afflictor? What would that game look like?It would reward using the afflictor as a portable curse-caster and not actually engaging even more than is so right now, which is a step in the wrong direction.
Oh, that's a neat name! Didn't know about that one.The main character of a certain popular webnovel gets dubbed that at the end, so Khepri is a bit more widely known on English-speaking forums than you might expect.
Paladin has 500 armor pierce (anyone notice the magical number?), so it doesn't even need any cracking.Alas, the Paladin only has 100 armor pierce. Five beams, not one beam.
The DP cost increase comes from only the "extra" fighter, so e.g. 2x Xyphos means +4 to the DP cost, not +8.Hmm.
Agreed. I'm scanning every Gas Giant and Black Hole and anything else I come across trying to get the abilities.Remember that you can use volatiles to overload sensor arrays for extra bonuses every so often.
Yes, and, even bundled with a bunch of other small logistics buffs, it doesn't ever really get taken.I take it whenever I take an Industrial capstone.
I've never had the clunker ship bar "mission" ever raise suspicion, and it's the best way I've gotten cargo freighters reliably earlygame without paying a ton of money.Strictly speaking, I don't think it raises suspicion, but it has a chance of sending a patrol over to scan you (there's a reason you're getting a cheap cargo ship out of the deal).
do you have to pay for these fuel and supplies like colonies?Less than you do for the same amount of supplies and fuel bought in the core, even before accounting for the supplies, fuel, and time costs of going there and back.
