Starsector 0.98a is out! (03/27/25)
It's a bit annoying to have to navigate into it manually every time i want to change mods, and it doesn't feel like it'd be difficult to implement.Could just make your starsector shortcut open the folder instead of directly launching the game. That's what I did thanks to all of the mods!
It's in the launcher and I have seen the jason thingy before but I don't understand what to do with itDid you properly unpack the mods? IE You used the "unpack here" command?
One of the big ship packs from years back had "Logistics" ships that ate up any CR hits from the rest of the fleet, and they were eventually dropped because they just didn't add anything but incentives for gamey behaviour.SS+ logistic ships! Man I miss those days!
I feel like this would be a good design for itIf everyone is dead set on Solar Shielding being reworked, consider having it use a similar logic to tugs.Given that storm strikes already scale based on the size of your fleet, the simplest option might just be for Solar Shielding ships to not count for strike scaling.
One equipped ship can give some protection to the entire fleet. More ships equals more protection.
Can you send out an email please when the new version comes out, thanks!There is a mailing list sign up for just that on the main website. Just look at the sidebar on the right!
It should show up again, yeah. It doesn't go away until you've completed it.I think there should be a warning then to indicate this. That way someone doesn't miss out at the chance later on
In the next release, it would go away once you've *accepted* it - so, if you failed, you wouldn't get another go at it. I've just changed it so that it doesn't have a time limit, so that there's more flexibility to complete it at your own pace if it turns out to be too tough to crack when you first accept it.
I thought HA got its penalty reduced when not S-Modded a bit and it gets higher when it isIt is going from a 10% penalty now to 0% when not S modded and a whopping 25% when S modded...
I....had no clue i could do that. that might help I admit I decided to try this after moving form Star Valor. not sure why but in Valor i fly very nimbly then i come her and yeah...as stated a spinning top that keeps accidently leaving the battlefield or bouncing off my allies till i blow up. heh...umm if I may were would i go to change that. either i'm blind and missed it in settings or yo change it elsewhere.Yeah, Valor is much more arcade like. Here, you need to worry about momentum and such
oh....Xd that was vaguely explained in game also good to know you can infinitely earn them. Add a lot more playability after the main campaign is done. although....now i just need to learn how to fly and the points will be flowing. yeah i'll admit i am horrible at flying. if anything i'm a like a top spinning around unable to strafe or go wer ei want. either way before i go off topic thank you bowman for the answer. with this this short topic question is answered.Have you tried inverting the turn to cursor controls in the options menu? That might help you better control your ship
Does anyone know how to cleanly uninstall Starsector? when I uninstall it, and when I go to reinstall it, it never asks me again for the key again. I need to know how to clear the key so when I return the laptop im barrowing I can cleanly remove itThe key isn't limited and is an offline key, so you don't need to deactivate it to use it on another computer.
I think we can agree Starsector leans more into arcade then sim, hope I am putting that right. Looking for a game where you are more involved in the managment of your fleet and crew. Starcom seems to be similar to what Im talking about but I havent played it. What else?Starcom is even more arcade like than starsector. Your crew is basically another life bar to worry about, especially during events. But getting them is as easy as going back to your home base. No resources needed to refill them.
