Bug Reports & Support / Variants exceeding OP limits
« on: April 30, 2012, 11:31:27 AM »You can place a weapon with 999 OP back on a ship with 1-2 OP, provided the ship has the weapon in its stock build.
It's not a real bug as variants should not exceed OP limits, but if they do, just loading them with the proper weapons in inventory you can play with over-OP ships.
Just wanted to report this.

Modding / Script question: Mass spawn
« on: April 20, 2012, 12:06:10 PM »
I know that it's possible to set a Spawn to reiterate itself at the beginning of the game (or when the spawn is actually created) with the
for (int i = 0; i < 1; i++) LALALAspawn.spawnFleet();
formula, but is it possible to do the same process during the game (without having to create a new spawn every set time ^^)?

Bug Reports & Support / Leaving the windowed space with the cursor. (Bug-Suggestion)
« on: April 15, 2012, 04:22:35 PM »
Not really a Bug, more like a Bug-Suggestion. If you move the cursor away from the game window (if you play in windowed mode) the camera in-game keeps on moving in that direction (letting you watch a lot farther away then usual). It could be set that when the cursor abandon the window, the camera centers itself on the commanded ship (when i go click something in my other monitor I usually find the camera focused a lot screens away from the ship position).

Modding / Couple of questions about modding ships.
« on: April 01, 2012, 08:35:18 AM »
1) Is it possible to set a ship not-boardable?
2) Is it possible to add ships to the initial pool (the 4 possible ships that you get at the very beginning)?

Mods / The Scourge v.4
« on: March 30, 2012, 10:11:08 AM »
Download Demo 4.0 (two missions): http://www.mediafire.com/?1bd1dtgdz2dmwya
Adds a mission to showcase 5 new biological ships with 6 new biological weapons (with zerg sounds provided by WarStalker).
Changelog for V.3: Added the Putrifier as a head on charger ship (it sprays acid, low per-shot HE dmg and some EMP, try to have shields to defend from its attacks), changed all weapons and ship stats multiple times so they now are "vanilla balanced" (every ship get its ass kicked by any higher FP cost ships 1v1), added a second mission to try the Scourge against a fighter-based TT fleet and heavily rebalanced the first mission (it may be even harder to beat, but that's the point).
Changelog for V.4: Added the Impaler as Sniper Destroyer (very high damage but slowest ship ever), changed every weapon and ship stats again and again (yeah masochistical), tweaked colors and overall graphics.
CHALLENGE: Anyone that posts a winning screenshot of any Scourge mission (v.4) have a say on a future Scourge ship (role AND hull used). Have fun!
The Scourge is now integrant part of Uomoz's Corvus

Requires Latest LazyLib Utility Mod Active to run. Download LazyLib here.
Requires Latest ShaderLib Utility Mod Active to run. Download ShaderLib here.

Requires Modified vmparams file to load any game.
Open your Stasector directory, edit the vmparams file notepad, inside it replace -Xms512m -Xmx512m with -Xms512m -Xmx1024m.
For Mac users, the file to change is Contents/MacOS/starsector_mac.sh.
Also helps to put jre 64bit in the main Starsector folder, instead of the vanilla 32bit version if you have a 64bit OS http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp.

Collection of the best (imho) Mods, in both quality and lore, in a single Mod. All the Factions are perfectly integrated and have relations with each other.
I tried not disrupting the vanilla Starsector feel, enhancing some aspect of it for greater difficulty and achievement feel.
The selection of Mods is based on overall balance, sprite quality and lore quality, compared to vanilla.

Added cool battle graphic effects thanks to Dark Revenant (anamorphic flares, explosions).

Modding / Tredith Mining Fleet
« on: February 24, 2012, 03:58:11 PM »
Putting up a ragged fleet of old and wrecked ships. The underdogs of the galaxy, Tredith Mining Fleet.
Cheap, usually not a big threat for a prepared battlegroup, often spotted in huge mining groups near the asteroid belts of mineral rich systems. Their ships are not much durable but they can put up a fight thanks to their numbers and the versatility of each ship.

Is one of the reason why Minecraft was such a huge success (at least this made me buy it). What do you think? Would this be applicable in Starfarer (Alex?). Discuss!
