Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
If I could humbly make a request, could you take advantage of the fact that you are already working on the colonies and think about reworking the invasion missions?
Just colony mods, this is the only ship/weapon mod i'm currently using. Its late game and my colonys are making tons of cash so i can afford to order new capital ships just to fight REDACTED fleets. I'm guessing its the jump in AI officers from medium threat systems to high because even my exploration cruiser fleet was handling medium fleets just fine. The biggest problem is my torpedoes are absolutely useless and won't get through--like missile and fighter weapons just aren't an option which is kinda nuts.
I remember having to swap out to a heavy kinetic build back in the day to deal with radiants just to keep pressure on them but my 50DP, 3 S-mod, lv7 officer paragon was getting bullied by that 25DP cruiser which was just blowing my mind.
Make the capstone combat skills not available to officers. Only the player and the enemy commander can use them. This would mean systems expertise needs a buff, but missile specialization could remain the same because it already feels really good as a capstone.
This is almost certainly the result of a saved mission variant from 0.9.1 or earlier. Open up your saves folder, find the 'missions' folder under that, and delete it.
