Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
How the heck did beagle change the direction of the wolf while phasing! He phased behind the enemy ship pointing in the direction of its engines. I didn't know this was possibleThe way it works is that you move in the current direction your ship is travelling (NOT the way it's facing), and it places you facing where your cursor is.
I wonder if I can find that planet cracker hidden somewhere.There's one Tri-Tachyon planet that has armories and such deep within mine shafts or whatever it is, and that the deepest ones had some arcane power and whatnot. Perhaps it's hiding in there?
What? I promise I won't do anything! Well, nothing too bad anyway.
My favorite surprise so far - though I don't yet have the rep to take advantage of it - is the discovery of an Independent world with a military market that can sell Conquests.I was also extremely pleased to find an Independent military market, although sadly its in Sindrian Diktat territory, and they decided they don't like me anymore because they're jealous of all the friends I
I know this is kind of rezzing an old blog (and now, a REALLY old blog post, and an overshadowed one considering the latest one), but I just re-watched the video...and oddly enough, it's changed (at least, from what I remember). Did Stian append some gameplay of the in-dev patch to the beginning of it while we were all distracted?
Messy, Also yes. I should probably remove some greebly bits, but where in particular do you think is too messy? In my opinion the front half needs to be less flat, and the back needs to be less messy. What's your opinion?
You already mentioned the places I wanted to point at. Try to make 'em less crowded.
About your ship, it does look better now since you filled the empty spots on the engines. Don't you think she looks kinda flat and messy?
jaggy?
@TheBawkHawk, that's a very interesting one, a mid-tech capital battlecarrier is something i'd like to have. However it feel very flat, the middle section than run all along of the ship beg to be "elevated" to give some volume. A bit of shading and highlighting would do wonders.
Also not very convinced by the twin bottom white parts borrowed from the Paragon, it clash pretty hard with the mid-tech aesthetic. I'm pretty sure Tartiflette's kitbash database have something better to replace them with. Overall, i still like it quite a bit, just need to un-flatten it.
I am tempted to try out a few ship mods to add variety to my "buy all the ships from Tibicena to force Hyperion / Tempest restock" routine, and I am a little bit worried about mods causing problems with save games and future game releases.
If I install a mod and load up a saved game, would the new content take effect immediately? Is there a FAQ on mods?
Thanks
What? A ship is sitting there next to a hostile small ship doing nothing, and nothing happens. But if it's sitting next to a big ship doing nothing, it starts melting like butter after 5 mins. I just can't buy it.Three ways that I can think of to explain this: Electronic Warfare (bigger ships can handle more powerful or numerous EW attacks) Moral boost (as CR IS heavily based around crew and their level) or a combo of the two
Another idea for an ability that just occurred to me:
Blockade. Activate this and your fleet formation spreads out while the circle surrounding it grows. Depending on your fleet size, it can grow enough to cover an entire planet, wormhole terminus or similar objects of strategic importance. Of course you can now engage every fleet that wants to pass through.
Your fleet is unable to move though, and the supply consumption is increased to to the logistic challenge of coordinating over bigger distances.
Since your fleet is dispersed, you get a penalty in the deployment mechanics if it comes to a fight. Maybe some kind of time delay in getting deployment points.
I thought this might add nicely to the blogpost idea of watching for targets along frequently used routes instead of chasing them around.
