Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Anubis-class Cruiser (12/20/24)
Just something I threw together on a whim. Not sure what I'll use it for, if anything.
Bonus points if you recognize the paint colour scheme.
Ooh oh oh, I know! It's black, yellow and red! Yessss the bonus points are mine >:]
It's just a matter of time; markets make them available over time
Another limitation could be the complexity (high-tech/mid-tech/low-tech) of a blueprint (requiring better factories or otherwise risking the production of degraded ships or complete failure) and/or rarity (fancy experimental stuff) and/or amount (big stuff like onslaughts) of used materials.A big premise of Ivaylo's lore (dunno how much of this part David has changed) is the UACs have enough future-DRM on them to prohibit them from being copied willy-nilly, which is why they're rare and important enough to fight over. (An alternative limiting factor would be access to autofactories).
While it can be made sense of, I think that every other part of computers should have advanced by just as much as DRM has (or, more realistically, far more).
Hacking of DRM would have to still be a thing (even if it is inferior to having an original chip and doesn't grant access to newest stuff), so in that case there should at least be partially-functional copies of rare blueprints (which have degraded variants and/or cost more to produce and/or have failure chances during production).
- The vanilla game with its 5 or so systems and like 10 ships is extremely boring. Why not replace those gray words on the hyperspace map with like gray areas and when you fly there you will discover new systems and ships, mods have great ships and systems just use those
Say, I hate to be that annoying person, but is there a release date more specific than "sometime between today and the heat death of the universe"?
While the additions so far are definitely noteworthy, the one I really care about is the "Saves aren't so ridiculously huge" thing, as I'm playing the game on a glorified toaster.
..what about now? I can't do much about the black lines ( IIRC, not total black )Spoiler[close]
You're welcome!
This is deck I've made so far, it's an old ship of mine that will be remake later after Solvernia-class Dreadnought. Use this as your reference unless you found a better example to help you make a proper flight deck.
Looks badass, i think those are the EVA crew that fixes your disabled weapons.Quote
...and here's my first space... astronaut? space captain? ship crew? gahh, whatever. There are two light sources, they're from the right and above. The shadings somehow doesn't feel right to me, please comment.
Okay, trying different color schemes, which one do you guys think suits the best?Spoiler[close]Spoiler[close]

YOU CAN NEVER BE DONE! YOU WILL BE HERE FOREVER!
*ahem*
Sorry about that. It looks like you could use some AA on the edges (Ledd and Glaz, just smooth out those prickly bits).
Other than that, great work!
*EDIT* Yay I'm a lieutenant now!
okay okay, i know what AA is, but is there an easy way to do it? or do i need to do each pixel individually? :\
cheers though!
On the outside unfortunately yes... the "easiest" way I know of is using the airbrush tool. I color dropper the nearest pixel, the airbrush it in.
If you are using gimp, the inside is doable with the AA function.
MOAR HIGHLIGHTS!!!
Well ive been quite busy as of late :3 here's another ship:
Glaz Class:
EDIT:
Plus, here's my horrible attempt at adding highlights to the Ledd Class (also darkened it a bit)...->
Spoilers are not only good but they are also fun and do a great job of building that ever important hype!
ok guys how do i unpiss off the independent
