Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
I'd love a hullmod that would restrict my ships from blowing their missile loads into fighters and frigates.
I just discovered the missile boat Asura... It's great! 4x darts, 2x Achilles pods, 1 large missile launcher of your choice, expanded missile racks and eccm package.
Ok who made the ships have broken fits on them and some of these ships that were made I swear they last the damn mind when they thought they were a good idea...the start is damn near impossible..you have to have the right spawns and the right ships available on the black market or the broken fits will *** on you..like the Venom X Class....so common and when you see it it goes so fast its impossible to hit...*** the pilots wouldnt be able to control that. I shouldnt have to come here saying that something is crossing the line....testing and common sense is not hard...btw did I mention they are all part of the Kite Club....all of their damn ships are fast Kiting anti flux ships....whats the point in even flying anything else if everyone is part of the kite club?
Venom X's peak time is like 2s, you just have to avoid it for a little before it breaks down.
After visiting a dozen planets, the only place that gives them in my game seems to be Freeport. Then again, I never visited any Hegemony or Diktat worlds, only modded factions and Tri Tachyon.
Speaking of Tachyon, is it possible to tweak their stations to only sell their ships? I get kind of bummed each time I go to one of their station and only 3 out of 10 ships they sell are actually part of their faction.
Well...
In other news, crap sketch of Cetonia redesign
Tend to sneakily draw these at work
obviously the system would need to have major drawbacks, yeah. it can't be something you can just spam whenever (which is actually true for the vast majority of ship systems). but i don't think it necessarily means the frigate needs to be three times as expensive as others, that depends entirely on what the system actually does, how powerful it can be, and what limitations it has -- not to mention the basic stats of the ship itself.
Well I mean if you wanted a frigate that can regen missile ammo I reckon it would need a monster power core, so we're looking at double or triple the usual frigate pricetag for the same level of durability, a cooldown on the ability so you can't just spam torpedoes, a general lack of a supporting weapons, and finally a really high flux spike from using the ability that basically requires you to instantly vent afterwards.
Not to be nitpicky, but is there really a need for a missile-oriented frigate? A Silverfish(-B), Weevil, or Mantis can perform that role without too much trouble. Their peak times aren't even a problem considering most missiles have limited ammo.
I can't do anything about this, you need to wait until SS+ is updated again if you want the new content with SS+. Note that BRDY will still run, it just won't spawn any of the stuff that came in 0.8.2
As for the slots, I'm pretty set on slot type/count for the frigs at this point, and don't want to bloat out the mod with variants either. The exception is if I make BRIA (elite subfaction) skins for certain ships.
I might make a missile-oriented frigate in the future, though.
I kinda like it as well, but doesnt it clash with Templars somewhat?Ah, I forgot, their color probably is similar. Templars are one of the few major mod factions I haven't included in a campaign yet.
Ah, awesome I've kind of been waiting for your update to start a 0.7.2 game. I'll echo the sentiment above and say that your art fits starsector really well, and the faction with their added systems make a fun foil to the Tri-Tachs and the Diktat.
Keep up the great work =)
what are the new features of this mod
