I will always love my Apogee, no matter what Alex does to it. i will always find a way
Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Simulator Enhancements (03/13/24)
Watching my tempests getting swarmed by them was horrifying.And my suggestion for transponder re-activation: this really needs to go into the 'jump into system' dialog; you don't need to change the current options, just add a third one for "jump into system and turn transponder on" - and color it red; that way even if the player is just clicking through those, simply seeing that red line will serve as an immediate reminder.
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.
I also think that Talons are a bit OP, probably better than some more expensive alternatives. Their swarming behavior makes it impossible for frigates to defend against them.
Why the flares for the apogee? It has 360 degree shields so its not like a missile will sneak up its tailpipe, wouldn't a different system make more sense? Doesn't have to be something like sensor drones(though I'd love you if it was). Just something that effects it's engines or shields or something.
Its shield is Frontal, so there is a point to the flares if you're caught with your shields down. Plus even if it were Omni you don't always want to eat a torpedo to your shields. And overall the Apogee was too good (still a bit too good I'd argue), it needed a nerf.
Speaking of drones, the Prometheus still uses PD drones for its system.
way to crush hopes and dreams, if anything, I might just give it back the range boost it once had, but I want one Regardless.The REDACTED are gonna own you if it is your largest shipI know, and it hurts, but I can make some decent cash exploring and killing Redacted with one, and no matter what alex does, the Apogee will always be my baby.Is it still as rare as a virgin hooker? Cause I need one so I can USS Enterprise the **** out of the sector.Also, can I only find them at TriTach military stations?I've seen them but they aren't as good as before

No one uses bigger ships here, huh? I've been getting hails of rockets and torpedos thrown at me a lot. It's usually when I lose concentration and my Onslaught gets too much flux.
It was OP as all hell, especially with the out of combat boosts and the range boosting dronesDoes the Apogee have built in High resolution sensors/ Give a boost to a fleets sensor strength?Yes. Also, it has the "Surveying Equipment" hullmod.What about the sensor drones/boost in weapon range?
It has no drones anymore, it has double active flare launchers now.Is It still viable as a flagship?
Sure, but I guess it is best for an exploration focused play stile now. As it should be.
But it's not as good of a combat flagship anymore, damn, that was my baby...
