I just beat a "domain era survey mothership", but when I killed it and all its allies, the battle didn't end. My ships just sit there around the mothership (which also has no description).

edit: nvm, just took enemy fleet a minute to finish deploying other ships...

That should be fixed in the very-latest hotfix (as of a half hour ago).

@ Thaago:  That's right, and it (fast-paced and high-power) was fun!  FUN!

Skilless Starsector was slow and underpowered... and boring.  I refused to play missions.

All I am getting is speed, endurance, and convenience stuff.  I feel like my character is specializing in one or two tricks among a wide variety of stuff.

And with Unstable Injector making energy unviable for energy-based ships (except maybe for Paragon), ships really feel slow without every skill that boosts speed, and then it feels a bit slow instead of very slow.

MAXHYPE!

And yes, that's the default path 'grandfathered in'.

It would be nice if putting skill points into one of the 4 main categories gave something. It's not very enjoyable getting that sweet level up only to invest it in upgrading a main category skill but get nothing directly out of it.

Doesn't even need to be major. Small things like more command points, better scavanging/post-fight looting results, and the sort. Just something to make it feel like it's not a lost point.

Starsector feels more polished and coherent with 0.8, especially the map is a nice touch. The tutorial is rewarding and not too much of a pain. I usually don't read the dialogue, so well done there Alex.

I'd switch the 'info' and 'lay in course' map options for practicality's sake.

Glad the skills have been toned down a notch. However, if you consider the skill categories to be overhead, Salvage gets the worst of it while Combat is the best. The # of skills could be evened out a tad. Looking at how many +armour and +resist Combat skills there are now, one could be axed in favour of the other tree. But for now I'm gonna play the game some more.

TBH, I'm glad the skill categories don't give bonuses anymore. Puts the game more towards the baseline which was always the most fun. Sure, late-game carnage is fun too, but I'm looking forward to how that'll play with a more somber skill tree. What's important is that every category will have its playstyle and its rewards.

I agree, I've thought the same.

Have to say, I love the update so far. Salvaging is a lot much fun, and man, I got lucky and found a dominator class cruiser in a debris field. Though, it seems sort of odd, that I can outright recover it without any losses with only the first skill in salvaging. I'm certainly not complaining though.

Heya Alex, I bought this game some time ago, and I think I already spent my money's worth in time played, and then some. I have yet to play this update, but even aside the content, I am so happy to see this game is still being developed, as I absolutely love the premise. I'm sure it would not take much for me to have that adventure all over again, and I'm so grateful for the work of FSW!

Also I know I'm late to the party, but to our modders who might read this, you contributed so much to my love of this game, and I very much hope that our so-talented modders will have fun expanding this awesome game even further once again!

Salvaged this in a near core system.

That is all, it's perfect.

Meanwhile I have yet to see a single damn REDACTED fleet in my game. Maybe it is because of the smaller sector?
Edit: Hey Alex, are hull mods supposed to be stupid rare drops from fleets? Out of the hundreds of normal and drone ships I faced, I have gotten like two MOD drops. Fighters are fine though

[Megas]

If "redacted" you mean Remnant, then it could be luck.  I just went to the nearest named bounty a short distance away from the tutorial system, and after killing the bounty, the first Remnant frigate I saw found me.  Later, I found a wreckage pile with more dormant Remnants and some (D) ships I could salvage.

[Midnight Kitsune]

I'm thinking it might be because I set my system to small. I've explored around 20% of my systems and have not seen a single one of these new enemies...

Thank you guys!

Just checked (made a quick "small" game) and they're definitely there.

I should probably turn it up, hmm. salvageHullmodProb in settings.json is set to 0.01 - a 1% chance for a ship to drop any of the (droppable, i.e. not-built-in etc) mods it has. I'd expect that to be more than what you've been seeing, though, but it matches with stuff others have mentioned here, I believe.

Hey Alex, loving the update!  But I've got an issue that I think might be a bug.  Whenever I salvage a Falcon, it's always missing the two middle small energy hardpoints in the middle of the ship.  If I pay to remove all the D mods, it doesn't fix the issue.  And if I exit the interface and re-enter it after fixing the ship, it gives me the option to remove D mods again and pay another hefty 68k which does nothing.  This can be repeated forever with no effect.  And yes, I am running the latest version.  Thanks!

Does it have something like "destroyed/ damaged/ downsized weapon mounts"?

[DaLagga]

Does it have something like "destroyed/ damaged/ downsized weapon mounts"?

No.  It has no D mods at all.  Nor are any listed on the info screen that I can see unless I'm missing something.  Here's a couple of screenshots I took through Steam where you can see the lack of mounts without any D mods listed.  In the first shot you can even see that it lists the total number of small energy mounts as 2 but it should be 4.  In the second shot, you can also see that I can pay to "Restore" the ship even though it isn't damaged.  Finally, in the 3rd shot you can see another Falcon that I bought from a shop (yes, I love Falcons) that does have a couple of D mods and yet those 2 middle mounts are operational.
