im having problems downloading from the main link are there any alternative links i can use?
Unfortunately, no. I've heard dropbox can have issues though. I started uploading the last release to Git initially - but the 100 file upload limit is irritating to say the least (there are thousands of files in the mod). I'll see if I can eventually get it all up there and provide a mirror that way. Apologies for the inconvenience! If anyone knows of a site that would work and they have the latest version feel free to link it here (please not anywhere else though
).
Thing is you can just go around begging people for money in a circle that would give more money than really anything else. In my sector I got a lot of allied fleets around to beg money from and with 100 reputation they all give me money. And you can beg and extort money from your faction fleets for around 600k each time. Just doing that for 10 mins gave me over 10 million credits.
Can't do it for a single fleet but if you got like 20 different fleets coming and going in your sector you can just sit around and beg and get more money than whole planets provide.
Ah gotcha thanks for bringing this to my attention. Sounds like I need to put a cap on it or reduce the overall amount you receive. It scales with fleet size iirc so at the high end it probably gives far too much. On the lowest end I remember it only giving a few hundred credits per fleet.
The other thing I'm tossing around is a global counter that makes it more difficult to be successful the more consecutive times you do it over X amount of days. Still from a lore perspective allies would naturally give aid freely so there will have to be a reason: (maybe something like "our coffers are empty! There is nothing left to give for now!" - that sort of thing.)
Either way, it's definitely something I will address in the future. I also have plans for a good - lawful - neutral - chaotic - evil reputation system for the player that will influence a variety of encounters and lock/unlock commissions and things like that. But the work involved in that is immense so it will likely be a while.
Definitely something I think could benefit starsector. Depending on how receptive the modding community is to it, that one might be another required module mod like Fleet Dialogue will be. And this time, I can start building it that way from the start with Fleet Dialogue as valuable experience- instead of having to rework everything a second time. haha
DOH
that was it lol thanks
Ah good! I'm glad that was solved!
