Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Simulator Enhancements (03/13/24)
While we're on the subject of polishing... Prometheus still uses a drone system instead of drone wings like every other ship that previously used drones.Also given Expanded Magazines has nothing to do with Ballistics anymore maybe it should have a different icon and be called Expanded Capacitors or something instead. Or maybe it should stop existing since it just doesn't affect that many weapons and feels more like an OP tax than anything.
The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.
Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.
Expanded Magazines feels like a relic from a bygone era and would not mind seeing it removed. It feels required on Onslaught (for TPCs) and the few other ships that use Autopulse Laser. Occasionally handy for AM Blaster if twenty shots is not enough, although I prefer if ammo for that weapon was done away with. Twenty shots is sometimes enough before CR decays, and AM Blaster is very expensive already by itself.Autopulse Laser looks cheap at 20 OP, until you plug Expanded Magazines in to make it more functional, then its actual OP cost can vary, maybe closer to the (overpriced) plasma cannon.
I cant be blamed for what I said 5 minutes ago. I was a different person back then
Didn't see it in the changelog, so quick question: are there API methods to bring up the "name your faction" dialog screen, and to check if the player has already gone through it at least once?

The faction config dialog comes up when 1) you colonize your first planet, and 2) when you click on the faction name in the trade/colony info screen.
