Old Versions of Starfarer/Starsector
« on: December 31, 2018, 08:17:26 PM »

The blog only catalogues correctly down to version 0.53a, as the older links redirect to a broken link that no longer exists, so I decided to upload the older versions I still had on my computer.  So I decided to upload them so they could still be accessed, maybe Alex can eventually get the archive on the website working again:

Windows:
.33a

.34a
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a22an14HQM33znJNVUxA2yXHgtCxmibk/view?usp=sharing

.35a
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yNF1vSg6NHxPsrnz4surK6s3A9VAjRaQ/view?usp=sharing

.5a

I wonder if anyone else managed to catalogue the older versions besides just me.

I'm pretty sure that .5a introduced the campaign which is when I started playing.  Before that the game only consisted of those training battles IIRC.

Not for those patches no, but I make a policy of downloading (and using) every stable faction mod there is for any given version and I have them all ligned up with their corresponding SS versions down to .5 or something. Uomoz' Corvus anyone? Would have to dig them up from my burnt down old machine and someone would have to set up the archive (maybe linking in the wiki?) but it's doable. Would have to ask the mod owners if they are okay with that, though. Also, some TCs and "utility" mods are missing from my archive (most relevant exelerin/nexelerin as I never liked it much...)

To answer Your question: No, there is not, as far as I know.


(Funny how even those ancient versions of the game each have their own appeal with their unique balancing profiles. I still like to load up the Corvus only version with the neat mass-boarding interface once in a while...)

I will dig out this thread because I really want to ask if anyone also have access to other older versions of Starsector or know where you can get them?
