Starsector PvP
« on: August 26, 2020, 08:35:47 PM »

Anyone else ever wished we had a Starsector PvP simulator? Something like Pokemon Showdown except made for Starsector.

And I don't mean a full fledged multiplayer thing, that would take too long; what i'm hoping for is just the ability to be able to just refit our fleets and then fight with em.

tours don't have player piloting, plus are tedious and difficult to join.

plus they're hard to make.

I think keeping tours would be good, but this is  meant to be more of a casual fun thing, not the competetive enviroment of a tournament.

I don't really. The game relies so heavily on AI allied ships that PvP would instantly become a salt mine. If you mean 20v20 all player piloted ships though, it's a different game altogether and would have its own set of problems.

No idea what Pokemon Showdown is, but yes to PvP.

solution to the competetiveness issue: have no rankings and only 1 player piloted ship per fleet

EDIT: anyone know of pvp games that aren't a salt mine? like people play it just for fun

No specific genres? Well then...

Arma? Squad? The latter is very much self-regulating where salt-miners usually don't appear until the end of the match (usually when your team loses).

Can't think of an F2P game that isn't a saltfest though- anonymity making people bolder and all. Though maybe Project Reality since its the cloth from which Squad was cut from.
