Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Simulator Enhancements (03/13/24)
Unrelated to the above, I changed my monitor since I last played and the flashing effects entering and exiting menus or using a jump point are surprisingly strong, to the point where I've started turning away from my screen regularly. I'm not sure the best method, but it'd be really appreciated if there was a way to tone those down. Still worth it, though. ^^
Wyvern is 100% correct about the math.

High Resolution Sensors has had an overhaul - its not broken,
Does the Tachyon Lance sound not work for anyone else with this new patch?
I'm having a blast discovering all the new things in the update! One thing I'm noticing so far as I advance into the midgame: enemy officer count and level is becoming a greater and greater problem.My own main combat ships can keep up because of the 2 free hullmods. Thats enough to close the gap between their level 6/7 officers and my level 5's, but it costs me 2 story points per ship and makes losing those ships suddenly really bad. I've always liked to keep frigates around as distraction/support/torpedo boats even in larger fleets, but now they are up against enemy frigates with officer and they just cannot engage on equal terms. Against enemy admirals with the proper skills, even 2v1 my frigates are losing against what should be inferior enemies, as those enemies also have a 20% speed bonus that I've lost and a 20% range penalty in their favor.Still early days in terms of playing, so this is very off the top of the head impressions![Edit] Oh snap hotfix!
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.
