I remember way back when I modded and edited a few things to allow for larger fleet sizes and battle sizes.

I remember having to fiddle around with the memory and a json file or something. How do you go about increasing fleet sizes and battle sizes? What size would you recommend for a top end system that won't crash a lot due to engine limitations?

Thanks guys.

Go to starsector-core/data/config/setting.json

Find "maxBattleSize", by default 400, and set it to whatever you want. Adjust as needed with the in-game settings slider. Note that with larger fleet sizes you may want to increase AI fleet sizes / maximum officer count / max ships in fleet and your max ships in fleet / max officers, which is also in the settings.

Also make sure to change vmparams (https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=8726.0) file to be larger.

Where were the settings for command points for the actual battles or has that changed?

Firstly, make sure you are using a high-quality code-friendly text editor - I strongly suggest Notepad++ (yes, two pluses).

As above, open the file called settings.json.....

Approximately at or around line number 567, you should find these two:

Code

"startingCommandPoints":5,
"baseSecondsPerCommandPoint":120,

Change the values to ones that you prefer.
Save the file.
Restart the game.
Enjoy.

What does the "baseSecondsPerCommandPoint" do? I am assuming "startingCommandPoints" is the base battle size?

Command Points references the points you use to give your fleet orders, someone else asked about changing those. maxBattleSize is what you're looking for.
