Please add:
   boolean usesAmmo();
for:
    com.fs.starfarer.api.combat.ShipSystemAPI

To clearly decides if a system uses ammo or not

Can't you just check if the maximum ammo is larger than 0?

Please add:
   JSONObject getEffectGroups();
for:
    com.fs.starfarer.api.characters.SkillSpecAPI

To get scriptpath/etc from a skill.

[Ruddygreat]

can we get a method to get the specific opengl texture id that the combat / system background uses?
I know we're also getting a method to get the sprite name, but I'm not particularly fond of the idea of semi-constantly loading duplicates(?) of a large sprite into vram

[Lukas04]

I think i requested this before somewhere, but it would be nice to get a settings.json entry that unclamps the map UI from the width & height of the sector at procgen. Would allow for putting content furher out in hyperspace. As of now you cant drag the view outside of those bounds.

Please make orbitalstation stationFleet and stationEntity public. It makes manipulating orbital stations a lot easier.

Or at least add a getter.

Please add:
   public MutableStat getEmpDamageMult();
for:
    com.fs.starfarer.api.combat.MutableShipStatsAPI

It's the time, there should be a stat to modify EMP damage dealt by weapon.

[SirHartley]

please add:

MessageDisplayAPI.getMessages();

To get the currently displayed messages (also requires de-obfuscating the inner "Message" class).
Thanks!

removeTag(String tag) for com.fs.starfarer.api.loading.FighterWingSpecAPI

[SafariJohn]

Surprised there is not already CommMessageAPI.MessageClickAction.CARGO_TAB

[banano of doom]

please add boolean ShipEngineControllerAPI.isIdle() which should return true when ship is not actively doing anything movement-related.
not strictly necessary or limiting in any way, but it is inconvenient having to manually check every single other possible state to be false, when doing any sort of thruster-related modding.

also, would it be possible to add SpecialItemPlugin.getCargoSpace() that we can override, for dynamic size of item based on data stored in it?

[SafariJohn]

public MutableStat getNumBuiltInFighterBays() in MutableShipStatsAPI would be helpful

[Timid]

I would like a way for missions to have a dependency added to their descriptor.json

For example:

Code

{
	"title":"Forlorn Hope",
	"difficulty":"HARD",
	"icon":"icon.jpg",
	"background":"graphics/backgrounds/background2.jpg"
        "dependencies": [
        {"id": "mod_1", "name": "Mod 1"},
        {"id": "mod_2", "name": "Mod 2", 
            "version":{
                "major":1,
                "minor":0,
                "patch":0
            }
        },
    ],
}

And if the dependencies of a mod do not appear aren't met, do not fire any code to make that mission appear. It would be a good way for mods to use modded variants or support a certain ship pack from a faction mod's perspective. The current workaround is to BLANK everything in the MissionDefinition.java which can lead to a bad experience when players when they see a mission they are unable to play.

EDIT:

...

I'd like to ask if CombatFleetManager.getGroupManager() would be exposed to use and modify?

[Tranquility]

I would like the logic inside the for-loop of CoreLifecyclePluginImpl's createInitialPeople() method to be extracted as a public static method that we can use (something like createInitialPeople(MarketAPI market, Random random), perhaps?). Main reason is to allow mods to add markets mid-game (i.e., after the new-game economy load step) and then easily populate those added markets with the usual NPC people, without needing to copy the createInitialPeople() code to implement this functionality.
