... Or StarSector 0.6 will handle it for you

Man, having multiple systems will up the complexity of this mod just a bit...

wait, 0.6 has multiple systems?!

Yeah, check out the new patch notes, dude. 
I can imagine seeing entire systems controlled by single factions.

Also, Sparrow OP. Zaphide as modpack creator, you shoulld totally fix this. 
To be fair, that was my first time (huehue) fighting Sparrows. Having HE-dmg dealing weapons doesn't help shake teleporting frigates off your ass.

I have already made them spawn two times less often in the fleets.
As for their stats MrDavidoff said they are more balanced in next Council version, so we will update them when he releases.

I tried using this mod on a fresh install. I enable it, click Play Starsector, and as soon as the loading bar finishes I get this error:

[CrashToDesktop]

You load LazyLib along with it?

You will need to also load the LazyLib mod (link in the first post in this thread)

EDIT: beaten

[Pentarctagon]

Awesome, thanks!

Code

v0.56
- Added asteroid mining fleets for stations
  - Mining fleets go to the nearest asteroid and slowly mine to create supplies
- Added gas mining fleets for stations
  - Mining fleets go to the nearest gas giant and slowly mine to create fuel
- Added escort ships to supply and station attack fleets
  - Extra escorts in wartime
- Added new alliance mechanics
  - If two factions are allied, they must now also each be at war with each others enemies (think coalitions)
  - Once in an alliance, a factions diplomacy is handled by the alliance until they leave the alliance
- Added starting option to set system size at 15000(small), 30000(medium) and 40000(large)
  - An additional asteroid belt is added around star per system size increase
- Added starting option to start with nine other factions
- Added starting option to respawn factions only up to the starting number (will cycle through factions)
- Added starting option to have no asteroid belts (apart from one around the star)

- Changed system to always spawn with an asteroid belt around the star
- Changed system to spawn with at least one gas giant
- Changed Patrol Fleets to take on extra assignments (raid, attack) when at war
- Changed attack, defense and patrol fleets to not have civilian ships
- Changed In System Supply Convoys (spawned form stations) to also deliver ships/weapons if delivering to player stations
- Changed Allied In System Supply Convoys to deliver allied faction ships/weapons if delivering to player stations
- Changed Rebels to always be hostile to Trade Guild

- Fixed a null reference exception with in system supply convoys
- Fixed issue with catastrophic station accidents not occurring
- Fixed (another) issue with ships/weapons not clearing properly on station takeover
- Fixed issue where factions could respawn even though respawn was off
- Fixed issue calculating last faction in certain circumstances
- Fixed issue where trade guild conversions could happen multiple times to same supply fleet
- Fixed issue with stations not updating at the correct rate
- Fixed fleet cost calculation issue
- Fixed issue with trade guild converted fleets not correctly despawning in some situations
- Fixed issue on loading save games not loading the correct settings before doing anything else

- Factions are less likely to declare war on factions that are far away
- Various resource level and transfer amount changes to account for new mining fleets
- Added some missing ships to IFed
- Removed Sparrow as a start ship for Council, and reduced the likelihood of it spawning
- Added cooldown time between system events, and the same system event cannot occur twice in a row

Mining fleets sound cool but almost unnecessary as I've never seen stations with supply issues. (Well aside from when I play council who always seem to be on the back foot. >.>)

Liking the idea of the alliances forcing certain allegiances.

Mining fleets sound like they should add some life to the system regardless.

The other resource amounts were updated to take this into consideration. Now you should see the majority of supplies come from asteroid mining, fuel from gas mining, and crew/marines from supply convoys and generated by the station. Also, a station that is close to a gas giant and/or asteroid belt will obviously have an advantage over one that is far away.

That's the idea It's all a bit bleak and lonely in the depths of space!

is it just me or download isn't working ?

[ValkyriaL]

It's not working, but i guess he is still uploading. x)

[CrashToDesktop]

And it's working.

[Zaphide]

Yeah sorry should be all good now

[Nanostrike]

After playing the mod for a bit, I have one pretty large criticism:

Getting the needed weapons seems almost completely random and involves a ton of flying in circles or waiting at a planet and hoping a supply shipment gives them to you.

Depending on your faction and starting ship, with their default weapons and the possibility of not getting any weaponry you need to re-outfit your ship, you could be left nearly-useless.

Is there any way to make your faction get more of it's weapons faster or something?
