Been playing the mod for awhile now and recently redownloaded the new version but I seem to be only able to start as the vanilla factions. I know there are ways to include and exclude other factions but in the older version there were at least 6-8 other factions already included. Have they been taken out of the newest version due to balance issues or did I do something wrong?

You have to download the other factions separately.

Yeah as joey4track says; Download the faction mod separately and then select Exerelin, LazyLib and any other faction mods you wish to play with

Is it possible to actively take over another factions station in this mod? I heard something about having to get an Atlas and pack it up with supplies then add it to your fleet, then hover over the station and it should take it over?

Or am I crazy and that is just not possible at all?

You need a valid superhauler such as the atlas in addition to a valid troop transport such as the valkyrie, and usually a big load of marines. You attack by floating your fleet above the station; it will take one attacking marine per defending marine and if you run out of marines you might lose your hauler and troop transport. So, if the defending station is packed with 1000 marines but your fleet can only hold 700 marines it will take at least two loads of marines to capture the station, provided that it does not get supplied in between your capture attempts.

Haven't visited these forums in a while. How's this mod getting on? Stopped playing shortly after 0.6, the bloated saves after loading a reasonably sized modiverse like Exerelin made my little craptop heave at the prospect.

Wow. Dang.. That seems like a lot has to go right for that to happen. Wish it was easier.. Well I have the credits to try it out, might as well give it a shot thanks.

It looks like something is wrong with your save file. Did you edit it? If so you might want to restore to a backup.

Edit: Also, was the save you're trying to load generated with Exerelin to begin with? I don't think you can load a vanilla save with Exerelin running.

[CottonEye]

it was generated with exerelin and i didnt edit it and this happens to all saves that i try to load

I've started 4 different games with Exerelin, and all my save games eventually get corrupted.... Makes me so sad too... This mod is so boss! Any tips?

Less systems and factions is all I can recommend, unfortunately. At least, that works for me.

plenty but try read "Mod Requirements" at the front page

Tokshens Valk series are not on the OP, probably a few others also missing. =(

*rolls eyes*
Problem is, when I change the file to the higher memory numbers, Starsector won't even start up. Anyone have anything witty to say like this fella ^, or maybe something helpful? I'm using windows 8.

[Crisscross]

Hi all, just wanted to ask about a small gameplay issue I've had with the mod. Is there something I need to do to make capital ships get sold in your faction's stations? I currently have a game as the Sindrian Diktat, and it's currently cycle 209 and there are still no Conquest battlecruisers being sold at any of my stations. NPC fleets are already fielding Conquests, but the most the stations sell are only Apogee-class cruisers.

Do I have to put points in the 'faction' skill tree to unlock capital ships being sold at the stations? Is there something else I need to do to unlock them, or is my game possibly just bugged?

Thanks a bunch.

EDIT: Nvm, found the config option earlier in the thread.
