Lprsti99, I would also like to add that starting as ExigencyCorp really would not work out right now as they have no base of operations quite yet.

[Aklyon]

While I'd love to have the sort of 'Start with a faction' thing Lprsti99 suggests (and I think Exerelin had?), I can see DR's point.

[Agalyon]

There was an oversight in the new values; it's being toned down significantly in the coming update.

I see. I'm still getting pirates and mercs trying to intercept me even having lost the bounty. Is that normal?

[Deathfly]

Hey DR, I just found that I can install Logistical Conservation mod on Rook, and... well, you know what will happen, right?

[Dark.Revenant]

A number of improvements and new features!  Combat (skill tree) is reworked!

You should try out the new starting options, which include things like random system placement, rarer ships, and easier boarding.

Special mention goes out to the system randomizer: it uses a smart algorithm that places each system in a relative zone.  The zones are Core Worlds, Middle Systems, Outer Territories, and Far Rim.  Systems in the database (includes most currently-released mods) are profiled to prefer certain zones; Corvus, for example, is usually Core, Askonia is Middle, Eos is usually Outer, and Antioch will appear in the Far Rim.  The algorithm will also try to cluster factions together, adding extra shape and structure to the star map.

If you were looking for a more hardcore experience, rare ships mode is for you.  Buying ships becomes difficult because your options are severely limited.  On the flip-side, you can turn on easier boarding, so you can capture the ships you want.

Congrats! Thank you so much!

What does "slightly out-of-date" mean? Can you run the game with those factions or not?

They work fine in the game.

Is it as intended that under 2.6.5 neutrals lose their "Neutral" prefix, fielding "Mercenary Patrol" instead of "Neutral Mercenary Patrol", "Fast Picquet" instead of "Neutral Fast Picquet" and so on?

[Dark.Revenant]

Because if anything shows "Neutral" it's a bug because the "Neutral" faction doesn't exist.  You're most likely thinking of the Citadel system, which used to have that bug.

Just checked vanilla and neutral fleets indeed doesn't had any prefix, be it "Neutral" or "Independent". Guess my memory playing tricks then, sorry for that and thanks for the fast response

[TheKillerWolf]

I was looking for the easier boarding option and cant seem to find it.  Do i have to pick certain choices or just go hard mode?

EDIT ignore me im blind it seems

It's in the startoptions.json file in the mod folder.
As has been mentioned before on this very page of the thread, the in-game start options thing is not easy to work with, so it should be understandable why new options don't immediately (or ever?) put in there.

[Dark.Revenant]

It's more just that there will be so many options (and already are, basically), that putting it in that limited menu is impractical.

[Agalyon]

Is it just me or are engines made of glass now? Like 25 damage is enough for a full burnout if it lands in the right spot. Its ridiculous. Like it doesn't even feel proper, number wise. 50% isn't enough to do that. Honestly, I like most of these changes, pretty much except for the Evasive Action tree, and Precision Fire. I don't think any of that needs to be fleet wide. Not only does Precision Fire cancel with Evasion, but it also adds a huge gap between those with 5 combat and those without, not to mention it makes EMP damage far less appealing, seeing as literally everyone now has 50% damage to weapons. Doesn't seem very well thought out to me.
