regarding the upcoming changes for 3.0.1, "Faction hostility events now drop your reputation to hostile at the start if you're commissioned"
will your reputation move back up to inhospitable/suspicious at the end of hostilities? or will a hostile faction keep shooting you even after it makes peace with the faction you're commissioned with?
also regarding "Market weapons and ships now depend on stability (overall abundance is decreased)"
does ship availability also relate to market size or the nature of the market? (as in military markets having military ships on open market, non military more civilians ships, and are faction ships more available in markets of their faction?)
I ask because in a recent playthrough it seemed that ships from various factions were a lot more ubiquitous than I expected, I'm actually looking forward to less abundance
That's Blackrock and Shadowyards to my knowledge.
true, but starsector plus/graphics/ssp/portraits had some too
It's easy to remove portraits by editing .faction files. Just make sure you edit the "player" .faction in the mod's directory to remove references there too (it's used for selecting portraits on startup)
tyvm for the tip! I decided to try just replacing the resources in the mods' graphics/portrait folders. same names but generic portraits.
