Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Planet Search Overhaul (07/13/24)
The one complaint I have about ss is that it's too floaty and things die way too fast (onslaught vs onslaught takes maybe 15 seconds).
(I do agree that the battles in SS are fast, but I think thats how they should be if you ever watch real combat/read combat logs it happens in minutes so around 15s seems kinda real to me)
