Starsector on tvtropes
« on: October 23, 2014, 07:48:33 AM »

I was reading things, and ended up on this particular page, which from the sounds of things was made before there was hyperspace travel in the game.

Just thought I'd mention it if anyone wanted to update it some, or just see it :)

Its creepy how there's always one of these pages for something and they're all written in EXACTLY the same tone. :P

That's because it's all done by one guy.

I wonder what they would think of how bad the Macross Missile Massacre  is NOW!
Also, it looks like this is very old in some ways (before hyperspace as fuel is useless) and new in other ways (like venting hard flux with shields up hull mod)

It appears it hasn't been updated significantly (except for the name change and monitor) since around .54 (when i started playing). I never made an account there, and once the site got auto-playing flash ads i haven't gone back. It's too bad really. I really liked TVTropes, and it's even how i'd first heard about starsector.

Nah. If a place has untenable ads then i'm just not going to go there. I'd rather deprive them of potential views in their visit statistics instead of as they're trying to sell me something. That way the people that run things might have an idea as to what caused the revenue drop. I don't like adblock either. So just stopping isn't such a hard choice for me.

Can't say I've ever seen those kinds of ads there Coyote, but I see your point.
