A question about the milestone about having x number of officers at level 5 or higher...

What conditions trigger it exactly? I've had a run where I ended up with a full complement of officers at max level, all 5 + (including a mod added level 8 AI), and it didn't trigger. Assigned each of them to ship... Unassigned... No trigger.
Did I miss something?

It requires at least 8 officers of at least level 5 (should have checked whether this counts the player before coding it), checked after each player battle.

I'm getting a crash upon starting up a game (specifically right after selecting my skills, as it's generating the sector) using the following modlist:

That looks like the Star Federation station bug; updating that mod will fix it.

If not, with latest Nexerelin the line immediately above the error message should identify which mod is having the issue.

Small suggestion regarding the "Follow me!" campaign command. Right now, as long as you're commissioned with a faction at all, you can get fleets of any size to blindly follow you away from their duty. When you're just a newcomer to a faction, it feels very weird and exploity that your low rep character can casually pull massive warfleets to do their bidding whenever.

I don't know if it's possible in the code, but I think it'd be better if the command only worked if you have high reputation with the faction.

With the changes to combat in .95 I wonder if fleet sizes need to be changed more than they already are since combat is much harder. Fleet sizes feel smaller already but I still think pirate doomstacks are really hard to beat even with a late game fleet.

Hi, I randomized the core worlds and by doing this I'm not sure if I screwed myself out of the Galatian Academy main story missions. Is there a Nex equivalent I should be looking out for that could provide these? I'm having fun so far but I'd rather have a "main objective" I could work towards as I play.

In 0.95 number of officers dominate deployment point calculation, and AI fleets have higher number of officers if you're not using mercenaries. So most of the time when you're fighting late game AI doomstacks, you get the bare minimum of 40% of battle size as the starting DP. With a default battle size of 300 DP, you'll get 120 DP. The disadvantageous 40%-60% split can be equalized to 60%-60% in battle as you capture battle objectives, so you should try bringing fast ships that can easily dispatch enemy frigates (safety overridden frigates are an obvious choice), which should be easy in the case of fighting against pirates.

@Histidine
Maybe you should make the warning labels bigger?

What do you mean?

[IonDragonX]

What do you mean?

I was trying to say to @Histidine "Maybe you should make the warning labels bigger?". It wasn't really directed to you, just using your comment to illustrate that the warnings about a random core start is not noticeable enough. The main plot of Starsector does not have a randomized core so, if you randomize it, the plot cannot work, sorry.

Can I play the vanilla game plot normally if I don't randomize the core worlds? I tried starting a new game as vanilla as I could but Galatia Academy wasn't there, either.

In vanilla and Nex non-random sector the Academy will be orbiting Pontus in the Galatia system (it doesn't appear in the jump point tooltips or the screen that shows the planet icons in a row, but should be readily visible in the system map).

The Academy storyline doesn't work in random sector, since it relies on the specific vanilla core worlds that don't exist here. Maybe I'll add a warning about it.

I think you should and make it big. Else this thread is going to have endless 'bug reports' saying the same thing... multiple times.

Can you claim to be a modder if you don't deal with that? It's a universal constant across all games and planets.

Is there a way to offer peace to another faction you are at war with? im sick of paying for saturation bombardment bribes

[Audun]

I think I found a compatibility bug between Nex and Seeker: Unknown Contact. The game crashed immediately after defeating Rampage, a ship belonging to the Plague Bearer faction added by SUC.

It happened when I beat it the old-fashioned way, so I reloaded the game and killed it with console commands. Same result. Here is the log:

At first I thought it was related to faction interaction, so I tried resigning my Hegemony commission before the fight, but the result was the same:

Anyway, maybe I should be posting this on the SUC thread instead--not sure.

Regardless, Nex is a great mod! Thanks for making it!

Why can't I help out these Independents with a colony?
