i was wondering how to edit the selection of ships when you the custom option when choosing your fleet

It's based on the ships known to the faction (or independents for the own faction/free start), which is controlled by the .faction file.

Hey you need to update the mod to account for the new Colony Crises system.
Specifically the Remnants.

The Colony Crises system makes Remnants saturation bombard your colonies near their Nexus. The only way to stop this is to kill the nexus. I hope its understandable why that is a problem if you do the Midnight Dissonance quests

Yeah, in next version having Midnight as a contact will block the Remnant part of the colony crisis.

I seem to face some sort of problem with invasions.

In my game, the Hegemony does not seem to respect the Invasion point need to launch an invasion fleet, typically launching fleets at about 30k points, and then getting into the negative invasion points.
Furthermore Tri-Tachyon have been unable to launch an invasion fleet despite sitting at their cap of 27k for a few cycles now.

Factions are allowed to overdraw invasion points if a larger force is needed for the target, but they'll need to pay back the deficit before the next invasion/raid.
The TT one might be because they don't have any invadable enemies? Or... because the requirement is for having > the point requirement instead of >=, whoops, lemme fix that.

Auto resolve also looks to have some odd results sometimes, with fleets with green D-mods (I assume these are inbuilt mods?) seemingly reducing everything to rubble, with the most egregrious example being when the Hegemony Special Fleet destroyed another fleet with 4 Invictus class ships in it without losing a single ship.
Currently the game is looking quite difficult with the Hegemony having almost achieved the population victory condition 5 cycles in.

Yeah, special task groups have an autoresolve bonus which might be excessive now that (0.97) the base game takes S-mods into account for autoresolve. I'll put that on the todo list for checking.

After checking the source code, I noticed that the "faction-wide income" number you can see in Strat. AI affects absolutely nothing, more just acting as a singular value for the player to estimate faction's total market share in raw cash money. Is this a WIP part or intended? It is really odd that you cannot really force a rival faction to produce smaller fleets or not build new buildings as often by affecting them economically besides striking at specific resources, but you wouldn't be able to determine which commodities are important without looking up the code and, while ship hulls are obvious enough, marines or fuel isn't.

BUG: Outpost storage fees displayed in colony overview page (Command -> Colonies). Net income shows as negative with a monthly storage fee if you have items in the local storage. However, it doesn't look like this is actually charged against you in the monthly income page (Command -> Income).

I keep having random crashes, any idea what's causing this?

Does it happen after fighting a specific fleet? The crash seems to be from the dialog either not having a battle, or the battle not having a player side (using the Java 23 mod will give a more detailed error message). Not sure why it would happen.

I could make faction income do things at some point, but don't have any plans to right now.
It does sound interesting, but the effect on actual faction strength might be minute and/or undesired issues elsewhere could arise. The base game, mod factions and Nex were never designed  or balanced for NPC credits doing anything, and the calculation of NPC colony income has certain deviations that could become noticeable with a sufficiently large player faction.*

*The game excludes player colonies for determining the size of the export market in a given commodity, i.e. your own demand doesn't contribute to the market size, so you can't generate revenue from exporting to yourself. NPC export income also uses a market size that excludes player colonies, rather than excluding their own.

Well, even if income cannot be easily made to affect stuff, I would suggest removing that line from Strat.AI since it doesn't mean anything anyway and replacing it with more immediately useful information like fleet points available by specific owned colonies so you could, for instance, more easily determine which markets to take out to cripple the military industrial capacity of a faction. It's not like the player can't calculate this information manually already and infer it too from "find industries" thing in X menu.

More specifically, I'm referring to

Code

InvasionFleetManager::getMarketInvasionCommodityValue

function.

Relatively new to Starsector, loving the game and this mod - have had a few very fun playthroughs already.

Quick question, is there a way to allow the player created faction show up on the faction list? I thought I saw someone explain how to do this in a thread somewhere, but for the life of me can't remember which thread it was.

Thanks in advance.

[SpaceDrake]

Do you mean the player-controlled faction when you found a colony?

That's just the "player" faction. You are always your own faction (even when commissioned, you are still the player faction and are attached to an NPC faction in certain senses). The guts of "establishing" your faction is just that you get to control the flag/crest that represents you, the actual name of your group, and a few of the other variables. The player faction always exists because you always exist.

The behavior of the player faction is governed by the player.faction file in starsector-core/data/world/, or any mod that includes a data/world/ path with a player.faction file.

[Malstryx]

Ah, thanks for the reply. What I mean is the faction list when you press F3 and go to the faction tab. In my game it currently shows the factions I have enabled, with info on known allies, known enemies, and reputation level between the factions. I was wondering when the player creates a colony and chooses a faction name and flag, is there a way for the player faction to also show up on this list. It's more an immersion thing and not really a big deal, but was just curious.

If you mean as a starting option, I think own faction is an option that starts you with a planet. Due to Colony Crises this is slightly harder than before

I'm encountering an issue with "find pirate base" - I've had operatives complete the operation many times, but it always finishes with no notification, and no intel. I can then have them immediately "find pirate base" again - it's as if the operation doesn't complete for some reason. Any insight?

I've noticed that when visiting a Luddic Shrine, if a novice approaches me and I select the "I'm a strong supporter of AI rights" option, Nexerelin increments the Sarcastic ethos by 1 (found in the "Personal info" panel).  Shouldn't this instead increment the Pro-AI ethos?

Copypaste into console, should do the trick: runcode Global.getSector().getPlayerFaction().setShowInIntelTab(true);

Is this with a base near a player colony generating Colony Crises contribution? That case might be buggy, I'll try to test.
(For now you'll just have to find the base yourself by going into the bar; or check the crisis intel or Pirates tab in intel in case the location is already known)

Well that's a question for David; the vanilla dialog sets the ethos, Nex just displays them in a neat table
I'll note that the rules.csv row for that dialog option has ID lppHookResponseTroll, the presumed implication being that the player character is doing it to bother the novice when they haven't even said anything yet.

[Audax]

Does planetary operations stats from tactical drills affect nex invasions??

EDIT: got the answer from Histidine in discord Histidine said it affects it

[Seamus Donohue]

...the presumed implication being that the player character is doing it to bother the novice when they haven't even said anything yet.

I see.  So, the fact that I am a strong supporter of AI rights is entirely beside the point.  Got it, thanks!
