>Five tachyon lances and four medium lances converging on a single target at extreme range
I AM BECOME DEATH, THE DESTROYER OF WORLDSI cant find that goddamned fifth tachyon lance anywhere
>Lances
Pussy.
>>332987605
Are those hegemony gunships? Or rather, XIV variants?
>>332985927Do you not use Omnifactory?
>>332987825
They're Hegemony, but I don't think they have the upgrades. I just consoled them in to mess around with dumb fleets, but I did't see an actual XIV variant in the listings.
>>332987605
This is encouraging.
I started a pirate run today and am hoping to build an all-frigate raiding fleet while keeping burn rate 10.

God speed, man.
I fooled around with it, but I was lazy and didn't vary my choices.

>tfw every 2nd save is a Java heap space ctd
Anyone know a few tricks that might let me continue the game on a toaster? I've played a previous one with exactly the same mods and with a lot less ctds but corvus multiplies the systems three-fold and it's been hell. Shit that helped so far-
>turned music off
>save game through the esc menu rather than F5
>no saving in hyperspace
>save on small sectors away from other ships
>turned off shaderlib
What do you guys think of the Victory?
>>332987957
I used it a few times to replace my destroyer losses, but I can't be bothered. I don't really need it.
>>332989530
Use nex to create only few star systems?
>>332990035
Every time I think of using it I think I'd rather use an Onslaught XIV
>>332990035
I'm not really a fan of most of SS+ designs.That ship is from there right?
>>332990049
>Use nex to create only few star systems?
But that doesn't explain why I can save like 60% of the time.
Also, I like how Corvus gives factions home systems.
>>332990489
Yep
Reminder that Industry soon™Hopefully
>>332990035
Pretty good capital ship. Practically an upgrade over the Conquest to me. Makes me wish the Onslaught had Turret arcs as good as the Victory.
>>332989530
try adding these if you havent yet
-XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit
-XX:+UseParallelOldGC
>>332991076
>Practically an upgrade over the Conquest to me.
Is it more mobile or faster than the Conquest?
What do I edit to increase the maximum fleet size?
>>332991286
Base stats alone nopebut it isn't like a Conquest can outrun or outgun one. Conquest needs a buff.
>>332992376
starsector-core\data\config\settings.json
or for SS+: Starsector Plus\data\config\settings.json
Look for maxShipsInFleet
>when your bombers get in a good bombing run against the enemy flagship
>>332992437
>Maximum Drive
Yeah that would do the Conquest in. My only problem with the Conquest is how difficult it is to take advantage of how split its firepower is.
>>332991124
To vmparams or to some other file? I don't need to run off the .bat instead, no?
>>332991043
Where are this anons that I was talkin' about ground combat and station combat with in the last thread? I'm interested in what ideas you had.
I think some form of infantry combat could be done 2D style. Kinda like Gratuitous Tank Battles or Infested Planet.
>>332993997
either vmparams or the bat should work
i only run off the bat myself
but i used to have the same problem with the saves CTDing
>>332993117
remove flat
>>332994708
Holy shit anon, that took like a whole minute to save but it worked! Gracias mang.
If you don't mind, could I bother you to paste your .bat? Mine doesn't actually run the game (i might have fucked around with it before) and since you seem to think it causes less problems, I might as well.

Well, I'll have to change the ram values, at least. Thanks again mate, you're a game-saver.

Is there a way to not get raped earlygame every time? I can usually play for 2 hours until the supreme leader of Fuck You-ville announces that he was just sitting outside hyperspace waiting for my starting fleet.
>>332994218
Reporting in. I'd be hella interested in all-fighter combat with ground defense or orbital bombardment, whatever works.
So I've been at work making fighters for my shit mod and I'm having a lot of fun with it. The actual spritework is pretty bad but if it's only fighters it should be fine.
>tfw you don't know how to balance
It didn't occur to me they'd rape shields so hard
>>332998127
>1x Light Assault Gun and 1x Light Machine gun
Isnt that just the same as the Warthog?
>>332993786
With how combat is, it feels more like a penalty to have firepower split between two sides of a ship with no option to turn most of the turrets forward. It seems like most capital ships that have decent damage output have 3+ large turrets that converge. I don't know if the Conquest would still look good if it was fitted with a 3rd set of medium and large weapons on each side if that happened, but I wouldn't complain if it had the flux stats to support eitheror bothsides.
>>332998291
Yes, but the MG is on a turret instead of a fixed hardpoint so it has a lot more versatility. I'm not really trying to balance, just testing the waters with mods.
Can anyone sell me on this game? It looks fun af.
Anybody got any portrait packs?
Nevermore or Nevermore Type-00?
What are the practical differences?
>>332999362
I've gotten dozens of hours of fun out of the combat alone, and the game has a bunch of more shit coming.
That said, if you plan on buying it now you should only do so if the combat looks appealing to you, since thats where all the meat of the game is right now. You should give a pirated version a whirl, its relatively easy to pirate.
What kind of ship can dock fighter wings?
>>332999786
Any ship with a flight deck, basically a carrier. You should get something like a Condor or Gemini to deploy in battle before using fighter wings.
>>332999505
Do you have this one?
http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=10836.0
>>332999786
Check the stats in this picture >>332992437.
If flight decks > 0, it can reload fighter squadrons. Not an expert, but an anon suggested earlier you use 2 squadrons per flight deck. Also, the ships can generally be identified as carriers.
Note, you don't need to have one to use fighters. But once they die, they stay dead.
>>332999786
Ships with flight decks. The ship stats will tell you if they have em.
On Vanilla all the ships with Flight Decks are
>Condor(Destroyer)
>Gemini(Destroyer)
>Some piece of shit cruiser that isnt even worth mentioning
>Heron(Cruiser)
>Astral(Capital)
>Odyssey(Capital)
I'm probably forgetting one but thats should cover it.
>>332998127
I like the idea of atmospheric fighter fights for taking over planets. I can't imagine some of the bigger ships doing well in an increased gravity environment. (I'd be ok with frigates.)
Also it would give fighters a role other than dying in droves and eating up my supplies.
Is there a way to increase my framerate in hyperspace? I'm getting 20~25 fps.
I just instaled Nexerelin with all updated mods. But getting through hyperspace is annoying.
>>332999886
>>333000159
>>333000215
I didn't exactly know where to find if a ship had a flight deck or not. Thanks.
>>333000370
Oh, I forgot to say that I can run perfectly vainilla, and I also changed the java files.
>>332985927
Is this game like gratuitous space battles? It looks exactly like it.
>>333000548
Nah, you can actually pilot the ships in this one.
>>333000627
whatever i don't care about that part. is the rest like it
>>332999518
Just read the descriptions?
>>333000791
Well I guess you can sit back and watch your fleet duke it out against the enemy just like GSB
>>333000873
I already got GSB 2 though and haven't played it...it exists btw much higher customization
This is important: in SS can I make a ship that works like a sawed off shotgun, where it's only good if i can fly up and broadside you close range, but then it rapes you
i want to do that
>>333001017
>game isn't on steam
wow the creator literally despises money
>start game
>fit ship a bit more to my taste
>can't find pirates or enemies to kill
imo there should be board missions that are like "We want this dude dead. Go X and face Y, get $$ from bounty and his loot."
would make finding combat a much more simple and enjoyable. no more waiting on rng to find a decent fleet that matches yours
>>333001017
I suppose, there's loadouts for ships that specialize on close combat but no shotgun like weapons.
>>333001183
He says its not ready for steam yet. Once the game is complete it'll be put on steam.
>>333000515
It's normal (at least to me) that the game takes a good hit on its FPS while modded, in comparison with vanilla. Especially in hyperspace where the map is huge and there are a ton of active fleets.
>>333001221
>imo there should be board missions that are like "We want this dude dead. Go X and face Y, get $$ from bounty and his loot."
But there are.
>>333001267
>He says its not ready for steam yet
that is literally why early access exists..
>>333001424
Heaven forbid somebody wants to actually put a finished product on steam.
How do you guys keep a stable income once you've got a fleet up?
Every time I just slowly run out of money while resupplying on fuel and supplies. Whenever I engage whether it's against an equal or greater fleet or jumping in on a fight and only sending a couple ships I never make back the money I invested in the battles. It feels like I'm doing something wrong.
>>333001985
what he's doing right now is giving the game away free, look at these threads.
>>333001369
Really? I only ever get procurement missions out of them.
I'll pay more attention to those then. Thanks for the tip!
Also, i start the game with my own faction and (hard mode), which says i begin without a planet of my own.
Is it a very big problem if i start engaging every i come across, even if it is friendly? I really have a hard time finding pirates to shoot at and i need better income.
>>333002086
Invest in leadership skills, anon.
>>333002375
Actually I meant more the bounty section of the intel tab. It tells you of a couple fleets and their position, and you get money when you take out the fleet captain.
>>333002375
There's the IBB which are hand crafted in SS+, then there's the generic bounty in the Intel tab.
>>333002434
I do, I've tried going all out on leadership and it doesn't fix the situation.
>>332985927
Someone give me the link for this game.
>>333002249
I think he doesn't want to put it there because he'd rather work on the game in his own time minus the huge pressure EA on Steam puts on a dev.
What are some fun things to change on the config file? Already changed maxnumber of ships, officers and their max level
>>333002890
Market procurement.
I also always turn off revenge fleets. Those fuckers spawn unlimited amount of ships in large numbers eventually. It's ridiculous.
>>332996909

>>333002872
Pls? There was a Google drive floating around somewhere.
>>333005001
The unofficial ones are all outdated. I don't know if the torrents already have the latest one.
This is a pretty nifty super-carrier. I think the flight decks are going to get nerfed to 8, but still pretty decent.
>>333005001
I don't remember a google drive, there's a crack you could apply to the newest version.
