Shit taste edition
http://strawpoll.me/7231818/
Is the game worth 15 bucks?
>>332565086
Versant suck ass. It needs a buff. Can't even fire built in dual Harvest cannon without over fluxing itself. Sure, a player can be smart and stop shooting. In the hands of AI, it is completely shit.
Why do people hate on Approlight? I find the ships rather nice-looking, if a bit overpowered.
>>332566792
In other words: will this ever leave alpha?
>>332566792
Pirate and give it a try. If you like it there shouldn't be a problem buying it then. You can also just wait for it to come out, that's understandable.Its been almost 4 years since I've owned the game.
>>332567671
Well the money is actually not so much of an issue, but if it has been in development for four years already and it's still in alpha, do you feel like the dev is really behind this game, fixing bugs, adding new content, listening to the community etc.? Currently watching a 26 minute video from 4 months ago and it looks really neat. But the video of course is just a snapshot of that time and it's more about gameplay and not so much the development.
>>332566992
>if a bit overpowered
Probably why, its the same reason KT gets flak despite it calling itself an OP faction given to you as a challenge to fight. I like some of the designs and unique weapons, even if I don't find it fitting with vanilla's theme and balance.
>>332568195
Not him, but if I understand correctly The dev cycle for Starsector is a bit different. The game will go like 8 months for no new releases, then a huge update is released. After the huge update smaller updates happen for a few months fixing bugs and tweaking, until its stable than the next huge release is worked on. Next huge release is said to have industry in it, which many people have been waiting for.
>>332568195
The big issue with development time is indeed the one developer. He actively fixes bugs, adds content, polishes, play tests and is working toward adding a new big feature: Industry. It takes awhile, since he's only one guy but he isn't alone for other things like art or music.
He seems like a chill guy, and is active on the forums since the community helps out a lot with catching bugs for him to fix and giving feedback for things missed. He's active even if the game doesn't seem like it is, and mods definitely help keep things a bit more lively.
>>332568195
No, don't buy it, just pirate it. If you can't live with yourself because of piracy, then just make the donation. At least the dev is dedicated to this game.

>>332570512
I regret not giving it a try earlier with all the times I've saw it at Freeport. Its pretty fun to use, and when I first gave it a test flight I realized why it was a Specialty Ship from the mod page. Still fun, and even if it got balanced to be more in-line with other capitals I'd still use it.
>>332571369
Neutrino ships remind me of a mix of Starship Trooper ship design & Homeworld.
Diable outright deminds me of some Kith Somtaaw tier shit.
They're both my fucking cocaine in this game.
So for starsector+, do I need to download all those factions seperately or are they included?
If I have to get them one at a time, are there any I should skip? I've been having fun with no mods so far but I can't touch anything without modding it.
Yo doggs, I'm retarded and can't manage to get starsector+ working
What's a checklist of shit I need to get this fucker working?
>>332571749
You need to download them yourself.
They aren't really necessary, but they fill a lot of blanks in play style.
>>332572265
Download required mods.

>>332571749
The mods most people consider well done are Intersellar Imperium, Tiadong Heavy Industries, Diable Avionics, and Black Rock Drive Yards. The other factions are fine, I personally like Approlight, but the quality/powerlevel varies between them.
what's your opinion on the Hiigaran Descendants faction
>>332572854
>>332572854
It's OP as fuck for the Starsector universe.
I mean FFS these niggas use projectile munitions in interstellar ship to ship combat.
>>332574014
doesn't the Hegemony do that?
How come the Hiigaran mod is missing from the vote? I haven't tried it myself but the ships look way better than the average mod. I hope the dude updates it to 7.2
http://pastebin.com/swzWjDet
WIP pastebin, this one I can edit to actually improve and make less shit. It has the mega before anyone asks. If there are better links, let me know. Still pruning over to make sure everything is in check. Working on the mods section, and everything after.
Looking to see if I missed anything I should recommend doing for modding, and any advice for starters, especially if they need help to git gud. Any other sections to add? I'd probably add other pastebins at the top if someone else has something to contribute.
>>332576143
The mods listed are the ones up to date and work with the newest version, 0.7.2. Same reason why Tiandong and Mayorate aren't there, despite how much I like those mods.
>Get accosted and accused of smuggling by followers' faction
>'suspicious cargo' being some missile weapons and marines because marines are hard as fuck to find in my game
Bitch do you know who I am?
>>332576530
Approlight is 7.1 though.
>>332576530
Why dont you actually write a blurb for each well known mod and how they play/feel/story? ITs not that hard to do
>>332576979
It doesn't trip up anything in 7.2 tho.
>Get a Pandemonium Battleship
>Figure I'll throw it into Omnifactory roll the dice on ship "quality"
>Fucking thing comes out Inferior
>worse then rough.
Goddamnit I waited a fucking month for that. FFS.
>>332576979
If it works with 0.7.2 then I'll feel dumb and wish I could edit/add an option with existing votes. There has to be a better poll somewhere.
>>332577079
Good idea, I'll give that a shot
>game requires java
Into the trash it goes
>>332566992
I like approlight, but the problem is that they function like a normal faction instead of a boss faction, so they get all the benefits and none of the downsides
Which Corvette would make the cutest corvette-tan?
Hecate, Seski, Robberfly (did I miss any?)
>>332577891
Seski should have BIG SHADOWYARD TITTIES
>>332577132
If Extra System was better made it would make this game Diablo-tier addictive, which makes me scared. Or imagine weapons with random prefixes and- ffffuck
>>332578856
What would the random prefixes/suffixes for ship even do?
>>332579225
Gay Wolf - Increased Gayness for Wolf. +20% range, can only mount tac lasers, salamanders and graviton beams
>>332578856
>>332578856
I think Blackrocks shard weaponry have % chances to cause detonations on hull/armor, piercing.
Some weapons supposedly exhibit APHE function too.
>>332578856
If someone makes a mod like that, then holy shit I would have to go through hell and back to get weapons all with the same affixes. It sounds like a mod that can easily taken too far like a Nebula Graviton Beam that'll reduce top speed as if you were in a nebula when hit.
>>332579716
How about getting a tac laser that has the ion beam effect
>>332580883
Unstable Phasing Reaper Torpedo - x% chance to phase for y seconds
Explosive Needler - x% damage converted to explosive
Forceful High Intensity Laser - Pushes affected targets scaling with damage
Fragmented Hellbore Cannon - Fragments x amount of times for y% of fragmentation damage on hit
Unique Protected Conquest - Ship system replaced with Damper Field, Hardened Shields
Unique Red-barreled Onslaught - Ship system replaced with Accelerated Ammo Feeder, Expanded Magazines
It would be too much
>>332579680
Another reason to like BRDY
>>332579225
We already have them in the form of variant hullmods.
>>332583346
Not exactly a good comparison.
>>332571369
Goddamnit these retarded fork-battleships need to stop
what's the fucking point of wielding lots of big guns if you can't bear even half of them on a single target
also is it just me or is NGO OP? At least this heavy destroyer kills fucking everything
What's a good frontliner for Diable? They don't really seem to have a straight up brawler Destroyer/Cruiser.
Also thanks Diable, for being at war with literally everyone and losing all your bases in like 6 months.
Can someone give me a quick blurb on what this game is?
>>332584497
Mount and Blade in spessssssssssssssss
>>332584214
>what's the fucking point of wielding lots of big guns if you can't bear even half of them on a single target
All 6 of those Mjolners can fire at anything directly in front of the Unsung. The Unsung and Victory both have very generous turret firing arcs, all but the rear 2 large weapons on the Victory in the corner can shoot forward.
Man Glaux Lance Repeaters are fucking trash on Pandemoniums.
>>332584214
No they don't.
>>332580883
>>332582347
>>332578856
Dude this reminds me of how FTL had that one Arsenal mod that did all this, it was integrated into Captain's Edition.
Holy fuck would this game suddenly become even better. We should ask on the forums if it would even be possible though
>>332584303
Gust and Maelstrom. I have less success with the others. Due to DA being right next to ducking Knights Templar, my finding are skewed towards fighting those OP assholes.
>>332585102
It is possible, but Originem (Author of both Approlight and Extra System) appears to be missing in action right now.
I wouldn't demand too much of them either. They seem to have their plate full as it is.
>>332584497
You fly a ship in 2D space and combat enemies with it. You can manage an entire fleet of spaceships where you control one and AI will control the rest of your ships.
Management of spacing, weapon timers, aiming, shields, and most importantly flux (too much and you'll overload and lose weapons + shields) are all vital to combat.
There are also macro game elements such as economy, missions, and factions but these are quite limited in comparison to the main feature of the game: combat.
Mods for the game further enhance these features or add new features that compliment the main game, such as basic 4X Strategy & faction overhauls. Most mods however add custom factions with their own set of ships and weapons.
>>332585375
Well I am not talking about asking him to make the mod, I'm talking about asking people on the forum how feasible it is.
>>332584497
A SHMUP, but you control a fleet with deep mechanics. Minus the bullet hell. Sometimes it can be a bullet hell.
Possible Morpheus changes coming next Blackrock update.
>>332585102
I imagine if something like this is made, it could inspire other RPG-like mods.
Holy crap I wanted to mod this game but this is fucking overwhelming. I guess I'll play with more mods to get a better idea?
I just realized Starsector is basically the story of a group of planet's shenanigans post Empire of Man's collapse, sans the grimdarksomeone should mod in the God-Emperor's crusade to reconquer the planets
>>332565086
Why is the NGO so underrated? It's easily on par with BRDY/DA/II/SRA.
>>332587968
I am guessing indistinct ships that looks like a dark triangle. Every other mod I can recognize the names and shape of their ship even if I don't have that mod. Can't even recall one NGO ship from my lurking.
Just found this thread from the forums. Why is this in /v/ and not /vg/?
>>332589302
we are one step from going there
someone needs to make a proper intro OP and that's it
>>332589302Thanks TartifletteIt may not survive /vg/, and there's a severe need of a proper pastebin that's currently a WIP.
One thing I'm worried about is if it survives, it'll turn to degeneracy with nothing but faction shitposting and circlejerking, then all the ship-tan lewds to follow.
>>332590162
>It may not survive /vg/
Fair point.
>all the ship-tan lewds to follow
You say that like it's a bad thing
>>332589302
Some of these threads don't even survive on /v/ and there's not enough content to keep it alive for more than a month or two, so what's the point?
>>332590162
We are too small for that friend, my experience with /vg/ shows that generals turn to shit when they depend too much on game celebrities (star craft, ASSFAGGOTS), lewds (skyrim) or cater to a specifically autistic demographic (/gsg/)
>ship-tan lewds
i'm 100% ok with this
Is there a point to better-trained crew besides increased CR when I have more than I need? Would I have any negative effects besides the CR regen by replacing everyone with greenhorns?
Goddamn, Scy's fluff is great
>>332589302
>>332590108
>>332590162
/vg/ would kill these threads. Let's not do that.
I chuckled.
How does one increase the fleet size? Which file do I edit?
>>332593309
I don't think there's really a point if there's excess. I sell off extra elite crew if it doesn't affect my CR and replace them with regular/recruits if I can get a good price for them. I do this especially in SS+ because paying elite crew salary cuts hard into my bank if I require 2,000+ crew even after the Making Do skill.
>>332593309
Fighters need high CR to field more replacement wings. If you are running a carrier fleet, the Elites crew are a necessity.

>>332582347
Can't the ship quality modifiers be implemented with hullmods? We already have things like XIV in vanilla.
>>332587968
Not by far.
>>332596261
Probably, and adding a duplicate ship with a different ship system shouldn't be too difficult. I think the only issue is how the codex will be spammed with ship variants because of different modifiers for each one. It would be pretty packed if we saw more modifiers than we already have in mods.
>>332597141
Is it not possible to dynamically add the hullmods when ships were spawned?
So now that industry is finally SOON, industry when, you recon?
>>332598903
Maybe Q2 this year, I'm hoping for fighter revamp to come before then.
OK made myself a portrait, now I can be a cool alien!
>>332599769
Q2 literally begins tomorrow.
Someone post Yamato stats screen please.
>>332597398
I don't know at all, I'm no modder and can only speculate. Try asking on the forums in the Modding section to see if its even viable to randomly generate variants like you would fleets but without being a permanent addition.
Sounds like a tremendous workload if it was even possible.
>>332599903
Shit, I thought I said Q3. I still expect any big feature to happen once a year. 3 month deadline to add Industry sounds pretty short, even if it just came with basic features.
>>332599769
Try october/november bro.
>>332600413
Thanks, would you by any chnace have the detailed info as well??
I've downloaded almost all the faction mods
what should I expect, beyond a clusterfuck
>>332594996
Oh shit you have to edit the SS+ file to change fleet size.
I only did it for the vanilla folder.
RIP current save.
>>332594996
doing this will pretty much put your framerate into the trashcan though, right?
Fellow miners, where's your favorite spot to mine? Modded obviously, and Corvus mode as well.
I'm finding myself making profits off of unstable worlds, but just barely. Anyone know some lucrative spots to make some spacebux?
>>332601560
People will hate your guts because you trade with their enemies. With that many factions, each will have a bunch of enemies.
If you play Nexerelin with a faction that follows you, you'll be able to buy ships and equipment from any faction through your home planet, though they'll cycle through every thirty days.
>>332602621
is there any mayor problem with the 7.1 factions or i don't need to worry about crashes
playing ss+
>>332601989
No. If you cannot field them all at once if you don't increase battle size. That can be accessed in game options.
It may still shit up for FPS on campaign map with huge ass fleet flying around.
>>332602807
71a and 72a are mostly the same except for a few UI and balance changes. I am pretty sure 72a mods are backwards compatible to some degrees.
>>332576530
Are you able to copy the blurbs for each mod from their thread on the official forums?
I've never edited a pastebin before, but I'll do it if I'm able.
Do you think the ability to add blinking lights to ships would be added? Would it hinder performance too much? Larger ships could definitely use them.
>>332604182
Ships can already have blinking lights. BRDY has a few ships that have beeps and boops.
>>332602058
Earth Eccentric is the planet type that provides rare ore I believe.
Volatiles often sell for far more than Ore and Organics, so it's a good idea to get those as well.
>>332605123
You have a system name I could find such a planet in?This makes me think it would be neat to have an in-game planetary body repository. Maybe one that records planets as you discover them. Would make exploring more exciting.
When exactly do markets refresh? It's not on the 1st on each month.
>>332605505
I play in Nexerelin and set Max Planet high and number of stations low. Factions tend to spawn on planet with stations and leave some planets mine-able. You can get a nice system with a mine-able watery planet. You can get lobsters at random this way. It is also nice to not have to go to empty systems just to mine. Corvus doesn't appear to have a watery world that is mineable as far as I know. Fuck those Sindrian dicks, they never sell lobsters.
>>332605505
I don't recall where exactly the planet type spawns, or if it's even in Vanilla starsector.
What isn't there a lewd portrait pack out there?

>>332594398

>>332608460
Yes, in \starsector-core\data\characters\person_names.csv

>>332609012

>>332607850
Why would anyone make that? IP mods are the haven of those with no imagination of their own. Those with talent have their own vision and stories typically not wishing to rehash the products of others.
>>332609339
Uh, several of the major mods are already references to another series.
Not that I care for WarHammer 40k. Their art style is shit.
>>332607275
There is. I have a bunch from an h-game, they aren't that lewd though unless 'blushing and smiling a little' is lewd.
>>332609339
because lore wise starsector might was well be pre-imperium mankind

Question for you homies. Once the weekend comes around and I'm done with cancerous school work I plan on playing a ton (finally) and working on my shitty fighter mod.

I have a few ideas written down already and I'm hella excited to start working on them.

fractalsoftworks period com/forum/index.php?topic=177.0
Dick around in SS+ for a bit, get the hang of the basics. It makes the game a bit harder, but adds a few mechanics and rounds the game out a bit more. Get all the utility mods you want. Nexellerin is pretty popular, gives you a concrete win condition and gives it more of a mount & blade feel, faction wars and all that. then install whatever factions look cool with ships you want to fly.

>>332615312
Yeah. It is very nice when you tweak it to your liking.
I recommend changing "maxMarketProcurementConcurrent" to 90 in
starsectorcore/data/configs/settings.json
for vanilla
mods/SSP/data/configs/settings.json
for SSP+.
Trading can be whack in Nexelerin, so increasing procurement mission is a remedy to that.
Corvus Mode in Nexerelin is the vanilla star map.

>>332603452
I've just added that to the pastebin now, or at least tried. Trying to briefly describe a faction and give any pro/con isn't easy. I want to be concise without going something like:
Shadowyards - Original ships/weapons. High tech, mobility focus, decent shields, fragile hulls.
Tiandong - Modified and original ships/weapons.Low/Mid-tech, artillery focus, oversized weapon slots, durable, slower.
Unless I should, and just skip any part of trying to add and failing miserably at briefly touching on their faction background. I'm probably better off not trying to test my writing skills.
>>332621449
Scy: high tech, high flux capacity, low passive vent, high active vent, high burn, low combat speed (mostly), decent bombers, low radar signature, some ships have extra armor pieces.
BRDY: fast active venting, low flux capacity, high combat speed and maneuverability, good alpha strike potential, Achilles MRM is a overall better Salamander, shard weapons deal extra damage to armor and hull

Great ship to pilot, but the AI loves to die in it. I've seen too many SRA fleets bring a couple Mimirs, where they lock drive into a fleet and get surrounded immediately.
Changelog for the next Diable update. I hope it address most of the issues reported, but if you have something else to add, now is a good time to voice it out.
http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=10046.msg185883#msg185883
>>332626274
Make every ship be able to transform. Make it so they can all form up into one big ship. Add anime portraits as avatar for diable.
>>332626503
Great ideas! Going to do that right now!
More seriously, I really need to add portraits at some point, and ship combinations is something that was envisaged, but not for Diable.
>>332626875
For what then?
>>332587968
Because people are tasteless shitstains. The donar and vidar are arguably the best looking mod ships.
>>332587968
Shit taste, mostly.
>>332627038
Scy actually, when we were developing Twiglib with Debido. Something along the lines of a "Frigate Carrier". I would have been able to transport 4 special ships optimized for combat that had 0 burn otherwise, and use them as escort or dock them as additional flux sink and turrets.
>>332626274
Add lewd portraits

>>332627501
Nice idea.
Still I now want a fleet going full GATTAI!
>>332628130
The biggest danger is actually crashing your PC.
Guys, how do make starsector use more memory? It's running like ass when the battles are too big, and I heard that it uses 32bit java, and followed a thread on the forums about it, and now it's just crashing.
>>332628916
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=starsector+ram+64bit
>>332628916
Did you do this?
>http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=8726
If yes, use JRE7 instead.
Are mods a must for this game? or is it enjoyable as vanilla as well?
>>332629464
Yes.
>>332629464
Mods are optional. Better to play the base game first before trying out mods, if you still want to by then.
>>332629286
Aye, that's what I went with. It seems to crash shortly after loading. I'd ask the forum thread but I don't want to ask for tech support on the forum when I'm a filthy pirate. Gonna buy when the industry update comes out.
Love this game but I always get spanked. Never manage to get enough money together to build up a proper fleet and I always end up getting stomped while inches away from having enough to afford that next ship. Wat do?
>>332629957
Did you install mods? I kept crashing because some mods that needed Shaderlib couldn't find it.
>>332630080
Yeah, a ton. It was slowing down the game so I looked up ways to get the game to use more memory. I think the problem might be with how I edited the vmparams file, as it seems to have changed since the OP of that thread.
Poll sites: Shit taste edition.
Enjoy your vote bots, faggot. SHOULD HAVE USED POAL.ME
So i just started this game, got question.
What's the best way for a beginner to rack in dosh fast?
Get few mule ships and do cargo/shipment runs or hunt pirates for bounties?
>>332630293
Thread is fine as all you really need to change are Xms and Xmx. Your text editor might have ruined its formatting though if you really think it got fucked up.
Use JRE7 instead of 8. That fixed my problem before.
>>332630013
be anime
>>332630373
do this
>>332616045
>>332630516
Well, shit. I think I opened it originally with notepad++ and then went to regular notepad. I don't have a backup that hasn't been touched/opened.
>>332630638
How much memory do you have, senpai?
>>332630774
16GB, senpai. I run my browser and other shit in a second monitor, though, so I'd like to have quite a bit to spare.
>>332630774
Memory doesn't affect it as much as a processor to be honest.
>>332630939
I'm on an i7-4790K @4.00GHz. It's definitely not that.
>>332630834
4chan is blocking my embed. I'll try to upload mine. But I can't stress enough how you should totally use 7 instead of jre8 if you're having problem booting the game.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/93wb5j883y2vi80/vmparams
Stheno is so fucking annoying to fight against.
>>332631054
Oh, yeah, I'm using 7. Thanks, senpai.
>>332630080
Can you post the end of your log? Also what are your mods and game versions? (can't help you if we don't know what the error is exactly)
The slowdown might be caused by your drivers. (Or your card if you have an ATI) You can try to disable shaderlib in its settings.json while keeping the mod active.

Nope, still crashing.
>>332631786
One of your mods is meant for Starsector 0.7.2.
>>332631926
Delete your log file. Restart the game. Then paste that log file on pastebin or something.
How fucked am I?
Can I only hope to survive with all ships and get the Onslaught last?
It's fucking armed to the teeth.
>>332632153
You could just tell all your ships to focus on the onslaught and hope you can overload it.
Otherwise I'd just get the fuck out of there.
>>332631987
Goddamn, the paste's too big for pastebin.
>>332632153
>Mjollnir loadout
Sheeeit, son. Not looking good. You can surround it and probably take it down but prepare to lose some of your ships.
>>332632354
Even after you deleted its previous entries?
>>332632153
That's not so bad, put a AVOID order on the Onslaught to keep your frigates away, dispatch the small fry, then gang up on the big baddie.
>>332632354
Only the last couple dozen of lines are necessary.
>>332629464
They are pretty much a must. There isn't anything to do in vanilla otherwise.
>>332632461
This. Learning to use Avoid orders can save your day
>>332632153
Also, use 3. Attempt to disengage. Sometimes the AI would deploy less against retreating enemy
>>332632458
Aye, straight up deleted every .log file there was. Still 3,705 KB.
>>332632461
http://pastebin.com/jjm5PBw6
>>332632461
Didn't know you could issue avoid orders.
Thanks.
>>332632343
The only way to overload it would probably be to use my torpedos and supercharge my flagship at the same time while avoiding his fire.
And getting the fug out is impossible since emergency burn is on CD and he's blasting at me full speed from my save point.
>mfw
>>332632440
Mjollnir loadout? I'm completely new so I don't really know how I should build my fleet.
>>332632812
He's talking about the weapons on the Onslaught. Mjolnir Cannon is considered one of the best large weapons and is very effective even in AI hands.
>>332632761
Heh, that error isn't really helpful. If you can't get the launcher at all it does seems like a corrupted vmparam, or you didn't properly replaced the jre with java 64.
>>332632812
There's sort of a small cooldown between when a ship can try to engage you again on the world map after a fight.
You could use that time to escape.
Should I save money to buy the overprice POS?
>>332633137
One of the best IBB ships, and maybe the best destroyer. Totally worth the price.
>>332633097
I can get the game to launch, it just crashes immediately after loading everything, right before it hits the main menu.
>>332633117
There is nothing like this available right now. I either have to duke it or retreat in shame.
>>332633062
Oh, is it those laser burst canons? They're ripping me apart.
>>332633237
Humm, that might be an outdated mod then, or you are missing one of the required utility mods like Lazylib, Shaderlib or TwigLib.
>>332633432
The only thing I can think of is recently updating shaderlib and dropping the 'deluxe' settings in.
Combat chatter had made it crash in the past, but that's been disabled for a while now.
>>332633303
No; those are Onslaught's built-in weapons called Thermal Pulse Cannon
>>332633432
>>332633590
Yeah, that's gotta be it. Does anyone have the 0.7.1a-RC5 version of shaderlib?
>>332633965
Why are you playing outdated version m8
New SCY sprites when?
>>332633986
it was the version that was posted in a mediafire link in a /v/ thread a few weeks ago, wanted to try the game out before actually buying
gonna wait for the next big update though
I just got this game. Is there a list of mods somewhere?

>>332633965
Nope, that wasn't it either. Downgraded to the previous shaderlib version and it's still crashing.
I started yesterday and now have 1.1 million cash. I joined some Tri Something faction I believe and bought their destroyer ship. But lately it doesn't cut it anymore. Do I go with the huge ass 400k+ mega ship or is there something better? My fleet fully employed eats over 80 units, but I only have 80 deploy points. How do I increase that?
>>332635138
Leadership skill
>>332635125
Then I really don't know. I suggest reinstalling everything cleanly (backup your saves!).
>>332635138
>I only have 80 deploy points
How many deploy points you have is decided by the force ratio of your fleet and the enemy fleet. The more ship you bring, the more you can deploy
>>332635489
Ahh, screw it. I sprung for the legal version of the game so I'll be up to date. Backed up my mods folder so I can remember what to grab, of course, but...easier on my conscience this way, dev seems like a bro.
>>332635613
You made the right decision m8
>>332635663
Woo...time to reinstall aaaaalll the fucking mods I had.
the fuck do I put on the desdinova for AI?
>>332635970
Probably won't work. Mobility ship systems generally don't do well in AI hands, and Desdinova has crap inertia
>>332633859
>built in
they tore me apart.
Managed to get away though.
>>332633137
>>332633229
Never found it particularly strong desu, its front damage consists of i think 4 smalls and 2 mediums. Gorgon feels stronger desu.
Why are we killing this bro :<
Your fleet possibly can't be as cute as mine
>>332638661
That's pretty neat
>>332635970
Desdinova is a great player ship, load shard cannons on it and be carefull with your flux.
That's what I use and anything under a destroyer just gets overwhelmed.
What's your favorite flagship? Mine is probably Nevermore
Barely started, got 4 ships atm Bounty Hunter start.

>>332640175
Don't spend all your money at once; you need money to buy supplies
And Medusa is pretty supply heavy
>>332640337
I got 200k since like 4 pirate fleets decided to attack me near Jomunga spec station.
And i'm doing mostly bounty hunting and pirate killing since i'm fairly new to the game.
>>332628176
I want to form Voltron and SRX.
>>332640413
Sounds like you've got enough money. Sure, go ahead
>>332628916
Giving it more memory doesn't help much for performance, just for actually being able to run
>>332637596
But it almost has Cruiser level stats, a tough 360 shield and a lot of OP to spare.
2 Small Needlers,
2 Heavy Blasters,
1 Salamander to the rear,
a medium Reaper tube to the front (typhoon? i forgot)
small laser PD on the rest,
and you got yourself a nice little murder machine.

Are you using an AMD Gpu? OpenGL makes this game shit the bed
>>332640623

>>332633137
Probably the best destroyer in the entire game. If you can buy that and capture the other, you basically have won the game due to how overpowered they are.

It's a medium sized laser weapon that has 1000 DPS and 1000 flux per second, if I recall correctly.
>>332641163
That just seems like over kill.
>>332640623
Well, fuck.
>>332641501
Yeah it's unfortunate, no idea why.
>>332641397
Overkill is code for 'exactly as much as I should have'.
>>332641841
A fair point.
>>332641675
Shitty drivers apparently, and the more recent ones made things worse.
>>332642487

>>332650064
I don't know mane. I'd almost prefer not being able to see every single weapon on the ship.
By they way. Mjolnir cannons or ballistic canons on my Onslaught? I'm leaning towards three Mjolnir.
>>332650148
It has always been the work of one dev with the help of an art guy and a musc guy. It's probably not the game you are thinking about.
>>332650258
Mjolnir are pretty GOAT unless you get silly mod shit
>>332650316
you are probably right
>>332650049
Apparently it's getting a better shield instead, and get cheaper.

So if I start as my own faction and take a commission just because fuck I need ships, can I drop it and go my own way again later? Will it tank that faction standing?
>>332653681
Small procurement missions or unamed bounties.
>>332653681
You should work on getting some additional ships, like a Lasher or two to back you up.
So is this like FTL with better graphics?
>>332653681
The answer is simple. First you save up for another wofl, then another, and anotherand you never stop
>>332653681
Get some frigates and start doing 20k bounties.
That's what I did and I started growing relatively fast.
Now I'm unstoppable.
>>332654213
No, not really. I would not compare this at all with FTL. It's a complete different type of game, the only similarity is that they are set in spess.
As multiple people have said, it's more like Mount and Blade in space.
>>332654383

>mfw I need to invest in fucking tugs to get my burn up.
>>332654763

>>332655573

Not at all. Stheno has better stats in all aspects except for a slight lag in top speed and non-full shield arc.

I would ditch the freighters and tugs if I were you. You can't possibly need that much cargo space that early. Just grab a cerberus or two if you want space, they are cheap, easy to find, have high burn and provide decent cargo.
>>332656501
>this one is about to hit the bump limit
Yeah, fucking 150 posts later. The way these circlejerk threads are going that will take like 8 hours.
This alt-meme anime masturbator meme can't be real right? Right?
>>332656380
>Stheno has better stats in all aspects
Did you even look at the image? Gorgon is significantly smaller, faster, has 5 forward offensive mediums and a 360 shield as opposed to the sthenos 180. Same max/vent flux, same shield-flux ratio. As i said, it's a straight upgrade and there is literally zero room for "discussion" over the matter.
>>332656501
>Holy shit did robert morrow really tweet that?

>Desdinova has more OP than the SRA Light Cruiser
Something doesn't seem right here
>>332659143
Desdinova's designation is heavy destroyer. Ship class is blurry anyways
If I try to fly Tyr or Forseti cruisers of the NGO, the game crashes. I don't know if it applies to any other ship.
I wonder why. The AI can fly them without any problems.
>>332640108
Depends on how im feeling about my fleet at the time. But i have to agree, Nevermore is best flagship.
>>332658403
Did you read the red line under the download link that indicate SS+ won't work if you don't increase the memory alocation and link to a thread to do just that?
>>332659143
OP amounts are heavily dependent on the number of weapons, and the Desdinova has a lot.
Is there a way to harvest stuff for delivery missions or do i need to have the dosh to buy the goods?
>>332659125
what, does he just invalidate the specific ones he sees posted as "public keys"?

>>332661526
Industry is probably likely to include the ability for the player to possess stations or colonies in some form and use them to create items, weapons, and ships. It will also very likely necessitate the player being able to utilize and influence the various planetary conditions and make those economic conditions more subject to change than they currently are.
It's been strongly desired for a long while now and it's anticipated to be the next major release goal, so it's coming up a lot.

Dude, SS+ is harder, and it's an option to start at level 6 with 50k instead of level 1 with like 10k.
>>332662551
Sure it is sweetcheeks, atleast you can tell that to yourself.
>>332660756
The reason it's not a cruiser is because it would be retarded with cruiser-grade ITU
>>332662532
Oh ok so yea it literally is eve 2D except with more gameplay. I always did enjoy eve but wished it had more 'gameplay' to it.
>>332662742
If EVE is your only point of reference for what this game is, then you're a fucking scrub.
>>332649873
Two new factions: Free Planets Alliance and the Lohengramm Dynasty, boss ships like Yang's Ulysses and Reinhard's flagship. The raddest shit.
>>332656627
I dunno man. I fill my cargo space just by taking loot from battles. I have two tugs right now and 8 burn.
And my fleet is pretty much unstoppable right now.

>>332664134
I'm always so tempted to install mods, but the ships seem out of place and tend break the balance.
>>332664297
Aslong as you face equally powerful ships I don't see the problem.
I'll probably install some of these mods when i'm finished with vanilla.
>>332663247
why?
>>332664527
There are like two decades of 2D space games preceding this one.
>>332664431
And have every other faction get run over?
>tfw Neutrino corp was one of the first corps to fall
>tfw Neutrino capital ships are the coolest and you're finally in the market to get one
>tfw neither my 2 Prism Freeports it the Imperial Space Market will spawn one for me
Do I have to some how modify files in order to make Neutrino capitals appear? I've only ever seen the unsung, but I know they have at least 3 others.
>>332665518
I beat the fuck out of Approlight with this fleet. I've taken all their planets and told them to fuck off.
I never liked any of their capitals or cruisers, so I stole some destroyers and had them made in the Omnifactory if I ever really want them. Fuck Approlight.
>>332665648
install console commands and cheat it in.
>>332665518
>aslong as you face equally powerful ships
Dis implies that other factions have powerful ships aswell.
I assumed that mods didn't cover single factions.
Is Nexerelin any good?
>>332665648
>2 Prism Freeports
gee bill, your mom lets you have 2 prism freeports?
>>332665964
I have console command installed for hard-save transfers in case the game bugs out, but I'm not aware what lines of code I can add in order to make ships appear in markets. Care to lend a hand?
>>332666090
While Appro can eat up Diable fleets because Approlight insta-gibs anything that's a frigate or less (in this case, Wanzers) a combined fleet of ships can fuck Approlight up. Neutrino comes to mind, Scy maybe, and of course Templars. Templars are far worse than Approlight.
>>332666135
I set it so that Freeport should be in Hyperspace, and luckily it spawned right beside the Corvus system between Rock and Duhzak or whatever. When I flew over to Tartarus though, I found a second Freeport in the star sector's solar space. It has a lot less product because no one goes to the very edge of the map to do any trading, but it exists.
>>332666135
One is added by the Scy faction itself and is always in the system it adds. The other (not shit one) is added by ss+
>freeport mission to deliver x of y item
>freeport has plenty to buy
>free instant money
Sure thing.
>>332666125
yeah I like it
>>332666409
>>332666618
thanks for the explanation. I only play Nexerelin anymore so that might be why I didnt get 2
>>332650481
>all those nerfs
Holy shit. Although I agree on the Pandemonium one.
SEND HELP
>>332667014
Where'd you get that animation from?
>>332667350
What's the problem anon, all I see is free bounty money.
>>332667493
I'm level 2 with a single frigate
Was calmly gaining money in tutorial system when suddenly 2 pirate megafleets came in and whooped the floor with hegemony
they are coming for me now
>i'm too insignificant for the pirate fleet to want me
thank you, merciful god
>>332667359
dunno the mod's fucking forum thread
>>332667828
I though they added an in-game cutscene. What a shame.
Did someone make a dickship mod yet?
>>332663859
>1.2 million bounty
>Enter the system
>About to attack the fleet
>The faction that posted the bounty has declared war on your alliance
>>332669852
Yes. Shadowyards.
Any good music mods?
>>332670454
do not lewd the mimir
>>332664297
Blackrock Drive Yards, Diable Avionics, Interstellar Imperium, Metelson Industries, New Galactic Order, Scy, Shadowyards Reconstruction Authority, and Tiandong Heavy Industries are all pretty well balanced in regards to vanilla. Neutrino isn't outright broken without the special ships(Unsung/Falken mainly), but it's still noticeably stronger than the others. Approlight shits on the concept of balance outright. Knights Templar are a "boss faction", and are good if you need some really hard enemies to spice the game up.
>>332671116
Shut off IG music and put on the Deus Ex HR/Frozen Synapse soundtrack. From Television I recommend Cliff Martinez' OST for The Knick.
Trust me.
>>332671390
Junk Pirates also fit in with vanilla balance.
>>332666748
That's a vanilla bug with hyperspace stations... Turns Diable stations in cash machines.
>>332671535
Except for the fucking Grapeshot.
I can't seem to make money hunting pirates
What do I do? I'm slowly running out
>>332671535
Go fight Clams in a frigate
>>332671907
This.
>3OP
>damage to two-shot frigates
>>332672158
does the sector have a bounty?
>>332672158
Only fight pirates when there are active per-kill bounties. Otherwise, fight named pirate bounty fleets (the two are NOT the same thing)
>>332672368
>>332672289
how do i earn money when not through bounty?
Can't get off the system yet
>>332672158
For none bounty fleet, just a general systems' bounty.
Don't hang around in hyperspace, waste fuel.
Don't use Emergency Burn, waste supplies and fuel.
Must have 10 burn or more. Otherwise, you are never going to catch them.
This means if you want to profit of general bounties, you must run in a small fleet with frigates and/or fighters. Otherwise, don't bother hunting stragglers with a huge ass armada. It is not profitable.
not much going on...
>>332674490
What game is this?
>>332674490
Kill them all anon.
>>332675045
EVE Online.

IT'S PRETTY MUCH NOTHING BUT I'M EXCITED ANYWAYS

It's Midgard
How hard is it to get into that game and move on to captial ships?
>>332676837
TECH-MINING!
Every time i've tried to start the game and engaged some pirates, my ship has been so fucking slow to move and turn that i can't even catch them, and every time i've just quit because the combat feels so frustrating.
>>332676837
>atmospheric battles
>aerodynamic ships have an advantage
>slower acceleration, faster deceleration

>>332678398
Use unstable injectors on a decent speed frigate. Rank up helmsmanship early.
>>332678516
Oh, I forgot my pic I was supposed to post in the first place.
so many frigates... it's slaughter time
>>332678516
Ready for the Interstellar Imperium to fuck up some planets.
>>332674490
>FPS: 60
how
I'd get 20 fucking fps in a situation like that
How do I know when there's a general system bounty?
>be a smuggler
>get pulled over because my transponder was off for 0.5 seconds
>not carrying anything illegal so let them scan
>they still fine me because "my cargo amount is suspicious"
the crime life is a hard life
does having more than one mining laser do anything?
>>332680995
More mining lasers and blasters = more ore from mining (Nexerelin only)
More mining ships does the same, although you don't really need them to mine.
>>332680995
In Nex, each laser adds to the mining strength of the fleet.
>start a game as BRDY
>suck ass with the starter frigate
Fuck.
ok, mining is just waiting to lose money over accidents
no system bounty and can't leave the system without multiple ships or i'll get raped
how am I supposed to make cut even? Closest thing to a bet unless Corvus gets ass raped by pirates and miraculously takes another system bounty is smuggling hidden caches in mining
>>332658437
>ALL BATTERIES FIRE, FIRE!!!!!
>>332683264
which one?
>>332680901
>getting pursued by some tiny Hegemony patrol in my fleet of 5+ battleships and a dozen superfreighters
>100/100 cooperative with Hegemony, part of the faction
>Invading planets as I assassinate targets, passed by some markets to resupply
>Patrol finds my supplies and marines suspicious
What a cunt
>>332683947
The Mantis. Gets quickly overwhelmed by just two ships at once, and even pirates can outrun my ship in combat, so I end up having to chase them around.
Maybe i'm just bad, but this has been much more difficult than any other start i've done.
>>332684501
>outrun
>mantis
Nigga what.
>>332684501
Start with the moderate one. Scorpion is a very good ship, and Weevil is alright I guess.
Mantis is a good ship but it lacks heavy punches and relies on pilot skill more than most frigates due to how tiny it is.
NEW AND IMPROVED
NEW AND IMPROVED
>>332684923
Playing right now and I struggled for 5 minutes just to keep up with a single Lasher. It was constantly staying right outside the range of my guns.
I need to find a better loadout for this thing.
>>332684501
Are you venting often and using the ship system?
>>332685559
Easiest way is to just mount some ballistic PD, a ferrogun and shard cannons.
>>332685393
FUCK I FORGOT THE EXTRA HP
>>332650181
i'll help you with one
>>332688657
oops wrong guy >>332649870
How is it this is the biggest thread on /v/ right now? Not saying its a bad thing, i like that the game is getting attention.
>>332689178
Starsector stronk
Also it did almost take us a day to get here.
>>332689178
It'll die soon, then we'll see if we can make another thread hit bump limit. Starsector threads can be slow but steady. I didn't expect this one to last.
It used to be more lively when Approchan popped up and rage ensued.
>>332690885
I dont think we're gonna make it anon
>>332569379
So the dev is Toady lite?
