SS+ has updated.
Roman Empire IN SPACE has updated. Mainly updated sounds and ship sprites.
Scy has also updated.
>YOUR DICK WHEN XIV CONQUEST
Fabulous
Bump
Can you post the new bounty ships please?
>>333049054
Did SCY get the new sprites?
Also gonna guess there isn't even a point trying to update a mod without starting a new campaign, right?
>>333050297
BAM
I really like this game but >26 fps in large battles is just too much
>>333049054
Fuck and I just started new game. How did that save transfer thing work?
>>333050297
BOOM
>>333050720
No, not yet.
>>333050297
POW
>>333049054
And Diable updated two days ago, Templars and Nexerelin also updated today.
Tiandong never
New SRA sprites never
>>333051053
How does this compare to the Diable Avionics Pandemonium ship?
>>333051307
I think it's a cruiser
Why doesnt this game have a kickstarter or is on steam greenlight or something?
>>333051053
sexy beast
>>333052010
>Steam
"When it's done!"
>>333051053
Is this SS+ only?
>>333052601
You can console command it if you don't use SS+, but the only legitimate way to get it is to fight the SS+ famous bounty with it.
Damn, my shitty PC can only handle Nexerelin.
Oh well.
I'm starting to feel the bern of supply cost. I tried to save Neutrino because Tri-Jews have been kicking their ass and they only had 2 bases left but I still wanted a Diable/Neutrino alliance to happen. Unfortunately it made half the galaxy pissed off at me. They've been intercepting me on my way to IBBs.
>>333053127
Did you set up game use more memory?
>>333053127
Did you tried to adjust the performanceSettings.json in the SS+ folder and the shaderSettings.json in Shaderlib's? The lowest setting shouldn't make much difference with vanilla.
>>333052010
Alex doesn't want your hobo money or the stress.
>>333053127
Everyone's PC can't handle all the mods combined. SS+, especially. The game needs a dozen optimization pass.

>XIV CONQUEST

IT HURTS
IT BURNS
>>333053442
>SS+/shaderlib ruin the performances
And that's why there are FAQs and big bold red texts explaining that you can change a lot of settings to improve the performances. There is even a thread dedicated to troubleshooting in the support section of the forum and different presets bundled with shaderlib.
>>333053585
Try http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=10931.0
>>333053741
I've already done that, senpai. Point is game can't handle rendering more than 20 sprites at a time.
>>333053127
Yes, and I got 6gb of RAM. But everything gets so sluggish, especially in hyperspace. Where my FPS goes down like crazy, even with craptop settings.
I know it shouldn't, but my only guess it's because fleet activity increases as well. If there was a way to reduce it.
>>333053947
SS+ spawns 90 fleets in-game at a time, I think.
>>333053741
I've got only 2gb
It's useless to try
Go on without me
>>333051053
>>333052213
This is still the best looking ship
>>333054220
I bought extra RAM just so I can shitpost and play the game at the same time. It's worth it.
>>333054296
I'm going to marry Pandemonium!
>>333050879
this
>>333053890
Okay, but then you must have troubles running vanilla as well. With every options turned off SS+ has more or less the same impact than most faction mods (In combat at least) The only major different factor with SS+ and many mods is the memory required.
>>333053947
Try reducing the number of fleets in Starsector Plus/data/config/settings.json
And you can experiment with other values too.
>>333054220
I'll tell them you tried your best and fall honorably!
>>333054358
>I bought extra RAM
What? Is something like this possible? Do you buy some plastic box of ram and connect it with a USB or something?
>>333054296
Diable ships are just sexy by nature. So is Neutrino's. Nigga knows how to not turn his sprites into a mess unlike 90% of the ships in-game.
>>333053947
don't bother, no matter what you change the game will run like shit because it's most likely your GPU not having proper support for java/opengl
>>333054296
Does this thing have a flight deck?
>>333054528
I paid some ruskies and they gave me a key to download some extra RAM.
If I buy a copy now, will I get a steam version later?
>>333051053

Please tell me that's a battleship sized Calm. Please.
>>333054639

Alotta folk bought into this SEVERAL years ago.
I know I did. Shit, I bought into this a couple years before my 1st son was born.
>>333054296
This ship having basically just 2 layers of depth is what makes it feel so nice to look at
Aside from the technical work being top notch that is
>>333054629
Yes, I'm stuck with Nexerelin until I force myself to buy a better computer. It's ok though, I'm having fun.
>>333054884
it's not even your computer being shit, it's just the opengl support being shit
I can run modern titles maxed out no problem but starsector just drops to a fucking slideshow when shit shits the fan
>>333054649
I'm being serious anon.
>>333054718
>>333054850
Perfect. I can charge enemies while gouging daggers at them.
Speaking of which, AFAIK the expanded flight deck hullmod from SS+ gave you -50% refit time for increased supply cost, as well as a hefty OP cost, right? Or was it 30%? I'm gatting my numbers mixed up.
>>333054965
>>333054965
This, so much this.
I can play 45FPS near-max settings Black Ops 3 on my 2011 Shitbox.
But Starsector is consistently a fucking gimp fist fight after an hour or 3.
How do I get lots of money in this game? I repeatedly get raped by massive fleets because the range for multiple fleets to join battle against mine is apparently huge
Tell Nexerelin dude to add a way to tell your faction to not fuck shit up while I try to salvage a relationship with another faction. Them trying to fund terrorists while I do trade missions or whatever is fucking us all up.
Also, being able to gift stations/bases to allied factions would be nice.

>>333055115

That is the kind of feature that get problematic to implement because the UI isn't moddable at all.
I keep seeing threads about this game and it seems cool.
Is there a mega link anywhere?

>There are many contradictory stories about the creation of the Gulf, but the least grandiose one, and likely the closest to the truth speaks about a genius hacker. This anonymous individual has said to have been an idealist that despised the attitude of the Diable Avionics' military and the blind eye the other citizens turned to their exactions. Anxious to leave them, (s)he managed to defeat the corporation's security protocols and accessed the AI of their Autofactory. From there (s)he attempted to start the production of a vessel (s)he could commandeer to escape, but instead botched the process and corrupted the UAC's data. The factory ended up producing a chimera of a monstrosity that is part Gust, part Calm, and part Haze... That surprisingly turned out to be space-worthy, and even more baffling: quite dangerous in combat. The ship was immediately seized by the authorities but the story never tells if the hacker got caught. Public records mention it went missing in action during cycle 188 while on a secret convoy raiding campaign during the Hegemony/Tri-Tachyon Second AI War.

Potential buyfag here. Can I send boarding parties to take over enemy ships in this game? If yes, is it practical and/or useful?
Does it still require Java?
I want to check this out but Java is a dealbreaker
>>333057536
I agree that they have questionable guns. For example, the saggitarious ADC or whatever. That medium mount fragmentation typd minigun. What's the point of that thing? Almost all of Imp ships have them yet they are nately useful.
>>333057772
Nothing to lose. Also,your faction a shit.
>>333057894
Yeah, same for stations and planets but for ships its not the useful. Only once you beat the ship can you sometimes board it to take it for yourself but the ship is unusable really, at least in my buggy old version game.
>>333057949
Their ships might be great when outfitted with weapons from other factions, but at the hands of AI they get stomped by everything.
>>333057894
It's random. After combat, you can randomly board ships that is 'alive and is doing emergency repairs to get away'. You can buy marines to board them, but you can't gutantee a chance to board the ship itself(I heard that it's anout 3% or so, but it surely feels muc more frequent than that, as I gan get to board one every 1~3 battles). The success chance is based on your number of marines vs enemy crew.
Just went and bought the Pandemonium since so many of you fags creampie your asses for that shit.
How should I outfit it? I have tons of cash and no idea what to do.
>>333057927
It will always require Java, anon. Engine is coded from it.
>>333057894
Slightly RNG on the chance you can board a ship once you've turned it into scrap. Even then it's not worth the hassle to repair it unless it's a good ship you want. Also, the boarding part isn't very involved. It's practically a one click text adventure.
>>333057894
Boarding is only relevant against unique ships, because it gives 100% boarding chance after defeating their fleets. Otherwise its really rare thing to happen.
>>333057949
The Saggitarius does so much burst damage it can kill cruisers in one go if you combo with HE. Also reks fighters.
Why do some of my fighter wings "retreat from battle" even if they still have replacement craft remaining? I didnt order them to do that either.
>>333058313
Go to freeport and load up on as much templar weapons and tachyon lances you can find.
Done!
>>333058539
They probably ran out of CR.
From dying too much. I believe.
>>333057545Link?
>>333058313
Same with every super slow big ass capital ship. A couple of kinetics then a bunch of long range laser beams
>>333058449
You know, considering that, wouldn't it be useful to only cruisers and capitals? Since they would be able to equip other weapons to lower shields and crack armor while holding on to the saggitarius.
>>333058640
In the screen right after a battle it still shows them with a bunch of remaining CR, which is why I am so confused.
>>333058656https://www.4shared.com/archive/FmONLyGSba/com.html
>>333057991

>>333058812

Early adopters bought a DRM free version to be delivered through the company's site. They got that and should continue getting that in the future.

You can get an average of +3 relations per station/planet bounty kills. Take out something big, like a pirate bounty in that system and you can get +5, seperate from the fleet bounty itself. Just be patient, I worked myself out of vengenful this way. Having a strong fleet helps since that means that independent patrols will actively avoid you.

You'd need to modify the mod to not use a .jar to store data and then unpack the source files into a standard directory format, or use an IDE to compile your own .jar

That imply extracting the source of the hullmod script, modify it and finally recompile the mod.

Go into the mod folder for the imperium guys and go to data then weapons then open in notepad ++ the weapons data csv file, should be at the very end
search for the weapons you mainly use and change the the projectile speeds to be higher so counteract the penalty
At the top of the file you will see what each number means. Pay attention because beams and regular projectiles have different things.

>After the collapse of Domain, during the time when Tri-Tachyon Corporation was expanding, a group of employees of the corporation discovered a very powerful energy source - Deuterium-antideuterium Reactor(DaDR) by pure coincidence. It's not radioactive and extremely efficient. The blueprint is very complex and written in an unrecognized language. If it is fully translated, the technology on the blueprint could reshape the whole world the same way as Industrial Revolution did. Beside the blueprint of DaDR, some other mysterious technologies were discovered as well. It was believed that the technologies must be developed by aliens. These group of people did not disclosed their findings, they chose to hide the secrets from the rest of the world, they chose to wait.
>They stood out among the others with the "unknown knowledge", they became high ranking officers, department heads and generals in Tri-Tachyon Corporation. Truth Originem, the leader of the group, created the puppet regime known as Spectre Nexus in order to seize control of the corporation. They also worked closely with the scientists from Hegemony who have access to the ancient technologies. However Truth Originem's ambition was far beyond Tri-Tachyon Corporation's expectation, he used media and with his blood and iron policy, he cut their loose from Tri-Tachyon Corporation. With the help of a Hegemony oligarchy family, Truth Originem founded the Council of Approach Light secretly. The council was in a awkward situation at the beginning, when the pirates disclosed its presence, many factions sanctioned and attacked the council. Against all odds, the council survived, with the latter help of Borken Foundation, the council expanded fast and became a powerful corporation seizing control of advanced technologies.

Nevermind, I'm just gonna buy the damn game. I knew I wanted it ever since I saw the ship with a GIANT FUCKING HAMMER on it.
>>333068528
Just letting you know that's a mod ship, a joke one at that.
>>333068691
Well that's not the only reason I'm buying it. I just wanted a demo, but the way people are talking about the game it's definitely legit. Worst case scenario, I can't buy lunch for two days.
>>333068281
AFAIK it was in since 7.1 competable SS+ anon.

Once you start playing starsector you probably won't remember to get up and eat anyway for at least a month
>>333069153
Ah. I guess I should try taking on higher-level bounties, then.
Any other faction mods with ships similar to SS+ Pirates? This aesthetic is fucking great, but there's not enough of them. And I want to have an even bigger rustbucket than Infernus

Here's the keygen for the newest version for those folks who wanted it. No idea how to use it tho.
I just want a high as fuck DPS long range constant beam of rape and murder with a high turn rate so I can wipe out all fighters and frigates in an instant in one 360 motion
>>333070554
Its time to make it a mod.I use the Juger Heavy Canon as a substitute for that, not a beam tho.
>>333070046
I was going to say that, but I couldn't remember the name of the battleship and gave up. Thanks man.
>>333070106
A payment is payment. Having some sort of income, however small it is, sounds nice. And you get to use computers during work!
>>333069934
Back then, I remember it being one or two(possibly three) bounties after the unique eagle bounty (the red flaming one with four small foward ballistucs that belongs to the bounty hunter). Maybe I'm wrong, but it definitely showed up after at least 6~10 IBB kills.
>>333070554
Maybe try a mix of HIL and tachyon lance?
>>333069934
Also, on a second note, I remember it being a shoddy megacarrier. With like 4 flight decks, the description saying "a poor man's atlas" and all that.
Speaking of which, you should be able to find the IBB ships on the codex. The descriptions might be classified for some ships, but you can still access their stats and appearances.
>>333071094
>>333071409
Ah, okay.
Highest board bounty I've pursued is the one with the Pony Mule? I think.
Reminder that holding shift while travelling speeds up time.
Reminder that holding shift while buying things will produce a slider for you to use.
Reminder that ctrl+clicking an item automatically puts the whole stack in the opposite inventory without having to drag to other side. For example, 20 metal ores from your hull inventory to a trade station and vice versa. Still need to confirm trade, of course.
Reminder that hunter kill fleets will always track you no matter how hard you hide, but you can escape them easily by running them through hostiles or warping out.
Reminder to use agents to boost your relations and ruin others. Relation ruining is randomized out of your faction's enemies or neutrals.
>SS+ update
>Mjolnir flux cost increased to 587/sec
Shit, not too big of a nerf at least. Is it worth having more than one Storm Needler now?
>>333071916
Wow, that's like the third one, and there is 30 of them.
>>333072271
Yeah.
Every time I get a super huge fleet I forget to chase bounties
Every time I remember to chase bounties, I have yet to build up a warfleet
>>333072175
And the Storm Needler got a buff! I guess they are both good alternatives now.
When updating mods, are you able to continue your save or do you need to do a save transfer?
>>333073856
Depends on the mods. SS+ and Nexerelin require a new start I believe, but the factions are probably okay.
>>333073157
I wish the Storm Needler had a more beffy sound.
It sounds puny.
>>333074083
Well fuck, and those two are what I just updated.
>>333074136
Save Transfer is quite painless to use once you get used to it.
So, no keys yet ? I wanna try it before I buy it.

>he doesn't start off as a single ship, building up an empire from scratch
>>333077171
A large kinetic space shotgun. its pretty good at forcing shields down so it can do bonus damage no armor/hull, its pretty great. Haven't found a ship yet that can take both Ironwaver ADC and Scatter CEPCs in an agile cruiser for maximum space shotgun action.

I'm used to stalker logs. Sorry for that. Game crashed when using Appro-light ships. Was using 0.6. I upgraded to .7 and everything is fine.
>>333078881
>>333079207
Disregard this, I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling all of them.
>>333078881
>>333079207
That or make sure you removed the old folder before extracting the new version.
>>333079446
Yeah, I haven't worked with mods since Zero Hour.
Gotta remember the basics.
I'm going to try tinkering with the settings with all these new updates on a new save. What's the highest level an officer can go to? I'm fine with raising it if AI fleets get the same benefits. Absolute max level should be 36 for officers right? If I remember correctly it should go 1, 4, 7 then 10. I remember there being 9 skills, correct me if I'm wrong:
Combat Aptitude, Damage Control, Evasive Action, Gunnery Implants, Helmsmanship, Missile Specialization, Ordnance Expertise, Power Grid Modulation, and Target Analysis.
I've also increased procurement missions to 75, and max officers for hire to 45. I think default was 35 and 30 respectively. Anything else I should do? I'm fine with vengeful fleets, but I don't know if I agree with being limited to a fleet of 250 supplies/month just yet. Starting a new save after all, so I'll let that stay for now.
I'm hoping with increased missions and officers it will put off the huge lack of cloned organs in my sector, since about half my missions before were for something that's hardly obtainable unlike harvested organs.

>>333056796
>tfw same patrol officer every time
>>333058813
They got wiped out while the flight deck was already packed with squads waiting in line. It is a consequence of not having too much fighters and not enough flight deck.
Can be avoided in 2 ways. Get more flight deck fielded during battle. Or set a repair and regroup point with "V" on tactical map for them to retreat after 1 member got shot down and not linger around to be wiped out.

RC3. You can literally download the full locked version from the official website. However, the guy who made the game probably have to pay bandwidth per download. Do what you will.
>>333089309
>locked version
no way to get a code? Does the RC1 one work?
>>333088637
I always destroy shitty mod frigates and such in bounties that have boardable cap ships.
>>333088637
If only you could board more than one ship per battle.
>>333089715
make it happen bro
>no more Prism Freeport right in the middle of the cluster
Fuck
>>333089884
I wonder if its even possible, it seems like it could be.
>all disabled ships get a rare chance at coming back online, higher chance for bigger/IBB ships
>your fleet size, burn speed and marine count factors how many ships you can board at once
>if any unboarded ships remain due to time restraints, last resort option is to finish them off or let them go
I imagine you shouldn't be able to board every ship you run by since everyone would flee if given the opportunity, at the expense of their former comrades. It could be more likely if troop transports became more useful, receiving a hullmod to increase boarding opportunities to some sort of soft/hard cap. Wishful thinking since I'm no modder, even though I'd like to start making some ships like some other anons have been doing.
But this would make for one hell of a pirate looting spree for a fleet of frigates.
>>333089715

>>333091116
>tfw random location for Omnifactory put it in Hybrasil and Acheron is 3.5 light years away from it
RNG has blessed my new save, but I'll still miss Freeport being in the middle of everything.
>>333091116
>>333092373
>tfw comfy as fuck Prism in the middle of the map with 3-4 other systems that are all friendly one of which is my home system
Too fucking cozy. Venturing towards the fringe systems is creepy, did twice, once I found a completely empty system with only dead planets, the other it was some shithole filled with pirates and shitty angry manlet factions.
>>333092809
I remember a previous save had Acheron far south of Arcadia, it was the opposite of fun and it felt like everything was fucking dead there. If there was an alien faction that prowls at the outskirts of the sector and lives in the deep hyperspace edge I'd be getting raped every time I want to go to Tartarus/Acheron.
>>333091586
I don't think it does anything for capturing multiple ships, just make certain ships like IBB 100% chance to board and give more salvage items.
Is boarding completly random? Playing with vanilla game atm.
>>333094125
Mostly. If the ship is disabled and not blown to smitheroons then you have a chance.
>>333093673
Multiple ship boarding would require entirely rewriting the Vanilla battle outcome script. And that also probably means incompatibility with SS+.

Junk Pirates does it a bit
Wait, so Acheron can spawn in random locations in Corvus mode? Or am I just misinterpreting?
Also, who else pirate life here? Started a random map Nex game and my starting system has 4 pirate bases, 2 of which are military bases. I've only got a small SCY gunship, but I'm having a blast leading pirate raiding fleets around and wrecking havoc.
>>333091116
Damn son, now I can't make easy money anymore.
>>333097094
In all the saves I've made, Acheron is in some random place and I don't know if there's a way so its not just in any outskirt location.
