Starsector

do the arcs overlap, they look like they barely do

>gameplay
There should be some videos up for 0.9a, I don't have a youtube to shill. I need to make some good webms, most of mine are old and modded. Overall the game has a big emphasis on combat, which is where most of my replay value comes from.

yuck
the buffalo Mk ii was enough of a waste why do this?

Ships are also more expensive. After this update Alex will work on a few new features and content such as reworking the skill system, plannetary invasions, stealth missions to put a deploy a spy satellite. Alex mentioned that he would look into implementing these things in a podcast which name escapes me but you can find on the starsector Twitter a few months ago. Alex can mentioned he only has a few more major features then it all mostly content and polish.

You got the missile swarm ISIS webm? I've only got it with audio.

Trying it out is pretty fun. Less OP than an Odyssey but ignoring some mounts there's plenty to be a shooty yet squishy battlewagon.

Apparently Pathers and Pirates (except deserters) are not allowed to have normal capital ships. It gets silly when a pirate fleet has 8+ Atlas Mk.2 capitals, it was more threatening before the fix when they only took up 10 deployment points.

Does anyone have a crack for it?

DONG
WHEN
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I never tried it but check that.

Thanks, user.
I've been meaning to give this game a try since I love Mount and Blade.

This was the mod that finally got updated for .8 only for .9 to come out almost immediately right?

I don't sadly. I can't even find the hammer one.

Yep. Now we gotta wait another year for DONG to expand again.

I dread every time Alex brings up skills or the economy, I feel like that shit will never end. I look forward to the other things, more mission and colony interaction is good. I really like the potential the dockside bar has, I want more stuff like that and interaction with fleets.

Damn, seems like it was for the previous version, since the current installer is RC8.

So the crack doesn't work with the new release you can download from the site? I was surprised there was another update today.

Good, I never liked how it.
Hopefully he fully develop proper Admiral skills, but I really doubt he will.
>Alex can mentioned he only has a few more major features then it all mostly content and polish.
I mean I get it, he's been developing this game for years now, but to me it still feels pretty barebone.

Blackrock when?
Approlight when?
Imperium when?
Templars when?
Dong when?

Also my colonies are taking forever to grow, did that change in 9.1?

I love the Onslaught!

is there waifu this game please respond

There are goblinas

But you can easily mod cute girls in. Someone probably already did that.

What the game needs now is not major features, but content. There needs to be endgame shit to do, or sectorwide events that could trigger major changed. Like Terraria's hardmode.

thanks you user

More content's a good one. I think overall more of an earlygame is important, though. In games like this, I want to start from literally nothing. I shouldn't even own my own ship, I should just be able to sign on as one of the expendable fighter pilots in a carrier ship, stuff like that. Gradually make my way up.

Yeah that works too.

Longbows are my favorite, they spike Flux up insanely high to the point AI can't fend against them because AI loves to toggle shield on and off to block even the smallest shots.

Tachyon "not being as good as other options" when it's in a lot of cases the best weapon in the game. Or the Harpoon explanation. Or not mentioning how good the Sabot is.

The physics of the game is great, projectiles and particles carry velocity of objects they're produced from. So you can do insane daredevil if you go fast.

Alex should really add custom paintjobs for ships. It really doesn't feel like I'm starting my own faction when the ships I'm using are the same as everyone elses.

i sink so many fucking hours into this game every 2-3 years. So glad i purchased it way back when. Last time last year i played a hueg mod , nexerelin with all the factions, totally blew my mind how awsome this game is every time i pick it up

Sell me on it user
I've recently inherited my rich uncle's fortune of 15 dollars

this game should go on steam so I can stop playing the pirate version

It feels barebones besides combat because features and content need to be fleshed out. Making a sandbox/mount and blade type game takes forever do to the amount of systems/content you have to create. Ever wonder why Banner Lord is taking foever this is why.

It's Mountain Blade but in Space
With 2D SPAZ combat

Its a game that is more polished than most AAA games, has mods that are just as good as the original factions, a really good community discord, I download a build every one to two years and put 30+ hours in it easily worth the $15. If you have autsim you can make your own portraits like pic related.

Attached: portrait_mercenary05.png (256x256, 114K)

I'll pick it up again once they fix my save file...

It needs content in the way of quests, people, and actual interactions, the "world generation" thing has already been done and is quite well. For instance the quest that Scientist gives you to find the AI core, there should be more Officer/NPC interaction using the like/dislike favor bar, like an actual universe with it's own politics, plots and action. Which is admittedly the best part about Star Wars.

Oh god I have no clue what I'm doing. I'm changing the value and I know it's the right file 'cuz there's a cheeky message from the dev but then the whole thing won't run saying there's an unsupported major.minor
Am I too dumb to be a pirate?

God damn that looks fun

Won't happen until Alex feels its complete, so unless someone can change his mind you won't see a Steam EA Starsector. I'm thankful because I would be afraid how many hours it would record me sinking into this, I wouldn't be able to give a good reason why.

ship?

Spaz got old after 8 hours StarSector has held my attention for 8 years. I bought this game when everything took place in a single system and watching it evolve has been a treat.

Its coming to Steam and I think everyone who buys it now gets a key.

That looks like the Diablos mod

literally potato tier.

I would say any decent laptop from 2008+ can run it. Their are graphics mod called graphics lib and a 4x mod that bump up the specs but those are optional but even a gtx460 that came out in 2011 is good enough.

At first I thought that but then I gave it a shot with HxD and that didn't work either.
Could it be that I'm using 7zip instead of winrar, somehow?

>mod adds political messages to the tips system
joke tips were bad enough, but tolerable.
pretty much anything can run it. graphics mods increase the demand beyond what onboard gfx can manage, and running a bunch of mods requires you to have some RAM to throw at it - but vanilla it's a very lightweight game.

If you have at least 2 cores, 2 GB RAM and 512 MB VRAM it should be smooth. If you run a ton of mods and want to endure large fleet battles then you'll find a better time with higher processor clock speed, 8+ GB RAM (to feed said mods) and 1 GB VRAM. I used to run Starsector on a piece of shit laptop before some of the optimizations, it should run on just about anything nowadays.

I love the new pirate capital. It's a goddamend glass cannon and runs hot but it shits out damage so much when fitted properly and protected from harm. Try using starship legends with it, it will always deal like 500~1200% damage while your other average capitals deal like 300~600%.
Although again, be sure that you have a proper escort for it otherwise it will /DIE/. Capital die because goddamn this thing has shitty defensive capabilities. Especially to strikecraft&weapons.
Unfortunate that military base now counts as industry though. Along with 4 industry cap.

what gave you that impression? a jaunt across the forums or, God forbid, the SS unofficial Discord would show you just how tactless and petty he is. in terms of coding and sprite art, the man is talented, but he is not a pleasant individual. his mod is very high quality, with one exception - the Bladebreakers faction is pants-on-head OP, and he gets very upset whenever people tell him this.

That awful faction is really the main reason I got rid of DME.
