Starsector

Nice I'm still early in the thread. Wtf do I do in this game? I just started and all I've done is scan a few planets and dock at a few stations with nothing to trade to them. How do I get things up and running? (Went with the explorer start)

My guys I just found a derelict mining station with some nice loot, but the nicest thing was this just floating beside it. Is it noice or should I just sell it because its fucking huge and I might not be able to afford to field it?

To I need to get my shortcuts right before the toturials ? There's a lot to bind, and I don't know what I'm going to use

Honestly compared to other space games this one's really simple to get started in. The easiest way is to press E and start taking missions. If you're too cool for that then float around hyperspace until you find a few wrecked ships to take over, then use your larger fleet to travel to distant systems for the real exploration.

If it fits into your fleet might as well keep it.

start taking surveying missions for derelict ships, planets etc for easy money at the start, you'll be able to get fat stacks of cash in no time

Nice one. Will probably salvage some shit. Is there anything important I should know to not immediately get annihilated as soon as I venture out into unexplored space?

Do coreworld trading (picking up contracts from bars) until you have a modestly okay fleet, then start doing derelict missions to make mad cheddar, where you go from there is up to you.

Worst in what aspect? If anything, i feel that scy is kinda underpowered even when you compare it to vanilla.

if you can't field it right now, store it on the abandoned station and retrieve it when you can.

This game suddenly got really fun in mid to late-game.
I went from being some poor shitlord, smuggling narcotics and occasionally getting caught like a fucktard, scraping by for bread money to influencing galactic politics and warmongering with gargantuan fleets over more land and cashmoney.
This is the best capitalism simulator I've ever played.

Why have there been a bunch of threads about Starsector, recently? Not hating, just curious since the last update was three months ago, and even then there weren't many threads.

Yeah if you see a signal next to the solar system, only explore low warning ones, they have some good shit more often than not. Any other ones will be full of [REDACTED] death squads that will blow your ass back to the core worlds.
Also remember to turn off the transponder in hyperspace, otherwise you are asking for a passing pirate to liberate you of your possessions and your life.

Use sensor burst and go dark if you feel like you might be approaching anything that moves. Sensor burst is also the easiest way to find anything in hyperspace or systems, at least that I know of. Don't give up if your first few systems are barren, and always lurk when other factions fight to pick up the scraps

Way out in the middle of nowhere, only good thing in its system.

Is it worth it despite the lack of good mining?

midline>high-tech>low-tech

It's definitely worth. Sparse ores is better than no ores at all. And you can make a light industry due to abundant organics.

no wolves are not that very good, frigates in general become obsolete later on when cruisers and then capitals start showing up because they just get outranged and their shields overwhelmed so very quickly and then they blow up

omen is a good point-defense escort emp support frigate even in the late game though

>lack of mining
it's the opposite lad, thats a lot of mining, you hit 3 out of the 4 potential resources. If a resource doesn't show up on a scan that means it's not there period. Also resources aren't that important, hazard rating is more crucial and 100% is good.

a random literal who eceleb made a video on it

Are there any other planets in the system that have volatiles? If so, go for both planets, because you're set for life. Just keep in mind the radiers that will immediately arrive in a year or so.

thank you based greybeards
Now to scrape together a million or so and truck my ass back out here.

Is colonizing systems near each other synergistic at all? Does accessibility from one colony to the next help?

Solitary planet. Not even a moon.

go for it as well, just try to find a nearby system that has volatiles so that your ships don't have to travel too far.

Playing Nex and it looks like the option to explore ruins is not available to me. Did the mod fuck up somehow or is the system changed?

what's OP about DME
like the 5th time I've heard it but zero reasons

>energy weapons are both weaker that ballistics AND impossible to find for sale
Damn, I sure love how I have all that EMP damage and nothing to take down shields at all.

Oh, neat. I wonder if I can turn around and instant-colonize that world...

Attached: java_2019-08-08_10-47-43.jpg (1920x1080, 240K)

I can't say for sure but they should. Merchant AI should travel between your nearby colonies and share resources with each other. That should mean less occurrences of deficits and overall better production from your industries.

you can only explore ruins once. if you want to completely comb a planet's ruins, you have to build a colony on it and then build the tech mining industry.

ok so once again
i should be looking for size5 terran planets with 75-125 hazard rating, abundant farming, and a couple other resources? what does size influence?

they're just strong in every field, what's there not to understand?

why are you guys so obsessed with terran? fucking any class IV or V is perfectly fine as a colony, plus there's no guarantee the terran is great.

Or maybe the solitary drone battleship will turn out to be a lot more dangerous than any of the other drones.

Well ships in DME aren't OP per se, but all of them are balanced to be equivalent to the best Vanilla has to offer. Imagine facing fleets composed exclusively of Hyperions, Tempests, Auroras and Oddysees.
So while you cannot point at any big outlier, their fleets overall are more dangerous than they should.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Ayy Lmao factions are on the list for future updates AFAIK.

Remember that this game is technically in alpha.

Expansion material I bet.

I'm honestly kind of worried about them adding plot. I desperately want it, but hate playing games with half-finished stories or whatever, so I'll have to stop playing when they start trying to patch it in.

>Imagine facing fleets composed exclusively of Hyperions, Tempests, Auroras and Oddysees.

What?

There is no problem with OP factions, but when people ask for good balanced faction mods, DME shouldn't be part of the list.
Since they are playable they tend to make the game easy because you can recover the ships after battle and optimize your fleet way better than the AI.

NGO when?
KT when?
DONG when?

You think a Half Life 3 joke is a good addition to a the lore and setting of the game?

Is Tech Mining worth it? I found a system with low Remnant presence and 2 habitable worlds. Since I saved up to like 6 million from some hauls with my 7 or so Collossi, I think I've put it past me long enough.

Plz i'm retarded, explain

problem is that when I play with DME I tend to make DME only fleets(even if I play as scavenger) and their weapons as they don't really fit well to vanilla rustbucktes or weapons

who cares its a small joke

I'm guessing Red is Diable Avonics, then what's DME?

I don't know, in vanilla once you get one or two Paragons with TLs the game is pretty much over. It's a sandbox game first and foremost, you make the game as difficult as you want it to be. When I play with OP faction I limit myself to not use their most bullshit stuff, simply because it's not fun, but I do enjoy fighting them, or running their ships solo.

Its worth it because your miners can find blueprints, cores and other nice stuff, but the "mine" does get dry and after some while it stops producing anything.

yes

>good balanced faction mods
Anyone got a good list of these? I'm using Diable, Blackrock, and Imperium right now and they all seem reasonable but I want more. Are any other shipsets as balanced as these?

for me its asthethics, hard to resist
but I just cut most mods and play pirate fleets
more fun

no, the faction is literally called red. it isn't updated but it had some truly shit designs in it

How about a Trump joke next then? How would you feel if a character said "Let's make the Hegemony great again!"?

Point is that shit that is not related to the game shouldn't be in. It breaks the immersion and is obnoxious as fuck.

>No aliens
>Unique as a scifi setting
This shit has been around since Asimov and earlier, in no way is it remotely "unique"

If the star system has a name beside it, yes.
Might as well Mothball and hope for the best. If it comes down to it, you could always scavenge for fuel along the way.

Shadowyards is the holy grail of vanilla friendly. Blackrock is very strong by vanilla standards but not by an absurd amount. Imperium I haven't played the latest version but it always felt well balanced. Diable used to be really strong when vanilla fighters weren't viable at all and honestly I haven't used it since then but I've read it's good apart from going a little crazy with gundam suits and stuff.

I think it's a simple edit to remove it
And if a character goes MHGE i'll ditch every single tri-tach ship, personally murder every AI core and go full hegemoney

Jokes on you, this game is inherently autistic.

What do you guys like about the combat?
Its clunky as hell, the ai is shit, its unrewarding and slow
Rather install x4 again

>Shadowyards is the holy grail of vanilla friendly

There was some autism about modders not getting permission to use artwork.

Well that makes it 4, thanks for the links user.

That's retarded. Why are they so retarded?

Why play a bullet hell when you can be the bullet hell?

Yeah, I'm just backing them all up now since they're basically not allowed on the forum anymore. Fucking copyrightfags.

Nobody cared about the stolen artwork. Some modders cared when said stolen stuff was injected into their mods where they could be held accountable for it.
That being said the reaction was disproportionate and just awful on either side.

More isn't better, and i'd replace the damaged ones if I were you. Have you even bought a single ship?
How much fuel do you burn to go from one end of the coreworlds to the other? I'm guessing a lot.

How in the heck were they gonna be held accountable for things they didn't do? That's like saying mods are bad because they might make the game maker get into trouble.

then go and check on the forum for something that you like.

There should really be an alternative site or rep at this point. Alex is cool and the mods themselves are great but the modding community is cancerous.

Meso is a great (and slow) mod maker, but he's also a huge faggot.

Even if you are figuring out, I would completely duck ships that have significant damage. What that means is up to you, but personally 3 marks and above are more trouble than they're worth, and even then 2 is pushing it.
A significant majority of your fleet is borderline useless, work on replacing them or just remove them entirely

This reads like the sales pitch of a ship on Alibaba.

Is it possible to play this game with a small fleet/single ship?

I hate micromanaging, and I my shitty little brain gets overwhelmed.

great scare tactics dude, A+

press 2 out of range of the patrols and then go to the planet you want to sell shit at

Main example, the user servers for WoW classic.

It's gotta be one of the most tightly balanced single player games out there. The in-combat balance and dynamics is really impressive.
Is that a vanilla ship?

It's always That One Nigger who doesn't even play this game and only here because he overheard muh fellow reichfugee being oppressed by the SJW boogeyman.

How do I know when to press 2, because those fuckers keep catching me some how

The AI is actually kinda smart, they can deal with themselves just fine, so don't worry about going big.

Thanks for the advice. I went through and scuttled some of the shittier ships so now it's a bit less costly for me in supplies and fuel

When you're out of their sensor range, as you move away from them a radar thing will pop up in their direction and once you are outside of it press 2 then go back towards the planet, just dont get too close to the patrols as they will catch you and get pissed off

You don't need to micro the ships; usually the only orders you have to give your fleet is to regroup to a spot so that the strays dot get killed in the corner of the map and maybe order your weaker ships to "escort" the stronger ones so that they don't get killed by being bullied and killed on the corner of the map.

And instead you could avoid all this by simply making your own thread.

So how important is proximity to the core worlds regarding colonies again? I swear, I've been scouring the internet for answers, but can't really find a definitive answer ot this particular question. Is it more important than the quality of the planet itself? What if I find a Terran world at the edge of the system?

it's not me that's scaring them, it's the fact that he could have his shit shut down. you want anything to change, talk to the people directly doing stuff. anons on Yea Forums dont give a fuck we're just playing the game

>The AI is actually kinda smart,
yeah, until you find a remnant starbase and it just stands in front of the canon array

Had a blast running through a vanilla game.

Recommend me some mods that won't fuck my game up too much.

I'm just explaining why the dev and modders care about this stuff.

Nexelerin

Name a single game where a dev got in legal trouble for allowing portrait mods. I'll wait.

>portrait mods
this is about stolen content

the point is it sets a precedent and the lead dev basically giving Meso the OK to control everything regarding the modding scene
You're already heavily discouraged from making anything that isn't approved by his circle of cronies. It has to fall in line with their own mods or you're not allowed to post it. The modders even went out of their way to add shit to their own faction mods making it so the game just wouldn't work if you have a mod installed that they don't like

Did they then remove it or is alex too much of a cuck to stop them?
can the code be removed?

So, none

Be a good goy and keep waiting there quietly while we dig up the evidence, okay?
We'll be back in a long, long time. Just wait quietly.

literally dont steal content, that's the only thing that will get your shit removed.

off the top of my head, valve got slammed for a stolen model in 2013. They had to remove it from the game entirely or go to court so they just swapped it.

No, it's about some retarded fear of copyright lawyers who autistically scour streaming sites for the most minuscule infringements.

>The modders even went out of their way to add shit to their own faction mods making it so the game just wouldn't work if you have a mod installed that they don't like
Is there any proof of this?

Vajra sector had crashcode with NGO IIRC

it's just playing it safe. dude doesn't want to waste time going to court for a fucking stolen content mod so he just bans them. why do you even want stolen material in your game?

That's not a mod and even so, the super scary consequence was a letter requesting its removal.

I feel bad for them

The AI is more than capable, especially if you're still getting the hang of the controls. If you absolutely dont like it, just let your ship autopilot and play commander.

There is playing it safe and then there is being an autistic fuck about it. Look at Tabletop Simulator's Workshop and tell me with a straight face that Alex is in real danger of ever facing any a lawsuit in which he would have to answer for.

See

>the super scary consequence
that's not the consequence, its the warning before the consequence dingus

and it doesn't matter if it's a mod or not, what matters is if the content is accessible in the game and distributed by the dev

Of course he isn't. And if it were my game I'd allow it. But it's his game so he chose this path and you have to deal with it. stop crying on 4chen and email him or something

I know of XCOM2 mods I've personally used that have been removed because they were using material from other games.

The point is take down notices aren't to be feared when you just need to comply. There is literally zero chance it will go to court.

can you all just shut the fuck about this pointless drama over nothing

He's a meme that predates Brigador, to be fair.

The dev didn't get in trouble, the modder did.

>not save scumming in a game where its possible to lose days of progress because of a misclick

I'm doing my first vanilla playthrough right now on Ironman and it feels like this is how you're supposed to play the game.

I had one scare where I almost lost my whole fleet but so far I'm scraping by.

>being bad at video games

>modder steals content
>gets mod removed
>WAAAAAAAAAOW
okay but nobody cares about them

It is how you're supposed to play the game according to the author. It says it right there on the tooltip. However, it also says that save scumming is O.K. because the game is still in alpha and not everything is working as intended.

Do you only need one heavy industry out of all your colonies? You'd think they'd produce ships for your other colony patrols too

it definitely is the right way to play the game but it is possible to wrekted if you dont pay attention for 5 seconds which is what I tend to save scum. poor fights and stuff i just take. its more of a safety feature against bullshit

Am I retarded? Are there really all these mods and graphics libraries and utilities and none of them let you rescale the UI?

the game doesn't really take your loses into account though
everything, especially bounties, just get bigger and better fleets the higher level your character is

Because the UI is hardcoded.

That's great, they can't hard code in a scaling feature after this many years?

Any good mods compatible with Nexerelin? I don't want to go back to vanilla anymore lmao

all you lose is your current fleet, you even keep your money

One heavy industry is enough to give your colonies access to your blueprints so they can stop using salvage ships. You only need a single pristine nanoforge for the empire-wide bonus as well even if you have multiple heavy industries.

The game has plenty of easy jobs for you to do at every stage of the game.

You can set your faction to show in the intel screen by setting "showInIntelTab" to true in starsector-core\data\world\factions\player.faction.

And you can also give it a description by adding "player,FACTION, "Purge all filthy Tri-Tachyon scum.",,," to starsector-core\data\strings\descriptions.csv without the quotes.

might be something you can adjust in the settings file

All of them? I can't think of any mod that won't work with Nexerelin, except the total conversion Archean Order.

just add more factions and weapon/ship packs bruh

no, it needs to be compatible

I've never seen a ship need to be boarded before, how does that happen?

Yeah, and all of them are! At worst they won't use all the features but none will crash or break the game.

>One heavy industry is enough
thank god

oh well that kind of changes things

That used to happen in older builds of the game.

It was a different time (top right)

Bros I kind have got myself in a pickle where my supplies and monthly cost are making it hard to even make it and I’m eventually not going to be able to keep up. I already sold some of my ships. What can I do to aid in my desperate situation without severe save scum?

yeah it kind of makes losing inconsequential

I feel like there's no trading or delivery contracts going up anymore compared to early game

Does anyone know what settings I can change to reduce expeditions being sent against my colonies, and if it's possible to edit the reputation loss for glassing planets? It seems retarded to me how a faction would turn against its +100 ally for glassing a common enemies world.

Anyone?

there's a reason why shit like nexus doesn't allow direct ports from other games sure the chances are extremely slim that you'll actually get a lawsuit or a cease and desist but why would anyone risk their website or game just because one idiot thinks he's special?

You'd have to have one first, fag

Not a single game with portrait mods has been given legal issues, it's a retarded overreaction. And the most popular mod one uses SE copyrighted images. SE is insanely ruthless when it comes to copyright, but they haven't done shit in the years it's been up.

I haven't looked but I wonder if his mods leave little love notes too.

you keep acting like there's a difference between portrait mod and any other kind of mod

stolen content is stolen content. put it on a 3rd party site

Other than their handful of core worlds you can't really see their stations until they become a bounty target or you accidentally stumble upon them. They're like pirates.

>C&D and lawsuit over a minor civil matter with no actual money involved against people who aren't directly tied to the product in any manner by people who aren't directly tied to the product in any manner over "stolen art"
More like you should've used some common sense and learned how the justice system works. Nexus doesn't allow ports because they're a bunch of haranguing faggots who will ban a mod, no matter how good, because the admins don't like the person who made it over minor social reasons. Using Nexus as an example for anything but being a circlejerk of redditors and subpar porn mods is sub-70 IQ thinking. Use your fucking head instead of freaking out about shit nobody in real life actually cares about, you goddamn fucking simpleton.

What if the Sector is literally the only place cut off from the Gate Network and everywhere else is fine

what saved me was attacking pirate spacestations

also epxloring, but theres wheres save scum comes along
that being said few alpha cores, good ships and whatever else there is and you are set for life
i literally settled pretty shit planets with 2 mil credits on hand not to far from a neutral starsector to sell my black market shit and resupply if needed

That's because it doesn't fucking happen. I'm not arguing that it does or will, I'm arguing that it can and that's enough for the dev

What are you looking for specifically? Because if you find a system that has planets with decent resources(even if they are scattered between all of the planets) you are good.

So I followed some advice from last thread and went to a Military colony for Tri-Tach and for Independant, but neither had ships available. Do the colonies have to be insanely well-off to sell ships, or do I just have to work on my standing with them to expand their shit? I've got over a million credits from some good derelict finds early-on and I wanna get a tanker or a big-ass freighter.

Why the fuck does everyone call NGO a Nazi mod anyway? Aren't they more like a Galactic Empire expy?

Any advice on good midgame cruisers?

One low income industry is all you need. Boosting a size 3 to a size 4 costs like 100k and now it's making 40-50k a cycle. It'll pay for the megaport and patrol HQ on its own at that point.

1mil at the very least, 1.5 to 2 million would be optimal to get a star fortress, heavy batteries etc

For being an autistic loser who complains when one person posts one image. Everyone who uses these images MUST be the furry nazi!

good news, you can still get the portrait pack if you copy a bunch of assets from some anime or video game or wherever they came from

Whats the best Load Out for a Paragon?

All I have is Autopulse Lasers and Heavy Blasters.
Is that good, or is like Plasma Cannon and Gravition Beams better?

Do factions grow as the game progresses? Like will they eventually scout other sectors and colonize and build more stations?

tfw made my first one when i had less than 150k
it got assaulted by pirates every week and drained me out of my last credits

No

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE PORTRAIT PACK WAS!!!!!!!!!!! NO ONE WILL TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M MISSING AND I DON'T LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!

With mods

>mfw the shitposting is so bad that nobody knows who is who anymore

yall need to fuck off to the forums if you want your portrait mods back

otherwise talk about the game

I don't think so, not in vanilla atleast

if you can afford the flux of the plasma cannon, go for it.

>tfw no LOGH mod ever

how am i supposed to know if i can take on a fleet or not

You can cleanse populations by dumping antimatter fuel on them. Interstellar Imperium has the TITAN that reminds me of a portable Cyclonic Torpedo launcher.

it was literally stolen content from something. it must have been pretty fucking good to cause this shitstorm

probably anime tidds or something

all their albums on random loop is perfect for starsector

So focusing only in Trading is shit as I can see... any other interesting focusing/starts to do?

You need nexerelin for that.

I downloaded this a few days ago because spaceships what is the game even about

>he said a funny word
yall still need to go back to the forums

at least you've learned from your mistakes user, now your next colony will be a fucking fortress

>stolen content
XCOM 2's Steam Workshop has had dozens of pop culture fictional character voice packs for years. Why has no one thrown a shit fit and sued Valve and 2K Games out of existence?

honestly we should just filter or ignore any post related to that matter, replying to that dumb faggot is a waste of time

mount and blade in space, do whatever you want, trade illegal drugs and organs on the black market, colonise planets for massive profits and build up massive fleets or piss off every faction in the game, your choice really

Just how autistic is this dude?

Aren't all portrait packs "stolen content?" They're all art taken from some other source than the creator. That Front Mission portrait pack clearly wasn't drawn by the guy who uploaded it.

Mass Autopulse with Expanded Magazines is a decent enough loadout.

because the 2k/firaxis dont give a fuck

alex do give a fuck

there's the difference

please go back 2 forum

if you get big fleet you gotta go after big money, otherwise you wont be able to afford shit

>pool of portraits available in the game has been "infringed upon" and with the mod simply existing somewhere "infringes upon" every other mod in existence whether or not you downloaded it
This is severe autism. How the fuck do you even come to this conclusion?

just take the pierk that reduces upkeep by 25%. If you're having trouble keeping supplies then just buy a freighter or 2.

wolf is top tier ship early on, it's the easiest to get, and powerful enough for somebody skilled to have some fun

Play the game for a while and eventually you'll start recognizing which ship hulls will slap your shit and which ones you can defeat easily. It comes with experience.

Pirate fleets can be big but they tend to have lots of D mods and shitty weaponry. Even those modded Atlas capitals go down to a couple cruisers because they have shitty flux and shield capacity.

By the time you have a massive fleet you've either got a ton of money or planets to supply you with endless supplies
mine usually sucks up 6-7 every day and 90 after a fight

at that point you have enough money to buy the supplies your fleet needs, but then the problem converts into " the markets don't have enough supplies"

I've started reporting everything on the forum that has been inspired by trademarked content or isn't 100% made by the creator including the ideas. It's the same shit if that's how they want to play. Looks to me like it's just douchenozzle that's been around long enough to think he runs the place so he's powertripping.

>including the ideas.
ideas can't be copyrighted.

The onlyreal starts are trade, explore, or hunting bounties. You could just download Nexerelin and use the faction start option. It gives you a commission and 50 rep with your chosen faction at game start. You can even join the pirates and hunt trade fleets all day.

>Get to the point where I'm wealthy enough to found my own colony
>Get bored with the game

So if the one portrait pack was removed, but other ones made from stolen assets weren't.
What was the actual reason for removing that one pack?

>using a forum that spawns faggots like this

Attached: Dec02_01_88305101.jpg (128x128, 4K)

tl;dr

modders need to learn to shorten their hull descriptions

>Is that a vanilla ship?

That's insanity, dude.

do I need a i9 9900k to play the combat at 60fps or what

Do you also need a space heater for your workshop? It could dual role

no, a ryzen is fine ;^)

>Other mods have been called out for altering other mods without permission.

Like a year ago I posted on the forums about editing Diable to replace the updated Gust with the older version, the one that has the built in cannon. I wonder if this dude would make a huge fuss about that since I altered the mod without permission.

>implying they wouldn't cut the performance down to 15% of what it was originally after buying it

Depends on how big your battle setting is. The game can chug once you have 30-40 ships on screen.

Which one?

and even at 15% performance it beats AMD

So you're bringing up months old garbage because of your faggot ass can't get over it?

just downloaded it
should I start playing with the nex mod or vanilla first?

you're right, the true masters choice is whatevers in a mac

...not really, ryzen is basically athlon 2.0 but that doesn't belong here either way.

Use a trip so I can filter you, Meso.

As an actual artist who has had to deal with stolen art being used for mobile games, all I can hope is that they at least credit the source with or without their permission so they still get exposure. If the completely poached their artwork without any mention of where it came from then that's shitty behavior that I am excited to see any nascent school shooters on this board defend with their egotistical reasoning.

>augmented drive fields + expanded cargo holds, skip the weapon mounts
>enjoy your 5k cargo capacity without having to buy an Ox tug

Would you play a Bethesda game vanilla first?

>As an actual artist
lol
sip your latte and fuck off retard

Shut the fuck up Meso

Oh no...the poor feelings of the generic moeshit anime artists...their lives are shattered because a mod used a picture of them in a non-profit mod...

vanilla is completely fine for a first playthrough
when you've had your fill or if you just want to jump straight into vanilla+ then get these mods
Nexerelin
Ship/Weapon pack
Underworld

Yes? How the fuck am I supposed to know what was improved if I didn't play vanilla first? The most you should be installing on a first play for any game is some bug fixes and maybe resolution/FPS mods.

>that background
how

He's just making them put their money where their mouth is. I don't get why an optional pack of avatars is such a big issue but something like DA which is clearly based on Front Mission isn't, nor is AO, which explicitly states it's inspired by Star Wars

looks like you struck a nerve based on the replies this got broseph

>How the fuck am I supposed to know what was improved if I didn't play vanilla first?
By having ever played a single bethesda game once

Shut the fuck up Meso

>bug fixes
Which are mods because Bethesda is lazy.

What do you mean how? Use some custom ones.
I have custom backgrounds, custom music, custom portrait.

The biggest mod on the site is a Star Wars ripoff. It infringes upon Disney's Intellectual Property by being so close to Star Wars. Remember that just because you change the title of something but keep everything else the same doesn't mean it's not IP infringing.

>hey I can see you used my art for a mod, can you at least tell people somewhere in your post that I painted it
>sip your latte and fuck off retard
>generic moeshit anime artists
You don't have to abandon your dignity to see the holes in this logic. Are you able to actually communicate like normal people or am I just gonna have to chalk this behavior up to sociopathic chimping out like you people usually do?

the marines don't help in defenses, i think.

That's just Bethesda. They're the exception, not the rule. Even shitfests like STALKER deserve a vanilla playthrough.
Nothing wrong with that. Nexerelin and Underworld aren't bug fixes though.

Go back to Tumblr and whine about it there, faggot.

You're trying to drag the argument in a different direction, Meso. That mod maker wasn't asked to state who made it, his mod was just banned off the site.
