Starsector - RT 2D indie space goodness

[razvedchiki]

derelict ships are always orbiting a planet or you can find them on the fringes of the systems?
im asking because once you find a legion domain ship you supposedly can find more in the neighbouring star systems, of which i have found none.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Derelict ships can be pretty much anywhere AFAIK. They even show up in open space between systems (I've found a legion that way before.)

If there's any restriction, I thing objects only spawn along the same orbits as other planets or asteroid fields etc. when they're in systems. Not necessarily next to said planet though, although that's more common.

i think that derelicts are totally random in a galaxy map. in system map however 95 % are in corona of the star. sometimes they orbit a planet and sometimes they are in domant gate or asteroid cluster

Don't forget asteroid belts, it's not uncommon for them to be nowhere near a planet/star but orbiting the sun in such a place.

playing it back to back with X4.

finally found some good ballistic broadside ships, they are added by the arsenal mod i think.

what are the names of those ships

 

[razvedchiki]

actually the ships are from the tahlan industries mod, there is a battlecruiser named nibelungen or something, a battleship named vanquiser a cruiser with a big ass fixed frontal energy weapon that fires once and an assortment of other ships or various sizes.most of the ships i found are in the lethia system, there is an independent planet there called kassadar which has an antiquities seller insted of a black market and you can find those ships for sale. it also adds the legio infernalis faction which are a somewhat more organised pirate faction.

I am trying to decide what mods to play with. Anyone got a screeshot of their modlist? Want to get a good combination.

 

[AgentFransis]

There are too many. Take the utilities from the mod index in the forum and add any faction and ship pack seems nice to you (best ones are probably Ship-weapons pack, Blackrock, Diable, Imperium, Dassault-Mikoyan, Sylphon and Tahlan). Or all of them and prune later. Just bare in mind that with a bunch of ship mods the game can become unstable unless you give it more RAM.

Add utilities first than ship and faction packs you like most, I play with ship pack and Church of Ludd faction only nowadays those two clash with grim dark and post apocalyptic in space theme of game least INMHO.

Saw half of the that stream. Was pretty epic, especially that round when team made it till last wave, and then they spent all rockets lol.
I wish I could just buy it through Xsolla...

[MadMaxHellfire]

will this ever get more updates?

 

[cpmartins]

Alex tends to take his sweet time on those, unfortunately.

 

[PapaPetro]

Yeah, though it usually takes about a year+ between major version updates.
This upcoming version has a lot packed into it; especially with all the recent attention the game got in the past year.

You can read about what he's working on the game's dev blog:

i don't care about reading, i care about playing, and after the first round the game has very little playing left, everything lacks balance and free money comes from everywhere.

it was balanced pretty before. i don't see reason why they would screw it now. and game never had free money from everywhere especially in my case. yes i could get lucky sometimes but it was never mandatory.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

balanced? join a faction, buy some supplies, park in an orbit, afk, come back to some free millions. balanced?

Sure, you can exploit exploits, but so what? I never had problems with too much money from actually playing the game.

Especially if you start your own faction, you'll never have money then.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

are you kidding me? i found a system with two decent planets (and nothing else) and i was rolling in money. the only downside is that every faction, even your own, will keep sending invading fleets which will be rotflstomped by your defenses and give you even more free stuff at the cost of degrading standings.
in the meantime you'll level up and gather points with nowhere meaningful to spend them.
