Excellent. Now only Nex, BRDY and Appro are left for my core mods.
Christopher Morales
>Appro disgusting
Brandon Davis
Give me 1 (one) good reason not to use it. Keep in mind that balance concerns are irrelevant since if your autism is too strong to use their ships you can still use the mod as a boss/late-game challenge. Alternatively nerfing it is absurdly easy by just tinkering with the mod files.
Ian Gutierrez
it's developed by chinks and has a keylogger and sends your passwords to the chinese government

post arcade scores
Kayden Collins
Arcade scores mean nothing as you can refit the ships. With or without refitting it's a whole different game
Wyatt Green
The game is russian so you're already fucked.
Chase Johnson
Russia is one of our key allies and I trust white people more than subhumans.
Owen Perez
That "Alex is Russian" meme amuses me without fail.
Cameron Gonzalez
>Alexander Mosolov Yeah, sounds like Norwegian to me
Elijah Scott
Nah man, he's totally Argentinian
Jordan Peterson
Ok, Boris.
Noah Anderson
His parents were Russian.
Gavin King
who you are is a matter of blood, not location or citizenship
Appro is not really strong once you notice how weak the armor/hull of their ships is. just bring an almost full kinetic capital, cannon folder to protect it and you can kill even the boss ships quite easily that droneship carrier was ridiculous in 0.7.2 tho red already exist
Julian Gonzalez
what's the point; alex will whip out a hotfix in a minute
Jaxon Collins
nex probably next week, blackrock hasn't updated yet either. in the BRDY thread mesotronik asked wether he should do a compatibility update now and add content later, but those faggots on the forum are telling him to just "take his time".

always release asap
Bentley Brown
I've found the burn penalty for hyperspace storms, dug way deep in the .api file.
Now, how in the name of fuck do I edit it so I can keep space trucking at 20 burn?
Lucas Hill
Pokemon.
Aaron Miller
Always do compatibility first. I can't wrap my mind why isn't this the default behavior.
Pretty sure you need to be able to compile the game to make changes from files inside the .jars
Don't ask me how, I've tried before and failed.
Daniel Reyes
Did something actually change with enemy officers in fleets or is it just my ships being even more stupid than usual? I feel like I'm running into a lot more situations where the enemy just tanks me even though I'm using the same loadout as I did in .8
Luke Moore
>Enhanced named bounties (feature transfer from Starsector+) Wait does this mean that Dynasector generates bounties back in the core systems again?
Thomas Flores
I've already extracted the .class file from the .api, and I know how to properly reisnert them into the .api archive.
Still, there isn't any code or value for the burn penatly which I can just edit. Wierd.
Grayson Anderson
it's not in STORM_SPEED_MULT?
Jaxon Barnes
It is!
Now, how do I edit it? It refers to [008] in the constant pool, but JBE gives me no way of editing that.
Wierdly enough, it's value is also 0.2 in version 0.8.
Cameron Flores
I just started playing, should i do something by myself in battles? Seems like AI knows better what to do.
Lucas Perry
Of course you should, AI pilots are good but they can and should be outsmarted.
Anthony Kelly
>Seems like AI knows better what to do. In early battles with maybe 1 or 2 ships the AI can normally handle it fine, but later on as you add more ships on it becomes a micromanagement exercise because in reality the AI is really bad at making decisions and it generally can't handle fighting very well
Henry James
Try to fine your skills in simulator or in battles when flying destroyers and up. AI is ok, but it won't be as aggressive or smart as you are.
Ethan Hill
The AI has one very substantial problem, and that's the fact that it doesn't respond to situations. It doesn't matter if it's hopelessly outmatched or outsped, it'll still try to chase and fight, before realizing that it can't engage and play footsie with one ship. It doesn't matter if it's outnumbered 6 to 1, it'll still charge into the enemy formation and break away from the rest of the way. In fact, the entire fleet will do this, and because you're pretty much always going to be outnumbered in this game, that means normally, your fleet will also scatter even if you order them to stick to a general area. If you don't take control, eventually you'll run into situations where your fleet kills itself.
Thomas Lee
Oh my fucking god Super Jet has been changed that it grants you temporary intangibility and you can jet through this nigger's projectiles
Jayden Fisher
>Always do compatibility first. I can't wrap my mind why isn't this the default behavior. Yeah and I bet the ones telling to 'take his time' now will be the ones bugging him about a release date later. In his own interest I'd update now so he can add new ships and stuff in peace.
Dylan Hall
Is that mod still even updated
William Jones
You just couldn't fall apart to more pieces, could you?
Anthony Allen
Arcade is part of the Ship/Weapon Pack now.
Isaac Anderson
Next boss was a trio of coloured Helioses. Funnily enough, each one came with an ability that overloaded ships in vicinity. All ships. They've overloaded one another and I picked them one by one, while they were helpless. Not to mention that due to this overload ability, no other ship was firing at me as well because EVERY ship was overloaded. GG DR
Wyatt Bailey
Vented one second too soon...
Austin Richardson
>when the moment you vent AI unleashes 10 harpoons on you
Brody Murphy
Anyone?
Nicholas Rogers
Woah, what is this? Is this from Dyna/S&W Pack or is it from 8.1a?
I haven't accepted any quests and there is a marker, moreover this is a core system.
Daniel Price
I think it might be S&W, or just 8.1a. I don't have Dyna and I've seen this several times now
Chase Lopez
I think Underworld mod added such fleets, as well as made being a pirate better, but I'm not sure, I haven't played UW-only
Time to transfer my level 51 character to Nex and declare all-out war against the sector. The only problem is that I don't think 200 ship limit will hold my entire storage...
Adam Peterson
Why the marker? Are there rewards for killing those fleets?
Brayden Anderson
oh fug my current .81 save doesn't have a Pandemonium yet either
Liam Adams
Thank you based modders.
Are there any advantages in starting your own faction? Can you customize it at all? Last time I tried my faction was pretty much lower tech independent which sucked.
Blake Roberts
>when you back off as fast as you can going "shitshitshitshitshit" and manage to get the shields up in the very last microsecond
Michael Sanchez
>.81 is out What're the biggest changes lads? Also does nexelerin only support the mods mentioned in its compatibility tab.
Jayden Hill
>What're the biggest changes lads? Some idiot nerfed travel speed by multiplying the hyperspace storm's burn drain.
ALEX PLZ FIX NOA
Josiah Price
Or you can be ethical and tank harpoons with Damper Field :^)
Andrew Jenkins

Dominic Scott
Anyone have a crack for RC7 yet? The archive links are down for older versions.
Matthew Brown
Come on man. It's a $15 indie game
Jayden Bell
Because I'm too lazy and just replace the file with from newest version
James Robinson
A $15 indie game in development for years with no completetion in sight. Thanks senpai didn't see that one.
Jacob Mitchell
Rebalancing to skills aka most skills were nerfed down to make them less appealing. Travel has been made more difficult. Early game difficulty was changed slightly
Xavier Flores
>wake up >all these mods got updated
Jeremiah Bell
Travel hotfix: removes the storms' excessive burn penalty.
Both this and Factorio have given me each hundreds of hours of gameplay and neither are "complete", I don't see why you are factoring in that at all.
Chase Sanders
Alright ready to go in again.
Installed it even though I don't know what the burn penalty actually does.
Carson Anderson
It makes you move as if your ships are covered in sirup while in huperstorms
Andrew White
>tfw Psych movie
Daniel Nguyen
Oh boy time to control the polititics of the entire sector with muh prisioners
Landon Allen
forgot pic Ah cool
Also I'm just trying nexelerin for the first time and isn't it a bit OP to be able to start with templars?
Nolan Rivera
Yes, it is, that's why you should capture their planets and then go on a crusade
Jaxson Robinson
no, but tartiflette is a cuteboi. I don't know about you guys, but I would walk him home gently.
Camden Harris
Well, it's a single player game and it's up to you. There's an official Easy mode already anyways
Henry Ward
>tfw favorite flagship is Nevermore >literally can't play until BRDY has updated
Jonathan Rogers
>my only goal in previous versions was playing pokemans with omnifactory >omnifactory is no longer updated in that form
So what to do anymore? After you get 2-3 capitals the game is over. No fights EVER can give you any challenge, and boils down to chasing retreating niggas 70% of the times.
Any way to make support ships like atlas, the tanker, tugs, etc.. not count to fleet strength? so i dont get the 60% battlesize bonus due to large fleet when i have like 5-6 combat rated ships?
Jonathan Cooper
you haven't reached endgame until you're making your own ships
Liam Barnes
ferrogun-kitted nevermore is literally a blast
Jacob Lewis
>After you get 2-3 capitals the game is over. No fights EVER can give you any challenge If you have faction mods installed this shouldn´t be a problem really
Ayden Sullivan
Now that Front Shield Emitter has been nerfed, do you guys micromanage your shields?
Owen Morgan
i don't
Grayson Sanders
I go with the shields off most of the time except when hard-hitting missiles are coming, and use every bit of flux I have for superior frontal firepower this is specially true now that victory-class is back to town
James Parker
Does nexelerin get rid of remnant shit? I've been searching for a beacon for ages.
Parker Diaz
Omnifactory is updated, but the zip file is empty? what is this?
Ryan Morales
>AMD performance Lose every time
Thomas Diaz
Dunno. My download definitely has shit in it.
Sebastian White
can you give me a mega link of the file inside the zip? It still gives me nothing
