/stsg/ - Starsector General

Actually, I take this back. It's just more sim AI being weird, as usual.

Why is it the Simulator?

Because before, the ship would back off so far that without the fighter's vision, the enemy completely disappeared from the map. In actual combat, it stayed in a more reasonable range.
Maybe its because I didn't give it any buddies in the sim to hide behind, like carriers like doing in proper fights.

Not what I meant... But good to know it works fine in combat. but why does it fuck up in the Sim though is what I was asking.

If anything get Simulator Overhall or jjust give it a tanky buddy of sorts to act as bait...

well that one cruiser with a fighter bay never goes into a fight because its set as a "carrier" or something

If you kept everything the same about them and yet made them a muslim or asian faction, these leftist cucks wouldn't mind at all.
It's not a crime to be white.

>apprently enough people made a stink it became a problem

Shitheads making frivolous reports are the ones who should be banned

Hardly frivolous.

?
They have to go out of their way to read a fucking forum thread, or the post history of the mod maker, or the tl;dr ingame faction descriptions to even notice this

There is no symbology or images or whatever that could be considered "offensive"
It's literally no different from the Hegemony faction in terms of describing "what" it is.

I thought something was wrong because it would back up really fucking far as soon as it hit engage on the fighters, but I guess that's just normal carrier AI when they don't have a front line. Don't worry, MS, it was just my own misunderstanding, your ships are working fine.

>bitching
Not even close.

I would really like these Foresetis to be a little more aggressive just to put those large hybrids to use or at least to stay within engagement range, but I can't find enough aggressive/reckless officers to force them out of their comfort zone.

Clades from shadowyards seem pretty good

Their system is some super fast reverse that will always move them out of danger

And if their engine is knocked out during it they'll fly across the map backwards

Oh hey would you look at that, Shit Tier Pro Nazi mod wipes the floor with Actually Good Shit tier mod. Who would have thought?

>be completely new
>fight a pirate and win
>fight another pirate in what looks like the same ship
>blows through my flux in a single volley, dead five seconds later
oh, it's one of those games

Well yeah, it you lose one of them it's not a Capital down the tubes, just a destroyer.

the fits of the ships can range from really bad to really good
If they have a captain on the ship, it can make a gigantic difference because of all the stacking multipliers

Will this game allow me to go full Legend of the Galactic Heroes?

max of 30 ships in your fleet, which really feels like ample, especially when you add on whatever fighters you have

how am I supposed to know what fights I can take?

save be4 the fight xd

Try playing the main menu missions and the tutorials. Also, officered ships can have more or less aggressive personalities than ones without officers

You can see what loadouts ships have by hovering over them in the fleet preview and pressing F1, though this is only after making contact. During combat, you can target a ship with R to see its loadouts, what its targeting, and some other stuff.

nerf vanilla
buff mods

During this campaign I realize how much I miss fighting and dying to Dark Spire

how friggin tough are those shields lol

The Neo Nazi wanted his Nazi faction to win and take over the sector, that is why they are so OP and hard to kill and overgunned

so what are you actually supposed to do when starting a new game? I tried fighting pirates (right next to hegemony station) and got my face torn off, tried taking a planet survey mission and got jumped by pirates in hyperspace before my engines had even started up (and then got my face torn off), tried trading and lost money
do I just need to get an OP start mod or what?

Maybe he just balanced around vanilla instead of other weak mod factions?

Stop bullying Shadowyards!

fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=10398.0
Try this mod out. It should help out a bit
Most (Dyna ) mods ARE balanced around vanilla. The forum cucks just do terrible fucking tournaments and act like everything that doesn't die instantly the moment a vanilla ship looks at it is OP. Look at what happened to the Desinova of BRDY! A great ship turned into a great shit

Try to salvage some ships, spend your initial money on crew/weapons/fuel to fit it out

Then go do a derelict scan mission, or some low bounties if they are availible

0.8 base (0.72 with faction hull mod), with Defensive Systems and Hardened Shields you can bring it to 0.41. I'd be venting a lot more if it wasn't for Baryonic Shield, basically Fortress Shield with a cooldown.

I'd spend time to give the mod author balance feedback if I could.

But I like to bully my favorite faction.

Oh shit my save got corrupted cos of memory something or another.

I thought we didn't have to edit vmpram to boost the memory anymore?

I need help, i just started but i get obliterated almost every time i go into battle and i have to depend on my AI ships to win, i think i might have sub par weapons too but it don't know the diference between a good weapon and a bad one, i run a few simulations to see how do i go 1 on 1 with a ship like mine and i always lose becouse i always end up overheating with flux, i also can't into tactics so i just have the other ships follow me so i don't die right away

TL;DR: Im too dumb to pilot my ship and i don't know what the stats on anything do, i need help

I'm asking just in case, but did you play the tutorial? The one you access from the main menu that tells you all the controls and shit.
What does your fleet look like, and what do you mean by depending on the AI? Relying on your pals to soak fire and hold the line is normal.

No. We just don't need to do the 64 bit java shit is all.
Luckily, there is an auto backup in the saves folder. Just delete the current saves and remove the .bak from the others in the folder

>I'm asking just in case, but did you play the tutorial?

Yeah i did, i might do it again a couple more of times becouse i suck a big bag of dicks at everything

>What does your fleet look like

Hammerhead destroyer (D) - that i found and recovered at the end of the in game tutorial

Lasher combat ship that i buyed

Kite shuttle and wayfarer- i started with those

Mudskipper- it was given to me at some point of the in game tutorial

>and what do you mean by depending on the AI?

I mean they end up doing all the work while i soak all the bullets, i always end up overheating at battle becouse if even 1 is shooting at me constantly my shields end up giving in and overheat

that's literally what shields do, the tutorial tells you this
when your flux is getting high, back out of combat and hit V to vent
or just drop your shields when you're not taking hits

Yes, i know, i do that when i can, the problem is

>when you're not taking hits

That never happens

One thing is I would get the wolf and not the wayfarer. The Wayfarer is a freighter, not a combat ship. Also, try to avoid ships with D mods like fault power grid or degraded engines. Also, use your carriers but avoid getting piranhas as they can end up bombing your own ships

From the Meso himself on Discord:
"Also, the mod has introduced a terrible curse upon the internet. If you google Tiandong, the mod is the first result, even over other things actually called that. LOL
And yes, I checked with incognito mode so the result is not influenced.
It beats out the Wiki page for Tiandong county, the space station, everything"

Well I kept getting warnings in red about it ingame

How do I prevent that? Some memory sink to assign or increase or something?

What are you ram levels set to, your total system ram and if you are running a craptop or not?

I got 8 gigabytes of dedicated wam, I forgot where the appropriate file is to twig that, and no

Back up then open up the VMPRAMS file in notepad or notepad++. Tell me what the numbers following after -Xms and -Xmx say.
Also, be sure to set you vid card to forced for the SS java

>what are purposefully tailored loadouts vs standard (or randomly generated by Dynasector) loadouts?
>what are player skills?
>what are different niches and playstiles for different ships and factions?
>what are other hullmods that might have been added by other mods?
Let me guess, you are the kind of person that complains that the Medusa doesn't play like the Enforcer

I'm not MS.... Sorry to disappoint. I don't draw the odd organic teal ships of crazy energetic doom.

Well he wouldn't have to worry about that, if he would RELEASE THE DONG ALREADY!

Cock hunger is strong in you...

Here, have a Cock shooting it's load.

-Xms1536m -Xmx1536m -Xss1024k

try changing the Xms and Xmx to 4096, that'll allocate it 4 gigs of memory.

ded

It happens

>Cabal
>scientology

I kek'd.

On another note, are there any ships you thought were shit the first time you used them but after a while you realized they were magnitudes better than what you thought they were?

Because thats what happened to me with Metelson Industries Thrudgelmir class.

I only realize now that with the insane turn speed the thing has its basically one big fast turning turret with 3x Large mounts and 360 degree PD if you slap on some flak.

If there any point in increasing relationship with specific characters, like station commanders and the like?

Hello folks,

I just wanted to tell you that iam working on NGO 1.06 version. Cant tell when its done but i try my best, i will remove some text phrases and some other little stuff to please the moderators but the mod stays what it is, there is nothing illegal or offensive in there that i can tell. Well the next version will have 2 new ships, 1-3 new weapons and balance changes! If anybody has some opinions to balance then just send me a forum pm. Thanks and have fun.

Greetings
Ahne

>i will remove some text phrases and some other little stuff to please the moderators
Three words:
FUCK
THAT
NOISE
Make it uncensored and release it here. If they complain about you not being a cuck tell them to fuck off and that your artistic vision comes first.

If true, this is good news that there's progress. I hope there will be an uncensored version kept somewhere else.
