>What? Starsector is a 2D single-player open-world RPG space combat exploration economic game thing, basically Mount & Blade but in space. Outdated but still relevant introduction video: [YouTube] An introduction to: Starsector (embed)
Do we really belong on Veeky Forums at this point?
Jeremiah Bennett
desu, I just wanted to discuss Starsector and there wasn't a thread up I hear less popular games combine their generals like Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous

What the fuck this shit is insane.

Lincoln Adams
Wow, that Neutrino ship looks old school tfw still waiting to get a Diable Capital in my current save
Noah Morris
Don't IBBs have a difficulty rating that tell you where it's impossible or not?
Jeremiah Cooper
Yes
Mason Lewis
Any other Diable mains here? What do you think of the new balancing patch? I think I liked the Graves better as high explosive compared to kinetic since we already had the Recsons.
Josiah Taylor
maybe Veeky Forums isn't the place for starsector
Charles Rogers
The generals after 0.8 lasted a lot longer than usual, I didn't think it would stick around until now. I don't expect much until maybe Tiandong and some other factions update, or if we get 0.8.2a.
Camden Flores
Are those thermal pulse cannons on the onslaught fun to use? I've got only got one on my gust.

The sure are!
Carson Roberts
I haven't had the chance to try the new guns yet. I like that Diable's medium Kinetic options now have more variety to them now though, instead of just Recsons and slightly shorter range Recsons. Storm buffs were badly needed. It wasn't worth 35 supplies just to get some super buff Wanzers, especially when they were attached to a ship that tended to suicide itself trying to manfight actual combat ships.
Logan Richardson
Too bad this game is all prebuilt modules/ships with no custom designer, otherwise you could join us on /egg/.
Joshua James
there isn't much to talk about here Maybe merged with some other space game
Jaxson Jenkins
Yeah, we're kind of in a lull before Tiangdong, Junk Pirates and the next game patch come out. I imagine things'll pick up again when that happens.
In other news: would anyone want a portrait pack that had this image in it?
Matthew Harris
I don't know, is there a market for a space games general like /mbgg/? I feel like without constant content updates, that'd just die too.
Ryder Bailey
The game needs some shit to do, like if we could make fleets & fight each other in multiplayer, this could easily stay active
Carson Walker
Too many of the good space games would fall under other generals. Is there any plan to add 4x like mechanics or designing custom weapons or hulls?
Easton Ramirez
Well, when people mod, we usually create our own custom sprites, ships, weapons and bundle them into faction mods. The only thing that's custom about the ships is the hull mods which affect the ship's stats and the weapons mounted on it.
Xavier Williams
I was thinking more using an in-game designer to build weapons and ships from the ground up, similar to what Children of a Dead Earth has but obviously not ultra realistic since this is a space opera.
Dylan Flores
Refit Weapon - Tune dps, damage type, range based on existing weapon mounts...?
Sounds...intriguing. Not really feasible, and would be really difficult to code and balance, but intriguing.

The Onslaught's TPC is more of an assault weapon than the Gust's bursty TPC. Personally, I like the latter a bit more since it's easier to hit shit with. You miss a lot of shots with the Onslaught due to how far apart its mounts are.
Josiah Diaz
Yeah, but the weapon is more suited for Capital on Capital combat more than anything else.
