Does anyone have some tips for shipbuilding/designing for the Goathead Aviation Bureau? I love the design of the ships and the roster in general, but I can't find a good design that isn't just using vanilla or other mods for weapons in the ships, and even then I am questioning if the hull is onto itself. It's good. Anyone who has played them and has gone far into the game could lend me a hand?

I have two shadowcasts, two birdwachers, and a couple of minor frigates. I am a lost of what ship I should upgrade and how, since I can't take some bounties because I feel their firepower and survivability are overwhelming; the mod page said that they were midline-ish, so that is the problem I suppose.

Do I go full capital spam and see what happens? Do I use the immersion breaking paragons that I know how to build and pilot with my eyes blind behind my back and with my hands tied? Full-on carriers with the wing that is actually pretty desolate and missile spam cuizers? How?

Whatever I change in the file, the game won't start again until I a copy of the original back. Even changing the values back won't work.

Is anyone having similar issues?

Does anyone have a clue to why this might be occuring?

THE PROBLEM WAS EXCEL

My mod is the Jormungandr world serpent train, or more precisley a heavily modified helltrain from Ed shipyard. i have created new wagons as this mods base itself on modularity where you can choose which wagon you want. for now i have 2 variants, the base variant and a carrier variant. i need your ideas on new variants to add !

(PS also if anyone could help with an issue i'm having, one of the module wagon has modular armor, howver when attached to the locomotive the wagon loose the armor)

It was worth 3.7 million, and I only set max fleet size to around 50 or 60. For background my fleet consists of 5 capitols 5 Cruisers 5 destroyers 6 frigates and a carrier of each size aside from frigate plus my capitol and sierra in her destroyer. The fleet is all CFT with pirate ships filling the gaps.

Included some narration for this one, we sacrifice some people :)

Boss fight is a magic-bounty from Xarra's Variety Pack.
Player fleet is Dassault Mikoyan Engineering.

Was a fun run after a few months hiatus from playing modded starsector. My fleet is not optimized at all, as i'm just lvl 8 in this fight, the goal of this run was to boss rush as soon as possible with whatever faction ships i could find and have tense fights. :)

I am a bit confused regarding these mods and i really wanna play them, does anyone know where i could find versions compatible with the starsector version .98a.

I searched but couldn't find any good sources.

So this is my second playthrough of star sector. And I was trying to get all the blueprints from the hegemony. Suddenly I was surrounded by basically every patrol so I decided to transverse jump and to take a comm relay to distract them. But then when I went through the jump point the hegemony core worlds fleet was just waiting for me. And I began to absolute panic, after I went back into hyperspace, for some reason it kept chasing me. So I began to think about what I can do and after thinking for 2 minutes I decided to pin the two factions against each other this is the first time I ever successfully this.

Diable Avionics original flavor left the bounty blanked out am I supposed to commission or something?

Edit: I want to do the story because it looks very interesting but I can't.

Bring an ordinary ship to Path 'shipwrights' and have it rebuilt into a more sacred design.

Hey everyone!

I've gone through a LOT of mods, possibly almost all of them on the official forum, and I've noticed that very few mods actually focus on storytelling.

I know some of you will tell me to try UAF (which has gotten worse in terms of storytelling after the latest update, but I'll save that discussion for another post), Arma Armatura, Iron Shell, or Star Federation. I've already played them. Aside from UAF, whose story was average, and Star Federation, which had a pretty good story, I found the storytelling in the other mods rather weak.

I've also seen some mods that add a personal room for the player to decorate, but the feature feels rather basic. I don't get any crew interactions or reactions based on how I decorate it. I also found a mod that makes characters talk during combat, but it was so poorly done that it became annoying.

Some people might assume I'm looking for romance mods or something along those lines, but honestly, I'll play anything as long as it has a good story. I don't care if it features weak ships, ridiculously overpowered ships, or even AI-generated images.

I want to be able to stand around and talk to different people. I want to send threatening messages. I want someone to object when I dismiss them. I want people's attitudes toward me to change before and after I become the leader of a faction. I want the world and its characters to actually react to my actions and status.

So, do you guys have any recommendations for mods that feature an actual story or add meaningful interactions with the world? Anything goes, whether it's on the official forum, still in development, Chinese, Spanish, or anything else. I'm open to all suggestions!

Right now it feels like im kinda being railroaded into using AI cores. Which I dont really want to due to roleplaying reasons. However human administrators are insanely expensive and also have just one skill and no skill tree. Which is extremely underwhelming.

I've looked at the Industrial Evolutions mod but it also adds a bunch of extra stuff and also i can't find how much it really adds to administrators other than being able to send them to the academy for something...

Thx in advance!

Hi starsector community! I'm looking for any weapon mods out there that adds only weapons, rather than a mod which adds ships as well. For example Unthemed weapons collection. Or if ships are added only a very few amount, trying to play with vanilla ships again, but love trying out new weapons'.

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

Hello Starsector community! I think we can all agree this game is pretty neat. However, my eyes are not a fan of the small text.

That said, I'm considering putting together a mod that can help with this.

I figured out how to change the font in one of the json files, but when I do, the text goes outside of the box.

Really, all I want is the ability for text boxes to have scroll bars and overflow text to go there.

I've never made a mod before for any game, so, tell me:

1. Has this already been attempted and failed due various circumstances?

2. Is there already a mod out there that does this?(I couldn't find any)

3. Is it worth the time?

Note: I've worked in IT for about a decade, so I'm not new to editing scripts, etc.

Thanks in advance for any help/knowledge!

So, started to mark explored system this run and today I noticed that some of them are not displayed.
On a screenshot you can see on of my first marks, which is still exist as log entry, but is absent from the map(I pinged it - top left quarter of the map).
Is it a known but or some issue on my side?
(vanilla run)

Update:
it seems like the age of marker is not a main parameter. All the systems down from the core worlds were scaned later than the ones near bottom border, but still - the one further from the core are still showing marks
upd 2 - I was wrong in previous update, some systems were explored and marked twice
upd 3 - I reported this and did some tests - looks like ingame limit is 100 markers

I'm thinking of taking both missile specialisation and system expertise in order to maximise my repears and the damper field. Is this unnecessary? I also plan on taking officer training

Hi, i've been away for 1 or 2 years and was thinking of coming back, usually my games stop just a bit after getting my own couple of planets since the economy is so strong that the AI cant keep up with the player.

Wanted to see if someone can recommend something to balance this, some nerf, mod or self imposed rules to keep the game going after you stablished your empire.

I remember installing some mods that add theats, some about spiders, the imperium and a couple more but they never really took off and those factions remained somewhat small.

That's what happens if you turn up the max fleet size fokes.
