Fuck yeah, starsector is great.

Now that the tachyon particles have settled, are fighters worth it now?

>tachyon particles
That's redundant

But the real question is, are BOMBERS worth it now?

Would you have preferred tachyon dust user?

Yeah I suppose so
8/10, I know you can do better though

Is this normal? The borders of the map are all deserted, makes these long trips nerve wreaking

I bought it, but I can't find a proof of purchase or the email from when I bought it, and I'm not paying again. Oh well.

Just email the dev, he'll hook you up

Yup, the borders are meant to be uninhabited because of lore reasons

Oddly enough for mine it's got pretty close stars to the NE side but that's unnerving on its own. I've spent so much time in Hybrasil that seeing shit to the right of me throws me off.

This new salvaging playstyle really makes me appreciate the Sindria Diktat and their cheap fuel, does map data sell for high over there? I cant help but feel it does

>fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=8317.0

Has Diable been updated to work with the latest version yet?

so is gud gaem yes?!?!?!?!?!?!?11

Maybe

Very good game, it's practically like playing Firefly if you want it to be

The real question is, can I build factories and a trade empire yet or do I have to keep playing x3 autism?

When's it coming to Steam, goyims?

Mods

Check back again in 2 or so years.

The foundation is there and the AI's got trading simulations going, but it's not implemented for the player yet

Shill me this game shills

I'll drop your fucking hole you cunt

Map data and AI sells best with Tricorp of course. Made my first million with 2 Mules, a lasher and a tanker

top down Mount and Blade in space, sans feasting.

mountain blade + space + deep combat = fun

Please no, I dont want to love the tri-tachyon now.

Too bad the torrent will take ages and I'm too poor to buy.

Guess I'll play the old versions which are still fucken awesome.

Once it's done
AKA NEVER EVER

>he didn't already love tri-tachyon
Enjoy your shitty ancient broken-down ships, faggot

Ironically, rust bucket ships are the best way to end a ton of bucks . (D) Mules are fantatically ecoomical for surveying trips and bringing back loot

>he unironically uses ships with massive defects
HOLY FUCK IT JUST GETS BETTER

>he's a trader
>he's a bounty hunter
>he doesnt bravely explore the stars in pursuit of mad dosh and salvage
>he doesnt get comfy and survey planets for the good of the sector and your wallet

Anyone have that hammer ship webm?

>he doesn't explore AND smuggle some goods from time to time
What happens when everything gets explored, fuckboy?
You've got to diversify

Can someone give some examples of good mods for this version or at least the older popular mods?

I've had this game for fucking years and never touched visited the modding community.

Hell, I didn't even know until yesterday that anyone here even knew of the game.

All the mods for this game are unbalanced as hell. Don't bother

Feasting when?

...

Thanks user. Funny shit like that is just a part of what makes the game so fun. Its what that abomination that is SPAZ 2 should have been.

>Sir what should we put on our very expensive battleship?
>A giant hammer, spin to win!

and so a legend was born

For a decent mod package to start with get Nexerelin, Starsector+, Ship and weapon pack, Dynasector, Underworld and the interstellar imperium. Most of the utility mods are pretty damn good as well but i doubt that any of these will be ready for 0.8 until a week or so passes minimum

>on my way back to the core worlds after a salvage mission
>fuck up and run out of fuel halfway home
>end up drifting into an unexplored system
>notice there's a warning beacon near the system's jump points
>oh fuck
>three fucking AI remnant fleets waiting for me at the jump point when I enter the system

Daggers got nerfed, but in general yeah.
The new Annihilator Missile Bomber is great

Well for this version none are updated so you're shit outta luck. After all the update was yesterday.

Nexerelin, Star Sector+ are both extremely great.

Is this new salvage playstyle a meme or is it actually fun

Fun as fuck, you don't know what you're going to find, and it definitely feels like you're on the frontier

Talking about salvage... Has anyone managed to get one of those abandoned survey ships? I always fell just short everytime

>No reminder
When I finish this fucking game I'm going to remind the shit out of you.

>this gets finished but not Onslaught chan
ITS NOT FAIR

Ok heres some good mods. They are all for 0.7.2a and we just updated to 0.8a yesterday.

Blackrock Driveyards - Good heavy hitter faction. Very Good ships but not OP. They're expensive and end up being your end tier kinda ships to buy, and hardest to fight. They're an interesting faction but they aren't too mary sue or outright overpowered due to their fleet compositions.

Common Radar- Integrated into 0.8a. Gives you a radar that really improves your awareness on the campaign map. Fleets you can't ID but can see are kinda tedious to keep track of without it.

Console Commands - Technical mod. There are some mods that require a new save to work. This lets you copy your saves data onto your clipboard and paste it into a new save and other fun stuff..

Junk Pirates / ASP / PACK 2 - 3 for 1 pirate faction pack. All are really fucking cool designs and are lower end ships that feel good to fight against. Not strong individually but in a fleet if they stick together shit like an unshielded BATTLE BARGE that has a capital ships worth of guns are really intimidating when backing up various destroyers they field.

LazyLib - Dependency library that lots of mods call.

Leading Pip - Tells you where to aim when you lock on by hovering over a ship and pressing R. Headache reducer.

Nexerelin - Turns the game into Mount and Blade Warband for real. You can take over planets and form your own faction, join others, receive a monthly salary, all at the cost that your factions enemies are now your enemies and your relations with other factions will regularly be trashed by wars. Excellent for giving Star Sector a higher purpose and Ultimate Goal (Invade every hostile/neutral till your faction and your factions alliance controls the sector). Lots of good improvements too, most of which are now in 0.8a vanilla like mining and salvage.

Ship/Weapon Pack - Just a buncha cool vanilla balanced weapons and ships.

Sustained Burn - Added to vanilla in 0.8a (continued

Reminder that Going Dark while in detection range of military and patrols will make them hunt you down since they think you're being criminal scum. You probably are.
Reminder that mining (unless changed by patch) is a percent chance of damaging your ship or crew, losing supplies or crew.
Reminder that when BRDY gets updated for the new patch, the crawdad ship with the hammer claw has a fuckton of mining power.
Reminder that Going Dark cuts down your detection range by a ton.
Reminder that things like shift-clicking and alt-clicking help transfer items in inventory and trade faster. Shift brings up a drag-select bar for amounts.
Reminder that I'm fucking late to this and will need to play the new version to make more Reminders.
Reminder that Diable is cool shit.

Source?

THERE HE IS
HE'S BACK

Some artfag from the threads.

Sadly I'm not the original guy, but I took it up on his leave. I REALLY need to just make a list to copy paste.

Paragon a cute.

Gib link for Animu faces

>paragon now has an inbuilt ITU
It's over
The Tri-Tachyon have won

Do you still have to change the Java to a later version or is it fine in this release?

(continued) the mod is actually less forgiving than the vanilla iteration. In vanilla after a few hours your ships gain 10 speed and lose maneuverability. In the mod it takes an entire day instead of a couple hours. Very good and must have.

Tiangong Heavy Industries - Like Blackrock, but slightly worse in terms of flat power. Unlike Blackrock their ships tend to have a lot of really cool operational abilities that make them technical successes that require planning and decisive movement in battle.

Underworld - Adds a cabal and pirate faction. Cabal is super super high end best ships in game but constantly fleece you for money/cargo/ships to have access to their exclusive markets that function as black markets on some planets. And I mean any of your ships. They'll stop you in the middle of a system and demand a ship or a cash payment or half your fuel. If you say yes you gain reputation (working your way towards accessing their markets) and if you refuse you lose reputation. So they can ask for something you really don't want to give and you'll lose as much rep as you gained by giving them 15k. It's a really nice money sink and speedbump for progress.

ZZ Graphics Lib - Another library a lot of mods call on.

Star Sector+ - lots of flat out improvements to the game. Basically vanilla+.

Please remember all this is for 0.7.2a. None of these mods will work for the new update and many had some or all of their features added to vanilla 0.8a.

It'll be weeks/months before all the mods (mostly faction ones) are updated. But the base game is so good and this content update is so big it's like getting a quarter of a new game anyway so I don't think you're missing out by playing vanilla 0.8a

Fuck it, Shipfu posting time.

...

...

Post the hound

...

Never seen the Hound before. Was there a -tan of it?

No thanks. And someone dared calling it "like Mount and Blade in space"

did anyone used to play subspace? a LONG time ago...like 15-20 years

Yeah well you're opinion is shit so have another.

...

I want to know if there is dumb Shit like little people floating in space you can hit by accident and if there is a way to board ships and land on planets and enslave the population for money.

I kinda just want to be a taxi driver to learn the game too

...

steam when

The combat Is better then mount and blade

FUCK that game

Nothing like that as far as I know. Maybe in the future, but for now it's all about SALVAGING

Maybe this is more your speed
