The fuck is that abomination?

Is this shit ever coming to steam? I need to give my money to Gabe

Remnant drone space station.

Ye it will go on steam when its done.

>when its done.

What exactly is wrong from buying it from his site?

Nothing, it's early access in general that pisses me off. Worst fucking trend in gaming these days, far above loot crates and all that other shit.

> far above loot crates and all that other shit.
Idiotic opinion.
Star sector is the very definition of early access done right, so there is actually a good way to do it.
Lootboxes and all that shit dont have such an example, or rather exemplar.

Buying from the site looks Nigerian scammer tier. Is he making me pirate his game?

>early access done right
No such thing.

Blackrock Driveyards is still the best

Explain to me exactly what is wrong with the current model for SS.

Y'all niggers bought the game from the site?

Yes?

>tfw dong update never

Yes and I'd glad buy it again on Steam tho I suspect Alex will provide us with a key later.

It just feels like a steal when I have easily 500hrs+ into it.

I only got into this game recently and missed this mod, why do people like it so much?

I'm a retard and the site just looks sketchy to me for some reason. I'm gonna buy it since I played it a lot with a pirated version and its really a fagmove to not support such projects of passion.

It's a mod that is balanced really well and fits into the game almost perfectly. It's the gold standard that all other mods should be judged by.

Very well made.
Nice low-mid tech lineout
Balanced
Just to name a few

TOURNAMEWNT IN TWO DAYS BOYS!
Who in?

Ehh, these tournaments are kinda lame desu. I mean it's a nice community event but I don't really care enough to watch a bunch of bots fighting. Moreover they are so obsessed with balance that they started to make changes to vanilla. I mean common now.

>changes to vanilla
Other than the fact that vanilla was allowed to use a mod itself (ship and weapons pack IIRC) and that Sabots were (and IIRC, are) fucking bullshit i don't think they touched vanilla

>mfw stacking a shitload of sabots on a ship and shredding some fool
I'm pretty new but I already love those things.

Look at the thread you posted, there are 8 changes right there. I'm not saying that vanilla is completely balanced but who are they to start "correcting" it. Many games like Brood War was thought to be unbalanced and then after years of metagame it turned out excellent in that regard. Feels shortsighted and even disrespectful to Alex.

That said, I support the tournament. I'm just not interested in it.

Oh those, haven't yet read all of the thread

it doesnt support my country currency and i dont have a jew card, steam lets my buy using special conditions

Why does the dev of this want to add asteroid mining? The game could be literally perfect for it.

>not being able to properly get a read on the overworld map of enemy fleet numbers in a belt
>line of sight with asteroids in battle mode keeps things tense
>asteroids actively moving across the map, potentially damaging your ships

He said it would be boring but mining in high risk areas and needing a defense escort just in case something attacks would be very excite. Not just talking about overworld intercepts but new enemies appearing in the asteroid 'battle' when you're least expecting it or even a [REDACTED] ship that was in the belt but disabled for eons suddenly coming to life if you get too close.
