Downloadable =here= if you care at all, which you probably shouldn't. Actually, while we're on the subject other mods which currently have functional dev versions (to my knowledge) are the Mayorate, SCY, and Citadel. MShadowy fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Oct 29, 2014 |

Something might be a little off with the economy in Shadowyards. I haven't played too much yet but most commodities are going for 400-500 a pop. Which is nice when I go to unload the heavy machinery I loot. Not so nice when I'm trying to fuel up and the cheapest I've found so far is 389/unit.  Hoookay, I'll go find some Drams to raid, thanks.

So far the workings of the economy are a little arcane, but yeah, now that I'm not focused on making sure all the parts are working correctly, fuel does seem inordinately expensive. Hmmm... if I had to guess, it's probably a combination of how strong the local economy is in Anar with relatively lower fuel production? I guess I'll screw around with the settings and see if I can't get it to a more reasonable level. Edit: Alright, I should have a fix for this out sometime tomorrow. As it turns out the issue is a result of a factor in the economic calculation which basically comes out to "market size"; in the current released version, Euripides market size is 6. With the degree to which the planet is built up, this apparently has a massive effect on the Sectors economy... mostly it's fuel economy for reasons that aren't exactly clear. I'll reduce the factor to 5 or 4, which in testing seems to have resolved the issue. MShadowy fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Oct 29, 2014 |

I really want to play your mod again, as I -love- the Seski, but all my hard work on vanilla  Ah well, just got stranded in a hostile system with no fuel and low supplies and all my ships, so i guess that runs over anyway. Shadowyards ho!

So what do you do for fun in this game? I don't mean that in a negative way, I'm genuinely curious. I'm sitting on about 1.5 million right now and the only fleets I can't handle are the big armadas with tons of fighters. I steamroll everything else. This is a great little game, but it's way too easy to make money. It seems like there's always a food shortage somewhere.

Uh.. everything you did to get the big fleet and 1.5m in the bank? Its not super deep yet and doesn't exactly have an endgame in any real sense. Combat is a bit easy due to a bug giving all NPC fleets green crew. The economy was just added so it'll need some refinement. Officers and player owned outposts haven't been added yet. Mods will help flesh it out as they update.

Getting money was super easy once I got my 250 unit freighter. Just follow the shortages. Pirates are easily avoided. For now I'll try going full blown piracy from the start and seeing how long I last.

To be honest if you're sitting on that much cash and are tried of effortless slaughtering fleets with bugged crews then it's a great time to put this game down for a couple months. One of the best things about Starsector is coming back to it. In a few months we should have at least one single install mod collection and a fix to the rough edges of last week's patch. I'd tell you to try the challenges because (like with Mount and Blade) once you start getting some momentum going the campaign is easy aside from fighting the rare fleet that's as stacked as you. But I'm not going to tell you that because apparently the challenges have green crews too right now.

Minor patch released! Mostly some bug fixes, but now the fleet crews default to normal, not green, and you can simulate fleet vs fleet engagements, not just one vs fleet.

Counterpoint: no more seeing one of my destroyers suffer a full flameout from a single errant Swarmer across the engine nozzle.  It's been an especially dark time for frigates, what with the new scarcity of omni-shields and the changes to missiles. Good fix, good patch.

Heads up to anyone who had the "pixel format not accellerated" problem, it appears to be OK in the latest release, at least with a pretty recent set of NVidia drivers etc etc.

Personally, I just play with my eyes closed. I remember a while back there was a bug where... they were bigger, and pretty much frigates blew up with the same gigantic flashes. It was *horrible*.

Yeah Daggers are sweet, I need to get a couple more wings of them. I don't think I've ever seen a good third of the ships and weapons in the game for sale anywhere. Is tri-tach hiding them all or are a lot of them just extremely rare? Even stuff like mining drones are totally absent and I've checked drat near every planet and station. Also the constant customs checks are super annoying, you even get them from factions you have really good rep with. I wish he'd make it so they're really rare or nonexistent if you have good rep and more common if you have bad rep. It sounds like it's supposed to be that way but I can't tell the difference.

It's annoying, it seems to be mostly tied to your character level and even then fighters/bombers are almost always on black market trades. And yes the customs checks are kind of dumb, if you refuse to let them scan you then a 4-ship fast picket group will then fight your 50 point fleet to the death just to spite you. The toll value seems to take into account your crew, so your 500 elite fighter pilots end up making tolls pretty ridiculous - I've had them over 25k jut carrying some supplies along with crew.

I've maxed out my reputation with Tri-Tachyon and there's definitely a let off of custom checks that dwindles to rare around 80. Can't remember the last one I had from that faction but then again I don't really hang out in their systems all that much.

The only mod I can get to work reliably so far is Shadowyards, although the others share a dependency on ShaderLib so I suspect that's really the culprit. I keep hitting this problem that after some time playing, saving start to get really chuggy and long and then the savegame can't be loaded any more. Shadowyards works great though!

That Starsector Plus mod is really interesting, among other things they broke up the burn rate perks into several different skills rather than putting them all in one skill you can start dumping points into at level 1. Now you have to reach at least level 11 before you can improve burn rate at all, it makes the out of combat phase of the game a lot more difficult and tense because you can't just trivially catch or outrun everything. All the variations on start options are really nice as well, it's a superb and well-balanced mod that doesn't just pile free DPS on everything. I just hope it doesn't have that same savegame crash problem I've been having with other mods  MSShadowy you might consider integrating your mod with the Starsector Plus guy(s) for that kind of faction/startup stuff, it's quite cool.

Could you update the OP? All you really need to change is the siren thing to say something like  .65.1 is out, most mods are broken as gently caress. Maybe something about working economy.Flesh Forge posted:That Starsector Plus mod is really interesting, among other things they broke up the burn rate perks into several different skills rather than putting them all in one skill you can start dumping points into at level 1.

I still go for it anyways because I am a firm believer in feature creep. Oh, and they expressly mention the requirements for using star gravity wells in a skill. The vanilla game doesn't tell you that for some reason.

Oops, yeah I misremembered the leveling path, you can unlock some fleet burn bonus at level 6. From the Combat tree! Really they made all 3 skill trees much more appealing, it's a neat mod.

Flesh Forge posted:MSShadowy you might consider integrating your mod with the Starsector Plus guy(s) for that kind of faction/startup stuff, it's quite cool. Uh, it is already, actually. Well, for the faction stuff at least; unfortunately due to apparent limitations of the new rules scripting system, adding a Shadowyards start for the player is likely to conflict with any other mod which also touches the startup options. SS+ can't do it either because the rules scripting language, to my understanding, has no way of knowing what content the game has loaded, so you could end up with null crashes by offering the player the chance to start with a modded ship if that mod happens to not be loaded.
