I’m not too worried about getting the story spoiled for me, I just want those gates running. I couldn’t even tell you where I am in the story because I’m speeding through it, other than the academy I’m working with has made it clear they want to reopen all the gates and revitalize the galaxy now...or something

What am I supposed to be doing with contacts? Between the general missions that pop up when you’re in comm range of the core worlds, stuff from the Academy, random stuff from bars, and so on, there isn’t exactly a shortage of people saying “hey go do this.” I get that contacts are another source of missions but is there any reason I would want to seek those out in particular? I feel like I’m missing something.

I feel like I’m missing something. Contacts allow you to get specific mission types depending on the type of contact and I believe their importance also affects how difficult and well paying the missions are.

Oh is that the very end, then? Shame. I just got there and was coming in here to ask if there was any more. Well, guess I'm done for now. How's this game with save compatibility with new updates? Though i'm kidding myself, i'd almost definitely restart anyway.

Also am I correct in assuming that the core worlds are the only non-randomized systems? Everything outside of it is randomized? Seems like this time around, the habitable terran/jungle/water worlds are as far as humanly possible from the core. I might just restart my run and throw in a few mods.

I feel like I’m missing something. TL;DR: It allows you to curate your mission experience instead of it being totally random like bars

Rozenritter mechs and ships and Diable Avionics in matching livery, sprinkle Arma Armatura on top, ready to conquer the sector in style Edit: now that I think about it for more than a few seconds, the wolfpack skill could work very interestingly with the Rozenritter mechs since those are Destroyer sized and only held back by needing officers

I will also stick up for the Starsector discord. They don't fence the weebs and furries into their own little preserves like Something Awful, but that's just par for the course if you're anywhere else on the internet. They sure aren't abiding Nazis or allowing the other kinds of toxic behavior you worry about on the open internet.

As someone who contributed to the furry portrait pack, I'm glad the community doesn't segregate and ostracize like that.

I'm pretty medium on weebs and furries myself, but mostly I was just pointing that out because a lot of goons do the internet equivalent of locking the car windows when they see an anime avatar in the wild.

I mean there’s still no mod to let you convert harvested organs into supplies yet so it’s got plenty of airtime over the bar most other active mod scenes set.

That prisoner capture mod lets you "harvest" the crew and officers you capture if you decide you don't want hostages, political prisoners, or slaves. You get units of transplantable organs and units of food when you "harvest" your hostages.

I'm still new to the discord, but I can vouch for what I've seen. Its been good so far and the mod scene is really active. Most people are kind and helpful. Also surprised to see how many of the moders are goons.Vengarr posted:They really complement battlestar-type ships since they generally have low top speeds, but good staying power and damage for reasonable OP. I love them, honestly. Running them on other combat carrier type ships (esp with their special hull mod) carried my last playthrough. Like you said, they work well to guard your own fleet, act as PD, and also gang up on anything they can catch if you have enough of them.
