Is there a way to adjust the max limit of deployment points for both myself and the AI?

I have a few decent ships blueprinted in the Omnifactory, and I'd like to see how the games AI does in a larger slugging match, especially when this new reinforcement update is released.

Reduced heavy mauler damage.

Reduced tachyon lance range to 1000.

Gonna miss beams randomly being shot from across the map. Hell, I miss the even older lance, didn't it have 5000?

At least the damage to the lance is much better now. It made for a really poor support weapon post nerf. I do miss sniping fighters with it though, good times.

Its a product of the fact that he does so much work and polish between patches that his small incremental steps have more content than some full blown patches for other games.

I've been looking for a game where i can pilot big rear end capships with lotsa turrets, now i found both this and Rebel Galaxy.

I believe i'll buy this one real soon, i guess the new patch breaks the mods but i'll probably have enough to learn in the normal game first.

Reinstalled to see what had changed. Wow, lots of additions. Grabbed a ton of mods and set to it... this game is WAY harder than I remember it being. I can barely pay for my crew, let alone amass any sort of cash. Where are all the pirates to hunt?

Last time I managed to get in with BDY and gradually amass a fantastic, unbeatable BDY fleet. Would that I still had that save lying around...

I tried Rebel Galaxy but it just got me pining for more Starsector.

It's been about a year since I last played I am so ready for this next patch.

So, i found my old starfarer pre-order key and it seems to work fine still!

Starsector+ seems pretty nice, but has an increased difficulty right? Should a first-time player just stick with no mods at all?

Yeah. I don't find Starsector+ that difficult, but it's another needless hurdle to jump through. Play vanilla until you have a handle on the ships/weapons/systems. No reason to overcomplicate things on your first (recent) go around.

Did the fact that they released the patch notes actually mean the patch was incoming? Or are we still talking weeks-months wait?

He said not soon (not days away) on the forum, probably a week or two still.

so how soon are we to v1.0 being released? 6 months? a year?

Probably still a year out at least. Seems like we're lucky if we get a patch once every 6 months and the game is still wholly missing the industry/colonization(?) side of the game, officers are only barely about to be implemented, not to mention whatever he feels like tweaking/redoing in the meantime.

Though this is indeed an annoyingly long development time, he insists on doing everything himself according to his plan. So even if it is very time consuming, at least it makes every update pretty polished and bug free.
I honestly think he could have released the game as a version 1.0 spaceshooter one or two patches ago, with every feature expansion from then on being a bonus.

I feel like this is a very low-visibility development cycle, and when it finally makes it to steam or whatever platform people will flip poo poo at this game and it's already fully fledged modding community.

Urrrrgh I want this update SO BAD.

I've been itching to play this again but I want to wait for the update because it looks awesome and I want to play around with the new features.

I dunno why but there's no other game that quite scratches the itch this one does.

How do I get started with this game? The only thing I can do is hunt pirate units with 1-2 ships. Are there any fetch quests or missions I can do for a faction? Every fleet I try talking to doesn't have much to say or offer.

Thats it at the moment. Toss some mods on, hunt pirates, travel between star systems and trade, build a bigger fleet, hunt more pirates, trade more... There isn't any end game. Or mid game. But what there is, is super polished and plays great.
