This is an initial update for Starsector 0.95a. Lethia and Legio Infernalis are currently deactivated by default since I haven't had the opportunity to test those fully. Activate at own risk.
2021-03-27 14:38:57 +0000 UTC View PostWell then, looks like the next big update is right around the corner. With how the changelogs are looking, updating mods shouldn't require too much work this time around, so I'll hopefully get most of my mods updated within a week or two of the required mod libraries being updated. I do of course intend to actually play the new update first.
Just wanted to give a heads-up on that. Hope you'll all enjoy the new update!
2021-03-25 19:34:52 +0000 UTC View PostHere's a not-so-exciting update that mainly aims to make the fighters a bit better. There's a new bomber, though. Have fun!
Changelog:

- Carries a single Tear-torp
- Wing of 2
- Fixed Version Checker support
- Strand

2021-03-12 19:36:35 +0000 UTC View PostMaybe not the largest update of all times, but there's a fair bit of behind the scenes stuff going on here. And then there is the new Plasma Cannons. Think those came out rather nicely. Maybe a bit too flashy, but eeeeeeeh, can never be too flashy, I'd say.
EDIT: Uploaded a small hotfix for new Regalia Variants being unbuildable.
Patchnotes:
- Added Ryza-type Plasma Cannon

- Overhauled Metallican hulls

Here's a pair of new ships currently in the works. The first one is a rather lovely battlecruiser originally designed by a fellow modder whose work I decided to finish since it was a nice design, the second a funny little brick of a ship. Both will be coming to Shipworks in the near future.

New decently-sized ScalarTech update here. Highlights are a fairly major rework of the Gown and of course the addition of the faction's very first phase ship, the Percale.
Full changelog:
- Added Percale-class phase cruiser
- Increased the number of weapons and fighters available at Requisitions submarket
- HVBs will now properly appear in High End Seller when defeated
- Magmine Strike
- Charge regen reduced by 20%
- Stitch/Stitchette
- Added ...
2020-12-19 14:00:40 +0000 UTC View PostI supposed this is the grand "1.0" update, but it's really just a big balance pass on a lot of things. Content-wise, Sylphon has been where I want it for a while now so might aswell put a bow on it.
Changelog:
- Eolia
- Deck count reduced to 2
- Dissipation increased to 600
- Armor increased to 600
- Synastry
- Increased built-in beam damage
- built-in beam now inhibits movement of targets
- System changed to Nullpoint Barrier

2020-12-19 13:46:46 +0000 UTC View PostHere's a preview of the current lists of changes coming to ScalarTech and Sylphon. These are both relatively large balance passes so there likely won't be any new content in those updates:
ScalarTech:
0.5
- Increased the number of weapons and fighters available at Requisitions submarket
- HVBs will now properly appear in High End Seller when defeated
- Stitch/Stitchette
- Added Strike and Use vs Frigates tags (will no longer target fighters)

2020-12-05 19:48:09 +0000 UTC View PostThought I'd make a short post on what I'm currently working on. I'm currently in one of those tweak and polish phases, working on balance updates for both ScalarTech and Sylphon with a somewhat major mechanical rework of the Gown and buffs for some of the weaker elements in both mods mentioned. Admittedly none of this is particularly flashy stuff, but it's part of maintaining quality as a modder.
Worry not, though, there's also some work being done on some potential new ScalarTech conte...

Yet another update with a new cheap destroyer. Also includes a couple of balance adjustments with eyes on the upcoming Starsector Fleetbuilding Tournament (Check the unoffical discord for more info). Hope you like it. Won't break any saves, btw.

2020-10-27 10:09:12 +0000 UTC View PostThe time has come, an update awaits. What started with just a new ship has expanded to adding a whole pile of new guns that I hope people will enjoy. Expect balance updates in the near future as people tell me that the new stuff isn't balanced, of course.

- Added Sateen-class Battlecruiser

Just wanted to share a little preview of what I'm currently working on. This stuff is still work in progress, of course, but this should still give a good idea of what's on the way.
Please look forward to these and thanks everyone for your support.

Originally the plan was to fully release 0.3 this weekend, but it seems things will be delayed a while as I ended up adding more ships than I had planned and they aren't all quite ready yet. Here's a preview of the 4 new ships that'll be featured in the update.
2020-09-05 01:56:02 +0000 UTC View PostHere's an early beta release of the next ScalarTech update. Features mainly a new ship, the Midi-class beam cruiser, and some balance adjustments. Still need to finish the freighter for the full release of 0.3, but that sprite is giving me trouble. Hope you enjoy the new deathray.

So didn't expect this one to be ready so soon or I would've delayed yesterday's post by a bit, but here goes.
Introducing the Midi-class Experimental Beam Cruiser, which will soon come to the ScalarTech arsenal. This ship is quite heavily inspired by a ship from the new defunct Fractured Space game that I quite liked playing. It'll come equipped with a heavy beam weapon that can only be fired when the ship has accumulated sufficient flux.
The ship still has a long way to go with a...

So I figured I should give you guys a small update on what I've been working on. With ScalarTech out now, I'm currently in what I'd call a polishing phase. That means cleaning up whatever leftover bugs I hear about and tweaking things like balancing. There's some updates for that lined up for all 3 of my big mods.
Apart from that, I'm also working on a new freighter for ScalarTech so I attached a preview of that and have reworked the sprite for the ScalarTech IBB.
Apologies ...
2020-08-23 18:07:57 +0000 UTC View PostFirst major update for this with a bunch of balance adjustments and overall improvements. It also adds a new IBB ship that will be obtainable once Ship and Weapons pack is updated with support for the new IBB mission.
Here's the full changelog:
- Changed faction name to "Spindle Protectorate" to better convey its political nature
- Added Vestige-class IBB
- Updated faction nex alignments
- Updated faction relationships

2020-08-01 21:53:46 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the first public release version. There will likely still be some kinks to iron out, but it should more or less work.
0.1.4a edit:
Forgot to actually add the frigate to the faction because I'm an idiot. Fixed that.

So here it is, the thing I've been working on for the past weeks. It's a new small faction with all the cool bits that come with it. This is an early release version as there's still a few things missing for a proper initial release on the forums.

I updated with a small fix to prevent crashing if you don't have Tahlan Shipworks in your modlist.

I was going to preview something else, but life chose otherwise. Earlier this week my dear cat Mika passed away after being hit by a car. This has pretty much killed my productivity since so progress on this has come a bit to a hold.
In the end I decided to add a memorial for her to this new mod (yes, it is indeed a new standalone mod) so she can live on amonst the stars.
2020-07-05 02:50:52 +0000 UTC View PostWhat goes up must come down. Last time we had some buffs to underperformers, this time we have a nerf to our main overperformer, the Valestri:
- Reduced flux capacity to 14000
- Increased shield upkeep ratio to 0.4
- Increased DP to 28
- Reduced armor to 1100
- Adjusted mount arcs
- Changed two missile hardpoints to synergy

An image says more than a hundred words, they say. ETA for this is still a few weeks off, though, I'm afraid. Tournament secrets involved.
