Oddy needs skill and strategy to shine. Just like the Conquest. It's also kinda bad in AI hands. Just like the Conquest. I'd use a MIRV on the large and some sabots on the mediums for better burst, but that's just me. Alternatively some [REDACTED] or [SUPER ALABASTER].

(And yes, you can also bring this to Arroyo if you want to give him a headache.)

This mod adding controller support to Starsector is very cool! Really impressive work.

Starsector commission drawing that I did while using a new brush

Small context for anyone else stumbling on this (from what I remember):
- The "malware" was just some code that would mangle your save if you were playing with a certain unsavory mod (which is banned from most starsector places)
- Moderators did moderator things
- Things got exaggerated a lot

The console commands mod just got one heck of an update, courtesy of @lukas04.bsky.social. Super impressive stuff!

Pictured: a planet used to be here, until a bug let me "break it for salvage". Backing out of a menu made the game think the planet was a comm relay, and, well. At least I got some scrap out of it!

oh yeah? how many stars have you sectored today

Super cool 3d rendition of the Wolf!

And about some more exiting development.

Modules are fully ready for moves. Some bugs fixed, some fixed itself, overall ship is in best shape ever. Only major thing left is the sprite.

That's very cool. Reminds me of a corvette from Dreadnought with the side parts.

little sprite i just made, i like this guy :]

Added the ability to change the s-mods on a ship for a LOT of credits, at a player-owned colony with heavy industry. The original s-mods still require story points to add, but this should make it easier to revamp an endgame fleet.

Working on another Starsector piece

#starsector #sketch

Once upon a stardust moon... a lucky, or perhaps unlucky Starfarer might chance upon a planetary body, orbiting just outside a black hole's horizon... You know what must be done. May Omega watch over you.

Greetings fellow sicko. Have you considered... obtaining the Star of the Sector (black hole colony).

It depends on what you mean large-scale. But practically not really. You need to edit the game's config file and increase the battle size from the default 400 to like 2k+ and fill it all up before you'd start seeing actual lag considering your hardware.

Just you wait until there's 20 capital ships, a few hundred smaller ones, some 1k+ fighters and 10x those in projectiles. You did come at the right time tho, it just recently got updated from using java 7 to java 17, extreme performance boost. Burn bright Starfarer.

Reduced the leash range on the "Defend" (and similar) commands by a third. Seems to be working well so far - the actual performance of the fleet in battle is *much* better with the new leash range!

Practicing turning 2d sprites into 3d

We do not call it a "Shock Jump" for any particularly violent physical phenomena the drives produce.

But you may get to figure it out for yourself if your admiral continues his posturing...

An image showing a very, very early version of a Threat Hive-class ship and the final sprite. The shape is meant to evoke a wasp's nest, and it turns from a paneled rusty metal lump into a bony-looking undead robot spaceship.

I wrote a blog post for @amosolov.bsky.social's Starsector, "Creating Threat", about drawing spaceship horrors.

(It starts with bismuth and deep-sea snails and ends in... well, HR Giger, basically.)

Who would win. The Unknowable Horrors or some spacer with a weirdly big budget.

Anubis is one of the best battlecarriers around. Just needs some proper fitting. I ran it as a flagship and it would just melt through frigates with no issues. Tanky, mobile, high dps and varied damage due to the mounts and fighters (s-mod converted hangar on it).

To other news. Present first modded dialogue I feel is good enough to share. It is definitely going to be tweaked over time, and quest start in the end is just text (my next "to do" work), but I'm glad about this overall.

(all extra weird text are from devmode)
