That's very sad! I was really loving reading it.

Also pretty hyped! SiS has so much character and heart to it. I'd love to see more.

Thanks!

A Yoral-Gremak alliance is pretty scary really. They have great ships.

What do you mean? There aren't any bombs as weapon systems are there?

I've been loving it, but I'll need a SA account to keep reading updates it seems.

Love the culture of LPs on Something Awful. This one is great.

I never figured this out. :)

I thought I'd poke around at modifying the power cost of turbolasers, as an interesting tweak. Unfortunately, modifying the `power_mult` variable in the turbolaser entry just seemed to affect the descriptions - when actually applying the weapon to the hardpoint, the ...

Still patiently hoping. Time is the hardest thing to find, always.

I'm looking at the `WEAPONS.lua` in an attempt to understand more about how to mod the game. I'm a bit puzzled by the following:


setmetatable(t.heavy, {
__tostring=function() return string.format("%d-%d",floor(1.5*low),ceil(1.5*high)) end,
__call=function() return random_int(floor(1.5*low ...

That's a really interesting idea!

I was pondering another idea: make large ships take longer to charge up their jump engines to retreat. Ships below cruiser could take their current amount of turns, cruisers and additional turn, and everything above and additional 2 turns. This would give a real ...

Exciting! The SiS universe is one I'd love to see expand.

If medium is 3, large must be least 6, because a large mount can be used as two mediums. (In fact, this is often the optimal choice for ships that have no issues closing to range, and for particular techs - many twin medium mounts do more damage than a single large.)

Indeed. I do hope there's an ...

I think the Gremak Escort Cruiser should get a viper snout, and perhaps a few additional Light mounts.

It's the only ship of their fleet that doesn't have it (besides the Gremak Assault Carrier), and that makes it compare unfavorably to the Gremak Destroyer (which has three Light x4 mounts and a ...

I've narrowed this down - it looks to be related to having too many types of species on one planet? Removing all the Threshers from Bacab seemed to fix it.
It's not "too many races", it's some of the minor races that cause this issue, because they lack some of the "chibi" icons used for ...
