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 ...

Yoral Escort Cruisers:
Yoral Escort Cruiser.GIF

The image shows flak cannons still (on main game page on steam and in game as well) but that weapon didnt make it into the game

Another visual note is that it has hardpoints for only 2 turret weapons while the image cotnains 3
We have had a ...

I don't see any inherent value in NFT's, so as far as I can tell the only reason to buy an NFT is in the hope of reselling it at a higher price. That's a scam.

It's so heartening to hear (read?) you say this!

Almost everything blockchain related appears to be a scam. Arguably it's a giant ponzi ...

It's really the last resort of the out-teched! A good way to snag some tech, too.

I'm not sure if boarding is too strong or just the AI defends badly against it.

Hm, the was no starvation in my game. Is it possibly a thing that happens due to reduction in population for other reasons (overpopulation?) maybe?

Alas, the bug has returned and I can't migrate my way out of it this time.
