Requires DynaSector

Post your high scores!

Spoiler

Kick ass and take names! Fight through a horde of random ships, elite mooks, and seven boss fights.

You earn points by destroying ships and bosses. Chain kills together to gain a combo multiplier for a massive score! The point multiplier increases with each difficulty level. If you beat the final boss, any unused supers are worth 5000 points each.

Yellow: Armored. 2x Points.
Green: Shielded. 2x Points.
Red: Powered. 2x Points.
Blue: Elite. 4x Points.

A hidden end awaits you if you only use one type of super until the final boss…
See if you can go until the final boss without using a single super…

Make sure floating messages are enabled.

Just getting a bit tired of seeing your name plastered over the forums for no apparent or good reason.  It’s like this is a game of EU4 and you’re playing the “paint the world your color and have the biggest name” game, in which case meh. -_-

Notice: In light of health concerns and the amount of time I’m stuck spending on it (read: so much that I’d rather be doing my actual IRL job instead), I am permanently ceasing development of Starsector+.

In the coming month I’ll be splitting IBB, Cabal, and the SS+ ship/weapon pack (incl. randomizer) into their own mods.

SS+ grew too big. A good chunk of under-the-hood fixes and stuff are getting removed to make things a bit easier to maintain.

Agreed. It’s easier to fox things if we can pinpoint it to specific files via the logs if an error occurs.

And looks like Combat Readiness replenishing from that hull mod that was buggy is gone, and the Rook and Castle-class ships along with them too. Looks like Naemo will have to redo stuff once all the mods he wants is updated.

I truly AGREE with what you are doing and it is very wise steps you are taking.  By dividing your big modpack into module style mods where you have multi mods working together, it will make it much easier to maintain them.  By doing this ways, it also allow you to be able to even add any more different mods that would work together with your different mods for any purposes, if you ever have any plans for it.

I am looking forward to where this modding path will take you to.

You should come out form under your rock every once in a while. I mean you could read and find out why this is happening… or you can just keep living under your rock and yelling at your next door neighbors when they mow their lawn.

What some call clutter, I call variety…

Huh?

Huh?

More of a joke than anything else.  Seems like no one here plays EU4.

Awesome gif though Dark.
