Even if your code is the cause of a crash, that's still an issue with the game's engine. It should catch and handle exceptions it encounters, and the developer has modified it many times in response to such issues, in order to improve its robustness. Definitely report the crashes with as much releva...

When dealing with frigates, you have it right. Just buy an initial stock of Stilettos and use them, and the frigates will go down long before they become a threat to the freighter. If they're not dying fast enough to satisfy you, either use the guaranteed Smartcannon or an omnidirectional turbolaser...

Domina powers aren't a 1 - shot thing. They recharge over time, which is what makes them so OP. That said, limiting Domina powers in this way would be a very effective way to balance them. A lot of them are good enough that they'd be more than worth the effort required to unlock them even if they co...

Taikon 200 isn't essential, and definitely isn't rare enough to waste a trading post on. Any late game shield is solid enough to protect you as long as you stay moving, change direction constantly, and avoid taking a direct hit from the Phobos's main gun. If you have enough credits(and, if you start...

Thank you! I actually have a Gem of Contrition on me at the moment, but didn't know what it did other than be a really good offering to Domina! So I will give that a try and see how I do! Best of luck. Remember to focus fire on a particular section of the armor, and to avoid destroying the front if...

There are three legitimate ways(that I know of), and then an exploit. For the legit ways, they are as follows: 1. Get a high DPS weapon with WMD(you've already got that - thermo cannon +fast), and get close enough to hit the Phobos. Keep moving and rapidly changing direction to prevent the two turre...

A in-game question for anyone who has progressed further into the alpha: does anyone have any tips on how to raise funds early on to get a new ship? Only Groam Outposts seem safe to raid with the initial craft as the enemy positron weapons quickly deplete shield and armor, but it is very slow going...

what styles are available ? I see only circular Just circular for now, but there's plans for more in the future. Is it possible to create our own(a la HTML)? Given the stock market and some mission code, it shouldn't be too difficult to hack together a special - looking interface with just that, bu...

There are plenty of websites with hex to decimal converters. That's what I use whenever I need a conversion.

Edit: Misread - you wanted a function in the game.

Um, what's a Discord. The site says voice and text chat thingy, so another IRC with voice as well? I don't want to download apps on other people's computers without a bit more info. TIA. It's like IRC, but more modern. Some people like the design and extra features, while others prefer IRC for bein...

The EI500 could get an IM90, the Sapphire could get a plasma cannon, and the Wolfen could get a positron lancer, all of which are level X, if that's what you're aiming for. Those match up fairly closely with the starter equipment, at least, and are the highest tier equipment available that isn't of ...

How do I make a ship appear in the next system after it gates out? I tried using sysDescendObject but don't know how to find a 'pos' in a system other than the current one. Set a condition if it gates out, spawn it in the next system if that condition has been set. There's no special 'appear in the...

Jiang's Star is level 6. Dual Flenser/X-ray cannon is level 5. If I get those weapons when level appropriate, that lasts from about Sanctuary (or a little earlier if shops are good) to Jiang's Star (i.e., not very long). If I get one from Rigel or before Charon, well, sure, I will smash things for ...

I consider tier 1 damage type sufficient drawback for Flenser and X-ray cannon. They are like crutch characters - great now, obsolete fairly quickly. The balance with a crutch character is that it absorbs EXP that could otherwise make your other party members stronger. It's a benefit now that you p...

@ JBW: Many of the enemies you mention have relatively poor defenses, especially Wind Slavers with level 2 armor as their sole defense. Seeing that flensers are level 4 or 5, dominating New Beyond (levels 1-3) is to be expected. In Ungoverned Terriories? Sounds much like dual laser cannon in New Be...
