The Stars Beyond

Oh wow, 2008!

Yeah, that idea is the foundation that evolved into the idea of npc factions being able to claim and capture territory. The reason for the much greater complexity of the current system is that it needs to be able to handle battles for the control of systems that the player is not in, similar to the npc factions in a game like X4: Foundations.

Possible bug: Found on title screen, two different ship classes have the same name.
iav-class courier
iav-class transport
The new Krethul are looking spacey.

[Aury]

Yeah the IAVs have placeholder names

Also theres a known issue where a number of VSS/coalition stations and a couple ships dont have the right sprite sizes set. That will hopefully be fixed in the next version

The Cobali Lair has issues. Encountered one in Vean. Docked, has same text as CW metropolis/Starton. Even weirder, after I checked the Milita HQ I went to the pub for juicy info, and it went to the captain and she offered a mission to me.

[Aury]

Yeah the cobali are not completed yet and have a lot of placeholder stuff

=============================================

0.4.2.1 minor update:
TSB and EUC are now split into two parts each:
A standard version (using compressed jpg + 8-bit bmp mask files) and an 'HD' version with the existing full quality PNGs. The SD version is required for the HD version to work (The HD extensions are just png images and overrides for all of the resources in the SD version)

SD download:

HD download:

There is an issue on multiverse with the HD version of TSB - the HD version of EUC works correctly, but the TSB version failed to upload and multiverse has glitched out the entry. I've contacted george about fixing this but it might take a while

[skaianDestiny]

Until multiverse stuff is sorted out (and george needs to approve the Human Space Vol2 beta library for it to download anyways) here is a google drive link for version 0.4.2.0 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q_5keO ... sp=sharing

Anyways, off to sleep now

It says the file doesn't exist?

I also had this error with the multiverse download.

[Aury]

Are you using the multiverse or google drive version? (Also there is now a smaller 0.4.2.1 download)

A00A0001 is TSB_LibRes.tdb, make sure you have that file.

Multiverse, the Google Drive link is broken for me.

Ok, I'll doublecheck if the multiverse is configured correctly or not, but there are updated links in this post: viewtopic.php?p=79076&sid=c4726951f73cb ... 549#p79076

Thank you!

Okay, I found the old "Charon Frigate punch itself in face" bug, but with the Halon Pirates Destroyer!

[136166]

Woah.
Probably should have said this sooner, but there are now just about too many systems!
I also liked the older system names, like the Stray system, Tiberius, IDK whta happened to them.
BTW, do all enemies spawn properly now? (Looking ata you, Kithe.)
Will all Coalition/AIC autons be usable?
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SOLARITE BATTLESHIPS!?
What is the former Kithe capital?

* TSB is really meant to be part of the upcoming official sandbox adventure (Chronicles of Human Space), not Stars of the Pilgrim, so its system count is designed around that.
* A lot of the older system names should still be there? Note, some of them, like base SotP systems, are randomized between runs, so you might not see the same system names every time.
* The systems don't have their encounters properly configured yet, so stuff is not spawning correctly yet.
* Eventually all normal auton/drones in TSB should be usable in some form or another. Some very specialized types may only function in sandbox, due to needing Carrier mechanics that dont exist in SotP.
* There might be something up with the solarite encounters, since theres a lot of placeholder values. Inside Solarite Space & Solarite-occupied Coalition space, there should be a lot of heavy solarite ships!
* They dont have a former capital! They descended from an already nomadic people. The Kithe-Miun alliance (not in yet) will have a capital though.

I believe the Hexagene Coilgun mentions that they had a capital...
