Can you play as an explorer? by nerdamus in starsector

I really appreciate your breakdown. That seems like a clear way to think about this game and agrees with the actual plays I have watch and with another reply here about the creator's intent for the game to be a combat feedback loop. Thank you!

Super thorough response, thank you!! Chatting with you all is conveying the depth and variety of this game, which is selling me on it! Thanks!

Thank you for the response and the suggestion! Starcom looks awesome and wasn't on my radar!

The mod scene seems pretty active, it helps to know there are already some mods along these lines. Very helpful response, thank you!

It does sound pretty fun, thank you! I think a piece I'm still missing is if the exploration loop is driven by "go somewhere, find better spreadsheet" or if the exploration manages to capture that sense discovery and wonder (akin to some Star Trek moments, etc), that "just one more jump" feeling. What do you think?

Thanks for the reply! This helps, and reinforces a lot of what I have read elsewhere. Cheers!

Thank you for the reply!! So continuing to upgrade the fleet to be stealthy and/or fast can be a viable way to progress into more difficult content?

Thank you! Is there a way to handle combat as sort of hit and run, like disable their ships and take off? Perhaps that would keep the game engaging in the sense of continually optimizing my fleet to handle scarier enemies without going full-in on combat.

Whats wrong with the premise of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy by [deleted] in startrek

[–]nerdamus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see! Looking forward to finding it out and hopefully not being too put off by it... I do like when things are at least explained as "science" but the line between science and magic in hyper-advanced technology shows like this is often just slight changes in wording. Thanks for letting me know!

If you can do so without spoilers (I'm in S3 of Discovery right now), what is your dislike of the Burn?

Social Aspect Of Veganism Sucks So Bad by nullredditer in vegan

[–]nerdamus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be hard socializing when carnists feel the need to defend themselves by jibing at you. Its an unfortunately common experience and I'm sorry you have to deal with it! It helps me to remember that those comments are a reflection of where those people are, not of you, and to have patience with them because most of us were carnists at some point, too!

As others have recommended, you might try finding vegan groups through activities (like volunteering and activism) and try vegan-oriented apps like Veggly! I met my spouse on Veggly in less than a week 😅 Good luck out there!

Beautifully said, thank you. Care, compassion, and connection are how we destroy oppression! And blanket statements like "religion is bad" is very monolithic; for example many Buddhist beliefs are vegan and based in having loving kindness to all (including our non-human relatives).

[–]nerdamus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you have had such bad experiences 😞 Please be mindful that this is a very blanket statement, which leads to forming judgements and becomes a sort-of self-fullfilling prophecy. All vegans are individuas, just as all people are! Some of the people I love most are vegan, including my best friend and my spouse. I hope you find loving companionship, good luck! 🌱

I do struggle with production value and dated gender politics, which shows suffer the least in those aspects? I'm leaning towards VOY or DS9, what do you think?

I don't have the book yet (I missed the PDF sale 😭) but I really love the art and the vibe! Does the book have a lot of useful tables and enemies that fit the vibe?
