I grew up with games like Starflight and Elite (the ones the came out in 1986 or so, not the newer iterations). I thought Starsector would fall in that category, so I went ahead and bought it. Now I've put maybe 15 hours into it, and boy is it a contender to the SGT Snorkel #1 game of my life award!
Being new to this though, I have some questions. I'd LOVE for somebody younger, smarter and more Starsector-savvy to explain things to me!

I started with the destroyer option. That sounded fun. I ended up getting a whole fleet, and early in the game I got my grabby mitts (pirate speak) on a LOT of scrap ships that I refurbished and pressed into service. Now that I've got 30+ odd ships, the battles are just plain chaos with no way of keeping things managable. I have no way of telling what's going on. Not coherently at least. All of a sudden my flagship is on fire in the corner of the screen somewhere. (That Hollywood line "Houston, we've got all the problems" comes to mind.) At the same time the enemies as a rule of thumb are always waaaaay stronger than mine, so I loose half my ships in every battle. I have to fly around to find even more derelict ships and press them too into service to top off again. So my play style is appearantly to find useless ships, spend a lot of resources on them in spaceports and then promptly loose every engagement I participate in. I'm just kinda flying around loosing shit all over. What. The. Hell. What am I doing wrong? I can't really reach any other star systems via hyperspace since my fleet draws soooo much fuel and stuff. But with fewer ships I'm afraid I would loose even harder in every engagement. So really, any advice would be fantastic.

I've joined Hegemony just to get my hands on those stipends, which is financing this magnificent ever-loosing strategy of mine. So that works out ... fine I guess. But I can't really find any story missions anymore. I just visited some dean (?) at a university and returned some sort of artefact to them after threatening to throw it into a star. Then nothing really happens anymore. Except for me loosing a lot of pirate battles of course. What do I do now?

So this is more of a annoyance than a problem: Ballistic weaponry – the bullets and/or shells just kind of fizzle out after a while. In a vacuum they should continue on their trajectories forever. Is there a mod to fix this? Anyone? Also, a thousant years into the future we build guided missiles with a max range of like a mile
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
I'm currently almost six months pregnant with my first baby. It's hard to tell, especially under my uniform, but I know I'm gonna start showing more obviously eventually.
One of my coworkers is also pregnant, but she's farther along than I am and it's very obvious. Cue a random customer touching her pregnant belly without so much as a hint of permission. She was so shocked she didn't even know how to respond in the moment.
I'm worried about fending off touchy customers when I'm further along. My knee-jerk reaction would honestly probably be to slap their hand away, but I don't think management would be too fond of that method lol. Ladies who've dealt with grabby customers in regards to being pregnant, what's your advice on how to handle this firmly?
Edit: Thank you for all of your suggestions and anecdotes! And thank you for the awards, kind strangers!
The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”
“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.
The doctor says it terminal.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Said if she ever hosts a gender reveal party, when it comes time to pop the balloon she'll spray everyone with water.
Gender is fluid.
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
But let me give it a shot.
And now I’m cannelloni

Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
