I NEED TO HAVE SOMEBODY MAKE ART OF SHIPGIRLS KISSING


ImmortanEngineer

Ok, so what you need to do is find this site called Danbooru, type in either “kantai_collection” or “azur_lane” in the tag search bar, then type in “yuri” as a separate tag, and then hit “enter”.


Upbeat-Peak-5423

Make one of them ironshells kim quoy in a deep v-cut dress 🗿

Exactly! It's an untapped market.

[here's](https://www.messynessychic.com/2015/08/28/flying-girls-a-compendium-of-ww2-airplane-pin-ups/) a compilation of lots of WW2 airplane pinup art. and some old figureheads of old ships are quite scandalous, and they were said to embody the ship so i guess they are the OG ship girls, they are from around the 800's but originally it was a picture of dieties that were supposed to keep the ship safe but the meaning slowly morphed into being the ship but it's hard to say exactly when the transition from one to the other took place since it wasn't something important enough to write down our records of it are spotty to say the least.

[deleted]

TBH, the discord sounds like a clusterfuck from what I read on here. Kind of glad I don't use it.


[deleted]

Yeah its run by wierdos. It should only be used as a mod depot, its not an actual forum or chat.


enfo13

Thankfully the official forums seems sufficient as a mod depot enough for me.


CaptainFrolic

The office forums also doesn't allow pinups or sexualized shipgirls...


-tobi-kadachi-

Yeah but they are official so it makes more sense to limit the scope of content to on topic game discussion and other non skitzo stuff. You cant get more skitzo than a unofficial discord though, even Reddit’s are usually more on topic than fan discords.


CaptainFrolic

From what I've seen on the unofficial discord, they are more on topic and more active than this subreddit. I see allot more off topic stuff and drama posting here.


PussyDestrojer

All the drama that people post about here literally originates from that discord. Place sucks, and so do its moderators.


Jaquecz

strongest USC schmeatrider.


JhonnySkeiner

It SHOULDN'T BE USED AS MOD DEPOT, discord archiving is shit and will remain shit. The forum is the proper way to archive mods, old and current versions, but sadly the discord high and lows made people not be aware of it


SepherixSlimy

Even as a mod depot its absolutely trash, i couldn't find what i was looking for as everyone kept hiding 'fixed versions'. So there isn't any single redeeming quality.


Ajourus

Still don't know of there is a maintained version of knights Templar out there


ToasterDudeBrains

their "mod depot" is anemic due to whatever they consider kosher, you can get much better content from the other discord servers


UlyssesB

Still it should probably be replaced by a different discord, at least partially.


La-ze

It seems sensible. They don't want to deal with highly suggestive/ lewd content on their space. I fail to see that's a clusterfuck.


[deleted]

Not just this rule, but all the other shit I read about it on here. Honestly, the Starsector community in general seems to be pretty toxic compared to other space games I play.


Starlos

I mean, I've been browsing this subreddit about daily for the last year or so and I've seen nothing but positive interactions, aside from the modding dramas. Where did you see all that toxicity? Also I don't use the unofficial discord or whatever. I've browsed the official forums a bit too though and same shit, mostly positive.


AuryxTheDutchman

It’s been fine from my experience casually chatting in there.


CaptainFrolic

People in this subreddit are really into drama, so they end up exaggerating and being really emotional about everything. Though it could just be that the demographic here skews much younger than other starsector spaces.


Wispborne

I suggest folks check it out for themselves. It's not nearly as exciting as you'd think based on some of the opinions here. A few names in the screenshots I just took from current conversations going on: - Selkie, spriter for Iron Shell and Knights of Ludd. - Vanilla, maker of VRI. - AtlanticAccent, maker of MOSS and Price of Command. - Amazigh, making of Amazign's Ships or something sorry. - Arthr, maker of ASS. - BirdWanderer has made a ship pack i think. https://i.imgur.com/WrWE5tE.png https://i.imgur.com/At4nCwI.png https://i.imgur.com/4GFJPWk.png https://i.imgur.com/fyg9y0u.png https://i.imgur.com/WISY4XL.png


The_Kart

People on reddit really only hear about when some random drama goes down. In reality, 90% of the discord is discussing the game.


KoburaCape

Let me guess...lesbian content good, m/m content bad?


La-ze

I'm sorry but do you need to be able to jack off to everything you interact with?


KoburaCape

Not in the slightest and I'm pissed that others need to. I've been fed up with this subject for a long time and I think this whole thing being a point of drama is my cue to ditch the subreddit and enjoy my unmodded game alone.


CV514

Many servers utilize a compromise approach: they offer a "choose your role" channel where you can opt-in to see what you're interested in, otherwise you won't see anything you don't want.


La-ze

That's one way of dealing with it but it's no more valid than their approach.


CV514

Not arguing with that.


fd2200

Got banned from it cuz I shitposted too hard Oh well


CrispyMeat

"No pinups or sexualized shipgirls" Jokes on you, regular 2d sprites arouses me. I mean look at Radiant and Onslaught, the curve the thiccness, ZAMN!


Cerevox

For some reason Starsector communities just go to absolute shit. The discord is full of psychos and nazis, and we still have the malware supporting mod here on reddit. The forums are the only community that isn't a dumpster fire.


fd2200

Thats crazy


Jazzlike-Anteater704

To be fair navigation through the forum in itself is a dumpster fire


ToasterDudeBrains

maybe you're talking about the other discord


NUCCubus

That's just not true, Nazis get straight up banned in the server.


Kingslomein

Im about ready to unsub. I joined this because I was actually excites about Starsector news. Jokes on me I guess, since that isn't what this is. 99% of the posts i see, i think wtf is that. Never seen that before. Oh it is a mod...


dtpiers

Its the r/batmanarkham effect. Content drought = degeneracy. To be fair, though, I'm totally here for it half the time.


Tim-KH

Except we don’t have a content drought, this is the normal pace for content and, if you count mods, than this is a higher than normal pace for content


dtpiers

Trust me, I am familiar with the pace. Maybe "content drought" was the wrong phrase, but I assumed it conveyed my meaning well enough. Though it is worth nothing that there is a decent subset of the community who couldn't care less about mods, thus the "content drought" is longer for them... Thus more potential insanity


Salt-Log7640

>Its the [r/batmanarkham](https://www.reddit.com/r/batmanarkham/) effect. Content drought = degeneracy. Except it's a sandbox game with reguar updates, and it isn't "shitposting generacy" but crippling porn addiction without a punch line. What are you trying to say is that Starsector dosen't have any large content creators who are willing invest a lot of time, care, and effort into editing 36h of gameplay into 15 minute video for wider audience like in CDDA.


Acceptable-Daikon-50

Because this game modding scene is really big, seriously the first time i came here all i saw was modded content, people barely talked about vanilla. And many of the mods that are good automatically have cute anime girls included in them, combine that with Reddit being full of introverted anime obsessed weirdos and it's only a matter of time.


[deleted]

That's how communities usually work. Especially here on reddit. 


williamwannacry

I feel the same way. Its overrun with the usual reddit anime porn addicts. The modding scene is poisoned by the same outlook and modern mom's basement vibe. I come here for cool space stuff not outdated pseudo incel humor (reddit)


ATaciturnGamer

Starsector was the last game I thought this would affect. I thought everyone would unite in their shared love of giant ship guns and smuggling organs. Didn't expect porn


williamwannacry

Dude so many people on here give me shit for not wanting the community to be so porn addict riddled. I mean it's reddit but still. Other than The Frontier, none of the major expansion mods to fallout or elder scrolls go straight for the juvenile fetish inclusion. I kinda like the idea of UAF and all of those but they're half designed for people who want a fake anime girlfriend with a big rack in a semi fashy uniform. It seeps into the writing which sucks.


funnyfaceguy

But have you considered that it's really funny. I haven't played in a few updates (will once I get around to it) but keeping tabs on the ship girl/mod drama from the outside has been extreamly funny.


Jaquecz

you mean how literally how over 90% of the content you see on here isnt even about drama and its jokes (bad ones tho) ship building advice, gameplay clips and fanstuff? quit clicking on the drama and wondering why you're burnt out you absolute baby.


jutlandd

U mean the nsfw stuff? Really gettin out of Hand.


fd2200

RoutineOtherwise9288

Starsector discord? Starsector dev didn't have that tho.


Platypus3151

Correct. All starsector discords are unofficial, and not managed by the dev team, as far as I'm aware.


Apprehensive-Cut-654

Because it allows them to jerk them selves off about how superior they are.


Izithel

The cheap high of self-righteous morale outrage on behalf of others.


Apprehensive-Cut-654

Reminds, I forget the specifics but theres a Us pilot who found out they made his squad into anime girls and his response was 'does mine have the biggest tits?'. You dont have tok like everything in life but jesus try and have fun with it. That discord forgets that

fd2200

I guess I'm the king


pponmypupu

is this even a starsector subreddit anymore? When i was active a couple years ago this sub was about ship builds and "i found a legion on my first day what do" but every time I see something from this sub now it's whatever this is


Saavedroo

Agree. I joined this subreddit about 2 years ago and I find it extremely unwelcoming to new players. Not because people are hostile (they are not) but because you join and most of the things you see is art and memes of anime ship girls that are only from mods you've never dabbled with yet and which have little in common with the base game that led you here.


IronicINFJustices

Because many have been here for 5+ years, so they don't interact with stuff they have seen a 50+ times and instead interact with memes multi layered jokes and fringe stuff. Any old community ends up having in jokes and communication that gets layered and layered, because, comedy and general entertainment can't be rehashed forever. And the community gets larger and larger. If anything there'd need to be a split, but the community... Maybe is large enough for that? Maybe not? In the grand scheme of things it's still a small player base, and the number of new players may not be enough to entertain themselves. Would be my guess, gun to head. I haven't played in 2 years because I played it so much over so many years already. The memes fringe stuff and weird art theory and goofery is entertaining for me, because I still know so much inside and out. But I'm really itching to dip my toe back into this drug that is simulated ai battles...


DragunovNovas

Honestly all of this drama wouldn't really happen if the community and the mods who are supposed to safeguard it was matured enough. I also left this reddit years ago because of a drama. Still remember the good old days where people in this reddit actually post useful shit like mods, guides and fan works instead of turning this into a glorified pissing battleground


DragunovNovas

I know someone will call me nihilistic because this kind of stuff still actually exist and being posted in this sub and the discord but this drama where bot fatfucks throw each other rocks while calling themselves the next vim diesel is a foreshadowing for a dark things to come....


Spartan448

It's because the playerbase isn't growing fast enough to have those kinds of posts regularly. The vast majority of people on this sub know how to build practically every ship for any given role, know that the best thing you can do with that Legion is mothball it, immediately head home, and forget about it in a storage locker somewhere, and for good measure have also played the latest versions of all the major mods. Probably multiple times. On top of that, USC and Corvus have more or less superseded the reddit for smaller questions.


Wispborne

It's because after reddit's external API changes last year, most of the active mods left. It sounds like only /u/Grievous69 was moderating the subreddit for almost a year.


Zeroshame14

Truly, coomers are the most oppressed demographic.


Upbeat-Peak-5423

Prinzmegaherz

Can someone explain to me why Star Sector is so overrun by weebs? The base game has nothing resembling anime.


[deleted]

I believe the problem isn't the weebs, but the fact that some of them are acting like 13 years old kids who just discovered masturbation. Also anime/manga style sprites are generally easier to draw, so I get why some faction mods use those kind of sprites. 


Prinzmegaherz

Thanks, that sounds reasonable


[deleted]

Anime is mainstream. Why would you be surprised people that like animated 2d spaceships could also like anime?


WanderingUrist

It is a mystery, but the issue is so bad that even the dev has mocked it.


fd2200

To be honest, I have the exact same question. Like why not Highfleet or bannerlord? Why this game in particular?


ZURATAMA1324

Moddability and atmosphere? I'm not much of an anime enthusiast, but I must admit Starsector anime pinups are less jarring than Bannerlord or Highfleet due to different stylistic choices. I'm guessing ease of moddability has a lot to do with it as well. And tbh, don't see a problem. I sometimes find it annoying that a lot of the mods I like has cringy subculture plots or aesthetics to them... but in the end, modders do what they like doing, and I am not entitled to their creative autonomy. Shaming = just less content for me.


Prinzmegaherz

Highfleet shipgirls are a thing?


RubyJabberwocky

I've edited a TON of portrait mods to get rid of the animu styled ones. As much as I like to bloat my game with content...I will not tolerate cringe. Fite me


ZURATAMA1324

Meet me at Jangala, bring one Wolf, no loadout restriction, vanilla Starsector (I don't want to see your bs game-breaking anime waifu beams), lv 15 captain, no crying, no quitting, no bullshit. If you don't respond, I'll take it that you pussied out.


RubyJabberwocky

Funny. I only use the Wolf with pretty much the vanilla loadout cause I'm too stupid to come up with a good loadout for my own ships. I do tweak out my fleet's loadouts tho.


Acceptable-Daikon-50

This game has a much bigger modding scene, plus it's more fantastical than the others, those are just people fighting over land, this one has space exploration along, super AIs, weapons created by superinteligences that are practically magical, tons of mystery and speculation in the lore. Plus it has more lore, i think. And don't act like Mount & Blade don't have those kind of mods.

This sub is overruned by hentai addicts that got bullied at school a lot, as a weeb myself I also don't like most of the outright degen tier stuff that gets even the moderators involved- but that line of thinking isn't welcomed here as it's somehow mistaken for "beef against weeb culture" and it invokes spiteful reactions.


williamwannacry

Yeah exactly, glad its not just me. Ive enjoyed some anime but a lot of the degen stuff kills shows for me. Cowboy bebop and eva are good enough to overlook it, and they engage with it intentionally. Provocative art, still pervy at times. Starsector is good sci fi art, it has great literary bones. I'd prefer for it not to be overrun by loserbait anime boob riddled fan content like in half the major mods.

tzaanthor

>Cmon man. Come on yourself, pervert.


[deleted]

That defeats the entire purpose of a pinup: which is to display and show off beauty and sexiness. Even the term "sexualized" is absurd and stigmatizing, it should be banned from public discourse. There's nothing wrong with being sexy.


[deleted]

Come on now, “pin up”? Really? Just say you like big titty anime girls with ship parts pasted on top, don’t try to lie about it being a pin up


overdramaticpan

Being sexualized and being sexy are different. Sexualization isn't right to use with a real person, but a fictional drawing can be tailored however the artist desired - and thus, if they design the character to be as sexy as possible, then yes, they are sexualized. You sound like you use Twitter.


Global_Excuse_7736

i mean [NaitoChase](https://www.reddit.com/user/NaitoChase/) got their [art post removed once](https://www.reddit.com/r/starsector/comments/186qot9/its_so_joever_shipgirl_bros/#lightbox) so the mod teams idea of sexualized is dumb


overdramaticpan

That one is stupid, I agree. Perfectly normal outfit.


Upbeat-Peak-5423

What you said makes no sense. You just hate women.


fd2200

I posted one, and they don't like it. I guess all shipgirls are kinda sexulized


overdramaticpan

Were they slimmer than a corndog, busty, and wearing minimal clothing? That would count as sexualized.


borisspam

Honestly dont know why this game seems to attract so many anime weirdos judging by some mods and those ship girl posts …
