You can start the hangar inspection from the bridge while Juno is working there.
Domination doesn't have to be cruel or destructive. Nor does it have to be against the will of the person involved. In fact, true domination is generally achieved with the cooperation of the submissive. However, that doesn't mean the dominant party lacks agency. The best results I've seen tend to be a situation where a submissive wants to be changed and the dominant directs the changing. There are elements of that in this game, quite a few. I would argue that Lili is exactly this case, she wants to be a 'bad girl' and cannot get herself to be. The player steps in and provides the force and directs that desire in ways the player wishes.
I think a little bit more...forceful dialog would not be missed, but keep in mind the premise. The player has forced these girls into working for him, and is cheerfully using their psychology and group dynamic to shape them into an exhibitionist harem. This is...quite the power play. Of course, this would be me taking your point seriously, rather than dismissing you as someone who has zero real-life experience with dominating a woman. Which I am far to polite to do casually.
I'll back that principle. Though I would say some more exploration of the more forceful style of domination is always nice, with the proper characters of course. Lili is obviously someone who needs a more gentle approach, where's Juno needs a much harsher approach, which you already reflect in your interactions. Ada...well, she's pretty clearly just in it for having fun with it. But it would be nice to see how much change is taking place. After all, the girls don't start out nearly as lewd as they end up, and that is clearly the player's influence.Username checks out.
If you're looking for bad things happening to girls, I suggest giving my current and future games a wide berth.
I've always thought of the term as 'repectful domination' which is more about respecting the individual personalities of the submissives involved, rather than making identical slut-clones through cruelty and force. And I think we need more of that sort of style.

Well, people and tags often confuse d/s with s/m. Thats why i always say i hate both. But on a light level, hell, i never was against it when a (not gruesome) girl ordered me playfully to knee or spread my legs. But thats the maximum i can handle. As soon as someone tries to insult, humilate or force me i autoswitch to fightmode. And since i cant supress my mentality i lose the interest in games that step over this line as well. So i'm happy this game dont goes too far and i hope it stays that way, many others decorated my recycle bin.
To be fair, while she did a lot of that, her uncle was the main one who forced them to stay there, and their own greed and thoughtlessness that got them in that position in the first place. Hard to blame her for taking advantage of the situation for her own goals, she is their best chance to survive against her uncle anyway, and following her, they will help rule a small (for now) empire while exploring their true selves.

Seems like a win for everyone there, even if they were not 100% willing at first. XD
You didn't mention Sam and frankly I don't understand what's in it for Sam either. Looks like she begrudgingly does it just because everyone else does. She's not shy like Lili (working naked on her pirate ship with almost no nudging from MC), doesn't get off on showing herself like Ada, is not a sub like Juno.Domination doesn't have to be cruel or destructive.

She opens up later as they get friendly and the MC helps her, and you will learn of her kinks as we go.

Oops, I put an extra whitespace in that one sprite... Good catch.
That said, don't go fucking around with the variables and then complain about errors; Juno is not yet supposed to wear that outfit.
I never claimed to be anything but a low-down cheating bastard who made his own trouble. just that there's trouble.
Since I can't raise Life Support higher than level 3 and the game says that I have finished the available part of the main story, may I ask whether it can be raised higher and how? I keep losing money everyday because many improvements which require higher Life Support are locked. I don't mind if I have to wait for the next update, I just want to know.

I don't mind if I have to wait for the next update, I just want to know.You're not supposed to lose money unless you do every single upgrade and hire all the fighter pilots you can. The defence upgrades may cost more (much more) money than they save. And yes, AFAIK you have to wait for the update.Since I can't raise Life Support higher than level 3 and the game says that I have finished the available part of the main story, may I ask whether it can be raised higher and how?

Well, fighters and pilots are imho wasted money. Upgrade the shild, buy 2 ion pulse cannons (you dont need anything more to kill enemy fighters) and improve the regenerations in the lab. Then you only need a few repair drones to use once the hull is lower than 50% and simple weapons to blow up pirate ships. If you focus on traders it wont take long until the pirates attack every night and without wasted upkeep money you earn tons of loot to sell, which draws more pirates, ...its currently hard work to lose money if you spend it right and i dont even built the stripclub and brothel. It was far worse in 0.1 since pirates wouldnt attack often enough to earn their downkeep ^^
Check the characters before you make your endsave, they may still have their own quests left, the overview only shows the main story.

Yeah, life support level 4 gets unlocked in 0.5. Until then, you can keep your finances afloat by murdering enemies and trading goods on the galactic marketSince I can't raise Life Support higher than level 3 and the game says that I have finished the available part of the main story, may I ask whether it can be raised higher and how?
Quick warning: Combat in 0.5 will be
a) less buggy (meaning that ion pulses now actually get consumed as intended
), andb) a bit more difficult, because you will encounter rebel cruisers and enemy ships can now field reserve squadrons instead of just reinforcing damaged ones.
I'd recommend saving some cash for fighter and defence upgrades.
That is more or less what happens already. Districts/modules only give positive/negative reputation up or down to a certain point, which causes a natural balance that only gets upset by a few factors including security issues, random economy events, and the clientele you host.
The balance itself is one of the things I'm constantly tweaking; feedback is very welcome.

Well, it would be natural if the pirates visit you more often and demand more if you pay them for their visits...thats why govs dont make deals with terrorists, except to hire them ^^
And even if it reduces my own income, they should visit less frequently if none of their ships ever comes back, not only because you proofed to be a lethal threat, but also because they dont have infitite ships, even the royal fleet would be thinned out if you blow up 4-6 every single day and they have the shipyards, manpower and money to built nonstop.
If you plan to improve battle you should also consider the docked ships, not every merchant travels with an unarmed cargo drone and their ass is on the line as well if your station blows up...same with smugglers if you focus on black markets, even both if you are neutral. And once you have the system you should be able to build your own shipyards...

That's a good point, I'll see how I can implement that without making it overbearing.
Another interesting idea, but very difficult to wrangle into the current system without extensive changes. I'll dive into that and hireable mercenaries once I've chewed through some of the other things I'm working on.
Again worth a look when I have time. Currently, the main factor for enemy density is reputation. I'd love to have a regenerating "pool" of enemies that depends on galactic economy, sector economy, reputation and other small factors, but that's yet another massive project I'm not immediately willing to tackle.
That's currently in the works. I had planned to release fleet management in 0.6, but it's a lot more complicated than I initially thought, so I'll have to delay it.
