I am very confused how I managed to miss 95% of scenes in Chapter9, only getting some images in the Hegemony Log and the Aquan solution, so I'm curious how one is supposed to get all the others

In general I think a Gallery Unlocker would be very nice, cause it's not very engaging to replay the same two chapters 30 times to get all the Slave Scenes for both gender routes
Getting one "type" of them should allow you to push a button to unlock all similar ones imo

Let me look into those problems (no idea why the world anvil thing is doing that, it works in preview... strange). As for how to unlock scene in Episode 9 Aloshan, talk to crew member you want the scene for, talk to another crew member, then go talk to the one you want the scene for again (this was because the plot has a time jump between the initial discussion and the 'later that night' part)

As for a Gallery Unlocker, I'm generally not a huge fan of those things, but I may put one in in the future as we near Episode 11 (or make finishing Episode 11 once unlock them all, idk)

I'm not sure where I am supposed to talk with whom. In an earlier episode?

The full list of options I have in Ep9 Aloshan is:

- I'm not following / So we were displaced in space and time?
- [Sympathetic] / [Curious] / [Disbelief] to the Captain
- Follow Captain's Recommendation / Iliya interrupts and makes an Aquan appeal
- Yes, but if we jump in that ripple with Inanna / Yes, but we could take a shuttle into there
- Tactical Choice: Michael/Rin
- Engineer: Armin/Sam
Then there's a long scene where we get attacked etc, and get to TO BE CONTINUED

E: Okay I think I figured it out, you don't get the other scenes if you had sex with the doctor

Seeen some text errors earlier, my bad.
That one is funny tough :
CH8, post discussion with resident of the Commander. He get back to his room and find Nikka.
Who is there to thank him about the VR event, which was a great part.
So, :
“Welll, I should be ready for this whole ... has no problem with multiples parters...”
Partners.

funny is a language thing, un parterre is a (often scenic) land area closeby. While French, it is not part of the current used language, no big surprise given we to use at most 700 words as base.

Well... I guess now I finally know how Spoony of Channel Awesome felt about Ultima IX. Sure I wanna go shouting "Betrayal!" at Mad Doc but honestly - I'm just really really disappointed and tired.
2 years waiting for an update - that on my chosen Haegemony path had one screen of MC enjoying a threesome with the crew. Not even a full scene. No. One image - one .webp with one line of text. If I replay the scene as male MC with every single potential companion option in every combination - it's 17 images. Not scenes, not animations. 17 images out of the 1300 that drmaddoc47 says are in this update. (less than 40 for both male and female) With one to two lines of text at most.

Without bragging or exaggerating I can say in an hour I could triple the amount of sex screens (or turn them into actual scenes) if I had access to drmaddoc47's models. Just take the carefully prepared and arranged scene, rotate the camera around, take 2 more still images, write down 5 more lines of text - done in less than an hour. Most of it waiting for rendering while I scribble down whatever sexy stuff I can think up with the renders I have. Definitely not rocket science, I've done it in the past. End result - Haegemony path has 17 different sex-scenes instead of 17 blurbs that you can miss if you blink.

But sadly that didn't happen. For drmaddoc47 the sex apparently isn't important - no - seems it's actually a distraction. From what? The truly original never-before-seen sci-fi of course. Because that's why we're all here. We're on this and other porn sites in search of the freshest most original sci-fi tale told ever since Asimov and Clark. Not because we're looking for a fun/interesting AVN. No. We're here to witness art.

I get that drmaddoc47 has a life, kids and was affected heavily by Covid. I knew I shouldn't expect the update to actually be worth 2 years of wait. But I sure as hell expected it to have more than one sexy .jpg on each path. When I look at how much other games accomplished in half the time - Desert Stalker for example - one of the most interesting games that came out lately, with intriguing story, plenty of mystery and gorgeous art - has done in one year more than Starship Innana did in six.

It's really sad to see so much wasted potential because the author can't be bothered to keep actual sexy fun in his game and spend 1-2 more hours doing a few more renders and writing a few more lines to ensure that the players actually feel that the update was fun. I'd be okay if the issue was some technological hurdle. I totally get the 2 year wait. What I just can't understand or accept - is the laziness - believing your audience will be just fine and dandy with one short sex screen and then they'll go wait 2 more years for you to continue your grand space opera. Days spent on rendering scenes of guys in knock-off Mass Effect armor and dead aliens instead of a few more hours spent on rendering sexy scenes.

To sum it up - "thanks for all the fish - I'm out." It's honestly disappointing to have to write this. As I wrote some 2 years back - Starship Innana was the second adult VN I ever played. I looked up to the Mad Doctors. I'm not bitching about the time it took. I'm disappointed on how little stuff that I care about - of time spent with my crew - is in it. How small the percentage of the stuff made. I wish good luck to drmaddoc47 and whoever is staying here for the tired sci-fi plot. Hope there is enough of you to finance the game long enough to get an actual ending. Might try it then when it's finished/abandoned. For now - peace!

I have a bug with the continuation. On the Hegemony path the saves go from chapter 8 to chapter 7 and the gameplay time is really small

It's because at least one of the non-human races represented in the game evolutionarily doesn't have a gender. It's not about self-ID among them; they literally don't have XX or XY. So they are a neuter gender. To show this difference (and since he, she, etc., don't apply because they are gendered pronouns), MadDocs uses the gender-neutral ze / zem / zir. I assume it / it / its aren't used because although those are gender-neutral as well, they tend to imply an object or lack of sentience, which also doesn't apply here.

It makes the text somewhat difficult to understand for people whose language is not English, but I finally understood. I'm still wondering where those bizarre words have come from. Why don't we all speak a language which has no gender (Japanese, Turkish, Persian...)?
