Interstellar Overlords

This mod uses MES to spawn hostile drones that will attack you as soon as they find you. This mod contains only space based spawns.

The project code name was Overlord when it was in development. It was meant to provide security to the inhabitants of an ancient planet. Project Overlord was an autonomous, self replicating drone planetary defense force. Who would have thought something like that could go wrong? Who would have guessed that the drones would decide keeping their creators on the planet was just as important as keeping invaders off of it? The drones decided to keep their code name once they broke from their creators control. And now the Interstellar Overlords have spread from system to system. They view space as their domain and they don't want to share it. Stay on a planet to stay safe...venture into space at your own risk.

This mod uses Lord Wiader's Tiered Systems (LWTS) in order to allow drones to scale up as players scale up. Passing a threat level will cause drones to spawn with Tier 2 blocks, pass another and drones will spawn with Tier 3 blocks, up to Tier 5. Higher Tiers provide longer range weapons, higher damage, better thrusters, etc. LWTS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE DEPENDENCY LIST OF THIS MOD, you will need to add it manually. There is a link below to the LWTS Mod. I've done this so people who don't want to use LWTS can still use this mod.

While you can still use this mod if you don't use LWTS the drones will not scale as well into the late game since they will continue to use vanilla weapons, thrusters, etc. They do become a bit more dangerous based on some behaviors but they will be far more deadly with the LWTS mod enabled.

There are currently 15 different drone models. 3 large grids which can call in reinforcements and 12 small grid drones that either spawn on their own or provide support to the larger grids. Note, a couple of the small drones are packed with warheads and will be quite happy to ram your ship. There is a certain amount of RNG involved in the spawns and you may well get unlucky early on and have a rather powerful force show up.

Thank you to -=KptKosmit91=- for letting me use his mod in my mod. This is the BEST tiered block mod in the game, you should really try it! Link to LWTS below.
