My most requested feature of all time has arrived for VE users! You can now turn off the eye and head addons.

Fixes and balance tweaks.
Some big visual upgrades.

!!!
You will need **EITHER** Vanilla Expanded Framework (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2023507013), or Prosthetic Combat Framework (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2011169338) to make this mod work properly. If you are using version 1.3/Ideology, VE is strongly preferred.
!!!

This mod adds a race of sentient, biomechanical, miniaturized warships. They're mostly lore-friendly, in the sense that they are advanced personas, given personalities by arcane archeotechnology, which psionically draws from the human collective unconscious. For some reason, this means they all take the form of young women.

Also, there is a faction, of mysterious ghost ships from the future of a parallel universe, or something like that. Whatever they are, they have some really impressive weapons that you can only get by capturing and dismantling their elite troops, so that's an extra little challenge if you feel like having soldiers with artillery growing out of their backs makes the game too easy.

There are references to a lot of other science fiction in here, but if you're reading this, I assume you can already name two of them.

New ship girls can be created using archeotech cubes, salvaged by butchering dead ship girls, but their personalities can be abnormally intense and their traits are very random, and you'll need to build or salvage weapon systems to upgrade them to their full potential.


They do have significantly less firepower than a warship really should have, but that's just for balance.

Currently requires HAR, and Mohar Frameworks.

Changes:

(x) VEF version has Toggle option to disable rendering of comedically oversized anime eyes, and head addons, to support taller body textures.
(x) Adjusted background opacity on spacer tier hulls to 1/255, to prevent rounding errors, resulting in transparent squares, over pawns with certain hulls.
(x) Designated specific shaders for all bodyaddons, to ensure consistent behavior.
(x) Brawlers are no longer upset by wearing the VE versions of gunfists, AA guns or destroyer caliber guns. (VE added BrawlerCaresAbout negation tags. Thanks, LegoDude!)
(x) Update Spacer AA Weapons to match the previous ROF buff to industrial AA Weapons. Keeping Sisterhood vanguards away from you is significantly more important.
(x) Buff armor scaling on advanced Hull armors, from +50% per tech tier to +100% per, so Sisterhood are not made of paper. Keeping Sisterhood vanguards away should be harder than swatting flies.
(x) Buff Hull base armors, to compensate for the fact that ships can't layer armor on their rigging.

(x)New ship girls should pick subrace appropriate tattoo colors
(x)Sinister Girls have more diverse, but still alien skin tones
(x)Ultra-Tech Hulls have their own textures.
(x)Added tattoo masks for existing hulls.
(x)Added tattoo masks for existing keels.


** TODO **

To Fix:
() Adjust bodypart coverage, so torso no longer takes 17% of hits.
() Rebalance HP multipliers.
() Stray light emitters, possibly due to excess bodysize causing pathing issues.
() Nuclear Cola displays research requirements inconsistently. May be a Royalty vs. Vanilla thing.
() Update gun implants with even more info on their ranged attacks.

() Surely something else is broken.


Royalty Compatability

()Imperial Navy Faction
()Anima Spirit ship faction.
()Carriers as psycasters/summoners

1.3 Compatability

(?) Fix messed up addon layering, more.

(partial)Chance of random Industrial tier eyes on Gatcha ships.
()Update backstories with R/SR gear kit variants
()Convert Anima, Pirate and Outlander pawn kinds to basic/elite/boss format.(Storytellers better understand the relative danger of ship pawns. Raid danger is less random.)

() Make easier to disable eye graphics.

(partial)Higher cost gatchas with more specific drop tables.

()UR tier gatcha drops better synergize traits with gear (e.g. undergrounders with night vision)

() More hats! With 1.3, do we actually have too many hats? Less hats? The same number of hats, in different categories?
