SVE VRO Trimmed

Description
This mod is inspired by the Aesthetic Purist mods for SVE and VRO on Nexus Mods, but with a different focus.

Instead of focusing on visual style, this focuses more on removing excess numbers of ships for the sake of reducing mental load on players and balancing SVE a little more in VRO.

Source Code: https://github.com/dhollinger/x4_mods

As such, this removes the following ships from VRO and SVE:

X3 Frigate Models
  • Centaur - I just like the Cyclops better.
  • Panther - Not a fan of this ship at all.
  • Hyperion - Prefer the Artemis from Lint5's Paranid Guardians mod

Terran Cruisers
  • Makhaira - Too many Ter Cap ships
  • Shikoku - Too many Ter Cap ships

Argon SVE Ships
  • Aamon - Removed in favor of VRO's Corona Battleship
  • Enenra - Too many Frigates on the Argon side. For balance reasons, picking the Paracel over the Enenra
  • Skiron - Too many Frigates on the Argon side. For balance reasons, picking the Paracel over the Enenra
  • Basilisk - Too many Argon Destroyers and picked the Erebus instead.

Paranid SVE Ships
  • Tartarus - Removed in favor of VRO's Deimos Battleship
  • Pallas - Prefer the Artemis from Lint5's Paranid Guardians mod

Split SVE Ships
  • Copperhead - Removed in favor of VRO's Gharial Battleship
  • Python - Not a huge fan of this ship and prefer the Rattlesnake, Taipan, and Gharial (from VRO) over this.
  • Drake - In favor of the Taipan and Rattlesnake

Teladi Ships
  • Egret - Overshadows all other gunboats and the Teladi Gunboats are already really good. Axeface's Kea Corvette mod is also preferred.

Terran Ships
  • Valkyrie - The Asgard is a beast of a Battleship and the Terrans only need one Battleship.
  • Fenrir - The Syn is a great Destroyer already and the Terrans also have the Osaka. No need for a third. That said, the derelict Fenrir was left in the game.
  • Claymore - With the Triton (VRO) and Scimitar (SVE), the terrans don't need a third Frigate.

Yaki Ships
  • Akuma - Doesn't fit with the Yaki theme.
  • Akurei -Doesn't fit with the Yaki theme.
  • Bishamonten - Yaki doesn't need a capital ship, nor can they build it.

Looks like it will repair as long as nothing else is done with the work order.

The derelict Fenrir cant be repaired at the shipyard and repair drones dont seem to want to repair it either (not sure if thats related to this mod or not, but thought id mention it just in case).

Also, probably need to rename the Sapporo since I just realized one of the new DLC ships is called the Sapporo (I think).

I don't know when I'll get to that, kind of stuck in some major stuff at work

@Jeffbacca - any that have been built or spawned will stay (I need to fix it so that they keep their names), but you (and the AI) will be unable to buy or build new owns

Will I still be able to build the Sapporo or does it get completely removed?

@bonesbro I will look into adding the descriptions back for all ships that are removed. That way if the mod is added mid-game or job spawns disabled ships then descriptions aren't lost

SCA also spawns Plunderer Skirons.

The Fenrir ambush still spawns a Skiron, whose description is =ReadText6920222-2=. I think I have seen a few rare SCA Enenras which also have ReadText descriptions.

Incidentally, it's actually pretty cool to have them around as pirate-only. Maybe a few more of the cut ships, like these two and maybe the Pallas could make a return as SCA spawns? Some Variety to the same old SCA spawns. But possibly outside your scope and goals.

@Omega - do you know what ships or equipment are seeing issues? I just doublechecked one of my saves and the errors I see are for ships/equipment that existed before I enabled the mod on my game. This mod will remove additional versions of those ships from being created, but will not remove them from the save game if they already existed.

Desperately needs an update. Several errors in encyclepedia.
