Main Game Loop

cold war -> hot war -> defeat boss -> cold war -> repeat...

Void Clan will only appear where the player has begun to build up in power. Aggressive encounters will only appear once the player has established a significant threat in a sector of space. Attacking Void Clan cargo ships, outposts, and patrols will eventually incite the faction to war.

Once a message that war has been declared is displayed, more aggressive and challenging encounters will appear. Some will directly attack the player or any other nearby NPCs. Defeating enough stations, battleships, and patrols will allow for the boss fleet to spawn.

Defeating a boss encounter will reset the mod status back to cold war. The player can choose to escalate combat again or ignore the faction.

Encounter Types

This is a combat focused mod for players who enjoy militarized engineering and tactical thinking. The encounters are able to be overcome with a vanilla setup, though they are designed to add better PvE variety for players who enjoy WeaponCore, Defense Shields, and other combat-enhancing mods. Adding NPC defense shields and weapon randomization is encouraged.

Standard Cargo Ships will present opportunities to score significant quantities of resources. This boost may be necessary to compensate for the destruction caused by harder encounters.

Patrols can range from a group of small starfighters to large battlecruisers or torpedo destroyers. Some large ships release squads of starfighters, some large volleys of torpedos, and some can strike a variety of targets at once.

Space stations will also focus on launching varieties of starfighters or volleys of torpedoes at the player.

Militarized playstyles are necessary to resist Void Clan. Experiment with underground bases, optimized point defense placement, automated defense drone production, and player-made-weapons. Very large ships are vulnerable to torpedoes, while small ships can dodge them easily. A variety of weapons may be necessary to stop the toughest encounters. Prepare for war!
