The Flamebound (Meltdown ship pack: NO LONGER BEING UPDATED, SEE DESC.)

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Its been a while lol, I've taken a break from Cosmoteer to play/do other things and I'm not quite coming back still but I thought I should add a thingy here explaining a bit; To put it short, I'm done with this pack :p. Overall I had a lot of fun making it but the quality is not my best even if my best still isn't the greatest. I think I could've put more time into each ship (especially the paint). I will leave this ship pack here but it will never become a mod or get new ships (the ships are probably broken from all the updates too).

I want to try again some day with a slightly different theme but maybe the same faction (in terms of lore/name). It may be a bit longer till I get into the game again but keep an eye out for a new Flamebound or some sort of fiery named faction for the future. Next time I promise to put my BEST into each ship even if updates will be slower.

I'll leave the old description unchanged except for the removal of my progress section towards the mod version as that will never happen.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A work in progress custom faction that focuses on overclocking and heat. Currently just a ship pack but I want to make it into a full working faction eventually. (I've got a base working for a faction mod, now its just a matter of getting a bunch of ships)

Please do let me know what you like and don't like about the ships (or lore), I'll try my best to work with feedback If believe it'd improve on my designs.

FYI: I'm not the most talented ship builder or painter, I'm actively learning as I make these ships. I will go back to improve older ship's design or paint If I believe it needs it and as I learn.

*There are not screenshots for each individual ship, only some. The screenshots may be outdated as I edit/improve ships.*

Lore:

(Lore will change/evolve/be added to as I work on the ship pack)
An organized group of once pirates who revolutionized the use of heat and fire in combat. The Flamebound began as any other group of pirates, they held themselves to a standard but would gladly intercept and pillage any ship they got their hands on. The crew was 50 strong and their ship focused heavily on large cannons and armor. It began when the crew went out on a normal intercept using intel traded on the black market. The ship they encountered looked to be a simple Monolith hauler however after ambusing and disabling it they discovered it was an undercover research vessel. The engineers there held the beginnings of Flamebound's pyro-technology. They held important data and research on increasing the abilities of cannons. The crew took their findings and the people aboard the vessel to the current headquarters of the pirate group where after striking a deal to protect the engineers from Monolith and to make them all rich they began work on overclocking research. They discovered the need for large amounts of thermal transportation, dissipation, and unmatched insulation to protect the ships internals which lead to the invention of heat pipes, thermal batteries and radiators as we know it today. The Flamebound worked undercover for years slowly building up their numbers and fleet while the engineers worked away until they made their debut. With the help from the newly developed Thermal Resonance Lance they attacked and burned an entire fleet of Imperium combat ships, leaving the wrecks behind for others to find. Over the years after the debut they built up an army of ships and dedicated people. The Flamebound also began to inhabit quite a few colonies throughout for those who have retired or those with families. The standards the original crew held themselves to also expanded into a set of laws that the once pirate faction follows. These laws evolved over time which narrowed the attacks of the Flamebound towards the other 4 factions, primarily Imperium and Monolith. This eventually led to their laws protecting neutral parties and civilians; turning the once pirates into a form of a galactic nation and government. Even after the switch to nation the Flamebound carry the symbol of pirates on their fleets as a warning to their enemies.

In the more recent years the Flamebound have developed overclocked versions of many weapons and modules and have territories covering over 14% of the known galaxy. Other factions have managed to learn from salvaged Flamebound ships and have begun incorporating and researching the tech into their own ships. Attempts to find engineering facilities and the headquarters of the Flamebound are nearly impossible as they are closely guarded secrets that only the most high ranking individuals know of.
