This is a good mod. However, i can not remember to have tested this mod extensively for you?

i fight this faction whenever i find them they put up a challenge in groups but no matter the circumstance they haven't killed my capital ship ever{obliterator osirus 250kP} still fun to fight

Update 2018-06-30:

Balance tweaks to existing parts. Added five new parts and one new ship.

New Components:

---

- Heavy Collector: Much larger version of the collector. Pull in resources and enemy ships from long range.

- Nova Rocket Turret: Fires explosive rockets with a good rate of fire.

- Gunship Launch Bay: Launches heavily armoured gunships armed with a turreted miniature perdition cannon.

- Heavy Flak Battery: Like a flak battery, but considerably larger.

- Firebolt Light Artillery: Burst-fire light artillery gun with good velocity and range, but a long reload between bursts.

This faction is difficult to combat but their weakness is range. They can be easily defeated with long range missile spam.

With a 11,000 P 'Ethereal' faction battleship armed primarily with missiles (30-40 of 'em) I could consistently defeat those 25,000 P monstrosities, with little risk to myself. So long as I stayed at long range (over 5000 units away) they're no threat.

I'm now playing as this faction now... it seems pretty cool so far.

Merry Christmasu

Been playing a bit with this installed and they're a good addition to a no-p-limit experience. The Ascendancy's "overpowered" nature means they're strong enough to still matter when you're at a point where other factions' toughest ships are no longer a threat.

The Ascendancy is a challenging faction to go up against. They excel at space control with their durability and slow but powerful and longlasting projectiles (again, the torpedo) which quickly stacks up. This is a major obstacle to overcome when playing as a mobile, close combat faction as more often than not your speed will make you dash straight into torpedoes. Expect missiles to be unreliable at best as the Ascendancy have very solid point defenses.

The counter to them is range. The Ascendancy's weapons are easy to outrange as only the main guns and lasers hit past 2k. The torpedoes as stated above will keep you on your toes but as long as you keep an eye on distance, they shouldn't be too hard to punch a hole in. The EAF has powerful long-range beams for a hard counter against the Ascendancy. Any quickly regenerating drone launchers can be used to intercept torpedoes by letting your drones fly into them.

moonlightfox - The tractor feature on the lights is just because of the visual effect (adds concentric circles in the middle of the block, which also makes it brighter when zoomed out). It's not actually meant as a tractor block (the "Collector" part is the real tractor), thus the zero range. I'll remove the P cost on lights in the next update though.

@Sir.Raphael Are you using Altered Vanilla? I was having that same bug, moving Altered Vanilla to the end of my mod load order fixed it!

The 1P "Light" part, an R tractor, has a range of 0. Is that a bug? I feel like if you just meant it for show it wouldn't have a P cost!

but it's hard to fight against though with all the firepower ;-)

looks beautiful!

@Sir.Raphell - Can't say for sure, but my guess would be its conflicting with another mod (or multiple). Try moving it to the top of the mod loading order and see if that fixes it; if not let me know and I'll look into the issue further.

Not sure if its a bug, but every time i start the game, spawn on the very edge of the map with a single mothership, plus whenever i go back to mothership its not there.

I'd love to square off my "Monolith" and "Quartz" factions against this one, they seem very similar!

Looks Amazing

I find the Default Terra Faction really easy to make a bit of everything with. This faction is great because it stops me from constantly building fighter ships ,-,

Yea, really like the lore as always, really sets the tone for the creative. Pretty neat ship designs also, especially the smaller frigates which i do admire. GJ :P

On a purely visual note, the Burning Blade ships look seriously cool. I love the bronze plus gunmetal gray palette.

Intriguing lore; it "sets the stage". Very well-written mod description,too! You told the prospective player what he or she needs to know in order to best inform them whether this mod is a fit with their interests. Thank you for that - too many mod creators fumble that part (some pathetically badly).

Gorgious.
And with incredibly entertaining weapons.
Excellent job Owl!

Very beautiful as always Owlfeathers.
