Thanks for the reply. Ive been spawning them and blrue printing them. This would have been a very fun encounter mod to deal with.

In short, no sorry.
In long:

Due to a SSD failure which made me lose all of my game files and mod files within weeks if not days of releasing this, resulting diminishing interest in SE and eventually getting a new PC, I have lost every single blueprint for the existing ships and a catalogue of about 30-40 complete ships I intended to add in, alongside everything else I ever made in this game (I made all the ships first - it was the thing I was more passionate about, over the RivalAI programming.) Yes, I kept a backup, but it was foolishly also on this SSD - I expected the game files to bug out and break, not everything.

You can lift what you wish and retrofit or use it to any desire without crediting me or anything silly, I really don't mind about a few half-functional blueprints. Just spawn them in and disable them in any way you wish, or use the mod files.

Would you be willing to publish the blueprints for the ships?

Done, sorry for the delay. I also updated the page to better reflect the status of the mod.

Hey, any chance you could remove RivalAI as a required dependency? It conflicts with MES due to the redundancy.

Thanks!

Hi there, will this mod become updated? So it wont pulls the RivalAI anymore since it is not needed anymore...

It has been started for a full overhaul along with other things. I was a little held up since Feb due to world events but will be back working on it soon

is rivalai needed for this or not

PS: If I do get a mass amount of spare time it will probably be Dauntless I continue under a new name.

I have not heard anything further than giving permission for the rework, so it could be in the works, or abandoned on day one for all I know.

Considering a return to SE, however I will not be continuing this or Dauntless PvE Encounters unless I get a massive amount of spare time any time soon. Just putting this information out here for if it is in the works, because I potentially have designs that can be used in it, and will continue to make designs that are in line with the established faction theme if I pick SE up again.

Sorry for the massive disappointment of this mod, I learnt the hard way I just did not have the time nor skill to deliver the promised content, and figured prolonging a disappointment was not the way to go.

So i noticed in some of the previous comments this mod is 'Technically Abandoned' and some chatter about CaveBadger Re-working this for MES, was wondering if that was published or not, Thanks! :)

does this need both encounter spawners or will only having one work

this seems like it's going to make heavy attack craft and light recon and attack craft really standout in combat as before a like drone could take out a SPAT ore handling base with only twin mounted gats and gat turrets

I mean the mod is technically abandoned, so...
Not sure how the reboot is going along as I don't have any involvement in it, interested to see if it works out though.

I love these extremely difficult PVE mods .. they change the whole experience to the game... Give Indo some love

two javelin destroyer come to my starter base thats inside of an asteroid
they just smashed into it and now i have 2 half fucked destroyers of my own

It will yes Dampiir, As per the permission granted, I have started on a rework of it with out the Raival AI and the new MES frame work

So RivalAI says it's now obsolete (in the title) Is that going to affect this mod or has it affected it so far?

Wow , what a cool mod

Many thanks XM I will load and link you and this here if i manage to update and fix ok

Sure, as long as I get credit for the original ship designs used I don't mind at all.

Please could i have permission to look at updating this, If that is ok with you @XM-05

No problem, just got tired of playing the game and can't be bothered to rewrite it all to the new systems, the mod probably doesn't even work anymore. I should probably put outdated or abandoned in its title to be more clear about it, maybe change the description.

Oh, sorry, didnt know that :)

Yes, because the mod is dead as I don't play SE anymore.

It still needs RivalAI mod, which is obsolete and part of MES

If You made again planetary drones so please dont do that shit like other modders. Just make some more drones to attack player base but not f....n invasion 2 min after start a fresch game.

There is supposed to be, but the new Warfare update completely broke my version of SE, and everything I have tried has not fixed it, so I can't do much with this other than hope a bugfix resolves the error, or perhaps the 2nd warfare update.

Im confiuse a bit. Its there a planetary drones attacking player base or not ?

Yes, when I have time

Well you do on an update on it some time in the future?

Its meant to have more ships but I have a lot of things going on currently. If you don't like it, just unsub from it.

very dissapointed nothing spawning except scouts, wanted a challenge and by far has been the biggest let down. easiest npc mod by fair

Also nothing else spawned in the wolrd besides scout and tons over tons of Javelin jumping into my ships. No, it's not a misspell, some of them jumped into the upper bridge of my ship.

Will this work with the "slow spanw rate" frome Meridius? Cause I just got obliterated by 18 Javelin jumping on me after 10 mins of playing in.

So, is it like "normal" that me and my boys faced 30 ships?
'Cause now we have to rebuild half of our cruiser.

Oh, no worries. So it's more of a search and destroy thing once you get over that 20k PCU, they're not very likely to come to you if you have a station for instance? I was testing with a Station and a few ships all parked in one spot and never had a Grey ship come to me, but I didn't try seeking them out.

Things currently do spawn, they are just suited to heavy warships and more "the player attacks them" style encounters (Majority being high PCU, 20,000-30,000~ if I recall correctly). The second question is entirely up to you.

Apologies if this part was unclear in my original answer.

Okay, thank you for the response. So I should wait for the update for things to spawn in space?

Sorry for the lengthy responses, hope they solved the problems.

@namenloss
Hello, and thanks for the praise/feedback! I am aware of both issues you have mentioned and am going to be addressing them in the next update when it comes out (though I haven't had much time to work on this mod recently it is getting there). The solution for speed has mostly already been solved, and I have 2 possible solutions on the uranium, using MES's proprietary reactor, one that spawns the amount of uranium it needs in until the grid is no longer a valid spawn (I believe), or just to overhaul the ships to feature less/zero reactors.

@Geologian
Sorry for the really late response, but to explain, the mod isn't really "fleshed out" to say currently, although content updates are in the works for both the shipset and AI. Space currently has a lack of ships which I am hoping to address shortly, though planetary will also be getting more content along with this. I have received some feedback that ships aren't spawning in atmosphere but I've been unable to replicate the issue on both the public and test builds of the mod (I will keep trying however).

In response to your question about PCU, eventually the system will be moved to MES's threat score system to make the spawning system fairer, however in addition to this I hope to make a wiki (undecided what platform I wish to use yet) with information, lore and spawning conditions of every encounter on it, which I hope will answer this question in the future.

Hello, good mod and thank you for creating it but two things, drones have tendency to just crash very fast on ground (earth, no thruster/avionic, speed etc mod), second is they giving a tons of uranium almost for free.

Can you say what PCU spawns what level threat? I've got maybe 20,000 blocks in space and nothings spawning. Survival, cargo ships, drones, random encounters all activated, 50km antennas running, and Modular Encounters and Rival AI loaded, nothing else. I see the Grey Order faction in the faction list... did I do something wrong or do you need tons and tons of ships in orbit before they pay attention?

ok thanks, I'll try to create another world without the aerodynamics mod. Sorry if I sounded very rude, I don't have much knowledge of English and I use the google translator. Great mod by the way.

I'll have a look into the issue. The mod will never work with Aerodynamic Physics, however if the problem has persisted I will check it out. It's probably due to the atmosphere in that level, or empty reactors or something. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I'll fix it as soon as I find out what the issue is.

Aerodynamic Physics (Deadly Reentry + Drag + Flight) and Industrial Overhaul (add/change vanilla weapons among other things ). I disable the first one after a couple hours of starting the game.

Do you have any thruster/weapon/aerodynamic mods installed?
