As a general rule from my own experience with this mod as well as the Star Trek total conversion mods, viewing space battles at slow or slowest helps.

Nevermind, the alteration to make it visually pleasing is so tiny that I can do it even if you updated every day. With that, awesome mod, it's come a long way. Massive kudos for keeping this mod going and dealing with the community.

because its the closest i could get to the actual cycle time, without it being basically nothing.

Slight complaint about the mod, why are the phasers so quick in their firing cycle? They flash out very quickly and then turn off with very little chance to enjoy seeing the phaser fire itself.

also limited to 2 per ship

update:
1, cannon weapons now renamed to turrets
2. ship behaviour module added
3. new weapon for each type added
new cannon wepaon for disruptors/plasmas/polaron
new beam weapon for phaser
a new ship section for corv/des/crs/bs
new eapons are intended to be used on the new secftions as they are supposed to be fixed
fring arc weapons, you may use them in any slot but they are intended for the new sections
these new weapons are player on;y. as the AI designer has no idea how to place them
properly

fixed the tractor icon issue, a well as new icons for weapons, so they are not goofy edited screen shots from tv/games

its an old redundnat tech for a components i removed, currently has no function

Phaser Weapon Core Upgrade T1 is the tech I was thinking of! it has a picture of photo torpeoes but doesn't show any applied effects or anything.

Mod works~! That being said some minor things-
1- torpedoes for small slot would be cool
2- tractor beams seem to be missing their image when looking at the slot options, but when you place it down it has its image.
3- I saw a tech for phasers that I think was saying it was an upgrade or enhancement, but didn't list any bonuses or boosts for the weapons?

Anyone got ideas for special weapons for each type. Ive got an idea for the romulan shield siphon that the d’deridex has in STA. Just need other ideas for different ship sizes and races.

All good.

Yes, I read everything.
I've now loaded all my mods individually.
The error was mine; a trait mod was hiding it.
Your mod is working for me now, too, sorry.

works fine, have you read bullet point 3?

Is your mod compatible with 4.0.21? I don't think so.
Why? You don't get any research suggestions in 4.0.21.
Please upgrade to 4.0.21, that would be great. Thanks

Thank you.

its not a component

if you picked the trait you get the tech,

does this work when you use the Vanilla weapons, too?
Or only when all Weapons are ST or Mixed?

its inbuilt, you get it from one of the starting techs for each weapon

I just saw the weapons. how to get the SL-Speed?

trek space fights are essentially like having a knife fight in a phone booth, its why i gave them short ranges, but also gave them 50% extra sublight speed.

so, aren't the Weapons a bit short-ranged?
or do I miss something?

i only have a borg shipset available to the public

Well there is a borg shipset

Does it come with a shipset or have to be gotten separately

@GENOBEESRAGE well thats fair enough. I look forward to it!

Which is why i dont mind doing T6 components for stuff like armours and shields. As those only have visual effects in the designer and not on the map. I have an interesting idea for the hyper drive. Behaviour is already gonna get its own thing.

GENOBEESRAGE gonna have to disagree with you on that one, boss. ALL the mods i mentioned have unique sounds, particle animations, and mechanics. The forrunner engines provide jump drive capabilities built into the engines with a cooldown. Longer range than normal jumps as well. Thats just one example. literally all of them provide all the things you listed. None of them are just cosmetic. Your point is just that you think that theyre all numbers and thats true. But only to a certain degree, because you gotta count the gameplay unique mechanics, sounds, particle effects, etc.

Plus arent you using the particle effects of existing star trek mods anyway? just port whatever mod youve been harvesting into this one. Youre already halfway there anyway. Just add regenerative shields, plasma shields, polarized armor, etc. AS it stands, trek is STILL the only major scifi franchise WITHOUT these things as a standalone mod

Dude its updating every day

Now you just need to fix the Version error hihi.
Still good work <3

should be fixed, it was also on the pulse phaser and disruptor cannon. i had already fixed plasma

Advisory: T1 Large Polaron Cannons have +300% Shield Damage, -100% Armour and Hull damage. Medium and Small are +10% shield penetration, -25% shield Damage, +25% armour damage. Looking at Tier 2, it's large Cannon seems 'normal'(That is, in line with the Medium and Small cannons).

in reality those things are cosmetic only, so they are less likely to be done, where as ships and weapons you see and hear them,

updated for 4.0 havent added on hit effects yet, so it is still backwards compatable.

@GENOBEESRAGE hey ill take it. Better than nothing! It still baffles me that we have star wars weapons and subsystem mods everywhere. UNSC weapons and subsystems. Warhammer 40k weapons and subsystems. Just not start trek. Only ship sets and weapons. No shields. No armor. No specialized drives, etc

maybe something like T6 components but not for every tier as that would be redundant

@GENOBEESRAGE is there any plans to include various other subsystems like shielding to this mod? you know, just to complete the immersion. Theres plenty of shipsets out there and your mod for weapons but no mods that give trek shields or armor and such

I think its about even.

Soo... means overall they are stronger? Will they win all fights fleet vs fleet with a clear victory? its just i dont want AI to steamroll other ai's. I made around 40 Factions of different universes. So for the last step i try to handle as much lore comform mods as i can. I found a star wars weapon mod pretty balanced, now i hope to find something with startrek also like this^^

Substantially shorter range. But you also get a 50% sublight speed boost.

They are a bit stronger dps wise. Especially torps. But have less range

heyaaa. Nice mod <3 You did pretty nice work here! Do you know how balanced these weaposna re compared to normal stellaris weapons?

but you generally want the shortest range

i will e adding a custom one, because i also noticed it struggled with ranges, especially with ASB enabled, i am thinking it will charge into 10 range bbefore retreating to 50 and then returning again, with bonuses to base speed and acuuracy

Is there any recommendation for a combat computers mod to go with this? Vanilla combat computers make long-range variants very ineffective to use as they're usually held back so much barely anything fires.

updated, rebalanced the other 3 weapons types, to the same standard as polaron, added fighters for polaron, new cannon gfx.

thanks

Add a trait to your species during empire creation, phaser, disruptor, plasma or polaron. And you get them as start techs.

How do you actually get the weapons? are they availble from the start or do they show up as research?

updated, removed the edicts, and added a tractor beam weapon, it wont do tractor beam stuff till on hit effacts are in.
