Ram-30 pd does not seem to be working, its ammunition is bugged out. UMP45 had the same issue too. Besides that this mod is looking great, probably my favorite modded ships design wise.

So if people just avoid the corvette and 1st rate ship of the line, the mod seems to work great!

Okay, yeah turns out the two ships I tested were the only two ships with any actual issues lol. I tested all but one and the other seem to work perfectly fine, both balance wise and functionality.

I appologize if my earlier comment was a bit of an exaggeration to the actual state of the mod, my first impressions may have been skewed, I'm not sure.

To anyone reading this: take my earlier comment with a grain of salt. I strongly recommend testing it out to determine if it meets your needs before spending too much time fleet building, but it might end up meeting your needs perfectly fine, I'm not sure.

Also I may have gotten very unlucky in the ships that I tested, and they may not be representative of the average state of the mod, unlike what I thought.

intended firepower* to be clear.

Ah that actually makes sense for the corvette, you're probably right about that, sorry. Maybe the DC is just not what I'm used to.

I talked to komet07 as well and it seems to me that it's just a different perception of the magnitude of issues. I care a great deal about balance, as an over- or under-powered ship is one that is either not fun for the user or the opponent in my experience. And if a ship can only use half of it's firepower, or use turrets only as spinals, that is a problem to me, where others might not see those as issues.

actually the DC teams thing may just be the corvette being so tiny and components so close together that they don't actually get to render as moving

Checked corvette, nothing appears wrong with its DC board?

About things looking off.
I am no artist and DC board work is about as dull as it can get. I templated a DC board setup once and then just stuck to that for literally everything.

Couple months after that the game had a DC board rework. I didn't adapt anything to the new system because, as stated, I hate working on DC boards.

Like, the mod is not broken.

It works. About as well as everything else does.

The Anesta Farel's DC board is working as designed. Corvette I'll check

For me the Anesta Farel's dc board is just a bunch of coloured bars with lists of components, where the dc teams move along the bottom of the screen half cut off and then teleport to a component. The corvette does have a dc board, but components don't highlight if you try to prioritize or restore them, and you can't see dc teams moving around the ship like you can with vanilla ones, so something is messed up there I think. They also just look very off.

And yes I mean the Anesta Farel as the 4.5k ship.

To be clear I didn't mean any offense with my previous comment, and I'm genuinely sorry if any was taken. I know modding in this game is very hard, and I'm really looking forward to seeing this mod fixed. The models and effects are fantastic and I think it has a lot of potential. I didn't even know you could have rotating hull parts like the Anesta Farel's, that's really cool.

- DC Boards are bugged

Do elaborate

- ships turn the wrong way

Turret unmasking behaviour is fucked, always has been. Its unintuitive as hell to set up properly

- 4.5k ship v 12k

Presumeably you mean the Anesta Farel

Warning to anyone wanting to use this mod: It is completely broken in every sense of the word right now. Balance is out the window with a 4.5k ship beating a 12k vanilla fleet in a direct fight, the DC menus are bugged, ships turn the wrong way so their turrets can't fire, etc.

The mod looks awesome, like the ship models are super cool and the idea of it I think would be really neat to see, so I recommend checking it out again after it's fixed, but until it's updated again I would not bother trying this out unless you just want to have unbalanced space battles and don't mind a lot of bugs.

(Posting this so others don't make the same mistake that I did in spending a lot of time building ships for it only to realize it's completely broken).

The description appears to be wildly out of date.

this game also desperately needs a Legend Of The Galactic Heroes ship and weapon mod

I love the ships as well as weaponry you've added! Unfortunately I'm not seeing the strike craft, same as Alderon :(

Noticed an outlandishly performance hit with the RAM-30. Recently came across this issue in the Kruiper mod too with their rapid fire PDT.

For some reason strikecraft don't seem to be available? Curious if this is just me or anyone else seeing this issue?

Noticed the wake signature of this fleet has not been updated like Aegir was, Super Caps too.

There appears to be an issue with the RAM-30 and the 25mm ammuntion, as it's not utilizing it even if it is loaded on ships and gives a warning saying the ammuntion is not used by any system aboard the ship.

Is Gladius Fightercraft not in mod yet?

Now that carriers are out, you could make a fighter that is basically just a flying gun. all it would really need is laser spinals and its done (I would have it only have 1 small spinal and then the rest of the fighter is just so it can move)

mounted 7 beams on one capital ship, gave it a top speed of 40 m/s, and gave the beams a cooldown time of 12 seconds... all for 3000 points.... only slightly busted lol

@HappyTechpriest new patch is out with two new ships

Awesome mod! Love the ships and weapons.

Big question here, though; are you still working on the mod? Love to see more content!

Yep, sorry about that

I think you are on the wrong mod. Neptune is a Starshield ship.

When the fighter update comes out do you plan to rework the Gladius?

Great mod dude. First mod I've personally seen that incorporates smaller fightercraft.

Also holy moly the Gladius punches waaaaay harder than I thought it would. The missiles alone will tear apart medium-sized ships within a burst, and an Axford can deploy EA-99s and there'll still be enough missiles not seduced to cripple it.

Not to mention those heckin lasguns!! Those things shred monitor armour like paper. But the fragility when they are hit with even 100mm HE shells does offset that. Looks like the DP PDTs from OP: BL will have bigger fish to fry now :3

Can we have a BB ship?

Lol. Thank you for informing me and thanks for updating this mod it's great.

I also broke the gladius by updating a DLL so that will be fixed when I get around to it

Gladius can no longer contest points.

I wanted to write that into the changelog
but I got distracted

What did you change this update? I had a look though the mounts and modules and didn't see anything. Was it all bugfixes or something else?

I do love these little ships, but I think they might be a bit...fragile, for their costs/roles
a CM or two of armor being added is advised, at least in my opinion
Also, I feel like the Daedalus' spinals tend to struggle to get on target if both are tasked on something at the same time, due to their spacing

Just fixed thruster textures on the Daedalus

What was the new update about? Got a 200mb update for this mod so i'm curious what was added

Am I just daft or is the decal just not available? Doesn't seem to be in the Workshop folder so I'm not sure how you got screenshots with them sporting the insignia.

hopefully you can fix rockets not being useable
also yeah the lasguns are a bit potent in comparison to other mods and vanilla energy weapons

It's intended to be played alongside other mods and probably vanilla

I have yet to receive complaints about Lasguns performing too well from the people actually using the mod in MP.

biggest issue Ive noticed is that the lasguns can fit on the Corvette, outrange the keystones laser, do comparable damage, and around 1/4 the power requirements.

Im assuming this mod is not meant to be played with vanilla factions, and only against itself?

Great mod! The ships look beautiful and a laser based faction is very interesting! I was wondering if the trident could have its deck guns get a 360 degree fire range.

the 'Factions Unlocked' mod should make the rockets work

Indeed they don't.
Their inclusion into the main faction was kinda a mistake to begin with and the OSP rockets don't feel like being unlocked

confirming what Beowulf said, the rocketpods on the fighter have no ammo choices.

>Gladius
>Jian
>Falx
Somebody played X4: Foundations. Good taste :)

Great mod BUT nothing can be loaded into the rocket pods on the Gladius, I thought it would be the size 2 advanced rockets but they cannot be loaded

Haven't played yet, but looking at the screenshots these ships are already looking fly.
