Description


United Systems

Features
-A new Faction
-Hostile drones and ships on planets, that attack your base
-Scales with your progression
-Drones with shields (when the shield mod is installed)
-One Boss Encounter (Requires the Defense Shield Mod)
- Addon Mod wich rewards you for fighting those drones

About the Faction
The "United Systems" is a faction that was previously formed by multiple Solar System leaders after a decade long war. The goal was to unify and to bring peace to the factions that were present in the war. This held true until its leaders died and were replaced by corrupt politicians.
Nowadays the United Systems seek every Planet for its rescources, and Scouts and Drones eliminate anyone who is in their way

Ships and Drones
Currently there are:
-2 Ships
-4 Drones
-1 Boss Encounter (Defense Shield Mod Required)
The Boss Encounter uses the "Modular Encounters Spawner" Mods Boss system, wich more info of can be found of on the mods page.
The Boss Encounter can Spawn when the player has progressed quite a bit already.
A small ship is most likely not enough for this taking down this one, but at the same time it shouldnt be to much of a problem for a quite big one. As this fight is Optional you can use this to challenge it and test your ships design

As the development goes on, i make sure to add more ships and drones to the mod.
The drones that are currently available in the mod mostly cover the early and middle game.
They arent as strong as in other mods, but can still be problematic if you arent prepared.

Required Mods and Settings

- Modular Encounters Spawner
-Needs "Drones" enabled in the Worlds settings

Optional Mods

- Defense Shields
- United Tech

Thanks to/Inspirations

Good afternoon Lukas,
I am a big fan of this mod, and have been using it for quite a while now. Judging by the lack of update/comment activity, do you consider this mod to be feature-complete or is it still in active development?

if you're still developing it, do you have any plans to incorporate Meridius IX/Lucas's new RivalAI framework for drone behaviour and targeting AI? My friends and I had some concerns about drones tending to go after new players pretty aggressively from the start. if that's by design on your part, that's OK. thanks. :)

Just a thought for more realistic feel as the creation of united States space force has been established maybe a faction tag of USSF would work well as a shout out to a real space organisation/military

Hey can you add more challenging drones to attack peoples basses like maybe corvettes

hello, i am interested in making my own modular encounter mod. are there some guides or tutorials you can recommend? i am having a hard time getting started and so many questions.

So do the drones spawn near you or do they spawn from bases and travel over to you? Also how do they find you?
Lukas04  [author] 25 Jul, 2019 @ 2:44am 
They will target the player and the things around him
Warhero5566 24 Jul, 2019 @ 10:01pm 
if you have a ship will they attack it
Lukas04  [author] 24 Jul, 2019 @ 3:22am 
this only adds hostile drones for its own faction, and because of how the spawner works its unlikely to have multiple factions attack at once
