"In admiralty law, barratry is an act of gross misconduct committed by a master or crew of a vessel which damages the vessel or its cargo. These activities may include desertion, illegal scuttling, theft of the ship or cargo, and committing any actions which may not be in the shipowner's best interests.
Barratry is usually considered a crime against the ship's owner. Therefore, if the owner himself chooses to wreck the ship, no crime is committed, as the owner simply destroyed his own property, though this can still be considered a crime against any other owners. Also, harm to the crew can qualify as barratry regardless of who damaged the vessel."
Now that little shpiel is out the way, hopefully you're less (or more) confused behind what barratry involves. Hullmod Barratry adds the option to be able to apply V-Mods (Vandal mods) to your ship hull on purpose, which are halved drawbacks/benefits counterparts of the base game D-Mods. Gaining D-Mods to your ships is a mixed bag depending on your play style, but some players, such as myself, try to make as much use out of the benifits that come with them. You'll also be pleased probably to know that cross-mod funkyness with HMI junker ships and their OP increasing effect isn't a thing with V-Mods. Sorry!
Intentionally obtaining these hullmods has always been tedious in my eyes, having your ships blow up over and over, or painstakingly searching for and buying the hull you want that happens to have maybe one or two mods already existing. So, I set out to make a system that's slightly easier to abuse utilise. Visit any station that has a working spaceport and navigate to the hullmod menu in the refit screen. Then for instance, ask that the big burly guys with hammers come and beat the hell out of your flight deck for a bit and voilà!
Obtaining the hullmods:
Spoiler
(https://i.imgur.com/J4X0HAD.png)
To keep relevance in the base game's D-Mods, if you have a V-Mod equipped on your ship and that ship happens to blow up and gain the counterpart hullmod, the V-Mod will be removed and replaced with it. Afterwards just remove the conflict hullmod and you're golden. Unfortunately damage mods are no longer removable, that can only be done with V-Mods, as the workers that damaged it feel bad for you and just pay for the repair fees off their own backs!
Existing V/D-Mods:
Spoiler
(https://i.imgur.com/QJS63Y1.gif)
Specialty V-Mods such as Lethargic Phase Module can also only be applied to, obviously, phase type ships, and the same goes for the carrier/civlian mods too.
This mod also adds a cosmetic type of damage mod called Scuff-Mods, which basically do what they say on the tin. Add them to your hull for that D-Mod feel without any of the stat changes!
Scuff-Mods:

And that's about it for now! Do feel free to suggest features to add to this if you feel it would fit along side the theme as I am always looking for ideas to improve upon.

Looking for the Maintenance Revamp hullmods? They've now been split into a side mini-mod to keep them seperate from the mainstay, and will stay here for people still interested!
Check out the spoiler below for more info.

This mini-mod comes with a few custom maintenence cost reduction hullmods costing 0 OP to apply. This is 100% intentional, as I've wanted to be able to balance supply usage myself on a ship-by-ship basis, and now you can too!
Self-moderation required for every hullmod here of course. Comes in tiers of 30%, 50%, 75% and 95% and only one variety can be installed at one time (includes vanilla Efficiency Overhaul in the limitations). Now includes two new mods, Drive Field Stabiliser EX for when you want to go on a cruise, and High Res Sensors EX made to streamline deep sector scavving.

Sorry for asking too much but can you make a cosmetic only mod? So i can have D-mods look without actually having a downside for my ships, i always love the way d-mods look, just not really like the pinalty it have. Thanks in advance! Love your work ;D

Sounds like an interesting addition to have in, hadn't thought about that but it should be pretty easy to implement. Got some spare time on sunday to take a look at that so stay tuned.

You should probably add brand new modular d-mods that act the same as normal d-mods but with halved penalties/benefits.
Like Defective Manufactory -> Manual fighter assembly or Increased Maintenance -> Re-used grease or something like that. Basically rather then damaging your ship, your engineers would instead simplify/downgrade it's systems or use improper yet cheaper supplies required for maintanance. In case of crew capacity hull mods it could be something memey like air dumped from non-essential areas and passageways - only bridge and living areas for skeleton crew are pressurised.

This is also something I've been working on for a release eventually, since having it be the vanilla D-Mods seems like a rush job to me. Been working out some kinks with having the new hullmods be compatable along side the base games ones, so expect to see this idea come to fruition sometime soon ::)
-
Some observations which may or may not be worth looking at:
The D-mods seem to be flagged as 'player can obtain/own', which in fairness they probably need to have in order to be useable.
This however makes the Dmods appear in loot drops as modspecs, which is going to negatively impact the drop rates of 'legit' ones.
Not sure if you can even do anything about this without breaking it entirely.
It is possible to apply civilian mods to military ships & vice-versa, thus giving you several 'no downside' options.
This is particularly noticeable for civilian ships, which can load up on Dmods which are entirely irrelevant for them.
Just in case anyone had any doubts about what kind of nonsense this mod enables, please consider the following:

I love this mod.
I take it you have an old version of the mod then? I had removed the maintenance hullmods a few days ago since I, along with a few others, felt like they didn't fit. Also in regards to finding blueprints for the hullmods, I don't think that should be an issue. They're set to be known by default from the get go and I'm fairly certain you have to go out of your way and actually make the BP's for them, which I haven't.
Glad you like the mod though ; )

That ridiculous ship is what happens when you add every available (vanilla) Dmod to something, along with having industry skills. (Used v1.1, after the split.)
Zombie ships are genuinely that cheap, but you hardly ever see stuff that broken because deliberately wrecking stuff, and then winning the fight so you can recover it is a huge chore.
The costs could possibly be halved again if I could add all the Dmods that other mods add.
INDUSTRY STRONK
For ref, with all the new mods that same ship looks like this:

Ah, I had assumed you were still talking about the other hullmods, but now it makes sense. I think what they are currently is alright (although still quite mental), it’s a better alternative than before ::)
I’m fairly happy with how they fit for the mean time so just have fun with them.

This might be something unintended though...
Spoiler
(https://i.imgur.com/CDQ5wT0.png)
It has your new mods applied to it as part of the procgen (which is cool), but:
- The mods aren't being marked as (D) in orange - not necessarily a big deal
- The mods don't seem to be respecting compatibility - the example above is a carrier with a phase mod
If you can get your mods to apply to only the same kinds of ship the mods apply to in vanilla, you've p. much cracked it.
[edit]
Also, the new mods don't appear to be affecting the recovery costs, just the maint. costs. Is this intentional?

What version of the mod are you running? Those issues got fixed in 1.3a, and I haven't seen it crop up so far in my test playthrough at all. It shouldn't even be possible since they're not recognised as D-Mods anymore.

Thanks for the speedy fix.
Can confirm in 1.3b:
- Any new ships are not generating the new mods.
- Any ships generated under the previous version with the mods still have them, and they can't be removed.
- Mods are adjusting stats in line with the descriptions once more.

Glad to hear it boots now, guess I had forgotten to change the error hullmod path for the public release back to the original one ::). As for the ships with perm V-Mods, it is unfortunate but I suppose it's 100% not happening now which is a good sign.
Only thing I've seen still occuring is the V-Mod blueprints still showing up in salvage loot drops and I have no idea how to prevent it. For now it's not so gamebreaking to warrant not playing, but is of course a minor inconvenience. Once the hullmod BP's have been learnt once in a save though they stop showing up so there's that.

any chance you could make it so HMI ships get a halved points benifit from using the v mods instead of nothing?

That would just make it way too easy to make Junker ships obtain their insane capabilities from the get-go I fear.
On a side note, is this mod save-compatible or will it break an ongoing campaign savefile?

Should be fine to add to an ongoing save yes, removing it from an existing one will however cause a crash.

You know, I am almost cursing at your mod being so compatible with HMI.
This must've been the 8th time I fed both my Locomotive converted junker battlestations to hungry [Redacted] Fleets for them to gain more D-mods and I only managed to get 2. I do not know if the following idea fits this mod more than HMI or vice versa, but here it is anyway:
New Hull-Mod: Crude Bulkheads
Description: Unlike the proper method of applying reinforcing structures to an already existing frame, this bulkhead design redistributes the already installed hull reinforcements to key areas instead. The end result of such welding barbarism being a sturdier ship hull overall that is prone to running into significant, long lasting damage would the "new and improved" Bulkheads spring into action and keep the ship in once piece.
Effects: Ship hull points increased by 25%, Ship is almost always recoverable after being disabled (same as R.B), significantly increases the chance of receiving a D-Mod upon ship recovery. It should cost a bit less than the standard Reinforced Bulkheads and also be Incompatible with it.
What do you think?

Hello, I just want to point out that unzipping your mod in the mods folder spills out a bunch of different files instead of just one file like all other mods. This clutters up the games mod folder and makes things confusing in the future when there may be a need to remove a mod. Please advise on what can be done here. I downloaded from the github link on the first page and used 7zip to extract. I didnt have this problem with any other mod.

I wish scuffed mods were somehow separated from the main mod, they not only clutter the loadout screen, they clutter the list of available hull mods even if you don't want to use them.

While that is quite a decent idea, the mod for me is pretty much what I had envisioned it to be as it is now. If something like that were to be made it'd likely be in a new seperate mod, but thank you for the suggestion anyway ;D

Seems to extract just fine into it's own folder, unsure why it would be spilling out it's contents for you. Others that I know have used it havent reported this issue which makes it even more bizzare.
I wish scuffed mods were somehow separated from the main mod, they not only clutter the loadout screen, they clutter the list of available hull mods even if you don't want to use them.
All 5 cosmetic 'scuffed' hull mods should be grouped up together and shouldnt clutter up the selection screen *that* much, but unfortunately I don't plan on splitting the mod up into seperate modules since it's fairly small to begin with. As SukmaZaki mentioned above you can just sort by category if it bothers you that much.
-
I like that you now added unique V-mods. New icons are great. Though some does not really make sense to me description wise. There is a difference between gross negligence and cutting corners on stuff you don't need that much. Though that's just my opinion.
BTW might it be possible to add some new icon for them so that they are listed at the corner of fleet tab just like d-mods? Maybe instead of red notches it could be yellow ones?
-
Just wanted to drop in and say this is such a great idea for a mod. I was hoping someone would make something like this for a while. The idea of seriously cutting corners to cut costs is very thematic for starsector I feel. It also reminds me of the grungy "make ends meet at any cost" feel of mechwarrior. Also, I've been in that exact scenario of trying to pick up D mods and it is a total nightmare. Keep up the good work!
PS the zip is missing its own folder for me too like Sultan mentioned.
PSS I humbly suggest removing all tags from the UI table for the mods except for V/S Mod tab, even requires dock. That will clean up the UI much more effectively, because otherwise you have to toggle off every category they fall under and everyone already knows they're dock only.
PSSS It doesn't look like the math is right on V mods, the recovery CR cost doesn't seem to actually go down. I think its actually reducing maintenance cost instead when it shouldn't. Is each 10% supposed to be multiplicative? I think its supposed to be flat but I'm not sure.
-

Just checked, and I was wrong previously.
Maintenance costs are being reduced (seemingly) correctly, but recovery costs are not.

For Linux users /jars/Hullmod_Barratry.jar needs to be renamed to Hullmod_barratry.jar or the mod will crash on startup. Linux cares about case sensitivity in filenames whilst Windows does not.

Fixed mod files not having their own subfolder when being unzipped. Sorry to anyone that's had this issue till now, got access to a PC to sort it quickly since it seemed to be so widespread.
Unsure when I'll have more time to work on this but I hope people are able to enjoy it in it's current state.

So I decided to expand my opinion on how V-mods should look like - not a criminal negligence but intentionally cutting corners/downgrading systems that your ship won't need. They should also be somewhat more unique rather then being full d-mod counterparts and maybe not every of them should require dock to apply. Some could actually be designed similar to Repurpoused Fighter Bays from DaRa (which would become vanilla in next update, yay!) - they are to be used on salvaged ships to trade one negative effect from d-mod with something else.
General V-mods:
Light bulkheads - remove some bulkheads or cut holes in them to make it easier to access some of the systems for quicker maintenance. Reduces hull integrity and makes the ship more likely to fall apart in combat but reduces maintenance costs.
Reused armor plates - normally damaged armor plates have to completely replaced with pre-manufactured replacements. Welding the damaged plates together and reusing them would make the repair faster and cheaper but at the price of worser overall armor condition.
Ion thrusters - replace standard chemical thrusters with ion ones. These don't require as much gas to operate but are also weaker. Reduces maintenance cost at the cost of maneuverability.
Stabilized Engine (?) - reduce burn of the ship by 1/2 but also reduce the amount of fuel and supplies consumed by the ship.
Minimized Life Support - the standard operation precedure before entering combat is to depressurize any area that is not neccessary in combat, keeping only the bridge and other important areas stationed by crew pressurized. Doing so and restoring the pressure after combat is time consuming... and might feel expensive when your crew is barely a skeleton crew. Caps the crew capacity at skeleton crew level, reduces maintenance costs.
Carrier V-mods:
Manual fighter assembly - removes ship's built-in speciallized autoforge and assembly automation. Parts are now produced on that civilian shuttle nanoforge and manually modified/assembled by your industrious slaves. Reduced fighter replacement rate, fighters quality and doubles the amount of people required per hangar.
Depressurised hangar - removes blast doors/docking fields from hangar making it easier for fighters to launch, especially with a flight deck damaged. Your deck crew however would doubtly appretiate the fact that they now have to work in space suits and slowly walk around with magnetic boots. Reduces fighter replacement rate recovery but increases replacement fighter deployment speed. Drone wings are less affected.
Phase V-mods:
Shallow dive phase coil: removes phase speed bonus but reduces rate at which PPT runs down.

Updated to work on current Starsector version, which was luckily just changing mod_info and no under the hood stuff. Mod still works as intended but obviously is in a kind of limbo right now with the skill that it had previously relied on now being gone. Could potentially reimplement the traits from the old skill if possible and if/when my motivation comes back to me, but we'll have to see.
Tested for a while in game but had no issues come up but please do report any here if there was something I missed!

Here's some feedback: Aftermarket plating has no description, there is a typo in maneuverability in impotent replacement thrusters and careless welding is marked as hidden and unlocked at the same time (Not sure if it does anything bad). Another minor issue is that these hullmods aren't red like the normal d-mods, but I don't have any particular problem with that.
Also, do the V-mods/S-mods work with derelict contingent? Just to know.

Got some spare time on sunday to take a look at this stuff, thanks for bringing this up! It's by choice that the hullmods don't show up as red too so no worries there.
Also, do the V-mods/S-mods work with derelict contingent? Just to know.
To be honest I haven't actually checked with that skill, but they shouldn't. The way I did the V/S mods is by just making regular hullmods with D mod characteristics, so they technically shouldn't be affected by it. Hopefully.

I love the mod. It’s really handy for making deployment costs lower for constant fighting in core worlds.
Would it be possible to make them work with derelict contingent? Like so each vmod is worth half a dmod?
Also noticed you haven’t added vmods for the new dmods, really looking forward to it. The faulty automated dmod seems ripe for abuse as a vmod.
Though with that one, may be worth giving it the full penalty because it’s so easy to deal with.

Hello is this the mod that adds the Drivefield Stabilizer EX? That hullmod increases the maximum burn of the fleet by 20. Just wondering which mod adds that.

Pretty sure I slapped that, along with hi res sensors EX into maintenance rebalances a while back, so you probably have that installed.

I might have some free time to work on the mod next week so it fits 095 rather than a hasty fix. We’ll see.
Some nice suggestions though I’ll look into them

-Rewrite Edition V2-
Rewrote the entire mod to bring it up to speed for 0.95a and fixed a few outstanding bugs;
Added 5 V-mod counterparts for the newer D-mods from 0.95a
Fixed Aftermarket Plating now showing it's description properly
V-mods now properly give the shown deployment cost reductions
Set every hullmod to have their own Barratry design type to hopefully tidy things up
If the mod Quality Captains is also installed, the Jury-Rigging skill will apply the usual maintenance cost reductions when using V-mods
As always, thank you for the suggestions and feedback. I'm happy with the state the mod is in currently and will consider this my last big update (unless something comes up)

Awesome mod, would love to see an update to 0.95.1a that works with the Derelict Operations skill. Not sure on how to go about it myself.
-
Sir, can you allow me to translate it into Chinese and update it to the Chinese Starsector Forum(https://fossic.org)?
I have tested this mod and it works fine on 0.95.1a-RC6.
Thank you very much.

Do you ever plan on making a mod with the functionality this mod used to have, where it let you add vanilla D-mods? I get that this is more balanced, but repeatedly throwing my ships unarmed against derelicts gets incredibly tedious incredibly fast.
