Mods / [0.97a] Diable Avionics-Joestar edition v2.9.1

« on: March 08, 2024, 01:15:05 PM »

Flashfrozen's original thread
Tartiflette's thread

Because of recent events with the previous maintainer, I have taken over the role

I have looked through and recompiled the mod to make sure there wasnt any code out of place.

Reverted the ships and fighters stats of the previous to that of 2.7.0. Weapon balance are still the same and would like Feedback on whetever or not to revert those also or at least which specific weapons

Added 4 New ships (2 Cruisers, 1 Destroyer, 1 Frigate) that was planned to be added in before that blew up so I'm adding them here, I would like feedback on the balance of these new ships so if you could, try them out and see if they're too strong or not.

General Discussion / Fat Astral and Little Drover: Perhaps We treated them too harshly

« on: September 16, 2022, 10:08:24 AM »

Prompted by a point raised by Histidine, I propose to you this question:

Have the Astral and the Drover (By extension, Recall and Reserve Deployment Ship Systems) due to their nerfs and the general nerfs to carrier and the buff to non carriers, made them rather underpowered?

The Drover was nerfed to having 15DP from 12, Its ship system had it cooldown increased to 60 from like 30?, and now it draws from the replacement rate.

The Astral was nerfed to 50DP from 45, the system was given a 30 second cooldown from... having no cooldown actually.

At the time, these nerfs were pretty warranted as the astral was pretty good at nuking entire fleets before there were such things as semibreves or Destroyer Sized Bomber Fighters. And Drover Spam was also pretty good. Back in 0.9.1

But then, We lost like, carrier skills, carrier skills for officers, general fighter nerfs, then we got general non carrier/fighter buffs, the only skills that generally buff carriers being limited to the player character only (And it only having a small limit of 8 whole bays before it started getting weaker doesnt help either), needing to spend 2 skill points to get both when you have very stiff competition from skills like:

Wolfpack Tactics, Crew Training, Officer Training/Management, and Coordinated Maneuvers. And This is only within the LEADERSHIP Branch, it's only downhill from there.

The Drover simply isnt worth the 15 whole DP to simply field, for 15DP, you field a condor with a 5dp frigate as back up, A 10 DP Destroyer, a bunch of Frigates, etc. The system kills its replacement rate faster than any PD can. And 60 Seconds for what is basically 1-2 more wing members for 15 Seconds just isnt worth it.

The Astral on the other hand, still is pretty good with bombers, still kills a lot of stuff. But a point was raised during this discussion:

Why not just use 2 Herons instead?

A pretty big issue with Recall is that on a 30 second cooldown, you only get about 1 more wave in before your bombers start flying back or dropping like files and it makes normal fighters pretty unreliable.

Where as you have the heron with its targeting feed that gives benefits to every fighter and not just a specific group of them. Not to mention, the fighters are much more reliable, has a good mix of stats, faster, only cost 20 DP (So 40 for 2 vs 50 for 1 Astral). With the only debateable aspect being Astral having 1-2 Large Missiles vs the Heron's Universal Medium.

So What do you guys think? Do you think the drover and astral needs some of their nerfs lessened or even buffed to be in a better place?

Modding / Issue with the retired drone_pd ship system

« on: May 05, 2021, 05:46:24 PM »

So a issue a few people had when attempting to use this ship system for their modded ships is that the game would crash because it couldn't find the system id for it despite the id being correct in the csv.



So I looked into the system file and I think I figured out the cause of the crashing



The system id and the drone variant id are the exact same. I believe this is what causing the game to crash.

To be sure, I tested my theory out by taking the variant of the drone pd, changing it to "drone_pd_Hightech", and taking the system file and having it point to the new variant file.



Then I placed it onto one of my ships and it worked. The game didn't crash. Looking at the other drone ship systems, The station ones and "drone_pd_x2" are the only ones where the system and variant id aren't the same. While Borer/Terminator/ and Sensor has the system and the variant id the exact same, so it's possible they also have this issue.
