Thanks for the feedback!
Based on the loadout, officer, and clip, what I'm seeing here is within my expectations for the ship. A torpedo-heavy variant with a maxed officer and the Elite package should be able to defeat an ordinary cruiser, especially a Dominator (which is naturally disadvantaged against the Libritor to begin with). You're investing a 20th-level officer into the ship, for starters, and also using a fast-burn loadout that'll nuke the first couple ships it comes across and then quickly drop off. It would be rather disappointing if the ship didn't perform superbly in this instance.
Contrast to what a plain old Sunder could do with a 20th-level officer and a nuker loadout. The Dominator really just doesn't stand a chance.
Thats fair. I didn't realize how much i was cherry picking on the balance factor till after I made the post. At any rate I really enjoy the ships inbuilt weapon/system effecting one another and then on top of that the faction mod directly effects how those systems work. Thats really freaking cool. I realize its probably not an easy thing to balance or do but is there a chance we might see more ships like this because if so thats *** awesome. At any rate thanks for the reply and all your hard work. Really, I cant imagine playing Starsector without the SWP or the Imperium.
Edit: I have to admit its been a long time since ive played SS. Ive been re exploring and holy *** I didnt realize how many ships you've done this with. Really stellar work. The hullmod like the elite package, or targeting package mods werent in the mod last time I played that much. Having mods that effect how the ships operate on such a level is really *** cool. I'm starting a new play through and just working through the ships to find out what they can do with the II packages. In some cases its like having nearly a different ship. Again, really awesome job.
Second Edit: You literally turned flares in to weapons. *** awesome... I'm at a *** loss here lol. Hell the mods literally effect that appearance of the ship. I havent seen nearly everything but I'm probably going to buy one of everything just to see the different effects the packages provide to the ships.
