LEGACY OF ARKGNEISIS v1.4.1 IS OUTThis update primiarly brings the game to current with Starsector v0.9.1a
- The base prices of ships has been adjusted to be more in line with new vanilla values.
- The refit time of the Earl strike fighter has been raised to put it back in line with the update vanilla bombers.
Additionally...
- The AI for the Phase Dive system used by the Champion class cruiser has been replaced with a custom script, it isn't perfect yet, but should now refrain from jumping into phase at every opportunity, making the ship far more deadly in AI hands.
- All ARS markets have had their industries and structures re-evaluated, redundant entries have been removed, and each station should reflect its intended scale and purpose better now. As a side effect, Exodus Initiative ships now more regularly appear on the black market for all stations.
- The values governing the rarity of Exodus Initiative blueprints have been adjusted so that said blueprints will be more common from now on.
- The Icon for the Spatial Lensing hullmod has been improved.
- The Electrostatic Autocannon has been given some moderate EMP damage. Its nowhere near the levels of dedicated EMP weapons, but it should make the weapon more appealing to use than before.
- The Warpshot Repeater has had its ballistic characteristics modified a bit, it can now more reliably hit missiles on perpendicular trajectories, like salamanders, though keep in mind it is still a 3 OP weapon, it's not going to delete swarms of sallies on its own.
I have no idea what this update will do to saves. I would err on the side of caution, due to the market industry changes.Just to let you all know.The majority of my time is still being spent creating sprites for DR's Interstellar Imperium, but just to show you that I still have plans for this mod...lots of plans realy, here's a small teaser for the upcoming sprite rework, featuring the re-designed Victoria class destroyer, and the re-designed Alistair class battlecruiser.
It is likely that neither are these are totally final, as I have received some decent feedback which I have yet to experiment with, but together they should give you an idea of where the ARS is heading in terms of aesthetics.
