I see. Another thing. Diable seems to never be prone to colonization in Nex. Is this intended?

Is it just me or you don't get the Standard Diable Avionics Blueprints Package when you start a Nex playthrough with them?

2 times i have started a playthrough with them and unlike the other Faction Mods i don't see their standard blueprints.

Do i need to improve my relationship with them to get the blueprints? Is there a hidden mission to get them?

AI-controlled Derecho armed with Banish torpedo launchers launch a few dozen torpedos at once in my game. I can replicate it indefinitely, they can do it multiple times per fight. Sorry if that has been posted already: couldn't find anything on this.

That's one hell of a bug. I'll investigate.

AI-controlled Derecho armed with Banish torpedo launchers

It seems to be not Derechos specifically: just anything armed with Banish. It is limited to the AI why can't I go brrrrrt too, game?, haven't been able to replicate it on a player-controlled (or autopiloted) ship so far.

Also got a CTD with the following in the log - not sure if it's on my side:

Is there any chance we'll get a dedicated capital class wanzer carrier in the future? It's weird that a faction that focuses so heavily on "fighters" doesn't actually have a proper fleet carrier as flagship for larger fleets in place of the Pandemonium which, frankly, doesn't really fit into any Diable fleet. The lack of specialized survey ships and larger fleet salvage rigs also means that you'll end up scouring the core worlds for such ships. As a rather isolated and aggressive faction often at war with the core factions you'd think they would prefer to have their own designs of fleet support ships.

So, unless you want a fleet entirely focused on combat it's impossible to stick with faction ships only and even then there's a rather massive doctrinal gap in the capital department which means you'll lack a proper flagship in the late-game if you wanna focus on carrier play. Would be nice to have a 5 or 6 slot carrier fast enough to keep up with the cruisers in hyperspace, speedy in combat but barely manoeuvrable with lots of long-range missile support and point defence but fragile with bad shield coverage, large profile and no heavy ballistic / energy mounts. Basically a supersized Storm, designed as a flagship for carrier groups. If possible it should have an active ability that boosts point defence effectiveness in a large radius around it for both ships and wanzers for a short time with long cooldown - a sort of linked targeting feed to emphasize its role and reliability on escort ships. So, basically just as much, if not more, of an unwieldy and expensive space brick as the Pandemonium but focused on wanzers and fleet support.

No, for the simple reason that it would be overpowered. That's why I carefully only allow small numbers of wanzers on any given ship. Even the Storm is arguably overpowered already. And while you can use Astrals and other supercarriers, the Wanzer Gantry hullmod already gives diminishing returns to those at an attempt to curb the power curve.

I have a few more ships planned, but nothing that will change the fleet combat deployment in any significant way.

Terviren, did you modify your mod files in any way? Because those are some odd bugs. You'd have to have changed the weapon loadout of the Frost to get that crash.

Nope, I didn't. The only mod file I've ever modified is a settings file for Adjusted Sector, but I don't think that could be the reason.

I haven't encountered the issue with Frost again - think a hardware hiccup might be to blame.

Not all Banish-wielding ships seem to behave this way: the issue is with two specific fleets so far (that could also be one fleet I've enountered twice, but one was a task force and the other an invasion fleet, so unless a fleet can be renamed and sent to invade, I doubt it). Could be a weird interaction with Starship Legends? There's nothing about missiles in fleet traits, though.

I implemented a failsafe to the Banish that should work, but the Frost one is a mystery to me. Unless it's another case of same frame conflict such as the system triggers, but the fighter dies the same frame.

Whats the point of making wanzer servicing gantry only work with full wanzer loadouts? Is it just trying to further enforce the long refit time on wanzers by preventing cheaper fighters screening them on the same carrier? You've already made it all but 100% mandatory to use, it seems strange to put even more restrictions on using wanzers. I guess its more that they aren't supposed to be something you can "splash." But even then, that seems more like a game limitation than a hard limitation on the hullmod, because if you had finer control of carriers it would be easy to send in screening fighters first or combine fleets of different carriers.

I guess the consensus is wanzers perform really well and needed toning down but it seems to me like once the initial wave of them is dead (which also tends to be when they are most vulnerable, as they often get hit by "real" weapons when moving to engage) wanzer fleets falter hard due to the extreme refit times. I'm not saying they're bad, I love using heavy fighters in general, its just my observations.

Another probably unwanted opinion of mine is the new Zephyr doesn't feel very good. I do think the old one was too good, but the current nerf is pretty extreme. In a meta sense, having only 1 just increases the chance of something unlucky happening to it, catching a big hit or missile, getting focused, etc. I think I would prefer having two fighters in a wing even if they cost more OP or were nerfed just for consistency. Do you think it performs so well it really warrants a single fighter?

Sorry for all the negativity, but I don't feel like I'm familiar enough with Diable right now to do an actual in-depth write up on the new stuff. This is just what really stood out to me. I REALLY like pretty much all of the weapon and ship changes except for possibly the gantry removal on the Fractus. The weapons especially all really feel like they perfectly fit and suit a role now. The Warlust change I think works exceptionally well too. I'm loving the palate swaps as well, Diable is still one of the most polished mods we have.

The Wanzer gantry only working on pure wanzer complement is a technical limitation: I cannot reduce the rebuild time on a wing per wing basis, and I don't think it woul be a smart move to allow say, Talons to respawn in 5s flat.

As to why it exist, basically it is a tax on 3rd party carriers, as well as a clamp on super carrier spam. If you believe it was unnecessary to have it, you can fiddle with the files and try this: halve the rebuild time in wing_data. csv and bring in a pair of astrals or legions full of wanzers without the hullmod.

As for the Zephyr, it's posible they have been a tad overnerfed and I'll keep an eye out since there is a tournament coming.
