Well I personally found the visual representation of the effect of the Avionics hullmod terrible.

Ok, I  understand what you think and accept it.

But I don't think this hullmod is barely noticeable that it could give up to increase 100%  accuracy and speed, even in short time it could also give around 35% buff.
this buff could make heavy autocannon similar accurate as heavy needler, so I think it's useful enough.

That's the "leading accuracy" it improved and not something like "reduced recoil". It reduced the time AI weapons spend aiming center of mass before starting to properly leading the shots. (The fact that you can't pinpoint the effect just shows how insignificant it is) Btw, changing the "recoil" has been proven to break a lot of weapons balanced around inaccuracy.

It's not coming back. I'd rather spend my time doing more impactful content such as [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], or the big one, [REDACTED].

lol nice

But really, no worries. This is just personal preference. You did a great job expanding the arsenal IMO. The only missed spot is that Diable still lack their own anti-shield missile. Not sure if that was on purpose, or if maybe I simply did not find it yet.

Banishes are energy torpedoes that can deal with shields. Anything else I could make would be either a skin of sabots or squalls. In the short term though, there might be a post tournament balance patch.

Right now I work around that by having an Opfer@Gust squad. Or relying on so much hard flux from anti-armour weapons that it does not matter.

Balancing update following the 10th Starsector Ship Building Tournament. It includes a bunch of buffs, and a few nerfs. I also changed the Commissioned Crew bonus for Diable Avionics given that ORA already had a similar effect, therefore now Diable ships are far less susceptible to hyperspace storm strikes. That should make traveling to and from Sivie far less of a chore.

We also have a new skin pack available courtesy of Sozzer this time:

Please note that with Bitbucket becoming increasingly finicky (by that I mean I actually can't upload my mod there anymore due to their Captcha not working) I'll link the releases through my Patreon for the foreseeable future. Please rest assured that none of my mods will ever be paywalled, plus the EULA does not allow it in the first place.

They aren't but their prices were raised for the tournament, and after careful consideration, I'm now bringing them back down a notch with some ancillary minor buffs.

That's not something I have any control over. They should still be called back to rearm once the carrier's target is gone though.

Finally some buffs! Kinda sad that Maelstrom and Pandemonium didn't got any buffs :(

Any idea when the Campaign/Diplomacy Changes update will come? I feel that is their main weakness. (I still believe Sivie needs Planetary Shield)

Mael is already insanely good and Panda is slightly inefficient by design.

As for the Campaign, that will come with the Part 2 of the Rework, that may come around December hopefully.

I've been wondering after testing the changes to the Thunderbolts if Diable will ever get Large Missiles Weapons and Mounts?

Also i would love a Medium Missile version for the Magicbox. I rarely use them since i prefer IBIS or Burchel (specially since those 2 benefit from ITU). But a Medium PD Missile option would be very interesting.

I know Diable has a lot of in-built missiles. But generally those are Saturation cheap Micro Missiles.

As an example, i messed with the files and made the Hayle Medium Mounts into Universal Mounts. And its surprising how good it can be as a Missile Destroyer. Its devastating when in combination Banisher/Thunderbolt Pods and Racks, ECCM and Expanded Missile Racks.

Getting Large Thunderbolt, Banisher Versions or even Large versions of Plover and Thrush LRM. Would be very fun. And would open Missiles for Diable as an actual viable way of playing them.

Generally the way i see Diable is like the Evil version of DME. And DME has some pretty insane Large Missiles, would be fun Diable gets its own version.

Would really suit that Aggressive playstyle of Diable. An early barrage of missile bombardment and other shenanigans and then Diable has to rely on their Ballistic/Energy options and Wanzers after that first wave of chaos.
