Hi, I would like to add an IBB bounty from my mod, how do I go about doing that?

How do you guys equip a Beholder? I like its system ability and want to use this ship, but no rear facing turret and that slow movement is awful. I don't think this ship is very good in the early game where you start to get outnumbered and flanked.

Give it unstable injector, and if you're playing with other mods like scy, you can give it lightweight plating, both of those combined will bring it up to a respectable 100 base speed.

Just a couple of observations - whilst on some ships such as the Vindicator and Vulture the relatively high DP cost works as a "unique capabilities tax" of sorts, the Zenith and Victory seem like they really struggle to justify their costs. The Zenith is about as tanky but significantly less shooty than a Dominator, with less OP. Speed's okay, but I still tilt my head at 30 DP. As for the Victory, at that sort of DP level a Paragon can casually gun an Onslaught down in a way a Victory simply cannot. With similar overall firepower, a reasonably good shield alone just doesn't feel worth a full extra 15 points.

The Archer, on the other hand, might be a touch underpriced, say by 1 or 2 DP. Even though it's a little slow, that's a lot of medium mounts for a 10 DP destroyer, and missile ships are (rightly) notorious for being overpowered in general.

I also kinda question what the point of adding the Reliant to the game was. Buuut that's enough of my complaining.

It plinks, and it plonks. Why would you need it to do anything else?

It's an amazing weapon for many ship loadouts.

The reliant is an incredibly accurate point defense BALLISTIC weapon for a mere 1 op. It's great.

It's also very flux efficient kinetic, which can make it a very good contributor to dealing hard flux damage for its cost.
It also has more range than most other small PD weapons at 450. Which, hey is the the cutoff range for SO if you are into that.

It only have low dps, which balance it. You need really slow weapon or many reliants to shoot something down.

Reliants are really good for filling up slots in ships that have a lot of excess small ballistics slots. In fact I find them pretty OP just because of how much extra PD capability it adds to ships without any real downside, something that high tech ships are lacking.

I've just got a Wall-class drone in a randomized custom start.

It's... beautiful.

Something I tough about and would like to suggest, being able to recruit the IBB commanders after you defeat them, it would be a good way to give the player some more interesting commanders to play with (at least more interesting than some random guy you found on a station) and with static skills, so if you want a commander for X, Y or Z ship you could plan ahead to recruit them or just to put them in the ship they piloted, instead of fighting randomness, not for free of course, maybe have to pay off their bounty (or maybe a portion of it since with high level bounties it would probably not be worth it to recruit even a lvl 20 commander for 1M) or risk damaging relations with a faction.
Totally not suggesting this because I want to recruit Ryx to my harem *cough*

I'm sure you're already aware of this, but the new d-mods Vayra's Sector now adds to the game make auto-recovered IBBs really, really bad. You might want to consider reducing how many d-mods an auto-recovered IBB ship gets slapped on it.

They're intended to be really really bad.  You're not really supposed to actually use the auto-recovered IBBs in battle before restoring them.  Having a few extra D-mods is just additional icing on the cake.
