I hope you won't mind a little input of mine in here?
I gave your pack a spin and quite enjoyed it gonna say. Sadly I have ultimately had to remove it for now for one single reason. Which are sentinel wolfs spawning in pirate fleets - something others have already mentioned.
I love the Sentinel Wolf, it's a great asset and I would still love it without the terminator drone but with the sensors. It's the best thing about them I think, especially early on in the game before players spec fully into sensor skills. It's just a strong desired feature of it, the drone by my taste is just a plus.
That however I found that SNT Wolfs are stronger than tempests for that simple fact they don't degrade CR as fast as them. So if I had to change things about the SNT wolf it would be 2 simple things:
- Total removal of those from pirate fleets, if they had to show up I would treat them as kind of minibosses in highly damaged D variants (damaged hangar as a must have then). They're simply too OP and they do severely affect the balance. One tempest is scary but those hunt in pairs and it's just simply frustrating to seeing them left and right in every pirate fleet there is...
- The terminator drone itself... It should be a weaker version of the one from the tempest otherwise tempest is out of job really. Degrading the drone's engines and cutting i's firepower is one thing... But what was frustrating me the most was it's range. Separating 2 SNT wolfs was doing nothing because drones from both ships were still attacking a single target - so I would cut the W-SNT's drone range in half at least in comparison to tempest? I think this would make it way more balanced than it is now.
But other than that I really liked the SNT Wolf and I would like to see it in the future. If tuned, would it be possible to have an option for a separate SNT-Wolf mod, without the rest of the gear? They were nice but heh... I gave the artillery swarmers to all my shepherds ships... The map... Just... Saturated with hundreds of kinetic missiles. Even with such low damage... Kind of OP xD
