Relics v4.7 (0.54.1a compatible - vanilla balanced )
« on: March 10, 2012, 04:01:19 PM »




This mod is vanilla balanced and that means that it will blend in vanilla game and other compatible mods flawlessly. It will not overrun your system after some time nor it will extinct some race. It will be there, alive, fighting.



As always, something misplaced long time ago find us and...




LORE


ELDER:
They cannot be called race. There is no biological individual on any Elder's ships. They are fully automated and AI operated.  Elders AI is vastly advanced from AI that we have today and almost in pair with human logic and deduction. Their design is, without any doubt, Domain's but not as we have today in Corvus. Elders ships are way bigger than any Hegemony or Tri-Tachyon vessels. Their purpose is unknown.
     They are first spotted in clustered asteroid field near Corvus system second star, White Dwarf now,  Corvex. For humans Corvex was always mystery and its Red Giant - White Dwarf cycle was somehow altered. Research of this phenomena is long time ago abandoned as Grate Collapse have grand effect on primary humans needs and focus.



THE PURIFIERS:
Completely automated, build by Humans to protect the last of humanity. This ships have strong shields and big energy generators. All weapons are energy based and on turrets. No single hardpoint on any ship. They are fast OMNI protected and completely without armor. They are strong as long as they are protected by powerful shields. If shields are down there isn't anything to guard hull.









SHIPS:

I can't really say I'm happy with the sprite. It looks too cluttered for my taste.

Heheheheh, well try to flank him with Onslaught  ;D. Primary roll of this ship is to fight other capital ships where he excels but as a down side he sucks in other fields.

This looks like one of those top-down-fighter-shooter bosses from the arcades. It's simply awesome.

I agree. It strongly reminds me of one of the bosses in Cho Ren Sha 68k, the huge one that you think is the last boss but it's not even the second to last :)

When you can't go on, just accept your doom. It comes to all, it is inevitable.

Also I totally had the name BEFORE the cruiser.
