I *very* much like that dreadnought's aesthetic.

I am enjoying the mod greatly so far, the Wurgandal is a blast to use (Literally). It plays differently than the other big ships from other mods.

Testing out the changes to it and the other vessels brought up a question. I was curious if there was a way to customize the Maltese Support Drone's hitpoint restore effect. I know toying with the .java files doesn't seem to do the job. When the drones are equipped on vessels with a ton of hitpoints the restore effect seems to be minuscule as it doesn't appear to be percentage based.

Glad you are enjoying the Wurgandal, tell me if there is anything too weak or too strong about it

The drones repair amount is hardcoded, so you would need to recompile the java files if you wanted to modify it, i made it flat values, meaning the more health something has the more repair it is needed, it was balanced around destroyer/frigate sized ships for now so that it won't be exploited making some big ships too easy to restore. I released the Terrier and the Maltese very weak because they do something very unique and could generate some OP strategies, once more people play with them and find them too weak i might buff them.

One way to buff the drones in your game without touching the java files would be increase the number of drones per wing, this is super easy, requires editing a single text file

Go to Ed Shipyard/data/hulls and open wing_data.csv with notepad++

Edit this value, that 1 is the amount of drones per wing, add more drones for faster repairs and tell me the results later!

I was testing the Wurgandal and when I'm in the simulation for the test, there was only a wing. that ship is so big...

I've made a test mission for the ED Shipyards, but the faction drone wings don't show up as available options to place in a flight deck.

Is it due to them having the "rare_bp" tag?

I've also noticed they've way more ordnance points per ship, more than the other factions, meaning you can safely put more armor/damage reduction and still have more than enough for max flux vents/capacitors, and put on Heavy Armor, even without a maxxed ordnance expansion skill in campaign.

The worst violators seem to be the capitals (the Wurg seems partly reasonable) and some of the low-down ships.

Still loves purple. Still not skilled enough to make a mod that doesn't get that one damn error.

I don't know why they don't show up, i didn't try making a mission yet.

Which ships you think have too many Ordinance points specifically? I did nerf the Leonberger and Groenendael OPs a lot already.

I didn't test with other drones, but Papillon drones have some troubles with autofit in refit screen. When ship is saved with papillon drones, and then any same ship auto-equipped with this saved variant, no drones would be in dronebays.
Another aspect of that: despite being selected in "Doctrine&Blueprints" screen, Papillons do not show up in any fleets, at all.


Also, Papillons are quite overpowered.
Lets compare them with "working horse" of bomber fleets, Dagger wing:
Papillons have 2 missiles x 600 explosive damage x 3 drones = 3600 explosive damage per volley.
Lets assume half of that is lost due to fighter and missile losses: ~1800 damage per volley for 5 ordnance points.
Daggers, for comparison, cost 18 OP and have 3000 explosive damage volley. They are sturdier and have shields, so assume ~1/3 of volley lost, that's still leaves us ~2000 volley.

By choosing Papillons, for less than 1/3 of OP cost, you can have similar volley damage, less(but not much) armor penetration and EMP effects (did a forgot to mention 1000 EMP damage per missile?). That's a no brainer, in my opinion.

This is very strange, i have no idea what could be causing this, all my fighters have tags and roles in the wing_data.csv, so it should be working, i will look into it.

Also, Papillons are quite overpowered.

Papillons have 2 missiles x 600 explosive damage x 3 drones = 3600 explosive damage per volley.

I see, i will nerf the Dust missiles then, lowering the damage and emp by half, thank you for the feedback.
The missile will become a 1 OP cost weapon to compensate. (won't affect the fighters)

About the auto refit failing, did you have extra drone wings in hand while trying to refit? because any non-drone LPCs with more than 8 OP will be rejected by the ship

I had 20 Papillon wings in my cargo.
I've fitted 5 Papillons and 1 Longbow(as a measuring unit) at Astral (pd lasers already fit, not empty astral). Then saved this variant, pressed "strip" to ensure clarity of the experiment. After autofitting saved variant there was only single longbow wing in drone bays (weapons were fitted without a problem), any free op was spent on vents/caps. "Use ordnance from storage/cargo" is turned on.

Damn, this is a major problem, I am trying to figure this out.
