Your mod looks utterly fantastic! I can't imagine how much work must go into making something like this. Congratulations as well on your background flavor text, both well imagined and well written. Thank you ever so much for creating it for us.
I super appreciate you saying so! Knowing it's enjoyed is what makes it worthwhile. And, you're welcome
I've a few newbie questions. (I just discovered the game a week ago. How it took so long baffles me.) I presume this faction won't appear unless I start a new game, right? Is it's placement in the universe random or pre-mapped? Can a starting player get commissioned by this faction so as to gain access to it's hulls and gear? Finally, is their planet at least in theory conquerable and if so, do we inherit it's prodigious production capacity?
- The way it works is (I think) as follows. The faction is tied to a planet and a system, which are only created during a new game. So if you add it to the existing game, it won't break the game, but the faction won't exist, so there will be nowhere to buy (most of) the ships. You WILL still be able to find blueprints, and most weapons (plus a couple ships) are available to pirates and other factions. So you will get a partial slice of the content in your current playthrough. Although I might be wrong on some of this info.
- The home system and planets of the faction are in a fixed location, unless you use Nexerelin and start with randomized core worlds.
- If you're playing in Nexerelin (as most people who play with modding factions do) you have the option to start with a Kingdom commission. If not, you'll have to get commissioned the old fashioned way.
- Yes, and yes (again assuming you're playing in Nex).
Whew, I just finished the Ouroboros bounty and that was insane, I managed to wipe out a couple of sneks and destroyers with a Titan missile from the Imperium mod but when I tried to fire a second a Rhino decided to charge it while it was right in the middle of my fleet, thank god it destroyed it before it blew up. Then the Ouroboros came and the whole battle turned into a wrestling match between it and my Kadur capital ships.
Sweet, glad to hear the boys can make a worthy war story! (And that the Ouro bounty executes as planned
) Congrats.
