So, whatever happened to that other faction?  That naval ship-like one?  Those were some really good sprites you made.

Does the drone system ID match the CSV? forgot any drones in the formation pattern? unassigned drones? a typo? wrong drone ID? could you post the system code?

It could be a typo somewhere, but I've checked everything multiple times.

Still around. :)



Okay, I fixed a few things for Linux users. All faction extentions (including ghost and wayfarer.faction) should now be lower case. The path to '/spineDebris' is now all lower case. This will be included in the next version.

Hey I just played the Uomoz's Corvus mod and I encountered some of your fighter wings, and i really feel they are incredibly over powered. I really suggest a large nerf, as far as I can tell a single fighter has around 2000 hull and a bunch of frigates have around that. I really can't enjoy your part of the mod unless you balance it a bit more. Just trying to give some feedback!

As far as I know the Persephonies are actually small frigates. I do think that the two-wing is much better balanced than the four-wing.

Even if the lore classifies them as frigates they still fly around like fighters which make them incredibly powerful.

They have no shields, carry only 2 kinetic weapons and have poor maneuverability. Their external weapons can be disabled.

They are fairly fast, but far from the fastest fighters. Their armour (175) and hull (1750) ratings are relatively high, but certainly not the highest. Plus they have no shields.

All they have going for them is that they are fairly durable and fairly fast.


If they do prove too much, I can always raise the hangar cost. Maybe increase their cost and reduce their armour rating. Thanks for the feedback.

If they are small frigates then how do they even fit in hangars?

Yeah, but most fighters I can think of don't have any shields and their weapons are really powerful, I think someone posted about the same weapons before? Anyhow, do what you do, not my mod.

That post brought up the fact that the Escort Turrets, used by the Persephones, could sometimes be salvaged and required 0 OP to use. That had already been fixed a few versions back. I'm not going to change a ship just because one person thinks a ship type is overpowered. If more people agreed with you I might be persuaded. I appreciate the feedback though.

Since then the ship had been tuned down. It is not as strong as it was back then.

[edit]
I'm curious as to how people tend to deal with Persephones in game? Do you just rely on PD and other fightercraft to take them out? Or do you turn your full attention to fighting these ships, using your main guns and personal skill? What type of ships are you using when fighting these? An Omen, for example, can quickly disable Persephones, turning them into sitting ducks. A hound, on the other hand, would be doomed when facing Persephones.

Well... I use 1 Lasher   ::)  It's interesting that nor me nor AI pilot was able to beat them up but when i do autoresolve they lose.

The major plus of Persephones is that they have almost as much HP as a frigate and come in wings of 4, making them very easy to keep alive on the battlefield.
