Much better!  Will all the ISA ships get the same treatment?

EDIT:
My only gripe about this mod so far is that the RSF seem to lack a carrier (the Scimitar is a PRIVATE ship) and the Ark (the 3-fight deck dedicated carrier) is a bit to unwieldy.


Eventually all ISA will be replaced. I`ve just tried to figure how the new ISA might look like. I love what i got.
As i said - the new update might get some long time to spawn, so don`t be teased by that ship :)

About RSF and carrier - that`s their doctrine. They have plenty of semi-carriers (almost all DE and above ships can carry fighters), but they prefer to use just Astrakhan as a carrier to due the serious weakness open bays produce. Remember - RSF are ironclads. And empty holes in the hull are notironcladish at all :)

EDITED: federation-related answer is on the prev page...

Well, OK, I see it for the Astrakhan.  MUST GET A HOARD OF TU-610s AND UTTERLY CRUSH THE MOTHERSHIP >:D

And speaking of the Federation (the Russia-Class Dreadnaught now), it doesn't exactly fit the style of the RSF anymore.  While the rest of the federation moved on, the dreadnaught failed to update. ;D

And another thought, the ISA ships are looking a whole lot like the UIN ships now (with your updated Indiana Destroyer)

I love this mod, it adds a whole new feel very different from the vanilla combat, I can't really describe it...., ok maybe "old style navy" seems to fit ok ;D.

Yeah, that`s why its present in only one mission. And that`s why it dies there. Dreads are a failure in modern space navy. They are too costly in terms of maintainance and are quite vulnerable due to the lack of the shields.

Speaking of UIN and new ISA. I fail to see similarities here.

If you post them side by side they have the same'ish outline and profile but only in the most broadest sense. But you wont ever see them sitting next to each other like that in the game and they look different enough that you wouldn't ever notice.

Hm...

The outline may be somewhat similar when drawn like this. But the two ships are different in any detail including the frontal gap and aft structure. So i still fail to see that much of similarities.

I really see no problem there, to me it just seems as if they're similar is all.  No hard feelings. :)

Also the fact that they have a nigh-on identical colour scheme isn't helping things out.
[Blue+Grey / Blue+Greyish Blue]

Well ideally ships from an alliance of nations or factions would use a similar coulor or marking scheme, if only to help with target identification. Personally i cant see a problem with them looking as they do.

Exactly the point, trading tech with allies is really normal, you can even call it a project undertaken by the 2 factions that result on those 2 ships

I think I'll give this mod a serious try. I like how it is starting to flesh out.

Okim, are you planning any big updates soon, that you recommend I wait for?

He said nothing soon. ;D
P.S.: that`s the last update until i get myself to the point where playing XCOM or even thinking of it will produce a huge desire to bring back my meal :)

That`s probably means that by this time Starfarer will get more than skills...
I've volunteered to keep the mod generally working if any updates break it, but I ain't that good with java yet. :)'

And give it a try regardless.  It has some excellent ships, and I consider it to be the biggest mod for Starfarer out there right now, even bigger than Caelus.  Has 4 factions (6 if you count aliens and pirates), with 20 weapons each faction (far more than Caelus has now, a total of about 140 weapons) and at least 80 new vessels total, fighters and ship included.  Very interesting gameplay, and balanced in it's own world. :)

No major updates. I`ll update the mod once Alex updates the game so that it works with new stuff. But there is XCOM comming soon, so i`ll just be wasting my time on it ;)

It was panned to have 35-40 per faction (4 factions), but currently its somewhere about 35-40 for each ISA and RSF and over 50 in total for UIN + XLE + Aliens. So in total its soewhere near 130 counting different sizes of missile launchers.

The major update this mod will get is when i finish respriting ISA. UIN and XLE will slowly grow too. This is probably a mid November update. May be earlier, may be later. I can`t forecast it from this point.

Ah, much more grey. :) Looked fine before, and I don't mind the change.
