Lore

Spoiler
The Valkyrians are an Independent military superpower that today are settled throughout the star cluster.

They were once part of the Domain of Man, a small piece in a great puzzle, after many years of studying domain ship design and coming up with their own, They were starting to become a rather well respected adversary in the design world, with vessels far exceeding the potential of private companies and naval design bureaus, however, simply studying blueprints and making something better was not enough for them, and with increasingly more advanced technology being hidden away or encrypted, their fanatical search for superiority made them go to ever more drastic measures of acquiring it, eventually they broke off due to huge conflicts in the development sector and threats from the Domain's seat of power once it was obvious that they were a threat and intent on destroying anyone in their way to power.

After the collapse of the stargates, they devoted all their development into producing ship borne gate drives,
allowing the Valkyrians to warp without the use of stargates as long as a super-capital ship with this gate drive installed was present in the system,
they now inhabit large portions of space, some of it being worlds lost after the collapse and undiscovered systems.
They eventually found their way to Corvus and established their base of operations, now they fight amongst the others for control over the civilization that remains.

Faction

Spoiler
The faction itself consists of a mixed low to high tech nation devoted to military superiority and absolute control over everything, they consist of mostly of women using hand held beam weapons in the form of medieval lances and a shield able to deflect any form of weapon, in space, they rely heavily upon fighters, missiles and vast amounts of firepower, as part of their standard military doctrine, all ships are bristling with AA weaponry, capital ships are also a rare sight as they are very expensive to deploy due to their size, even cruisers and destroyers are massive compared to normal designs, which tends to scare off anyone trying to fight against them.

Pro's/Con's
Spoiler
Faction Strengths

- Near impenetrable point defence.
- Most weapons don't do that much damage.
- But makes up for that with the sheer number of weapons they have.
- Offers a wide variety of rapid-fire weapons and high alpha strike weapons for every situation.
- Very useful hull mods.
- Very well made premade variants, if you can't figure out a loadout, simply use those.
- Very straightforward, thus a good choice for casual players.
- Uses ballistic converted energy weapons, giving other low-tech factions the ability to mount energy weaponry.


Faction Weaknesses

- Ships are usually very slow and don't turn that well.
- Very large ships, thus an easy target for hard hitting weapons and bombers.
- Horrible shield upkeep, shields are hard to manage.
- Extremely high supply cost.
- Very high repair cost.
- VERY expensive faction weapons and ships.

- All Military variants removed.

- Burst Drive Replaced with Infernium drive, #made by Cycerin.#
- Incendiary ammunition replaced with Overcharge. increases damage and flux dissipation, but generates hard flux at a very fast rate.
- Added negative effects to the Vessel Modernization hull mod, it was simply an extremely good mod with no drawbacks. increases ship supply and repair per day by 10%.

- Legion Plasma LRM added. #Dark.Revenant modification#
- Removed Herald Destroyer (very old ship that never saw the light of day, a few people may have noticed it in the sprite folder under the name of "Limbo".)
- Almire Mk.III added. (last "combat" ship in the mod, no more will be added, i have too many ships as it is.)
- 2 rear small PD on Yoshura II removed, slightly new engine and hull design, all small PD is built in.
- Almire Mk.II changes: -2 large mounts, +2 medium mounts.
- Sequence added.
- Heron remodeled.

- Updated Convoy shopping list.
- Updated Boss fleet reward list.

- New Mission: King's bane, very similar to sinking the bis'mar, but considerably harder.

- Prototype variant of Nirvana MK.II part of royal armada.
- Remade some variants to include the ether driver.

- Decorative blinking lights on Nirvana Mk.II. (Yay Cycerin)

- frigates costs the same as before to deploy.

- repairs are doubbled in accordance to the 6.2 update, and CR to deploy has been lowered on "most" ships,

- Vatican Mk.III has recieved a facelift (cheers MShadowy) 2 hangars added. it now shares the equal highest flight deck count with the Astral and the Hildolfr(Neutrino).

- added a description to what the Command-Relay system does, as it was rather shady before.

- new suppression weapon, Twin HI-IR Laser, long range and a steady fire rate.

- Renamed "Desperate Defence" to "Valiant Defence"

 (both of these are very much WIP, and are on hold, dont expect them to show up any time soon)

- New heavy bomber in the making.

- Further increased supply cost of all ships.

- Increased the cost of Azmodaeus to 7.5 million credits. (supposed to be unattainable)

- I think i wrote some stuff in the previous versions list by mistake, so if something is new there, it should have been here. =)

#Version 1.3

- Wrote some more lore on the faction, it was rather short and confusing before, might extend it further.

- Blinking lights are blue for now, considering others.

- Removed 1 medium mount on Eclair and Nirvana-III.
- Removed 2 small missile mounts on Nirvana 1 and II.

- Light Antiproton Cannon is now a beam weapon and in the game alongside its bigger brother, could not be aquired in the previous versions.
- Several new/reworked variants featuring these weapons.

- Balance check on older weapons being done, starting with the heavy siege cannon, it shots slower, has increased range and costs much more flux, also gave it another sound, to make it sound more like a proper battleship main gun. (Yay Cycerin)
- If you think that some of the weapons from the old days feel to strong or to weak for todays standards, please speak up.

- Changed projectile for Ether Driver, you can actualy see where it shots now.
- More than halved the ammo on Ether Driver, because of its very impressive range of 1350SU, perfect accuracy and its ability to ignore shields.
  Increased its damage to 1000 from 900 to make up for the "lack of ammo" aswell as the rather high OP cost of this weapon compared to other weapons of similar fashion.

- New Sounds for Lancers. (Yay Cycerin)

- Prefix for sprites and ship IDs, for better compatebility, is being worked on.
- Graphics fix on Nirvana Mk.III. (it had 2 bridges stacked ontop of eachother)
- Completed Nirvana Mk.IV.
- bridge changed to Super Capital bridge on Vatican Mk.III.

- Semi-Added Infinity SSF Wing (far from complete.)

- Longer cooldown for cruise missiles and future large caliber missiles/torpedoes.

#Version 1.2B

- Valkyrian Super-capitals are the devils of the battlefield both in logistics and warfare... you need a fleets worth of supplies to back these beast's up.
- Valkyrian Capital ships begin to see the effect of being massive, their repair cost is immense, deployment cost is slightly above average.
- Valkyrian Cruisers and many other ships of this size have very high repair costs, but moderate CR cost.

- Valkyrian low tier ships and fighters are moderate on the CR side, and have average repair costs.

- Royal armada has 425 FP instead of 375, to account for my huge ego and new modded factions making their apperance.
(real reason, the fleet barely had any fighters/frigates whatsoever, now they do, should make minimal difference however.)

- Heron only has 1 flight deck now, instead of 2...because it only has 1 flight deck...

What color do you "feel" when you think of your faction?
Is the logo actually black? What colors did you try?
Maybe you can look up some meanings of colors and get inspired?
What type of govermental system does your faction have? is it a monarchy (royal blue, ultramarine, red etc)
or is it a theocracy (violet, dark blue, even white?)

Spoiler
i tried something dark greenish, with some color variations and black, with greyish metalic variations. But i was not that inspired so i didn't even save the sketches

The blue one gave the the best feeling, seeing as valkyrs had blue flames envelop them, color wise...hmm light blue?... i don't really know.. the color they have now but blue stripes maybe? i should replace the red hangars on the Valkyrie and the Vatican, they don't fit in with the heron.

Fixing pointers/added new material updating OP once its all done

Overhauled the Elysium, Since it looked way to much like the Sunder
Spoiler

Removed the wings and some other small details on the Almire to create some more difference between the 2 cruisers (still needs more changes)
Spoiler
[close]

Added a new defense platform, the Tesladora Mk.II
Spoiler
[close]

Removed the Ancord's side weapon mounts, it will now have 1 medium while the Helia has 2 small

Decreased the Guardian fleet's FP from 180 to 160.

And tommorow comes the coding to implement all of this.

Overhauled the Almire completely, its now a heavy cruiser. (can/will change, and wont be added yet.)
Spoiler
[close]

the "Elysium" will now appear in campaign fleets!  ;D

Fighter wings had cargo holds, which made no sense, fixed.

Changed weapon stats.

Adding more missions! "since i have 3 more icons for them laying about"

All ships with the drone_pd now have Mid line drones instead of high tech.

The Valkyrie Mk.II light carrier will no longer be deployed in fleets, hence its description, however, you can still buy it from the station.

Update coming "Soon™"

Feels like i'm the only one commenting here, forever alone thread much?

Valkyrian's Updated, download the mod again to receive current features.

What's next?
I was planning to ask Lady wizard if he could help me give the faction 3 separate stations, one for ships, one for weapons/crew and one for various supplies, if its not possible, I'l just continue fixing what errors/bugs people run across.

Hum, you know how to add one right? The only difference is that when you addcargo or addmothball, you specify the station, also, you can create 3 supplyfleets or just one with a cargo and delivery location based on a Math.random

I know how to add a station and a convoy to it, but i got some wired error that didn't have a cause when i did it myself, so i though I'l ask someone better at coding than i am (probably anyone ;D) to help me or look at the files themselves so they know what they are dealing with.
