Parlay
The hidden base, tavern "VentFlux" cycle 207. Since the Hegemony had effectively shut off outside world contact.The hidden base was the only sign that piracy was still there in corvus.
Raiding was reduced to a suicide endavour, left to only the very brave, or desperate.

Two pirate captains sit in the corner. The bar is filled with shady folk, brimming with unhappiness.
"This is ridiculous captain Thrax." the other pirate looks up from the watery whiskey before him. "How are we to do, what we do?! Even the most honest raid is a trip to the locker now." The pirate remained silent, settled a little better,looking at his cup. " Relax my friend, now that the whiskey is getting watered i think action is required.

Sent out a message to all pirates in the sectors around us. It is time for a parlay."
And the pirate lords responded:


From the North:
The pirates of trade sector Trianon.

The pirates from Trianon get their ships just like they do in corvus: buying up the lowtech ships from wherever they can. Corrupt hegemony officers are well seen guest to these pirates, providing them with ships and info on convoys alike.Their ships are very similar to the corvus pirates in all ways, cheap and unremarkable, yet effective.
                 
capital "parrot"                        cruiser "Wrath"    destroyer "Saint-Bernard"       fighter "Tachy"
From the East:
The scrapjackers from waste sector 1B.

The core world's waste sector hones the most creative pirates. They dont use standard autofactory ships, but make them from scrap, nicely delivered to them by the hegemony convoys. Their ships are heavily armored, but as soon that is gone the hull soon follows, as the ship structure is not the most solid.

cruiser "Queen"                           destroyer "duke"                      destroyer "earl"  fighter "squire"
 
From the South:

The Buccaneers from the terraformed sector Hether.

These  fine gents make their booze by holding hostage food convoys to force payment. Sometimes they just take it, because even pirate got to eat. They use mostly smaller ships with big front hardpoints ballistic weapons and missiles. these guys are hard nuts to crack, and know what they are doing.



cruiser "Nomad" cruiser "coyote" destroyer ''valkyrial'' fighter "firefly"

From the West:

WIP


Parlay aims to crate a better experience by adding more ships to the pirate faction. After all, who isnt the favorite punchbag of all factions, young and old alike? More ships to fight as player, and its will give the pirates more punch against other factions.

Uses sprites from medikohl,Thule and happyfache. Special thanks to Medikohl again, as i used his pirate faction in starsector plus as a lead.

I would like someone to give me a hand looking at my code as i am doing this the first time, much appreciated.

                                                 (warning, Uomoz has nothing do to with this mod, if you have                                            
                                                 problems with the mod, post it here, not in Uomoz' corvus thread.)

Need opinions/ reports on:
-  errors
- (im)balance
- The pitbull, is it to weak right now with only one in a wing? Should i leave it as is or add a second one?
- fleet composition, Do you guys prefer mixed fleets, so all styles mixed or all as separated as possible?

And thank you, for taking your time reading all this, giving me feedback and of course, downloading this mod!

[Uomoz]

Actually I already implemented Pirates Plus for that very reason xD.

[maffo]

In this version or the next one? I dont see it on the list. Anyway im still going to see what i can, could be interesting to try once.

[maffo]

updated the post with a bit more info on the ships and new subfaction ships i want to add. Any help is once again appreciated!

Could anyone help me with this error?

[LazyWizard]

The broken file should be right above what you posted in the log, it's the line that says something like "Loading JSON from <filename>". The error's only 7 characters into the file, so it's probably on the first or second line.

[maffo]

Thank you! That will hopefully bring me a bit closer to making one part work.

[maffo]

first working beta version is up! Download it and tell me if you like it

[maffo]

main post is shaping up, showing most new subfactions im planning to add to the pirates.

[maffo]

New version is up! It has now 2 of 4 for subfactions in the game. Please download it and tell me how/if you like it!

[maffo]

new version is now available, give it a chance. Combining it with oumoz corvus is recommended.

[Gothars]

For me it crashed during my first fight.

[Upgradecap]

@Gothars a bit more detail would be nice (like what you did prior to the crash, what ships where present (both sides) etc.). Also, for bugtesting purposes, could you perhaps try to run with just parlay? I know it might not seem much, but since this is a null error, it'll help quite a lot.

[maffo]

i dont see anything obvious in the error that would point me in the right direction. Could you do what upgrade said and just run parlay for a moment and try and engage again?

EDIT: I had a similar error, it is most likely cause by the squire fighters being seen as an independent ship, and not as a fighter wing, i will look into it and try to fix it. Tips are appreciated.

[Gothars]

I was fighting a fleet of Squires, Piranhas and a Scarab in a Wolf. After defeating them the battle did not end but the game crashed after ~30 seconds. There might have been other ships outside my sensor range.

I will try the mod a bit standalone.

[Gothars]

Yeah, its the Squires. There is no message about their destruction if you kill them. Just had another encounter with them, the battle did again not end. Leaving manually resulted in another fatal: null.
