This team should have lower armor and shields...they look and seem like a faction who would have it unlike the Antediluvian's

they have no shields, armor is high to counterbalance being shieldless

I re-tried this mod with 0.61. I had quite a big problem, your ships eat supplies like crazy. 3 and 4 per day for the two frigates, the cost is enormous! And if you get damaged (which will be very likely due to the lack of shields) the additional supplies for repair will kill you faster than any pirates fleet. Pretty much the same thing for every ships of course. A wing of interceptors cost 5 supplies per day, the fighters 4 and surprisingly the bombers which are extremely strong cost only 3 per day.

Also i noticed the carrier is not available at the station.

Can't say much more since i couldn't buy more than two frigates without starving my crew to death. However something you could modify is changing the jump point Alpha directly to the Firestorm station rather to that lone planet far away.

ill get those fixed and changed, hopefully soon

For your next update, please nerf the FF bombers. Those things are total monstrosities.

They are though as nail, they have shields, they come in wings of 3, they got 2 reapers per bombers and they are incredibly fast. I played a fleet which fielded only bombers and carriers, no need for interceptors since nothing can stop your bombers. With this fleet i was even able to atomize Valkyrian royal guard with ease.

So yeah, "kinda" overpowered. Still, that was a good (maniacal) laugh.

Man, I don't see how you could redesign them when they're already masterpieces, they're beautiful ships you've crafted.

But I'm DEFINITELY looking forward to seeing that!

And I'd like to let you know I'm a massive fan of your sprite style, I'll follow your work in any medium.

You could probably just look to see how it's done in one of the other mods that has interaction dialogue that does stuff and re-purpose that to give you ships? Shouldn't be too hard considering how readable everyone's scripting is.

Ask Okim, I know he has Asteroid interaction for his mining system.

This is called me throwing my missile swarm at you, and by swarm I mean massacre, and by missiles... I actually just mean missiles, there's actually not much to it really.

the complete overhaul of my faction is nearing completion and a new version is within sight

all that remains is creating my factions weapons

while I have updated the OP here are the new ship sprites, you probably will be able to see some of the new ships that I have created as well

Spoiler
Fighters
 

Frigates
     

Destroyer
 

Cruisers
 

Capital Ship
 
[close]

there are two ships I may redo though,

I appologize for the long wait for an update but I hope that this large of an update will make up for it

Im not dead!

sorry for taking so long with this, all sorts of things got in the way of updating such as college, hard drive dying then the rest of my computer shortly after.

I've been trying to make custom weapons for my faction but they didn't make it into this release for the above reasons
I've changed all the ships sprites but that unfortunately also changed the weapon layouts and load outs so things may be severely out of balance

I still plan on making custom weapons for my faction but that will take time to do
there are other things I would like to add aswell but I will need to poke people to help
