By the way i know what caused the mission backgrounds to not appear, it doesn't work with DevMode. No idea why.

Now that's curious... Glad you found out why it didn't work though. I might report that in the bug section.

Thanks to Debido's help, the Area scorcher is now functioning properly. This is a potent weapon againt fighters and bombers, but use a large slot.



Also the DPS don't take into account the secondary munitions (you can multiply that by 15, but of course most don't hit anything)
If you didn't checked the OP, the next update will also feature:

Here we go again

CHANGELOG
Spoiler
V0.5
27/07/2014
Updated fleets files and Exerelin files to include the new content
Updated variants with the new content

new weapons
Area Scorcher : a large flak with area of effect. Thanks Debido for the script
Small flak: well, it's a small flak... Nothing  much original, but it was missing.
Medium Penetrator Railgun: this weapon is able to punch trough soft targets such as missiles, small asteroids of fighter wreck and hit what's behind. No longer the Onslaugh rocket barrage will prevent you from hitting back!

Manticore Carrier: a Manticore cruiser that lost it large weapon mount but sport three flight-decks and is a bit cheaper.
Fighters: The Sufi and Atfi fighters come in three flavours: PD, Interceptor and combat.
   Sufi are slow by Scy standard, witch make them best suited for escort duties, but sturdy and have plenty on replacements chassis.
   Atfi are pretty fast, more powerfull and shielded, but don't have much armor, and have few replacements.

Small improvement of the anti-missile AI

Don't forget this survey and help me and other modders to make the best mods ever!

I like the little details and the background info you're creating around Scy. I am also impressed with the smoothness of your animations. It makes me want to redo everything I've done for some of my mods. The consistant art style of your ships, while not completely in line with vanilla Starsector's artwork, somehow fits and looks neat and appealing. I must also applaud you for the way you are balancing the mod. You do not seem to be caught up in the faction mods' "arms race". The weapons and ships are fun to fly with, not complete pushovers in the hands of the AI, and far far from overpowered. In fact, I think they are perfectly balanced. Keep up the good work, Tartiflette!

date: 207.061
Vidcom emiter: Head of "Probes And Remote Detection System Center", Mark Daniel
Vidcom reciever: Lieutenant Victor Pallier

TRANSCRIPTION BEGIN:
"Sir , one the probes sent back a positive result.
As ordered we started a large recon operations in the systems near the coordonates you sent us. For several weeks there was nothing to report but some unmapped ressource rich asteroids fields. However 4 days ago we recieved an image of an unknown contact in the system 06-wz46 [see attachment]. We programmed the probe for a second passage once but by that time the contact had vanished. All data collected has been sent to your office.
I'm at your disposal for further instruction."

TRANSCRIPTION END

100% agreed. :) The lore and backstory especially, Tartiflette, is pretty grabbing.

Thanks for the compliments everyone, I really appreciate that you are enjoying my little teases. I hope this update will be releasable in a week or so, depending on the non Scy stuff I have to do...

Oh man, I love how you're showing it being built! A bunch of tugs bringing in other parts and everything!
And I can reveal another interesting information about this ship: I didn't sprited all the interior just for this picture. It was a necessity, in relation with it's ship system...

Tartiflette, some feedback:
Hullbreaker Drones seem to have very very tiny hullbound profiles. Too tiny, I think. I've had highly accurate non-beam PD weapons miss 97% of the time because of this (even when it looked like they were hitting the drone).

You might want to look into their polygons, unless this is intended. But as of now it looks like even highly accurate PD weapons miss, unless they hit that 1 pixel in the centre of the Drone's sprite.
