Sadly I don't know of any way to acquire 100+ of them, and I usually plan on supplementing my bounty hunting with some hauling until I have a large enough fleet to take on pretty much anything so this is really stonewalling my progress.

For me, it's more that they are only available in a good amount in certain areas. It's kind of the same problem with cloned organs in Shadowyards. Hopefully you can find a way to lower the number of missions that require them.

Also I noticed that I have 30% less downloads for Twiglib than Scy, that must be a lot of unhappy player... Remember that TwigLib is required to make Scy run.

Looking around other mods I think the TwigLib depedency/download gets lost among the banners in the OP. Other mods like to have big red letters yelling "pl0x install LazyLib". On the other hand, TwigLib is only required by Scy AFAIK while most mods use LazyLib. So maybe some people just download LazyLib once because they see it everywhere / nothing works without it and ShaderLib because it makes things shiny don't care about what is really written in the OPs. Including other depedencies, sadly.

Most likely if more mods used TwigLib then it wouldn't be a problem like in the case of LazyLib.

IMO the best you can do is have big red letters yelling "pl0x install TwigLib" above it's download banner.

P.s.: check out the e.g. Neutrino OP to see what I refer to in my post :)

Well Neutrino is for me the poster child of obscure OP where you don't know what is needed or how to get the mod.

Lightweight plating seems to increase deployment cost by a flat 15%, rather than 15% of the base deployment cost. Is this intentional? If so, It seems like it removes a majority of the benefits you might otherwise get from the hullmod.
~Assuming Lightweight plating is infact added by this mod. Might be mistaken.
It's from Scy (as well as Minimal Preparation) And it was intentional. While I see your point, I fear it could become way too powerful at high level when you have a reduced deployment cost, a good ship and can manage to only take hits to your shields. Safeties Override + Lightweight Plating builds would be straight up unfair (they might already be).
Hmm. I suppose I see the point. The armor reduction is only a large penalty if you aren't using shield-focused ships, and the speed boost could get rather silly through stacking *Everything*. I thought that the reduction in armor, and CR duration was enough, especially if you stack it with safety overrides. -60% -20%, or something. I can't remember the exact numbers. That kinda cripples your ability to fight for very long, even if you get a blindingly fast interception frigate. That, and the OP point cost. Safety overrides gives you something like 60 seconds with a frigate, from 3 minutes, and that will probably cut it to 40 seconds at best. I am not certain if the CR decay rate also increases, but if it does, its even more of a penalty, such that stacking, unless you use the speed in that 40 second window to it's maximum potential, will degrade VERY quickly.

I would suggest updating the tooltip to make it a bit more clear however. "Flat 15%" or "Base 15%" or something.

Until you can figure it out, is there any way to disable the intel chips?

So...does tartarus still change position after it spawns because it's spawned in my new game far up in the top left corner of the map and I cannot see any way to justify that trip through deep hyperspace.

I'm looking at what appear to be two medium ballistic mounts on the erymanthian boar [ armored ] design, but i can't equip any weapons. i am pretty sure they are weapon mounts, anyway.


Oh, and - How do you pronounce the names of the star systems "Acheron" and "Tartarus" ?

It does (obviously) but it shouldn't move farther that 6000 units (that's three small grid lines) away from another hyperspace point... Unless the floating text labels in Hyper are still considered as Entities. Didn't checked that ><".

Those are the Armor mounts, you can't mount a weapon in there because they have a built-in one. (And I can't show it in refit due to the hackish way TwigLib works)
As for the names:

first: beautiful mod, beautiful ships. the designs seem very straightforward and functional like something from the mind of an engineer. the drive graphics are unique.

I started a trading character and bought a Centaur freighter easily. Felt a bit overpowered -- 11 burn speed, a big weapon, economical. Seems like it should be a destroyer, not a frigate. Maybe lower the cargo space? Was there some trade off that I wasn't seeing like low flux? Maybe it shouldn't be available to civilians if it's meant to be that good.
