I have a strange AI related bug to report:

I pitted a vapor against a caracotta (armor) class
The vapor engages normally while the carocotta still has its armored bow
As soon as the frontal armor is destroyed, the vapor refuses to close range and engage, instead staying perpetually at ~1500 - 2000 su and never even attempting to attack
In order to get the vapor to actually engage, I have to force it to close the distance with an eliminate order (harass, search and destroy, and engage orders do not work, the vapor will never engage the target)

I don't know if this is a bug with the vapor AI, or a bug with the scy ship and its armor.

Reproduction steps:

Vapor: 2x Banish Torpedo, 2x Scatter Beam; Safety Overrides, Hardened Subsystems; 11 Capacitor, 0 Vent
Carocotta (Armored) Class: (the standard version in the simulator)

Set the Vapor to autopilot enabled
Give an engage order on the Carocotta

Wait for the Vapor to eventually whittle down and destroy the Carocotta's bow armor
Once the vapor has accomplished this it will disengage to 1500 - 2000 su and never re-engage again

First time using forum, sorry if I miss something
So I've found a bug with Khalkotauroi ship, when its main beam is damaged (i guess if some pods are destroyed) and haven't fully repaired until the next combat in campaign, when you deploy this ship it's instantly breaks (full HP but is disabled), but if you still win a battle it's ok and continues to repair, so the problem is that you can't deploy it until its beam is fully functional

Never heard of that issue, I'll investigate.

Hi, the mod crashes on Linux during game launch cause of two case mismatches.

Code

java.lang.RuntimeException: Error loading [graphics/SCY/weapons/SCY_arc_SmallH.png] resource, not found...

It works if you rename the files in mods/SCY/graphics/SCY/weapons/ (SCY_arc_smallH.png -> SCY_arc_SmallH.png and SCY_arc_smallT.png -> SCY_arc_SmallT.png).

Had the same problem here


Please reference files by their actual name

Interesting bug: whenever the telchine kills something with its beam, the target disappears completely. It doesn't count as a death either as the ships survive after the battle.

I added this mod yesterday and today there is a new update available!

Thanks for the new content and hope to see more. I love the effort that has been put into it, thank you.

Personally, I prefer the alternative skin set and I will definitely be using it, so thank you for the effort put into making it. I especially like how the end bits look like sharp steel blades and the overall darker look makes them feel much more menacing and deadly.

Is this an improvement in ships?
My eyes have not deceived me?
But what about poor masochists, what will they suffer from now? Although the improvements are small, and these ships are still the weakest and worthless in the whole sector.
Thank you for your work, although you would try, unlike some other authors.

I must say I really like the clean look of the alt-art pack.

[EvilPineapple]

I've been avoid this mod because the paint jobs and engines looked very out of place to me compared to vanilla ship designs. However, the simpler retexture looks great and learning about aerospikes makes me appreciate the engine design much more. What kind of aerospike are your engines? Seems like they should have more curved sides if they were toroidal or flatter ends if they were linear. Maybe I need to see them in motion.

[Shrugger]

Aerospikes in space? Must be some dense nebulae.

[Tartiflette]

There are some snipets in the lore that explain how the engines were meant for ships able to land, but it was the only type of engine they had the blueprint of for their whole navy.
