Title: [0.97a] Grytpype and Moriarty Defence Authority 0.9.9h (New Version Ed.)
Post by: King Alfonzo on January 05, 2017, 08:53:50 PM

A controversial organisation within the sector, the Grytpype and Moriarty Defence Authority often protects independent planets and stations from the clammy fingers of pirates, luddic pathers... and 'illegitimate' merchantile convoys of established factions. Attempts to remove this organisation have proven troublesome, as those not under the sway of the centralized powers recieve superior and often more immediate defence against the continually troublesome reavers in the Sector in return for their support of the GMDA. Using existing Sector ships, the GMDA repurposes them for higher risk combat styles. Unsurprisingly they are often seen around the junkyard at Agreus, the more seedy sections of Ilm, and even boast a 'Showroom' somewhere on New Maxios. Their ships come in two ranges:

THE GMDA RANGE:

The main ships of the GMDA, these ships are fast and light. Their unique engine systems enable them unparalleled speed when weapon systems are not active, and a boost to engine power, fire rate, damage dealt and flux dissipation during high flux situations, at the cost of reduced peak operating time, increased sensor profile, and decreased range and braking ability at high flux. This makes these ships perfect for pursuit operations and small skirmishes, however in larger battles they can overextend badly if not suitably supported. Further, some models have slight variations in design to increase pursuit potential.

THE GMHQ RANGE:
Through tinkering and over-engineering by key GMDA designers, this range of ships are incredibly powerful, but also incredibly impractical - quite often their high supply costs prevent their widespread usage, while minor quirks in their design inhibits their utility. Nevertheless, these rare ships can be very dangerous in ship to ship combat, and treated with a little bit more respect than the usual GMDA vessel.

It continues! This is a sub-faction similar to CABAL that comes with new ships, new weapons (The Bludknock Chaser; like a limited shot Salamander on Steroids; Bluebottler, a weak kinetic gun, and the Crun Gun, a specialized weapon that kills fighters and deals EMP) and new character names (I apologise in advance for the Bounty names becoming increasingly ridicuous). The aim is to make a faction that both helps out independant markets from harrasment, kind of help independent trader and bounty hunter players in the early game, and also add a bit more danger to independent markets for more faction-orientated players.

This is a bit of a prelude to future work, albeit minor stuff - this is just an update for the upcoming tournament, to fix some niggling issues. Please notify me if anything goes wrong. Integrated properly into Corvus mode, but can also kind-of-sort-of work in Nexerellin; just don't expect to find GMDA markets in random sector mode.

-Onslaught (GM) sprite altered - it's now wider.

0.9.5
-GMDA Overhauled - again
   -Ships are much more powerful across the board, but are more expensive to maintain and cost more to deploy.
   -Faction now brought more strictly in line with CABAL's extortion script, however they will only ever demand money.
   -Fleets will pretend to be independant if threatened.
-Added Mercenary Outposts - very expensive colony structures that add defense fleets to your markets, proportional to market size. Right now there are only two:
   -Nedwin Seagoon Security Depot - Provides a complement of defending fleets to your market, except they're all GMDA affiliated. Requires good relations with GMDA to build.
   -Condottiere Mercenary Company - Provides independant military patrols, however the number and size of the patrols is very limited for the cost.
   -Only one can be built at a time, however it is possible to cheese this.
-Renamed Condor (GM), Tarsus (GMs) and Tarsus (GM) to Carker, Hummer and Jutter, respectively.
-Venture (GM) overhauled; new sprite that looks more Venture-ish, is now a better support vessel than the old version.

-Tweaked the sprite of the the Wayfarer (GM).
-Wolf (GMs) and Lasher (GMs) removed from rotation. Kept as legacy, until I figure out what to do with them.
-The modular Lurgi Suppression beam is now a medium weapon, and has been consequently buffed.

0.9.4b
-Changed the DP of the Condor (GM) and Venture (GM), should a bit more balanced to use.
-Tweaked the Sunder (GMHQ) to be better.
-Reworked the overdrive Hullmod - now gives a scaling bonus dependant on flux level, with increased speed, acceleration, venting and damage output at high flux, but also range maluses down to 450 s.u. at high flux.

0.9.4a
-Hotfix to change the GMs hullmod crash.
-Tweaked the Bluebottler Gun to be more flux efficient.

0.9.4
-GMDA hullmod now actually works.
-Coloured GMs ships removed from rotation. Kept as a legacy, however, to prevent game crashing.
-Added the Kite (GMHQ), Lasher (GMHQ) and Wolf (GMHQ)
-Tweaked various sprites and weapons.
-Changed the GMDA faction flag.


0.9.3
-Clarified the GMDA playstyle by breaking the hullmods into two base hullmods
   -Bludknock Engines, which gives a zero-flux speed boost while blocking the engine mods
   -Overdrive System, which explains the boosts at high flux and drawbacks to using the system
-Due to the inclusion of the Speeding Ticket system (Similar to Luddic Path), the chances of being completely ganked by GMDA fleets has been mitigated for early game fleets. Consequently, a lot of the nerfs have been removed from GMDA ships, making them more attractive.
-Standard GM Stock ships are now worse, but cheaper.
-Coloured GMs ships are now rarer and better - in the future they may be phased out completely, excluding any future ideas to make a Wolf with Terminator Drones, a Phase Lasher, or an EMP kite.
-Altered various ship stats to be more compliant with 0.9.1a.
-The Crun Gun, in addition to Fighter Elimination, is now also good at general purpose PD, while the Bluebottler gun and Modular Lurgi Suppression Beam have been slightly improved.
-The Sprites for all of the frigates (excluding the Kite), and the Sagitus duo have been reworked
-The Tarsus (GM), Tarsus (GMs) and Condor (GM) have been reworked both in sprite and function
-GMDA blueprints now have images in them.
-Descriptions have had a pass over - still might be mistakes lurking in there somwehere.


0.9.2d
-Updated ship prices to be consistent with 0.9.1a.

0.9.2c
-Fixed the random variant crash

0.9.2b
-Coloured lashers and wolves have been buffed a smidgeon.

0.9.2a
-Lasher (GMs) and Wolf (GMs) have been reworked
   -Grey GMs ships are worse than their respective vanilla versions, but cheaper to run.
   -Coloured GMs ships have been buffed to fit with their drawbacks to make them more attractive, but made rarer to see in patrols.
-GMDA and GMs hullmods now have the high flux speed boost activate at lower thresholds (65% and 75%, respectively), and the speeds tweaked.
-Description for Shift Jets added
-Bribe script tweaked - should be more forgiving...?

0.9.2
-Added Phase hullmod to Sunder (GMHQ)
-All GMDA ships with overdrive have had their mobility systems downgraded in quality and their speeds slightly cut.
   -It made no real sense where the playstyle was to sacrifice speed between low and high flux, and yet have shipsystems that mitigated this.

0.9.1a
-Fixed Hullmod Description Crash.
-Fixed floating pixels in the Glow Map of Onslaught (GMHQ)

0.9.0
-Updated to 0.9.0a
-Minor sprite updates across the board.
-Onslaught (GM) and Onslaught (GMHQ) have been tweaked to have less weapon mounts in general; ordinance has been tweaked accordingly.
-The Bludknock missiles fired from the Thunder (GM) are now weaker, and move faster
-The GMDA hullmod has (again) undergone a change in function; hulls now also have a passive vent bonus above 80% flux, and an overload duration increase of 150%.
   *This should now make it clear that these ships favour high risk-high reward playstyles.
-GMDA markets now give a good bonus to accessibility, but reduce stability.
-Added in a 'Bribe' script similar to Luddic Path; openning the comm link when engaged will reveal an option to pay a speeding ticket instead of being attacked; particularly useful for small, early game fleets.


0.8.3
-Added the Sunder GMHQ - Phase Sunder Protoype. Emphasis - PROTOTYPE.
-Tweaked Spawn code so fleets are a lot less likely to spawn on top of you in hyperspace.
-The GMDA hullmod now increases sensor profile.
   -These two should prevent Sudden GMDA Death Syndrome.

-Added new Nexerellin and Gladiator Bounty compatability.
-Increased the speed of the Hammerhead GMHQ.
-Lurgi Suppression Beams Tweaked again.


0.8.2a
Recoded Bludnock engines to function properly. Maybe.
Reduced Impact of Lurgi Suppression beam weapons.

0.8.2
GM ships are now slower. Being at high flux or zero flux is necessary to unlock the increased speed.
Independants will now occassionally use GMs ships
Added a modular Lurgi Suppression Beam; A flux hungry, low damage burst energy weapon that will freeze enemy ships and cripple unshielded foes.

0.8.1
Fixed HULLMOD CONFLICTs in the variants.
Added some Gladiator Society bounties.

0.8
-Sprite Tweaks to Falcon and Venture.
-Added Hammerhead (GMHQ) and Kite (GM).
-Sunder (GM) and Vigilance (GM) ship systems made more 'bursty'.
-GMDA fleets now tend to be smaller patrols rather than a mix of large and small fleets.
-Reduced the burn level of all destroyers to 9, increased burn speed of all destroyer-level cargo ships to 9.
-Fundamentally changed how the GMDA and GMs hullmods work
   -Increased Zero-Flux speed boost.
   -Above 75% flux, gain a speed boost.
   -Burn Speed bonus removed.
   -Peak Operating Time is now only reduced by a quarter.
   -Hull and armour penalties made less severe.
   -Supply cost removed, deployment cost increased.
   -Cargo and Fuel capacity drawbacks and improved maneuverability remain unchanged.

0.7
-Sprite Tweaks on Hammerhead, Lashers, Wolves and Wayfarers
-Falcon (GM) loses two small missiles, now has double medium composite hardpoints at the front. Suffers from Poor Missile Integration, reducing missile ammo and rate of fire by 25%, no Expanded Missile Racks
-Sunder (GM) added; loses two small missiles and two medium energies, replaced with two medium synergy, suffers from Poor missile Integration (see above)
-Vigilance (GM) added; loses traditional layout two get two medium synergies, suffers from Poor Missile Integration (See Above)
-Onslaught (GM) added; reworked weapons layout, fairly fast for an Onslaught, but overall weaker package.
-Crun Gun sprite touched up, weapon now fires slightly faster and with more flux efficiency
-Bluebottler tweaked to have more EMP and more flux efficiency, removed PD tag; now an EMP spewing assault annoyance.
-Chaser Missiles reduced damage from 1500 to 1000, missile AI now actually works.
-GMDA Hullmod loses flux and damage bonuses, gets a bit more peak performance back, and loses some hull; these ships now die very, very fast without shielding.

0.6e

-Tarsus (GM) had cargo reduced and flux stats drastically cut, but OP increased - is not a much more dedicated missile support destroyer
-Tarsus (GMs) turned into a semi-competant combat freighter
-Added the Sagitus (C) and Sagitus (F); the new civ freighters of the GMDA
-Touched up the sprites of the Wayfarer (GM), Wayfarer (GMs), Condor (GM), Tarsus (GM) and Tarsus (GMs).
-Reduced max number of fleets - now you're less likely to get mobbed if you're playing as a major faction

0.6d (Silent)
-Fixed Ilm market
-Fixed Tarsus (GMs)t
-Added Version Checker

0.6d
- Works in 0.8.1a
- Added Venture (GM)

0.6c
-Fixed Hangar Error

0.6b
-Fixed Variant Problems
-Figured out I had made one of the missile slots on the hammerhead a turret instead of a hardpoint - missile slots fixed
-GM condor now refits fighters faster.

0.6
-Upped OP of Chaser to 7, Single to 3; reduced HP of missile from 200 to 125
-Crun gun:
   -Fires slower
   -Bullets travel faster
   -Reduced 'base' damage

So, now that I have seen these ships in-game, I am also wondering when this faction will be fully available for Nexerelin (not just Corvus, they didn't spawn without a market/planet in Nexerelin, yet it says they retreat to an independent market, which just so happens to be in the exact same sector that I started in).

I also wonder if they'll get a (and this is a longshot) Capital ship. It's not necessary, but it looks like they might get one (going for the longshot guess it's an Onslaught on speed steroids, if not, an reconfigured Conquest. Paragon wouldn't make too much sense haha).

I look forward to the next update, seriously not hoping to have to actually shoot these guys to get a ship and engage in a mini-war with them.

Also, any plans to make the mod compatible with Nexerelin? I see that they spawn in game in either of Nex's modes as some fleets that move around without a home world much like the Luddic Path.

Huh. For some reason a variant that was supposed to be on a lasher was renamed for the wolf. Apologies.
I'll fix that for the next patch release, released RIGHT NOW.

And as for Nexerellin Integration...if they're flying around like Luddic Path, then they're working properly. Otherwise it's beyond my ability to code.

Ok, did a short test run in Corvus. Mod works as intended.

It didn't click at first that the GMDA market's are in Independent markets stated in the intro, but I've checked each location and they were there. I like how you replicated Cabal Exchange into the mod.

All variants appears to have no faults, though I have a few I want to point out.

.

Condor (GM).
- All the variants it has are 10 OP over the limit. I think removing the OP from caps/vents would still not allow a player to fit weapons into all slots. Maybe increase the OP limit by 10 should be fine?


Hammerhead (GM)
- The 'Pursuit' variant has 6 OP unused, and has a HULLMOD CONFLICT.
You've blocked Auxiliary Thrusters, but you've put them on this variant... (I've checked the faction's java file and this variant's file).
- The 'Elite' variant is 4 OP over the limit. Removing Blast Door hull mod and re-allocating the freed OP should solve this.


Lasher (GM)
- The 'Pursuit' variant is 4 OP over the limit. Removing 4 OP from vents would bring it down to the limit.


Lasher (GMs)
- 'Close Support' variant has  2 OP unused.


Tarsus (GM)
- 'Standard' variant is 10 OP over the limit. Removing Accelerated Shield and either caps/vents should bring it down to the limit.


Wolf (GM)
- 'Elite' variant has 3 OP unspent.


Wolf (GMs Blue)
- 'Annoying' variant has 3 OP unspent.


Wolf (GMs Green)
- 'Point Defense' variant has 6 OP unspent.

.

Hope this helps! Love the racecar theme!

Good to hear, I was a little worried I missed something. And it's supposed to be the independent CABAL; Tri Tachyon has Cabal, Luddic Church has Luddic Path, and Hegemony (in a twisted fashion) has Sindrian Diktat. I thought the independents could use some questionable 'allies'.

All variants appears to have no faults, though I have a few I want to point out.

Yikes, I thought I'd gotten most of those. I'll fix them in a quick patch later. Good to hear you're having fun!

Regarding the Condor: This is actually supposed to be by choice - I wanted the Condor to be desperately OP starved to the point where you're not supposed to fully kit it out, to solidify it's role as a support ship (Or in the very least to make it feel like a Tarsus with more weapon mounts stuck on, without thinking that the ship needs additional ordinance to support them). This might seem unkind at the moment, but I plan to add a subtle hullmod later that'll justify the low OP cost (that will eventually be rendered useless by 0.8, but before then it should prove to be quite useful for the fighter fleet admiral). My reach went beyond my grasp, so i had to do a cop out here.

That Wayfarer is looking very smooth...

I like it :)

Thank you! Although the way it works now the Stock version might become too annoying to properly catch.

the GMDA hammerhead's missile slots are a bit funky, they aren't symmetrical with the left being a static mount and the right a turret, the left is also positioned a bit further ahead of the right one.

A great little mod! The ships look great and i love the variety in the frigates lines, really makes you want to collect them all. Ive never had a reason to take hardened subsystems before and trying to rid yourself of the enemy asap was a real nice change in pace.

Ive gotten  through 2 profiles with nothing but GM ships and ive never even *seen* either reds, a gold, or a pink in the market. Are they incredibly rare? Has anyone gotten them without raiding GM fleets?

The golds and pinks are deliberately rare; they're very powerful ships when properly kitted out.

Not too sure about the reds - they should be as common as the other coloured stock options.



EDIT: What are you talking about? There always WAS a market on Ilm! Clearly you're seeing things.

So you can't really kite, or kite effectively, without running into troubles in a reasonable amount of time. Just outlast them and you'll be able to deal with them pretty easily.

Full disclaimer, I haven't played with this mod, but I believe that's exactly the "peashooting CR attrition war" he's complaining about. "Peashooting" because they have poor ordinance, "CR attrition war" because they have very low PPT. CR wars are a necessary evil to prevent infinitely long battles, but for the sake of enjoyable gameplay they shouldn't be the only way or even the best way to kill something.

Fortunately, in 0.8 there is another way these kind of battles can end; in fighters. Admittedly I don't know exactly how fast these ships go, but I doubt they can outpace interceptors. Having a carrier with some Talons or Gladii or other fast fighters does wonders in terms of clearing the battlespace of pesky frigates.

They do have a weakness to fighters and missiles; they have slightly better flux and are quicker, but also lack armour. Getting around the shields can and will cause considerable damage. A well placed MIRV, Sabot or Warthog strike should be enough to critically destroy a ship.

So uh, the GM Hammerhead has less than a minute of PPT, I haven't gotten my hands on any other GM ships yet but it feels wrong that even with hardened subsystems a destroyer is best compared to an SO Lasher

edit: looking through the codex most of the baseline GM ships seem to fall FAR below what I would call "minimally viable" PPT, with a base PPT on the Lasher GM of 36 seconds there's just no realistic scenario in which the ship can be useful except extremely small, low intensity fights, and even there it will suffer grossly due to having all its cargo and fuel capacity stripped out. The benefits of the GMDA retrofit seem to be pretty comparable to just installing SO, but the downsides are massively more severe.

It's kind of a playstyle thing; if you're playing as a player with the ship, then the poor peak time restricts it's usage to short bursts (as intended). If you're playing against the AI who have these ships, then the obvious strategy is to wait them out, then mob them once their CR has dropped to 0%. Further, it prevents their repeated usage anyway due to poor peak time.

Also lore-wise they're supposed to run out of steam quickly - they're a lot of rather questionable modifications added to existing ships that make them fast, without much thought into anything else. Heck, the reduced armour is often listed as a feature. The GM Tarsus and GM Condor are both actually garbage when you look look at it objectively. The only situations they're supposed to be good in is high-speed pursuit or very fast hit-and-run ttacks, hence making them an annoying if very niche sort of ship style.

From the steaming depths of Lanchishire Station Tea Buffet, comes a chilling new update to the GMDA: The "Logistcal Update", now with improved sprites, the Tarsus (GM) is now no longer complete garbage (but it's still pretty bad), the Tarsus (GMs) is now a little bit better (but not by much), two new civilian ships to replace the Tarsus (GMs), and some touching up of the Wayfarer Sprites. Also reduced the number of fleets you'll encounter so putting this on while playing as a faction is no longer suicide. This change will only apply to new games, however.

Code
0.7 changelog 
-Sprite Tweaks on Hammerhead, Lashers, Wolves and Wayfarers
-Falcon (GM) loses two small missiles, now has double medium composite hardpoints at the front. Suffers from Poor Missile Integration, reducing missile ammo and rate of fire by 25%, no Expanded Missile Racks
-Sunder (GM) added; loses two small missiles and two medium energies, replaced with two medium synergy, suffers from Poor missile Integration (see above)
-Vigilance (GM) added; loses traditional layout two get two medium synergies, suffers from Poor Missile Integration (See Above)
-Onslaught (GM) added; reworked weapons layout, fairly fast for an Onslaught, but overall weaker package.
-Crun Gun sprite touched up, weapon now fires slightly faster and with more flux efficiency
-Bluebottler tweaked to have more EMP and more flux efficiency, removed PD tag; now an EMP spewing assault annoyance.
-Chaser Missiles reduced damage from 1500 to 1000, missile AI now actually works.
-GMDA Hullmod loses flux and damage bonuses, gets a bit more peak performance back, and loses some hull; these ships now die very, very fast without shielding.

THE OVERHAUL UPDATE (Link Updated)

(https://i.imgur.com/xDEnmPG.png)

Spruced up the Venture and Falcon (again). Added the Kite (GM) and Hammerhead (GMHQ). And completely changed how the GMDA plays; GMDA ships now move quickly out of combat, and quickly in high-flux situations. They are also less unbalanced, less annoying, and less crazy.

Changelog
Code
-Sprite Tweaks to Falcon and Venture.
-Added Hammerhead (GMHQ) and Kite (GM).
-The systems of the Sunder (GM) and Vigilance (GM) changed to be more 'bursty'.
-GMDA fleets now tend to be smaller patrols rather than a mix of large and small fleets.
-Reduced the burn level of all destroyers to 9, increased burn speed of all destroyer-level cargo ships to 9.
-Fundamentally changed how the GMDA and GMs hullmods work
-Increased Zero-Flux speed boost.
-Above 75% flux, gain a speed boost.
-Burn Speed and general speed bonuses removed.
-Peak Operating Time is now only reduced by a quarter.
-Hull and armour penalties made less severe.
-Supply cost removed, deployment cost increased.
-Cargo and Fuel capacity drawbacks and improved maneuverability remain unchanged.


QUICK FIX

Quickly fixed the hullmod conflicts, which were revealed by Nemonaemo's recent episode.
Added Gladiator Society bounties, for shenanigans.

-Added a modular burst Lurgi Suppression Beam; Does very, very little damage, but can freeze ships in place, and cripple unshielded enemies.
-GMs ships will now occassionally show up in independant fleets.

New Update:
-Recoded the Bludnock Engines, should now work properly

GMDA is BACK for 0.9a! All across the board there have been very minor tweaks to sprites, with the biggest changes being the Onslaught (GM) and (REDACTED), but most importantly there have been two changes:

1: The main GMDA hullmod (Now Overdrive System) now grants a bonus to flux dissipation at high flux in addition to a boost in speed and movement. The passive bonus to movement has been removed, all ships have their speed tweaked to be slower than a vanilla ship without speed bonuses, and finally the overload duration has been increased. This should emphasise a more higher risk higher reward sort of playstyle.

2: A simple 'bribe' script has been implement, so if you're small and the GMDA attack, you can open the comm link to them and pay a bribe, to tell the GMDA to go away. Similar to Luddic Path. This should help prvent people getting ganked in the early game.

NOT SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE.

If I might ask, are there any plans for more elaborate interactions between the player faction and GMDA? Such as GMDA expeditions against free port colonies, degrading relations as your faction gets more powerful, or even a planetary industry that spawns defense fleets of GMDA ships at the expense of straining relations with the major factions.

As a faction GMDA has always felt like either a terrifying boogeyman you have to be wary of or an utter non-factor you never interact with.

KING ALFONZO'S COMPUTER.
BACK FROM THE DEAD.


How long is it staying? Who knows! Have an update!

Amongst the tiny changes I've made here and there, the most important ones are:

1) GMDA and GMs hullmods now provide the high flux speed boost at lower fluxes (From 75% and 85% to 65% and 75%, respectively); and

2) Wolf (GMs) and Lasher (GMs) ranges have been buffed.

Post by: King Alfonzo on June 16, 2019, 12:54:40 AM
And here's the actual update for 0.9.1a. This is mostly tweaking a lot of things, like sprites and values. A lot of the GMDA ships are now dangerous, but as aforementioned GMDA patrols can be bribed to look the other way similar to Luddic Path, mitigating problems with the early game. Due to the nature of the changes, this is somewhat kind of maybe save game compatible - use at your caution, but I think the only problem will be some weird loadout shenanigans if you fight with GMDA ships / against GMDA ships on updating. Alternatively, you can wait for 'another mod' to release before starting a new game.

LINK HERE

0.9.3
-Clarified the GMDA playstyle by breaking the hullmods into two base hullmods
   -Bludknock Engines, which gives a zero-flux speed boost while blocking the engine mods
   -Overdrive System, which explains the boosts at high flux and drawbacks to using the system
-Due to the inclusion of the Speeding Ticket system (Similar to Luddic Path), the chances of being completely ganked by GMDA fleets has been mitigated for early game fleets. Consequently, a lot of the nerfs have been removed from GMDA ships, making them more attractive.
-Standard GM Stock ships are now worse, but cheaper.
-Coloured GMs ships are now rarer and better - in the future they may be phased out completely, excluding any future ideas to make a Wolf with Terminator Drones, a Phase Lasher, or an EMP kite.
-Altered various ship stats to be more compliant with 0.9.1a.
-The Crun Gun, in addition to Fighter Elimination, is now also good at general purpose PD, while the Bluebottler gun and Modular Lurgi Suppression Beam have been slightly improved.
-The Sprites for all of the frigates (excluding the Kite), and the Sagitus duo have been reworked
-The Tarsus (GM), Tarsus (GMs) and Condor (GM) have been reworked both in sprite and function
-GMDA blueprints now have images in them.
-Descriptions have had a pass over - still might be mistakes lurking in there somwehere.[/spoiler]

A quick question to everyone who runs this mod:

Currently, I've been really thinking about whether the 'coloured' GMs ships should continue to exist in this mod (as per the changelog) and replace them with GMHQ versions of the Lasher, WOlf and Kite (Again, as per the changelog). While they might be neat and fit the 'sports car' asthetic which GMDA promoted, I feel that they don't necessarily have a large impact on gameplay (due to their rarity, and when you eventually find one you're probably not going to use them). GMHQ versions, however, can be made less rare (and more inherently ridiculous), and done in such a way that you will actively use them, even into the mid to late game.

So, to anyone who uses this mod, how attached are you to the coloured series? I would like to know your thoughts.

My 2 cents,

I haven't tried the mod post Starsector 0.9.0 release. Intend to do so in my next campaign.

I played with GMDA mod active for something like 50% of my modded 0.8.1 runs. I did not have much interaction with GMDA fleets compared to others.

The few times I have encountered those colourful GMDA Lashers and Wolves I thought they were gimmicky and did not like them. When I wanted high end frigates - flashy or not, I looked either at Cabal fleet or vanilla ships in store (and let's not dive into the tons of great original frigates available in other mods). Also in modded games we already have several Lasher and Wolf versions. The recently released Interstellar Imperium v2 has dropped it's golden Wolf, I think it's a good move.

On the other hand I find the other GMDA ships interesting both on art style and gameplay. I like both the consistency and uniqueness (compared to vanilla / other mods). In fact, I think you could loosen vanilla ties : GM Venture is not a Venture anymore, GM Falcon is not a Falcon anymore, GM Hammerhead is not a Hammerhead anymore. Those - and maybe some others - could (should?) get a name of their own, IMO. :D

Even if the mod has some roots as vanilla-tweaked content (lore reference, vanilla ships used as model), I like to think about it more like vanilla-inspired and vanilla-friendly original content, if it makes sense. Looking at it this way, to me the colourful Lashers and Wolfs feel redundant. I'm not sure about standard GM frigates, I'll test them.

there are several ships which are often used in mods with some modernisation or overhaul:

-Wolf
-Lasher
-Hammerhead
-Tarsus (there started to be many variant of Tarsus novadays)
-Dominator
-Venture
-Sunder

and several others.

I don't actually have strong feelings on a lot of GMDA colour boats because they're too rare early on and too fragile when I find them. I've bought the Green Lasher a few times because it's a pretty good shoot-and-scoot gunboat if I know dampened mounts, but most of the rest felt too OP-starved or fragile to do well in later game.

I was thinking of suggesting having them be more common and show up in more indie and pirate fleets, but making a line of powerful and desirable super/playerships might be a more interesting direction to take the mod.

What specifically does GMDA overdrive suite do? I just got this gmda hammerhead and..... it says that when my flux is high cool stuff happens.... but then I go into run simulation and.... GMDA overdrive never triggers and never seems to benefit me at all ever?

Or is gmda just bugged in simulations and I need to try it in a real battle?



edit: That said my base speed is supposed to be 75 and it's actually 80, and 80 is the default and the GMDA overdrive gives it -5... so maybe it is in fact bugged in simulations?

So, to anyone who uses this mod, how attached are you to the coloured series? I would like to know your thoughts.

I think you could honestly keep the "colour line" if you wish. Frankly I think you do  decent job spriting your own ships and redesigns of vanilla and would love to see what you could come up with on top of these colour models. Maybe you could do a little of both? Take your colour line into the super frigate category and make up your own souped up sprites.

I don't actually have strong feelings on a lot of GMDA colour boats because they're too rare early on and too fragile when I find them. I've bought the Green Lasher a few times because it's a pretty good shoot-and-scoot gunboat if I know dampened mounts, but most of the rest felt too OP-starved or fragile to do well in later game.

I was thinking of suggesting having them be more common and show up in more indie and pirate fleets, but making a line of powerful and desirable super/playerships might be a more interesting direction to take the mod.

100% agree and relate here. Most of the time I'm running destroyers instead of frigates (with the exception of super frigates) by the time I come across any decent amount of GDMA colour variants. Very rarely have I seen a gold lasher or pink wolf and never early in the game.

Bluebottler gun is the most OP gun ever put into the game.
I'm pretty sure there's a typo in the mod, it's that OP.


300damage per second 300 emp per second 50 flux per second 550 range 5OP

quite easy to aim and fire and use.

Is this a typo? What should it say instead?

I know how to edit my mod's numbers on my own, any chance you can give me a preview of what you're thinking? Sorry if that's rude to ask. I'm just having a lot of trouble with temptation right now. Doubling or tripling the flux? Turning it back into PD and reducing the range/accuracy massively but leaving it's super strong damage numbers in place? Other? Adding an ammo clip?

I think the bluebottler is now entirely useless, a lot of guns with both kinetic and emp damage are more efficient than 2.0 flux per non-emp damage efficiency... one thing that might save the bluebottler with it's exact current stats would be to make it point defense. You really can't pressure shields with such an extreme flux cost because even basic common kinetic ballistic weapons do so better.

As examples of far far better kinetic+emp guns look at say the hypervelocity driver or the magaera twin-linked railgun. I realize those are both medium's but those were just off the top of my head there are plenty that are also smalls.

Sorry if I seem to be nitpicking.

edit: more similar weapons: gallant light railgun, light rail accelerator, assault rail accelerator, ferrogun, heavy rail accelerator, lockdown hmg, zealot rail-repeater.
These are all much much much more efficent than the bluebottler now. Making the gun 12 times less efficient may have taken it from OP to underpowered.

Those Great House weapons from Tallahn's mod are intentionally better than energy and ballistics - the mod isn't finished yet but great house items are NOT vanilla balanced - they're closer to neutrino levels of power. BRDY weapons are versatile and extremely good with high projectile speeds, accuracy, and lots of bonus effects, for good flux efficiency at long ranges for their effects. Not vanilla balanced weapons. Sylphon weapons are DEFINITELY not vanilla balanced as they're by far the strongest part of that mod faction. And most DME weapons are, again, very good. You should generally mention what mod contains what gun if you're going to reference other mod's items in your balance argument, btw.

Fair points. Still the hypervelocity driver is vanilla. Yes it's a lot more OP and a larger size mount. Although yeah, soren's suggestion of 1.5 efficiency and less accuracy makes sense. The idea of "spraying" was why I suggested the weapon could also go the route of having point defense targeting if desired.

I'm aware the efficiencies of the weapons I mentioned were more powerful than vanilla, but if 1.2 is OP 2.0 is still underpowered in my opinion, something like 1.5 might strike an ideal balance.

Can someone report King Alfonzo for Necroing this thread?

Yes! After having not touched this mod for little more than a year, I've come for a minor housekeeping update for the upcoming discord tournament, and a promise that I'll do a thing or two with this mod in the future. Main change is the Overdrive system now scales with flux, and in addition to increasing rate of fire with increasing flux, the range of the weapons and decelleration decreases with increasing flux. Flying GMDA ships is now a lot more hazardous and risky, but also fairly rewarding and should be far less cancerous to play against. ALso there have been minor changes to the DP cost of the COndor (GM) and Venture (GM). The Sunder (GMHQ) has also been made 'better'.

Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic.

IT RETURNS. AGAIN!


A huge overhaul to GMDA to make things a bit more interesting. This comes with new ships, redone ships, tweaked ships, and a bunch of new features. GMDA is now a little bit more interesting, and a bit less cancerous to play against. In the future I plan on adding some new bounty-quest content, but right now I lack the code-fu, and I am waiting for the new contacts feature.

NOT SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE WITH PREVIOUS VERSION; WILL NEED A NEW GAME.

Changelog from previous version:
0.9.6
-GMDA Overhauled
    -Ships are much more powerful across the board, but are more expensive to maintain and cost more to deploy.

    -Nedwin Seagoon Security Depot - Provides GMDA fleets to your market. Requires good relations with GMDA to build.
    -Condottiere Mercenary Company - Provides a few small independant military patrols.
    -Only one can be built at a time however it is possible to cheese this at the moment.

AND WE'RE BACK.

Apologies for not coming in with this update sooner, but I wanted to try my hand at quest coding. Spoilers - I suck at it. So While I try and figure things out, I'm releasing this compatability update (that has been available as stated above). It also has a few new goodies for you to play around with, and a general buff to GMDA ships to make them scarier.

As always, NOT SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE WITH PREVIOUS VERSION; WILL NEED A NEW GAME.


Changelog from previous version:
0.9.7
-Added Buffalo (GMDA), an unshielded Missile Destroyer
-Added Cerberus (GMDA), an unholy combination of Cerberus and Shepherd
-Added Colossus (GMDA), a fragile and slow three-deck cruiser
-Added Gremlin (GMDA), an asked question: "Why?"
-Removed Kite (GMHQ), and instead gave the EMP arc emitter to the Kite (GM)
-Added Bluebottler Cannon, a generous medium ballistic, kinetic/EMP weapon
-Added Crun Cannon, possibly a premier ballistic PD weapon.
-(GMs) hulls are now white, and their spawning in Independant fleets has been greatly reduced
-Minor Changes to weapon and ship sprites
-Tried to implement a one-off basic bar mission and failed miserably

0.9.7a
-Added Pirhana (GM), now with breach (SRMs)
-Added Talon (GM), faster and more suppressive, but unbelievable fragile
-Fixed the Lasher (GMHQ)'s phase cloak
-Fixed several spelling mistakes
-Lightly fiddled with several weapons to be more balanced.
-GMDA Overdriver now also adds up to 25% damage to ballistic and energy weapons at high flux.

Whoops, yes, but I'm too far ahead in the dev version to roll back and change the base coding. This will be fixed in the upcoming 0.9.8 version.

IIRC they are built quickly and are not affected by your ship quality. Which means you get a decent defenders quickly (you can potentially finish construction before expedition arrives) and early game - provided you have money to pay them. You are not really supposed to rely on them in long term.

Quite cool Cabal-like enemy faction, which like Cabals try to rob you, and if you refuse they attack, funny enough this makes them and Cabal look more like pirate faction more than pirates itself, which if amusing considering their "police" appearance, and quite interesting visual style, good as any King Alfonzo mod.

Although they have one annoying thing, they can just annihilate your reputation with Independents if they decided to rob you near independent planet or fleet, since they are friends with Indies, they aid them in battle against you, and game counts that like you just attacked Independents, its not that bad when you have transponder off, you get -5 rep with indies, but if you was unlucky to have turned on transponder, Indies become immediately hostile, rep goes straight to -50 hostile. Which is strange, because you got ruined relationship with Independents for just defending yourself from piracy action.

As for suggestion to fix this, I think is good fix for this is just make Independents not join GMDA fleets against player.

I drop into Ancyra, find a G&M fleet assaulting Ancyra station.

I go visit Kassadar, way the hell out in the middle of nowhere, supposedly totally isolated from core world politics - G&M squadron is camping the jump point and tries to extort me.

I'm an independent, with high relationship to independents, flying near an independent world with a station.  G&M tries to extort me and the independent station joins them.  When I tell G&M to *** off, all the independents everywhere are suddenly hostile to me.

I don't understand what exactly this mod is supposed to add to the game.  All it does is add extra hassle in blasting extortionists in the face, without ever being able to permanently put them out of business.  And also makes the player start treating the independents exactly the same as the pirates - or even treat the pirates better than the independents.  Pirates at least will leave you alone once you get good rep with them.

I really like HMI, but this one is getting uninstalled as soon as I'm done typing this.

this is my main problem with this mod. im assuming its just vanilla behavior (GMDA being 'allies' to the independents) but it really isn't fun. makes it hard to tolerate playing with GMDA despite it being a very high quality and enjoyable mod otherwise.

Not sure if this is intended behavior so figured it's worth posting about.

I've been getting the periodic "donate to us" stop-and-frisks from GMDA fleets and turning them down, no big deal. I'm at bad relations but not openly hostile. I just got stopped by another fleet, turned the captain down again. That put my rep with them to -36. I now can't disengage from them because my fleet is too large, but if I move to engage I get a warning saying that I've been identified and I'll be initiating hostilities.

Seems to me that -36 shouldn't be auto-forcing combat, or that since they're forcing the combat I shouldn't be considered the 'aggressor'. I get that I have a big fleet so I can't disengage from an open combat, but if they're forcing an engagement I shouldn't be the one that's taking the hit for initiating the combat.

Come out of hyperspace near an indie planet with some patrols.  One of them is GMDA.  It zooms at me, demands money, the usual.  I blow it out of the sky, except for a Dram.  Dram runs away.  I move toward the planet and station.  Dram makes another suicide run at me, except this time the indie patrols join it.  And the starbase.  I blow them all out of the sky.  I am now hostile to independents.

Fix this absolutely ridiculous crap.

Edit:

Okay, now that I'm less steamed, I can sorta see it as justified.  GMDA is acting as the local enforcers for indie worlds, the money payment is local corruption / tariffs / bribes etc, the "real" indie patrols aren't necessarily coordinated or coherent enough to back them up out at the jump point but when GMDA calls on local authority right there on the spot, they join in, and if you don't go along with it well you're just a dirty lawbreaker, aren't you.

I can see it.

It's still absolutely infurating. 

Because on the other hand, the player is thinking: here's this mercenary force, trying to shove me, a <insert faction here>-commissioned captain, around.  Who do they think they are?  And then these pipsqueak mercenaries somehow get ALL INDEPENDENTS EVERYWHERE to throw away their perfectly good relations with the faction on the basis of an extremely slanted version of events.

It could work as part of a Kafkaesque space opera.  Maybe.

It's infuriating.

What is even more funny here, this GMDA behaviour problem is not really Alfonzo's fault to begin with. As their transponder disguise thing is based on Starlight Cabal behaviour from Underworld in first place. It's just that Cabal right now is much less aggressive than GMDA, despite having much more dangerous fleets to compare. You can also easily become neutral with Cabal using bar events and story points too.

There is one critical difference between cabal and GMDA:

GMDA has (i think, it's been a while since i last played the mod) max reputation with indies, meanwhile, TSC are only slightly above neutral with Try-Tachion, as in, enough so that they don't target TT but not enough so that TT will join them in a fight.

So, from this standpoint, yes, it is kind of Alfonzo's fault. But it's not really as big of a deal as the other guy is making it out to be.

Just exterminate them, they r not exactly difficult to wipe out, even the larger fleet as long as you got decent destroyers in your own fleet...

My bigger problem with them is that they are basically the 2nd pirates (like they don't really act like a militia or law enforcement, they basically are pirates) and thus they are essentially hostile to me and even if they did not at the start, I exterminate them on sight because if I don't they waste my time because they would pick a fight with EVERYONE like a pirate, including the factions I am hostile against.

And because of that I am often forced to SIT and watch they fight the hostile faction fleet I wanted to kill, because I can't intervene in the fight (I wish I can just enter the fight and kill them both but I digress)
Either way, I basically have to just idle, waiting doing nothing while they SLOWLY slap each other a few ship at a time.

Which sometimes takes ... a while.

But some of the ships designs are kinda cool, so I kinda wanna keep the mod for now...
So kill on sight it is.. exterminate every single one of their fleet that I see, because it's going to be faster to just make sure every ship with their name on it is wiped out immediately.

All right, as promised in PMs, I checked the descriptions.csv for typos.  I caught a total of three misspellings and probably a dozen misplaced apostrophes.  Now the forum won't let me attach a .csv file, so I just changed the filetype to .txt.  Looking forward to whenever you get these obnoxious jerks updated for .96 so I can have my death support systems and wish.com Gravity Hammers.

I'll go into a little more detail in the Covenant topic (and you should really have all of your mods in your signature, I didn't know your Luddic mod existed until yesterday), but I had said in PMs that your mods have a long way to go to be vanilla balanced, but vanilla balance has changed substantially since I said that.  Now that we have High Explosive Mining Blasters, Kinetic Blasters, and IR Pulse Lances to give Energy weapons their choice of damage types, the King Alfonzo mod suite no longer breaks vanilla balance in half, it just maybe bends it a little bit.  Of course, I'll need to actually play the .96 version of your mods before I can give my final feedback.

I wish this faction had something like a commission system, but instead of giving you money, you pay them to ignore you/assist if you are friendly enough. This commission would also remove the fee for shopping gmda ships, and would prevent you from taking a commission from any other faction. Something like this would help you roleplay as a independent backer if you already have a faction, or a independent bounty hunter in the eyes of gmda. Thanks!

Sure, go for it. Most of it is based on the Lion's Guard and Military base codes with some tweaks for the Luddic Path Fleet codes.

How to deactivate this mod in an existing save without crashing?

You can't unfortunately.

I have heard numerous complaints about GMDA, and be assured I am thinking deeply on how to make them work. Heck, even I have stopped activating the mod when I play.
Right now they're too irritating to fight against and not really 'fun'. I'll be updating the mod here for 0.97a as is, but I am entertaining ideas on how to adjust their behaviour, or maybe even overhauling them into something else completely.

Grytpype and Moriarty Defence Authority 0.9.9h

running into an odd issue where I seem to have two different reputation towards the GMDA, on my factions screen they are listed as neutral, -1 at the moment and some dialogue interaction modify this, while some patrols are openly hostile to me with a reputation of -78.
I was also warned that I should resign my commission to avoid their ire but I do not have a commission with any faction.

I seem to be having the same problem. It tells me neutral (0) but their fleets attack me and in the attack screen they show as -75. This is a new game, have never fought them before and I am not part of any faction.

I am also having this problem, I came here hoping to find some sort of explanation. Space cops keep harassing me!

There is more than one GMDA faction. One of them is the "normal" one that patrols a colony area (independents). The other(s) are the aggressive ones, that will attack other factions (and the player), and demand payment for crimes, as chance permits. The 'feral' GMDA will always be hostile as far as I have seen.
