You have to download these mods if you want this mod to work.

Info
Very simple mod that adds extra challenge to your campaign. Boss ships from SWP Arcade and also few unique ships with special abilities may drop from new HVBs. This mod aims to give you challenge so expect overpowered ships.
Currently they appear when you reach level requirement and you have to destroy HVB that spawned to make other HVBs spawn. First boss bounty appears at Level 20. They might not spawn instantly so you don't have to panic.

Future Plans

Spoiler

Add more high value bounty
Add more unique ships
Add unique weapons
Make Crystalline entities exploration content
Add space-creature bosses similar to Crystallines
Add more exploration content (though i need to figure out how to do that first)

[close]

Post by: e on September 03, 2020, 01:53:29 PM

I'd like to request a version which only uses:
-Vayra Sector
-Vayra Ships
-Ship/Weapon Pack

As i don't really use the other two.

Post by: Titann on September 03, 2020, 02:05:36 PM

i can create a simplified version but it will also affect unique ships and some weapons because they use scripts from other mods. I'll try to get permission from modders to copy-paste their scripts/ships without changing anything so then this mod not going to force you to install other mods.

edit: Of course modders usually dont let anyone to copy paste stuff so I might make simplified version that going to have less content but will work with Vayra and SWP only

While you're at it, do you think it's possible for you to fix the glitch Vayra's currently has where HVBs are not guaranteed to drop?

Maybe it would be best to ask Vayra directly:

I can't say I'm a fan of what you did to the Dun Scaith sprite, but eh, I stand by my use of CC license for my mods and you did ask me at least. You should really check out Tartiflette's paintjob tutorial cause that DS skin makes me sad.

yeah well don't worry about it. I decided to remove other mods that needed to run this mod. Currently it will require SWP and Vayra's sector. I removed the assets i used from other mods but except swp and vayra sector.

edit: Updated the mod let me know if there is a problem
edit2: if you already used this mod on your campaign, new update might destroy the save so becarefull

I don't like those skins. Here. -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_nOcFjMNKiTFISA-6mCAhVelP5owdImh/view?usp=sharing

Used HSV adjustment to make some quick cleaner ones. Original sprites aren't mine obviously, just recolors, since you already got permission, feel free to use these recolors if you like them better. Those metallically sprites hurt my eyes.

Hope this helps.

Edit: My bad, had it set to private. Should work now, thanks @Connortron7 for pointing that out.

How long should it take for these bounties to appear? I've gone about a cycle without any of them.

Title: Re: [0.9.1a] HIGH VALUE BOUNTY PLUS 1.0.5
Post by: Titann on September 14, 2020, 12:52:28 AM

they appear if you reach character level. First boss bounty appears at level 20. It is random after you reach level

ill rework that later sometimes they appear very early preventing other HVBs to show up. You need late game fleets to beat them

edit: if you already have other HVBs waiting for you. You need to clear them i think they limited HVBs to 3 so if there is 3 HVB waiting, you have to destroy them then other HVB will show up

Title: Re: [0.9.1a] HIGH VALUE BOUNTY PLUS 1.0.5
Post by: Titann on October 01, 2020, 01:58:09 PM

update 1.0.6

+changed HVB spawns now they spawn after you destroy a boss HVB
First spawn is always Oberon -> Ezekiel -> Crystal -> Ultron -> Zeus -> Zero -> Super Zero
+Ship sprites now look better than before (atleast, sorry i dont know how to make sprite)


should be save compatible

this update will prevent HVB to spawn more than 1 in your early game so it should be ok now.

this is kind of a late fix, sorry that i ve been busy with RL. Im not sure when ill continue adding new HVBs but ill try to update the mod if something big happens

Post by: Dreamslayer on December 02, 2020, 12:52:03 AM

Hi!

I was wondering, is it the Oberon Alien Battlecruiser  supposed to be capturable or ?
In my current save I have been unable to capture it, I have a save with only that ship left in the enemy fleet. And no matter how many times i try to kill it and capture it I never get the option even tho it says its just disabled and not destroyed.

Thanks for a great mod.

Boss ships are not capturable it is also not up to me i cant make them capturable because boss ships arent mine
They are also too strong in player hands and will make game very easy so if you dont want to have broken op ship it should stay like this.

I ve added unique ship skins for these HVBs so you can try to get them its possible to recover new ship skins that got special ship system and improved stats as reward.

You may want to message Titann direct but this mod relies on Dark Revenant updating Ship/Weapon Pack and Vayra updating her sector (idk may work with the unofficial patch).
