Title: [0.95a] Controllable Domain Mothership
Post by: Biohazard041 on April 10, 2021, 10:33:29 AM
Adds in a custom ship that mimics the Domain Mothership.
Ship is not automated, and needs crew and human captain/officer.
Currently it is only available via console command and/or blueprint.

(No dependencies needed, I think.)

Positives-
Incredible amount of hull integrity, and great armor.
Targeting Supercomputer built in. (Increases ballistic and energy weapons range by 250%, however Point Defense only gets a 60% bonus)
8 Fighter bays

Negatives-
Only 4 medium weapons for it's size (2 energy, 2 ballistic), and 12 small energy weapon slots.
Abysmal Turn speed
Top speed of 28
Massive
No shields

Overall,
S-Tier tanking, potential PD capability, and fighter bay amount,
F-Tier *** for everything else.

I got most of the numbers from adding the mothership and all of the attachments together and accounting for the guidelines, so let me know if bits are too OP or anything.

First mod, feedback greatly appreciated. Again, let me know about anything.

Do you think it would be possible to turn an actual station into a ship and move a colony around? While keeping its functions as a station but be able to add it to a fleet and move it around wherever?

I think it's possible to turn a station into a ship, but I don't think functionality would be kept. If a station was in your fleet, how would you interact with it to enter it? normally you'd have to land on it, but how can you land on something in your fleet?

Yea, maybe. I don't know much on how stations are handled ingame, so I can't really say.

well in theory, it could be easy i think since console command does something like this.
If you type storage, it open the abandoned terraforming station anywhere you are.

Now, the problem would be the balance and being able to leave it around a planet to exploit.

I don't usually have carriers, so let me know if 8 fighter bays is way too much. It just makes sense to me since it's so massive, it would have the space for them.

Nice would be nice to have the old girl in Hegemony, Church and Pirate Colors as well.

It could be a good idea to also have salvage gantry since the mothership was created to be self-sufficient for thousand of year and create probe.

I seem to have missed the bit of it being something that needs console command spawned in and I feel a tad dumb for only now noticing. Either way I feel that perhaps making it also have a chance as spawning in as a random Derelict would be a nice help along.

It's just a thought with the only flavor lore I can think of off the top of my head being a "A redesign of the Domain Mothership that would take on a crew rather than being purely automated, the vessel seems entirely abandoned for unknown reason's." and probably have a few D mods to make it not a broken as could be fine spawn ontop of it as well.

I would like to make it obtainable by methods other than spawning it in, but I don't know how to code it being obtainable via salvaging the Domain Mothership in Starsector.
I'll eventually look in the modding help guides and find out how, but for now you'll have to spawn it in.

I think a good idea would be to make it something you can find in salvage, or more accurately, give it a small percent chance (thinking like painfully small like 1% to 2%) per searching either an orbital habitat or research station. This would also include making it a blueprint. As I can tell, the domain mothership in this mod ends up being it's own ship all together and should be treated as such. Think of giving it it's own class name and specification (the later you already did) under the concept that this version of the mothership was controlled by actual crew that used cryosleep to operate. After that it would end up docking at research stations to resupply, as well as giving it it's own name and classifications and you have yourself a controllable domain mothership, that is vanilla friendly. Obviously this can be harder than I would expect but it's better in my opinion to attempt to simply make it an independant ship apart from the regular domain motherships and coding in some normal derelict spawn chances, kind of like finding random paragons and onslaughts, or pulling them from a station that would have one docked.

that could be real cool as a sort of themed playthrough

Your character manages to get a Domain ship and in turn the REDACTED stop attacking you, even let you dock at stations to repair/get supplies/fuel and weapons, but the catch is you have to buy thoses with materials instead of credits

MAN would that be a riot to just go on a huge tear and rip the sector apart
