Title: [0.95a] MHP - Midline ships focusing on Hardpoints
Post by: Gaaius on June 01, 2021, 01:30:07 PM

This mod (currently) features 4 Frigates and 3 Destroyers build around front-facing hardpoints.
All of the Ships are Armour based, have very ineficient shields and primarily ballistic weaponslots.
The sprites are (mostly) kit-bashed from vanilla sprites.

The Ships:

All the ships can be build if the appropriate blueprint package is found and they have small chances to spawn in Independent, Syndrian and Persian fleets.
This mod adds a mission to test the ships before including the mod in your current game.

Isn't heavy armor focus lowtech?

Technically yes, however, low tech also tends to have poor flux stats low speed low maneuverability and a LOT of weapons (and generally extra space for missiles too, in many cases)

These ships seem to focus on hard points and speed and maneuverability, with a balance between ballistics and missiles: all hallmarks of midline.
