0.4.2c hotfix:
Fixed a certain monochrome illustration that looked kinda cursed ingame and almost made me have a stroke because the program I use to edit sprites and illustrations decided to save it in 8bits.
0.4.2b hotfix: The same issue with Persean League also happened to Sindrian Diktat and Lion's Guard (sorry about that).
Delete <st>SunriderPactBattleship</st> on Sindrian Diktat and Lion's Guard priority ship doctrines in your save file for the fix.
Reminder: No action needs to be taken if starting a new save.
0.4.2 changelog:
Fixed Persean League using no capitals other than Machiavelli.
For it to take effect on an ongoing save, update the mod, edit your save file and find this:
<priorityShips z="19571">
<st>SunriderAllianceBattleship</st>
</priorityShips>
delete the middle line and make it look like this:
<priorityShips z="19571"></priorityShips>
If another mod adds more ships to this priority list, delete only the <st>SunriderAllianceBattleship</st> line.
Added effects to Sunrider's Mother skill:
Normal: -25% monthly supply cost to piloted ship if it's from sunrider universe (-5% total due to Fallen Outsider hullmod penalty);
Elite: same as above, but only for Sunrider itself (-15,555.....% total due to stacking with the above effect, Fallen Outsider and Advanced Ceran Engineering hullmods' penalties).
0.4.1 Changelog (compatible with both .95 and .96 versions of the game). Safe to update midsave from 0.4.0, but hullmods that are no longer built-in may overflow the ship's OP on existing saves.
"Fallen Outsider" hullmod will now replace solar shielding and resistant flux conduits on ALL ships and wings added by this mod.
+40% resistance to solar coronas and hyperspace storms;

+20% overload duration;
+25% monthly supply cost;
"Ryder Resilience" will be added to all wings.
+50% weapon and engine durability
+40% weapon and engine repair speed

0.4 Changelog
Added crossmod interaction with PAGSM (https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=24215.0): if you have at least 30 reputation with Yunris Kween, Origins can be completed through her at the cost of 1 gamma core. If she has given you the Iapetus 20000, she'll do it for free.
New quest: "Nightmare Breakdown", can trigger on any market 40 days after First Arrival is completed. No objectives, or anything to do; you simply talk to Ava about the enemies encountered in First Arrival.
Sunrider spawn distance reduced from 25-40 to 20-30 ly;
Delay between First Arrival's end and Origins' start increased from 45 to 120 days; Origins does not require Nightmare Breakdown to have occurred, and both can be active simultaneously.
New quest: "Son of Iniquity", has a battle harder than First Arrival, delay from Origins is 30 days, will end in the same market it started, regardless of the faction and is a big *ss example of what VNSector means.

New weapon: Gray Stinger. PD weapon similar to LDMG.
Ava Crescentia:
Several (but not all) frames of dialogues now have an illustration of her instead of the portrait (but I'm 10/10 sad that there's no facepalm sprite in Liberation Day);

0.2.2 Changelog (safe to update midsave):
Veniczar Battleship: DP cost increased from 50 to 60 and maneuverability slightly reduced.
Machiavelli Battleship: DP reverted to 60.
Agatha Christie logistic stats tweaked. You'll probably see a lot of them being used by Persean League's and Tri-Tachyon's Mercanilite Convoys.

PACT Quantum Rocket: Description and sprite changed, improved tracking, health increased, ammo capacity increased from 2 to 3, fires every 25 seconds (was 30) and recharges once every 73 seconds (was 90), and damage reduced from 3500 to 3000.

All Savior weapons volume lowered.

Changelog 0.2.1: PACT Elite Laser range halved (bruh I didn't see that High Scatter Amplifier doesn't reduce range on fighter beam weapons, what the heck!);
Machiavelli and Veniczar DP cost reduced by 5;
Guppy and Agatha Christie DP cost reduced by 2;
Slight text change on First Arrival start.
Removed omega from Shikire Cruiser (Thanks to Underdrown and Arashu for the report) - for this specific fix to take effect in an ongoing save, VERY CAREFULLY remove any
<st>SunriderRyuvianCruiser</st> lines from your save file after updating the mod.
Now has integration with Laroustine's Custom Battle Music mod.
0.2 Changelog:
Spoiler
Sickbay dialogue drastically changed......
(Maybe for now) vanilla factions will rarely use and sell PACT and Solar Alliance ships and weapons so you can fight, recover or buy then play with them, but for SR storyline, everyone will act as if they don't exist here;
Vanilla factions will also have access to a few more weapons and hullmods;
New feature involving Ava Crescentia, but you probably don't want to trigger it (some people probably won't care, some will never see it :P :P :P);
New quest that rewards a powerful large ballistic weapon blueprint: Evolved Ceran Saviors.`
Sunrider ship: Increased derelict spawn distance to 25-30LY;
Sprite is significantly smaller;
several changes to weapon mounts;
Hull integrity reduced from 24000 to 20000;
Armor rating reduced from 2000 to 1600;
Vanguard Cannon flux cost increased from 7500 to 8000;

Short Range Warp cooldown increased from 40 to 60 seconds and teleporting time halved;
Now shares a built-in missile weapon with PACT Battleship.
Most non-missile weapons in all Ryders have a sprite, angle and turn rate. As a result, all of their hitboxes were reduced (this excludes Seraphim);
Weapons from Ryders with shields no longer require flux to fire.
Ryuvian Bosses: Tweaked multiple stats, but still the same difficulty overall.
Several tweaks to all of Sunrider's built-in wings.
0.1.3 Changelog:
Sunrider ship: A notable change to the sprite, improving its depth perspetive, by Sincronic;
Skeleton and maximum crew reduced by 20;
Cargo capacity increased from 250 to 300
Vanguard Cannon: Does not deal damage to friendly ships anymore (the projectile will pass through them harmlessly)
Increased damage from 4000 to 5000;
Increased flux cost from 6500 to 7500;
Increased cooldown from 18 to 24 seconds.
Seraphim: Removed shield (really, the fighter can hit like a truck now);
Reverted role to support;
Awaken shipsystem is now fully functional and added back to the fighter. Doubles projectile speed, range and damage per hit for Seraphim's gun;
Seraphim's gun: cooldown reverted from 5 to 6 seconds.
0.1.2:
Fixed some more typos (I'm brazilian... that's the only excuse I have to tell you why it's never going to be perfect!);
Slightly changed dialogue with Ava Crescentia;
Removed some unecessary junk from files;
Ava Crescentia no longer appears in Luddic Path markets.
Sunrider ship: ballistic, beam and hybrid base variants added to autofit;
Now has Operations Center hullmod built-in (if you happen to have built it in for any reason, that's a lost S-mod slot. Sorry);
Vanguard Cannon sound effect doesn't destroy your ears anymore.
Bianca's Shotgun: Reduced damage per shot from 270 to 120, removed flux cost;
Phoenix: Changed role to interceptor and added Integrated Point-Defense AI hullmod;
Seraphim: Changed role to escort;
Removed Awaken shipsystem because unfortunately, the fighter refuses to use it (and I'm pretty sure it's not because the pilot is someone other than Sola. Black Jack can activate her Awaken... erm, I mean Temporal Shell just fine). Replacing it for High Energy Focus didn't help;
Seraphim's gun cooldown reduced from 6 to 5 seconds.
0.1.1
General:
