Modding / [0.97a] Aegis Combat System v0.2.0
« on: December 26, 2022, 08:19:14 PM »
Aegis Combat System
Require LazyLib and MagicLib


Still using flak against missiles? MAGIC MUST DEFEAT MAGIC.gif! Here comes a weapon mod introducing area defense missiles that behave like the RIMs with the coordination under the Aegis Combat System of the US Navy instead of mindlessly wasting missiles around.

The original plan is to make a modern naval mod but I don't have the skill to make ship sprites so I release it as a weapon mod. The point is to share the idea of area defense missiles for Starsector so if you're a modder feel free to build your own stuff with my ai script.

Features:

  • Aegis Combat System hullmod (RIM won't work without it) and Radar Intercept Missiles.
  • Custom weapon and missile AI script to recreate the Aegis Combat System.
  • Killing one track with one bird. No more salvoing missiles even when there's only one incoming missile.
  • Layered area defense with SM3, SM6 and ESSM.
  • Intercept artillery shell with C-Dome.
  • Bonus: Stealthy AGM-158C LARSM and datalink guided BGM-109 Block Va.

Changelog:
Spoiler
Version update v0.2.0
Update for Starsector 0.97a
Add C-Dome for intercepting artillery shells (projectile with >150 damage fired towards your ship)
Add BGM-109 Block Va datalink guided (your mouse cursor) cruise missile
Add contrail effect to missiles
New weapons sprites (Credit to Bloodbath)
Stats rework, especially on reload

Patch update v0.1.4
Fix intercept missiles of the same type may target the same incoming missile

Missiles will only be targeted by one missile from the same ship regardless of intercept missile type but still can be targeted by intercept missiles from different ships.

Increase missile manoeuvrability (expect SM-3 as I plan to make it into two phases, the first phase has lower acceleration, second has higher).

Adjust the minimum fire distance of intercept missiles if no other type of intercept missile with a shorter range on the ship, the minimum fire distance will reduce. For example, the minimum fire distance of SM-3 is 1300 if the ship is equipped with SM-6 and ESSM, 600 if there is ESSM only, 200 when there is no SM-6 and ESSM.

Patch v0.1.3
Update to Starsector 0.96 compatible.

Patch v0.1.2
Remove the unused mod dependence for hullmod which is causing the crash.

Patch v0.1.1
Fix Logger not found CTD for some players.
Minor stats/balance change

Release v0.1.0

Modding / Star Wars Reboot?
« on: August 14, 2020, 07:16:38 PM »
I love Starsector and also a big fan of Star Wars. I just feel these two IP will fit together nicely, hyperspace, space combat etc. However Star Wars mods for this game are long dead since... 2013? I wonder why no one reboot SW mod so I can only make one for myself. So I just wanna ask is there any existing SW mod that support 0.9.1a and is Star Wars mod still a thing if a new one is released now?
