Overclocked Targeting Processor - non-missile weapons get 10% fire rate and 30% target-leading accuracy and ship combat vision radius is doubled, but flux dissipation is reduced by 10% and overloads last 25% longer
-
High-Performance Missile Propellant - missiles get 50% speed, 100% acceleration and 200 extra range, but their turn rate and turn acceleration are reduced by 30% and their durability cut by 50%

Ship Preview:
Spoiler
Low-Tech Ships:Midline Ships:High-Tech Ships:[REDACTED] Ships: Notes:
- The midline ships are available to
Independents,
Mercenaries,
Persean League,
Sindrian Diktat (except Carnage) and all factions that know
midline_bp blueprint package
- The high-tech ships are available to
Independents,
Mercenaries,
Tri-Tachyon (except Eventide) and all factions that know the
hightech_bp blueprint package
- The low-tech ships are available to
Independents,
Mercenaries,
Luddic Church,
Hegemony (only faction with Sepulcher) and all factions that know the
lowtech_bp blueprint package
-
[REDACTED] will use the Pulsar
- Sepulcher is probably unbalanced in heavily-modded runs; if you wish to remove it from AI factions, navigate to
MissileShipOverhaul\data\hulls\ship_data.csv and delete
lowtech_bp and
hegemony from the
Tags column in Sepulcher's row (probably doesn't work in existing saves since factions can't forget blueprints iirc)
- Pillager has
Orion Drive system that uses a custom pusher plate sprite
- Hullmods are not included in the
mod_package_missileships blueprint package, but have to be found separately (as of 1.0.7)
- You can find the blueprint for these ships while exploring (e.g. research stations, tech mining)
- If you want to spawn the blueprint and have the "Console Commands" mod, type:
addspecial mod_package_missileships- Balance-wise, these ships are either A-tier or S-tier in the player's hands
- The AI doesn't use all missile equally well; it doesn't spam sabots as much as it should, sometimes isn't aggressive enough to use torpedoes properly and likes to waste half its harpoons on frigates that can dodge most of them (although it's very good with harpoons against cruisers/capital ships) so the missiles you use matter
