I have a problem with my longboi where the game try to show all modules, but it ends up with the portrait looking horrible instead, is there a way to force the game to focus the portrait on the central module only?


2
Drones spawned from modules (using the station drone system) cause the main ship to evade them if they have ship (not fighter) collision, and since the drone follows the ship in formation the ship keeps trying to dodge the drone forever even though the drone does not actually collide with the ship (seems like the AI doesn`t understand that)

You can see this behavior in my ships Retriever, Beauceron and Beauceron pirate in version 1.9.4 of my mod
http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=16479.0

I will change the collision of my drones to FIGHTER until this bug is fixed starting in next version.

There is now a submarket in Nova Maxios that sell the ships, if you have Nex there will also be one in the Freeport.

ED Shipyards is a private Independent aerospace manufacturer and space transportation services company. It was founded after the collapse of the Domain's rule by Eron Dust, an eccentric celebrity billionaire with the goal of developing new spaceship technologies. Despite having dealings with Tri-Tachyon and the Persean League Eron Dust operates his business only in Independent worlds where most of the unique ED Shipyard designs can be found.

While the company is suspected of using artificial intelligence technology no illegal activity was ever discovered by Hegemony inspections. The company is also accused of stealing blueprints and violating copyright law, but none of the accusations held in court due to lack of evidence.

I aim to make these ships balanced, this is not supposed to be an "OP ships" pack, these ships are supposed to fill roles that may not exist in vanilla ships and some are very specialized, the way i balance my ships is not by making all their stats and features average, but by giving them as many strong flaws as they have strong points, feedback is welcome.

Is there an option i missed or a setting somewhere that i can use to tell my fleet to "STAY STILL AND STOP DANCING IN FRONT OF EACH OTHER, WHILE COLLIDING AND SPINNING YOUR HUGE ASS HULLS FACING YOUR GUNS IN THE WRONG DIRECTION YOU GOD DAMN IDIOTS"?
The AI is pretty decent in 1v1... most of the time, but amazingly bad for fleet coordination and as you can see i got quite worked up about it recently...
Rigid formations where all ships move together in perfect sync would also be amazing, is there a mod for it?

Do pirates target you with sector raids that make your colonies unstable if you are friendly or better with them?
Using Nexerelin by the way, not sure if the mod changes this behavior.

Suggestions / Threat level for harder endgame
« on: August 19, 2019, 12:31:23 PM »
The game becomes too easy after you have a good colony or two, with unlimited income and a strong fleet there is no danger anymore, winning becomes a simple factor of time, and at least for me, it becomes too boring, i always restart after taking down a faction or two.

So, what if there was a player threat level, every great deed like successfully invading a large world, betraying a faction or expanding colonies too fast would raise your threat level, this would amplify all rep loss with other factions and make them send bigger fleets after your colonies instead of sending sad little scraps that get obliterated in orbit every time, also enemies joining in alliances against you would become more common, after all a nobody who in less than 3 years forms a faction and destroys the hegemony would be a danger to the whole system.

Obviously there are people who enjoy taking their time and playing slowly. This could be an option you set when starting the game.

General Discussion / Granting Independence to colonies?
« on: August 13, 2019, 11:47:34 AM »
i remember reading something about being able to do this, but i can't see any option for it ingame, is there a mod that lets you turn colonies into Independent colonies or is there a way to do so ingame?
I want to do a playthrough where i invade every faction and free their colonies (no matter if they want to be free or not)

Suggestions / AI cores as ship officers
« on: August 07, 2019, 08:07:07 PM »
What if we had an option to use AI Cores in ships just like we can do in colonies?

The AI cores would have every skill that affects piloted ship (same as officers) at the level corresponding to their rarity

Gamma AI core: lv1
Beta AI core: lv2
Alpha AI core: lv3

Off course there would be drawbacks, Hegemony, the Church and other anti-AI factions would be able to detect the cores while scanning your ships, also using the cores automatically would raise suspicion over time as you remain in the sector, if detected the patrol would demand the whole ship to be handed over to be destroyed and would occur loss of reputation

Spoiler
But wait, there is more

Using An Alpha AI would be particularly dangerous in three ways:

-First the AI core sense of self-preservation would trump your orders during combat, causing the ship to fall back, act timid or even automatically retreat if threatened
-The second case of possible betrayal would be when you are ambushed by a much stronger fleet (5 stars+) the AI ship would split away from your fleet before the combat and become a Rogue Remnant Fleet, and it would travel to the nearest Remnant system
-The worst case would be if you had more than half of your fleet controlled by AI and you have at least one Alpha AI equipped, there would be a small chance while travelling through deep hyperspace or when you are alone in a sector that the Alpha AI would take over all other AI cores and throw a mutiny, splitting your fleet into human controlled and AI controlled, the AI would thank you for the wonderful ships and leave to become a Rogue Remnant Fleet, you would have a chance of engaging and destroying the fleet during the dialog, but every ship would have a Faulty Rogue AI Damage mod in it if recovered.

General Discussion / Creating a colony while commissioned
« on: August 07, 2019, 08:07:45 AM »
If i create a colony (which starts my own faction) does the colony belongs to the faction commissioning me or it is mine even after resigning the commission?
Also is there a chance the faction i work for will come help me defend my colony in case of attack from enemy factions?

General Discussion / Can you set up secondary fleets under your command?
« on: August 06, 2019, 03:07:26 PM »
Is there a way (be it vanilla or through mod) to create new fleets controlled by an Officer or something and follow your orders? Like creating a merchant fleet and ordering them to buy/sell in a specific route, or creating a mining/salvage fleet that automatically mines a sector for you?

I only know that you can create patrols after you make a colony, but are those military only?
