I really don't like the Takeshido stuff in the mod. Is there any way to just have the Epta faction?
Takeshido will stay, but I want to ask, how I could make your experience better with it? Reducing spawn rates or something like that?
It's primarily my play style as to why i don't like the takeshido stuff. They just feel "off" in regards to how I like my mods, in my modded play through the Epta faction fits right in with all my other mods but the system with the takeshido planets just feels weird and also very hard to enter since all the planets are right beside each other, maybe consider spreading the planets out a bit more so that it's easier to get to each one with getting ganged on by dozens of pirate fleets.
In regards to the ships themselves I do feel that the spawnrate could be dropped a little bit, I have seen some pirate fleets with almost nothing but takeshido in them however they don't seem that common. Another thing to note is that the AI seems to struggle with some of the ships, blatantly throwing away their ships right at the start of the battle when they use the intercept burn ability which since some of the ships (I went and checked and the dire rise is the main culprit) have no shields means that they instantly die to a hail of missiles from my ships while also occasionally taking out a ship of mine in doing so, which just isn't that fun to experience. One last ship that I will single out is the 400ish speed phase ship which I find completely unfun to fight against due to it being impossible to kill unless the AI makes a mistake (although it's interdiction ability is kinda a cool thing if it were balanced).
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the Epta faction itself. The unique lore plays off well with the Hegemony and Luddic factions and the styling of the ships is absolutely beautiful. The ships and the abilities feel unique while still feeling balanced to the vanilla ships. If I have to tolerate the takeshido stuff to play with the Epta faction I can do that. Keep up the good work!
