Mods / Re: [0.95.1a] Seeker - Unidentified Contact 0.53rc1 (2023/02/27)

Yes this bug has been reported a few times. I have not a single hint of a clue why it is happening, and why it only seems to affect Cataclysm when the other bosses are mechanically identical. I don't know if it is some weird mod interaction of some odd convergence of issues.

If you see the ship having a big hole in its armor display as it jumps in, just reload the battle, there's no killing that ship.

Very late "hotfix" available for the campaign Scyan fleet effect not being removed properly.

This long delayed update of Unknown Skies offers an all-reworked, vastly expanded selection of backgrounds, as well as some tweaks to the special planetary conditions.

• The main event are the new backgrounds: 69 new system backdrops (nice), some reworked from the previous 27, but most entirely new. They are more consistent in quality, often darker and softer as to not be a distraction in combat.
• Some of the rarer planet types and conditions have been made unique with reworked/amplified effects. These include Artificial, Magnetic and Perpetual Storm planets, Parasitic Spores, Xeno-fungus and Lingering Virus conditions.
• One new uncommon condition has been added: Chemical Crystals can show up on toxic worlds, improving the Luxury Goods production. Now these usually undesirable planets can have at least something going for them.
• Other miscellaneous improvements include externalized strings to ease the work of translators, and expandable background lists for 3rd party sub-mods.

This update is save compatible
(Obviously some of the changes will only show up on a new game)

Changelog

1.0

[RC2]
- Fixed Underground Tunnels tooltip.
- Added save patching code to re-assign the new backgrounds to existing systems.
 > Interestingly, this means US can be added mid-playthrough and it will add the new backgrounds.

[RC1]

- Reworked backgrounds:
   . Now includes 69 backdrops (from 27),
   . They are somewhat more consistent in art-style and darker as to not disrupt gameplay.

- Background list can be expanded through modSettings.json entries with third-party sub-mods,
- All strings have been externalized for ease of translation,
- Very rare planets types and conditions have been made unique, often with stronger effects. (Artificial, Magnetic and Perpetual Storm planets, Parasitic Spores, Xeno-fungus and Lingering Virus conditions),
- Added "Chemical Crystals" uncommon condition that can show up on toxic worlds to give them *some* colonization value from time to time.

As it has become pretty obvious, this past year I for the most part moved on from modding this game. While it may be disappointing to hear I cannot promise to ever returning to the debit of frequent updates I once held. I however do not want to let this mod die. Thus in the case I have yet to show up 3 months after the next major game release, anyone is free to update Unknown Skies and/or change it however they want.

In the meantime, Unknown Skies' code and assets can freely be re-used by anyone without asking with 3 conditions: It must be for a Starsector mod, that mod must have a similarly permissive license, and I (plus Serenitis in the case of the planet textures) am credited.

An update! Two years later, and worth the wait. I%u2019m very excited to play with this today.

I also specifically said I wanted to have a limited release and get feedback if it worked properly before making a big announcement on the forum... Thanks.

I don't want to change the Laser torpedo when the next game update will introduce its own version that will completely mess up mine anyway.

That post was intended to go on the Diable thread. My bad.

Diable also has been consistently buffed over the years since the big rework of April 2020 that significantly changed the faction feel (and admittedly was imperfect balance-wise, thus the regular buffs). Same as ORA. I work my balancing upwards, starting from the bottom and buffing things only were needed up to the point a faction feels right, but a lot of people can't get past their first impressions from years ago.

Additionally, the Vanilla game changed a LOT too, and it can take time to identify where to catch up.

The fact there is a meme about my way of balancing doesn't make it bad. I constantly get diametrically opposed feedback about Diable, that it is OP according those who play it with it, that it is Underpowered according those that just complain about that update from years ago, or are using a lot of mods of... varying balance paradigms. I personally think Diable is almost there: the ships are very slightly under the line, the weapons are a bit over it, and the Wanzers are fine but somewhat frustrating to use, and that's why they will receive particular attention in the next update.

Nerfs? What nerfs? Scy has been significantly buffed for 0.95, and previously the last patch that included both buffs along with a few nerfs was 1.61 back in August 2020! What are you talking about?

This update provides more fixes and improvements to the bosses. I tried to solve some odd deploying behaviors, added the missing limited descriptions when encountering them, repaired the bounties not showing up at all, as well as implementing a balance pass for their minions. I also added three new custom Nexerelin starts that hopefully will open new interesting opportunities for role-play and offer unique challenges. These are Mulligan!, Break-up Hanghover and A Knight's Tale.

Hopefully this mod will now be in a good-enough spot so that I can move my attention onto my others ones in dire need for an update!

Changelog

 - Added 3 new Nexerelin custom starts:
   . Mulligan!
   . Break-up Hanghover

It's not meant to be beaten in a single fight, let alone without massive losses. It repairs extremely slowly so you can attempt to fight it multiple times.

This update technically does not provide much anything in term of new content but represents a major polish pass, notably on the end-game bosses. It should provide a much smoother experience, better rewards as well as a new ways to deal with those challenging opponents.

Changelog

0.52

BALANCING:
 - Minor and major tweaks to the Umpire Beam and Whiplash Blaster.
 - Augur-class EMP Discharge system cooldown halved down to 8s.
 - Hedone-class Time Splitter system CR cost doubled to 2% per use.

BUGFIXES/IMPROVEMENTS:
 - Fixed an issue with the Balisong system.
 - Fixed Tumbleweed's Drone system missing a description.
 - The Titanic wreck should spawn further away from blackholes.
 - BOSSES:
   . Clarified some special items descriptions,
   . Lots of improvements and fine-tuning,
   . Double wreck drops should hopefully no longer happen,
   . Added more ways to get pointed in the right directions,
   . Broke the monolithic fleets in multiple smaller ones,
   . Changed the final boss' ship system,
   . All bosses ships have exceedingly slow post battle repairs. Go at them a second time if the first assault failed without losing your "progress",
   . Boss bounties now have a 10 years deadline,
   . More goodies in salvage!
 - Plague-Bearer LCPs can no longer be mounted on non Plague-Bearer ships, removed the Quarantined Flight Deck hullmod.
 - Proofreading...

"Active" is for bounties that you are actively participating in. We are investigating the issue with Wisp, some triggers have been troublesome since the beginning.
