Alright, if you do make that change can you please make it toggable? Thanks for this mod.

i can do that but i don't think it would be useful, as once a faction learns a new weapon it can't be removed from their list until you start a new save, so toggling it off mid game is not going to revert it back.

Do AI fleets use these?

No, maybe after they are balanced i would let some Remnant fleets use them

you can force it to run by changing the mod version to match the current game version in the mod_info file, however doing that will 100% result in a crash due to the code being outdated.

Mods / Re: [0.95a] Superweapons Arsenal v1.0

These weapons have pretty nice presentation and some interesting effects, but their power is quite a bit more than slightly above vanilla weapons. Please keep in mind that you should account for scripted damage when calculating your flux costs, for example.

A fair few of these also combine extremely high damage with extremely fast projectiles. I think it would be more interesting to separate the two. Very powerful weapons that take some skill to land shots with are inherently quite satisfying.

I do like the general concept of this mod to add some rare powerful weapons to find, though. Just think they are currently a bit too powerful to the point they take too much skill out of combat, making them get old quick.

I agree with you, Originally i wanted to balance these weapons a bit more before releasing this mod, however i decided to let them be and wait until i finish the rest of unreleased content, then let people have the final word, although balance was never my intention, i don't want any of these weapons to feel like "be happy go lucky", i think adding some inaccuracy as a start will force distance management allowing weapons like the "Phalanx" to be hard to fully utilize at most ranges.

is there any other way to get them organically, other then purchase at prism freeport.

They have no restrictions and can be found in open space like any other weapon, however they are very rare.

Superweapons Arsenal v2.5b

Link Removed ~Thaago

Mod requirements:

GraphicsLib - Get here!

MagicLib - Get here!

Recommended:

Slightly Better Tech-Mining - Get here!

After playing Starsector for a while i noticed that there is not much excitement over finding weapons in this game (with the exception of end game missions), so i went ahead and created a subset of weapons that are balanced above the level of base weapons, hopefully to give a sense of satisfaction when found.

Superweapons:

Spoiler

Superweapons are divided into "Tiers", the tier of a Superweapon decide how rare it is and where it can be found, to put things into perspective, the Tachyon Lance has a base rarity of 0.6, Factions will never Sell/Drop/Use Superweapons against the player.

« on: June 21, 2021, 11:27:24 AM »

the nerf to the Pandemonium "is" harsh, yes it was Overpowered but now with 2 less heavy slots and around ~60 less OP the ship should not be called a dreadnought anymore, i believe it should retain it's original OP value since it was never tanky in the first place.
i hope you consider a buff in the near future.
+keep up the good work! Luv the skins

Mods / Re: [0.95a] Tahlan Shipworks 0.7 - SUNDEREST!

« on: June 20, 2021, 04:00:59 PM »

Very nice mod with some super cool botes, but I found a bug in the tahlan_StormDriveAI script.

Line 71:

Code

return (MathUtils.getShortestRotation(angleToTarget, ship.getFacing()) <= DEGREES);

This will always return true on the ships left arc, as it produces a negative rather than positive value in that instance and as such will always be lower than the degrees value.

Solution:

Code

return (Math.abs(MathUtils.getShortestRotation(angleToTarget, ship.getFacing())) <= DEGREES);

True, since the game treats left angle as a negative value, you will have to get the absolute value of it.
