Is it safe to replace the old version in an ongoing save?

Always!

-5% flux generated by missiles... what? thats quite possibly the most minimal improvement of any of the mods now

I knew I forgot something, thanks for the catch! Will re-update soon!

Thank you
And have you considered using external text? I found some problems during the translation process, for example, the original S-mods description were replaced by English, but I can only edit the text added by the mod, couldn't change those original descriptions that changed back to English

Since all the files are in their uncompiled form, you could edit the text directly within the data.hullmods as well as the hull_mods.csv. I'll look into using external text but I am unfamiliar with it for the time being.

Really love the idea of changes. Btw, could I post your mod to Chinese Starsector forum? I'll keep the author information and original link.

Of course you can!

It feels really weird that Expanded Missile Racks doesn't have a S-mod effect, to the point I initially thought I had a mod conflict.

Perhaps something like doubling the rate at which missile recharge (should only affect the Pilum in vanilla, but it feels better than nothing)?

Expanded Missile Rack is powerful enough to not require an S-Mod Bonus.

I'm seeing built-in hullmods that don't have the S-mod bonus, and can't acquire it.

Is that intentional?

Yes. Built In is a step below S-Mod. [HM [BI [SM]]]

You may go into setting.json and set BuiltInSMod to true. This is left false by default because it would buff some ships with built-in mods.

Mods / Re: [0.95.1a] Better Deserved S-Mods 1.32

Found a small bug:
Armoured weapon mounts description has the values for recoil and armour swapped before s-modding (that is, it says 25% armour instead of 10% armour, and 10% recoil instead of 25% recoil)

Found what I think is a bug, if you s mod hardened subsystems the 50% increase from the base mod is replaced with the 30 flat second increase from the s mod, easily fixed by adding stats.getPeakCRDuration().modifyPercent(id, PEAK_BONUS_PERCENT); to the s mod portion of the code

Thanks for making this mod, its a good idea and makes using a story point alot more impactful.

Thank you! Please redownload!

I tried the mod out and found out that Militarized Subsystem doubles ship supply consumption, is this intended?

An accidental edit which will be fixed promptly.

Might be a strange question but these S mods are for the human player only yes?

If AI can use S-Mods, they get the same benefits here.

Good day, thanks for the mod.
1 Are there any plans to expand the mod to all hullmods? Expanding payload / fuel capacity / sensor array?
2 Are there any plans to hullmods other modders? I understand that it is probably not always easy to agree, but for a simple user it would be very exciting.

1. I have only plans to expand the mod to vanilla hullmods that are lacking in OP when S-modded (Roughly 30 OP accordingly). Only Adaptive Phase Coils and Ballistic Rangefinder will be added for the next update. The logistic hullmods are difficult to expand since they're a go-to on logistic ships already.
2. Up to their discretion. Balancing for a S-modded Hullmod and a Hullmod itself is difficult.

General Discussion / Re: The S-mod slippery slope, SP vs OP balancing

Seriously, what you did with Better Deserved S-Mods, which I had a chance to look at all the screenshots of just recently, is very impressive, and it's an elegant approach. The idea of making cheaper s-mods more appealing by giving them better s-mod effects is just *chef kiss*.

(And, ah, I'd hate to step on its toes! I mean, I can't exactly not do things in vanilla for fear of duplicating mod functionality - but it'd still feel bad - which, if we're honest, is a large part of the reason I don't generally delve into mods too deeply.)

I'm blushing from a comment made by yours.

By all means, I would not mind you stepping on its toe and taking its footstep since it will encourage other modders to follow in the mod's footstep if it's implemented in vanilla! I'm confident you can come up with a better and cleaner implementation when I usually hit a wall on some of these hullmods!

It seems to me that the solution here is to change how S-mods work.  Instead of making them free, they improve what the mod does.  Hardened Shields for example, as an S mod, still costs normal OP but might grant a slight decrease in flux per damage over the normal, or maybe just extend the shields a little bit.

I'll just say two things here!

1) I don't think that "you generally only build in the most expensive hullmods, and they tend to be the same couple of hullmods" is particularly a *problem". It might be more interesting if this wasn't the case, but it's also not actually a negative that it currently is.

2) I really, really, like this idea, whether or not that'd be coupled with also making the mods free or not.

I would be really happy if the idea came into a reality!

I do have a question though. Is there any chance that this mod could include hull mods from other mods? With permission, of course.

No, it could be easier for the mod author to do and maintain their own bonuses themselves. You could ask them if their hullmods should have smod bonuses. I did this for vanilla purely because most of the hullmods weren't worth smodding while I found most modded hullmods were worth smodding.

For some reason Adjusted Sector also modifies(?) Heavy Armor, no idea why, the .java files in AS and base Starsector are identical (I also know nothing about coding so...). So Better Deserved Smods looks to be incompatible with Adjusted Sector but only for the Heavy Armor changes.

I do not know why that is the case if there is no difference, you could bring it up with the author of Adjusted Sector!
