Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
Might I suggest, if finding the renames hard to really differentiate between the effects, to combine them instead (ex: Skilled PD Gunners = +Range +Damage, Inept = vice versa)?Traits only have one effect, in order to keep things simple and clean. Changing that would require a rewrite of a lot of code. The file where traits are defined would have to be redesigned as well. Not a bad idea, but not something I can afford the time to do.
Happy to help, and yes I found the opposite traits ship in the animated storyteller bar event for a wanted fleet leaderThanks! That will reduce the area I need to search by quite a bit.
Although... now that I've checked it seems that you may have fallen victim to the too-similar trait names I came up with the same way as antsh. Oblivious PD gunners isn't actually the opposite of Skilled PD gunners. Vigilant/Oblivious PD gunners affects the range of PD weapons, while Skilled/Inept PD gunners affects PD damage. I didn't even realize they weren't opposites at first, so maybe it's time to consider renaming some of the traits to be a bit less confusing/conflationary.
Also is there a blacklist check opposite traits because I found a ship with both Oblivious PD Gunners and Skilled PD Gunners (unfortunately I didn't take a screenshot of it)That's not supposed to be possible without the use of console commands. I'll try to figure out how it might happen. Do you remember how you found the ship? As in, was it a famous flagship/derelict from a bar event, one of your own ships, etc?
Just a suggestion:hmm not sure how I would access the colony governor without nex auto-generating them. I'll have to see how to implement it for non-nex users?
Maybe a dialogue option with the colony governor to expel Luddic population/dismantle Luddic shrine for a massive rep hit with the Luddic Church (and maybe Path) or maybe even provoking a war for "liberating the oppressed Luddic faithful in your colony"? (Can maybe also use story points to prevent war declaration or even halve the rep hit?)
Hey
Is there no way to remove the Luddic Shrine from a colony (even with Console Commands ?) because running a high-tech run and putting the shrine by mistake on my main colony hurts a bit with a Rebellion per day
Apart from this, love the mod, continue !
Imho another mod (ExtraSystemReloaded) was and still is better than this one. In this mod, those resources that you spend on upgrades do not provide any significant benefits, or they are questionable. Apparently this is the so-called "balance", the question - what's the point?
Did you improve what the Alpha Subcore gives you?
As I recall the results over in ES were rather lackluster for requiring an Alpha Core.
i think reducing the op cost of all weapons on a ship is a fairly big improvement already (which is what it used to do)
but now it also increases bandwidth, which is directly tied to how much upgrades you can install, so there's that
Congrats on the new release, though I have to say I'm more fond of Extra Systems so if I may ask will it still be supported?
i do not want to maintain two versions, nor do i want to support a mod that has a reputation of being incredibly unbalanced
Tis a shame, but fair enough
Good luck with the future of this mod
exotica is extremely modular so if you want to make a mod that adds the upgrades you want, you can feel free to do it
A little heads up you might want to look for a replacement name for the Apex since it'll be used for a new [REDACTED] ship according to the last blog post
Thanks for the heads up I'm definitely bad noticing these names conflicts.

why did Apex lose its TPC for large energy mount? i kinda liked how it filled a niche in the modiverse of a TPC on something that isnt strictly lowtech.
Tbh, I do love the idea too. However I think it would make more sense that it's integrated in a more "salvaged-looking" ship than the Apex (which would require strong manufacturing and technological capability).
Just as a side note, I have around 4 new ships coming in out of the scratchbuilding workshop. I've been a bit unsettled by the last blog from Alex, as the game seems to be taking a direction away from the "crumbling industrial/technological" setting inspired from Battletech. I might want to reconsider the way I develop the mod to insist on this ramshackle aspect of the game I enjoyed in older versions.
