Oh hi there, dropping a kudos for some quality modding. After returning to Starsector, I'm treated with a facelift on my favorite faction mod.
The Industrial feeling is gone, but now now these ships look more regal. Something a massively OP psychic ruler of entire race of humanoids would design to represent his majesty and definite not-godhood. Yes..
I feel like they are in good spot. While favoring range and being brickhouses mostly, they still have that versatility in forms of tons of points and those packages are so fun.
Few highlights from my game so far
-Seeing AI Ixion loaded with other missiles go full ham on a cruiser, reseting its armaggedon with its system and doing it again.
-Deploying three Ixions with various torpeds to EXPLODE a poor effer
-Putting sledgeguns on the nose of Dictator, grouping them and setting them to alternative fire and watch as weak shield ships can't deal with the constant barrage.
-Managing to withstand odds with some turtling up ala Roman style, shoulder to shoulder with the escort commands while sneakily deploying strike craft reinforcements to torpedo up some exposed rears. Survived some big batles with minimal losses, battles I had no right to win with such schemes.
-Basileuses (Basileusii?) with sabots on the 'wing'. It's sexy.. whenever AI realises he can fire those sabbots willy nilly. Infact, pretty much all missiles with some homing do. Homing torpedos are especially stupid awesome
