Got this error when trying to auto-arrange weapon groups on the Dreadnought-class. Using 2.61. Had a bunch of wonky errors with weapon groups/shift-adding stuff since 0.95 came out, entirely focused on the Dreadnought-class, every other Diable ship I tried never bugged out

Yeah, this is what happens when you auto sort anything past 25 weapons. I think its okay if you do it manually?

^ As far as I know, yes. Either auto-sort or shift-click weapon groups will crash out. Clicking each weapon 1by1 seems to hold itself better

Hello, feedback here.

I am playing a Nex rando generated sector.

I am not sure if it is just my save or not, but in less than 4 years Diable Avionics had squished TT out of existence, and has reduced Hegemony / Persean to one system. They seem absurdly strong on the campaign map, able to win basically every single invasion I see come up on the intel screen. I didn't count how many starting colonies they had, and didn't notice until about a year in that half the map was brick red when my favorite TT trading colony wasn't blue anymore.

As far as the ships go, I think they are exceptionally weak. I'm able to solo the battlecruisers in a tempest, and anything less than the battlecruiser gets deleted by any assortment of high tech / midline laser boats. I think they look really cool, but the extremely small shield arcs, combined with weapons that trade range for other benefits, combined with the phase ability that lowers their shields momentarily just makes them unusable in the AI's hands. If a paragon is concentrating 4 high, 4 grav, and 6 tac lasers on the battlecruiser, and it jumps and lowers its shields for that split second, it is going to lose half its hull instantly. I don't know what needs to be buffed to make these ships less of a pushover, but two paragons can easily beat a fleet of 30 of these battlecruisers and not take a single point of hull damage. I'd start with the shield lowering jump ability - the ai just suicides with it. After that, maybe buff the shield arc slightly so I am not able to solo the BCs in a frigate. The weapons also all seem underwhelming in a world where range is king.

Diable has not been updated since Nex was ported to 0.95 and will get all of their regular boosted systems in random mods, thus their overwhelming strength.

As for ships, they are a bit trickier than your average vanilla ship to outfit, but the default Maelstrom in AI control can 1v1 all of the Onslaught, Legion, Conquest, Astral caps and only looses to the Paragon which is appropriate for its DP.

Most cruisers can 1v1 an Onslaught or Legion. I just put my Astral up against the Maelstrom and it mopped the floor with it 5 times in a row. Just simple longbows and daggers. Even still, the game doesn't really care about 1v1s, as that tiny shield angle gets the Maelstrom killed by destroyers and frigates with ease. I am not playing with the DA ships, but against them. I would like for them to just be a bit more of a challenge compared to the other midline / high tech ships in the game.

Well, properly builded they not so weak, but i agree overall they weaker than vanilla line. Especially with native weapons, vanilla and over mod equipement truly give them a push.
I think they need one or two "AI friendly" ships, preferably if this ships can hold the line. IMHO, right now this fleet is truly missing some heavy "anchor ship", cuz classic DA ships quickly run out of steam, they not build for prolonged "grindy" engagements.
Btw same about wanzers, after they got destroyed it become very big window of weakness, where they respawn. And they got rekt pretty fast, cuz they are extremely vulnerable to ant-fighter crafts and normal weapons. Arbitrators wont help that much
Honestly i think DA AI fleet can be also buffed pure-carrier. Maybe if form of "droneship" if Tartiflette worry about DA ship with too much hangars (dunno why), which have build-in drone fighters with fast recovery time and anti-fighter purpose, for cover and distraction.

I think the issue with Maelstrom is the amount of Ordnance points it has. Compare to other ship that costs 40 or even 45 to deploy it has abysmal amount of Ordnance points which makes it quite undesirable to use.

Is there any idea when the Ornate skin will be available for 0.95a?

I'm pretty sure the skin packs are compatible with the update, you just have to change the version number

I really like this faction, I do hope you'll be able to find the time to fully update it for 0.95a and nex compatibility :D

Cheers for your awesome mods!

One of the best (if not the best) faction mod ever. Does not fell into OP trap as many mods have fell into (i did that mistake every time as well) yet manages to be relevant with being different. Great work!

Edit: Also, i can hardly call maelstrop op. I managed to blow it up with a 12 cp ship in ai vs ai so... not op.

Thanks!

To the others: I'm very resistant to balance changes to the Maelstrom (but also Diable in general) for the simple reason that I currently have two in my fleet and they are murdering everything except maxxed bounty battleships with uber officers.

There will be a few very minor buffs to Diable in general that do improve the Maelstrom and the Panda a bit, but no actual stat changes feels required for now.

Some skin affect weapons and fighters, some don't.
