Hey folks, still alive, just forgetting that I need to actively check the forums every now and then for updates and comments. Haven’t forgotten my modding, just life has been taking me in other directions this year. While I don’t know when I’ll be “back”, rest assured I will be eventually.
That aside, I see questions.
I really love the fighter wings in this mod (firebird is the best wing
, not just from this mod but out of all wings ever created), but i see a problem with the enigma. Enigma is way too weak for a wing that costs 20 OP...
The Enigma really is, well, an enigma. To me as much as anyone else. The concept for a “beam bomber” is something I really quite enjoy, but I agree I haven’t nailed it just yet. The Enigma is one of the more frequently changed vehicles in DaRa. It’s almost certain to get rebalanced and toyed around with more in future updates.
About vendetta, in the codex it says something like being sibling with onslaught and being a missile focused warship. How about some built-in missile weapons for vendetta? That would be cool just like how onslaught have a pair of built-in TPC.
It’s a cool idea, for sure! However I haven’t ever felt the need for a custom built-in on the Vendetta, I think it’s special enough as a ship even without that. Further, a couple of DaRa weapons (the Anaximander specifically, and the upcoming Dynamo torpedo launcher) were designed with the Vendetta in mind as a launch platform. Maybe the XIV variant could accept a built-in, but I’m really not sure what. (A built-in for the sake of looking more like the Onslaught would be kinda boring in my opinion, and make the Vendetta seem rather a cheap concept next to the Onslaught. Also the Legion has no built-in weapons or fighters, yet is also an Onslaught companion.)
... The Vendetta is already in my game (even managed to get its blueprint the campaign before this one), is it because there are other mods introducing it?
Is it the vanilla Vendetta or a variant of it? Some mods add skins and variants of other ships from other mods. The Mayasuran faction mod, for example, has a Manta(M), but it doesn't require DaRa to show up.
I think Vendetta XIV included in XIV blueprint.
There is a “Great Houses” Vendetta, as provided by Nia in Tahlan Shipworks (I think, might be another of their mods), which will appear without DaRa being present. I don’t know of any other forms of the vessel in other mods.
The Vendetta (XIV) is part of DaRa though.
(An aside question for Axle, is it possible to add additional starts to Nexerelin from your end? If so, can we see a Nex start option with a Starlifter?)
It’s not only possible: there already are Nex custom starts added by DaRa! Specifically custom faction starts, you can check the Nexerelin config in DaRa’s files to see the full list of additions. However, I have no intentions of a Starlifter custom start, so you probably won’t see such a thing anytime soon.
