Loving the mod overall.  Lots of options, lots of niches filled, lots more need for specialization AND generalist ships.  Good stuff.  Fighters don't completely suck, lots of weapons are far more usable, fair AND fun and the diversity in factions means choices kinda matter now.  Thumbs up.  I gotta ask though:

WHAT THE F#*^ IS WITH THOSE REMNANTS?  Their FRIGATES have better shields than most CAPITAL SHIPS!  I load up, for example, an atlas mkII with rapiers, firestorms and hammer barrages and unload on their destroyers...and the volley gets their flux up to about HALF.  I can alpha strike a CONQUEST with a volley like that!  I can 1v1 a PARAGON with similarly armed ships!  Remnants just go "meh, no big deal."  Also their awareness feels downright cheaty.  Jumped into a nascent well thinking "ok this is nowhere NEAR any jump points so I should be able to safely have a look and burn off if they see me...right?"

Wrong.

Three armadas right on top of me.  Couldn't even emergency burn before they made contact.  It was ugly.  Over a dozen ships, easily 3 million credits worth of highly tuned, heavily armed capitals, cruisers and escorts just ground into paste like they were unarmed cargo ships.  Just...holy crap.  I'mma have to bring like 20 megaliths loaded with apocalypse cannons or something because those things are a half step away from unbreakable, man.

Hi welcome to the forums and thanks for the feedback! I'm very glad you are having fun.

Regarding your concerns:
- That faction is the biggest threat (tier 4) to the player right now (another one is planned) and designed to be extremely dangerous as the lore suggests. In that sense, I really want to keep them very scary, but I'll take a very close look and make sure they aren't completely unbeatable or so difficult as to force a certain tech or faction choice. Especially since the next Starsector update will let players pilot them under special circumstances. This is really a very good time to look at that anyway since I'm already working on fine tuning faction balance. More details on that below.

-As far as getting jumped from the nascent well, that is entirely a Vanilla thing and may very likely have been bad luck rather than those fleets being aware that you were there. I'm not completely sure how that works to be honest. I know jump points should give you a warning if hostile fleets are nearby, but I'm not sure about nascent wells.

My advice:
- In this current release Archean Order ships like the Revenant-class heavy cruiser and Megalith-class dreadnought are probably your best bet because they are far too strong right now lol. Enjoy that while it lasts, however, because there are substantial changes coming to that faction.

------------------------
------------------------
The next planned update has, among other things like campaign progression changes, also inadvertently turned into a major balance pass across several areas of the mod. This is partly tech debt from the introduction of so many new weapons, fighters and hull paintjob/stat variations in the last release, but it is also partly in response to the trials and tests of the new Random Faction Battle mission in the Missions portion of the mod outside the campaign.

Battles inside the campaign have a lot more variables (such as officers, randomized weapons, and extra D-mods) so it can be harder to test balance. This mission boils it down to just the factions ships and their designed variants- with the caveat that deployment cost is still based on fleet points in missions for some reason instead of supplies to deploy, and skin files that change fleet point values to increase deployment costs aren't taken into consideration. Anywhoo, that new mission along with player feedback has given me a lot of insight into a few problem areas that I am hoping to correct:

*Edit*

Spoiler

Factions
- Archean Order ships and weapons are too strong, especially in the player's hands. This is partly from stats, and partly from an underestimation of how powerful range actually is in Starsector.
- Hegemony legion vessels have way too high of a deployment cost in comparison to high tech ships.
- The Luddic Church is still much weaker than I want it to be.

*Edit* (Whoops, added too many to the list here. I don't want to be counter-intuitive to the tactics manual, and need to make a note to update the status of the Luddic Church as a primary military faction there.)
- Tri-Tachyon, Hegemony, Archean Order, Persean League, Adamantine Consortium, Luddic Church and Lion's Guard should all feel roughly similar in terms of combat effectiveness (not ship to ship but overall fleet to fleet) in campaign patrols, yet they don't. I want to do my best to make the choice of *primary military* faction commissions to be based on flavor, lore and play style rather than which one is the strongest as far as ships and weapons go. (Clarification of this point) This doesn't mean each faction will get access to the same weapons and tech of course. Its more that militarily each primary faction will have a specific strategy that is mostly effective relative to numerical superiority and fleet composition- meaning that it is certainly not a hard-and-fast rule since certain variants counter each other with various degrees of severity and fleet composition and tactics matter a great deal. It is more that I don't want any primary faction to feel easy to beat in a fair fight.
-To clarify commission balance in non-military prioritized factions: Trader Guilds will eventually give the player financial/commodity-based reasons to chose them as a commission even though they aren't a primary military faction, and Sci-Corps will have similar benefits even though militarily they are slightly less well-armed. Pirates, Luddic Path, Independents, Scavengers, Sindrian Diktat and REDACTED all keep their various threat tiers to the player and neighboring enemies.
*/Edit*

Weapons
- Non-missile Fire Support weapons have for the most part had their range reduced. They are a little too hard to counter sometimes- for the AI in particular.
- Beams supported with the Advanced Optics will be the longest ranging weapons besides missiles. The Tachyon Lance will have half the range but recharges 50% faster.
- Projectile-based Energy weapons have had their damage increased almost across the board. Things like the Thermal Cannon and Obliterator Cannon are currently a little too weak for their OP compared to ballistic equivalents.
- I'm planning on increasing the chance for rockets and torpedoes to get through pd. Long range missiles feel pretty good, however.

That is the short version, anyway. Full details are in the notes.

I'm not exactly sure when the next update will be ready, but it shouldn't be too much longer. I'm planning on doing a few more things first. I just wanted to get these notes/changes out there in case anyone had opinions on them.

Notes So Far (Long):

Spoiler

Campaign Content Additions and Balance Changes
-------------
 -- New Ships:
    - Justicar-class cruiser (new Archean Order cruiser due to Revenant-class changes)

 -- Market Changes:
    - Significantly increased the cost of ships across the board to better match unmodded starsector.
    - Adamantine Consortium: Friendly market theme now only contains one music track instead of two. They had (imo) conflicting vibes to them and I'm saving the other one for something special lore-wise.
    - Smuggling at Adamantine Consortium or Archean Order markets now has more serious consequences to reputation with those factions.
    - Resigning a comission with Adamantine Consortium or Archean Order now has more severe consequences to reputation with those factions.
    - Rescuing an Adamantine Consortium officer or administrator now has a major impact to the player's reputation with the barons.

 -- Faction Changes:
    - Added custom dialogue for comissions for all new factions.
    - Added two extra variants to the Odyssey battlecruiser for the Sci-Corps.
    - Added three extra variants to the Revenant battlecruiser for the Archean Order.
    - Changed Tri-Tachyon fleet composition- they should hopefully now contain more destroyers and cruisers instead of merely large numbers of frigates supporting capitals.
    - Added default variants to the Lion's Guard faction from designed variants from .8
    - Removed chance for Acolyte-class frigate to be found in Adamantine Consortium dreadfleets.
    - Increased the presence of Elite Mercenary variants in Trader Guild fleets.
    - Added more variants for the Vigilance, Drover and Hammerhead for Lions Guard, Trader Guilds and Persean League fleets.

 -- Missions:
    - Added a Random Faction Battle Mission that pits the player against a random faction's fleets. Player factions have around a 50% less chance to generate capital ships in their support fleets to increase overall difficulty.

 -- Feature Enhancements/Additions:

   Cease Fire Changes/Additions:
     - Doubled the credit cost of the standard bribe.
-----


Combat Balance Changes
-------------
 - Plasma Jets ship system regenerates a charge far less often and has an increased cooldown between uses.
 - Increased hitpoints of Shockwave Rockets.
 - Reduced OP cost of Interdiction Drones by 1 OP point, reduced refit time by a few seconds (Made it a more thrifty option than pirate Broadswords which perform the same role but slightly better)
 - Tachyon Lance now fires about 50% faster, but has half the range (2500 from 5000) and costs more flux to fire. Damage per second overall has increased but strike damage remains the same. (Was by far the most powerful 32 OP weapon- especially in a player's hands)
 - Razor Tri-Beam damage per second has been increased.
 - Slightly reduced Phase Beam damage per second.
 - Increased Heavy PD Burst Laser and Paladin PD System's damage.
 - Almost all non-missile Fire Support weapons, including the Ion Beam, have reduced range, some have reduced flux cost to compensate. See Archean Order notes in particular further down this section.
 - Fury and Hailstorm rockets have less effective range.
 - Beams with advanced optics are now the longest range non-missile weapon.
 - Rebalanced most Projectile-based Assault, PD and Strike weapons above small:
     - Obliterator Cannon now deals significantly more damage, fires at regular intervals, and costs less flux per shot to better match its heavy assault role.
     - Heavy Obliterator Cannon now deals more damage per shot.
     - Thermal Pulser and Thermal Cannon have increased damage per shot. Firing rate remains the same. Thermal Cannon now deals slightly more damage per second than Thermal Pulser and has increased strike potential.
     - Increased Cutlass Laser and Heavy Cutlass Laser damage per shot.
     - Plasma Cannon deals more damage per second, has increased strike damage per salvo, and has longer range. Costs more flux to fire.
     - Antimatter Blaster charges up more quickly and can fire charges more often. More flux to fire, but extra charge regeneration has also increased dps considerably.
 - Rebalanced entire line of Archean Order energy weapons:
     - Reduced Void Driver damage per shot slightly.
     - Increased Phase Cannon damage but reduced its range. Now costs minor flux to fire.
     - Eclipse Cannon now has less range but increased damage per shot (increased anti-armor effectiveness).
     - Apocalypse Cannon Ordinance Point cost reduced to 28, range reduced by about half, increased damage and reduced flux cost to fire.
     - Heavy Apocalypse Cannon range reduced by about half, significantly increased damage and reduced flux cost to fire.
 - Reduced negative impact of Luddic Conversion hullmod on Luddic Church ships and reduced those ships deployment cost. Now improves handling rather than reducing it. (Luddic Church vessels still needed improvement)
 - Reduced the penalty of increased deployment cost for Hegemony 14th Legion vessels. Armor now calculates as a percentage increase that varies with hull size instead of a flat increase.
 - Reduced the deployment cost reduction benefit associated with Simple Core Systems hullmod.

Bug Fixes
-------------
 - Added Carrier Bays built-in hullmod to Epiphany, Exile, Executor, Drover, Medusa, and Osprey as intended.
 - Corrected Megalith description to better reflect its combat role and power, as well as its lore compared to campaign realism.
 - Fixed and expanded station descrtiptions in the industry layer - to give players a concise tactical reason to choose a station based on playstyle and faction choice.
 - Corrected the names of ranks and posts for administrative staff and ground military for new factions.
 - Corrected outdated reputation relationship descriptions for Adamantine Consortium in the intel window from when the faction started neutral to the player.
 - Fixed situations where a player with their transponder off who was stopped by an Archean Order patrol was attacked even though they had high reputation.
 - Fixed situations where a player with A.I cores would have them confiscated even after complying and turning their transponder on and having high reputation with the Archean Order.
 - Corrected some drones need of crew due to missing values in the spreadsheet instead of 0s.
 - Added Fleet Paragon variant to the Tri-Tachyon Corporation fleets as intended.
 - Removed possible- though highly unlikely- case where the defective Falcon variant was used instead of the Pirate Falcon skin that has a large hardpoint.
 - Corrected crew requirements for Tyrant-class battleship.
 - Changed Iridium Hyperdriver to target fighters when no better targets are available.

OKAY! So!  After a little more time and trial and error, I figured out the problem.  Their destroyers have an absolutely incredible damage to flux ratio...aaaaaaaand fleet AI is generally stupid when not specifically ordered around.  My missile ships were shoving their way to the front while my bulwarks were just chilling at fire support range.  Even had the right officers for them.  Probably just Vanilla coding.  Anyway once the destroyers shields overload they pop like balloons.  Apparently I just got hit by the mother of all ambushes back there so...I guess your mileage may vary.

Now though?  I have a new love: the Tyrant.  A PHASE BATTLESHIP is absolute madness and the hardpoints allow for alpha strike potential like the galaxy has never seen.  It's the beefiest backstabber in the sector.  On a related note, you seem to have felt the same way about Tachyon Lances as I do: they were underwhelming.  Yours, however, are GODLIKE.  The range, the destructive power and the SOUND--my god that SOUND.  You feel that thunder in your BONES, man.  It's especially awesome when you hear one go off while phasing.  I F*$&ING LOVE IT.  On a good day my flagship leaves graveyards behind.

[Morrokain]

Hey thanks!

Yeah I got pretty lucky with that sound effect, for sure! I tried to make sure all the highest tier weapons sound... meaty? heavy? powerful? Kind of hard to put my finger on it but they should sound scary anyway.

On REDACTED destroyers- I will take a look there. Could be some adjustments are needed. Still wrapping up a balance pass on stations for now.

Side note: You will also get to fire the Tachyon Lance twice as often in the next update. Its damage is the same, but its range has been reduced to half (still the longest ranged non-missile weapon by a large margin)  The flux cost to fire has increased but... that pretty much doesn't matter in a Tyrant. Phase ships' dissipation is much higher than normal ships' dissipation.

[Daynen]

Half the range and half the cooldown?  You're practically BEGGING people to put lances on a tyrant then because range means nothing when I phase through the enemy ship and pop up right on their engines.  That's gonna be devastating.

[Morrokain]

True, but that's also only when you can acquire and get both. Might not always be easy, and may be harder in the future.

It's also just as effective on a paragon or megalith. Heck, even a revenant or heavy modified sunder could probably support one.

[Morrokain]

If you go to the mod_info file located in the mod directory root and set:   "totalConversion":"true",     to:     "totalConversion":"false"

- you can install Console Commands and that mod works with Archean Order (unless something has changed recently). I used it to test blueprints and make sure they actually contained the correct hulls and weapons.

When I release the next update I am going to spend some time updating the main page too. One of the things I am going to try and add is a "Recommended and Verified Utility Mods" section that will list some mods that don't have issues with the TC but can enrich the experience with Archean Order. There are actually quite a few utility/feature mods that are compatible.

Right, so some misleading things here, sorry about that. You don't have to set totalConversion to false to run Console Commands. It can be selected anyway, but you need to make sure you also have LazyLib enabled and should probably run the latest dev version of Console Commands rather than the standard outdated link. I got an error on start-up when running the outdated primary link without LazyLib (just in case that was what some people were experiencing).

[Macdaddy]

Not sure how to make my own post, so I'm just gonna reply here sorry! I am trying to play your mod, but when it starts loading after I've made my decisions for a new game it always crashes. The pop up always reads "Fatal: Ship hull spec [legion_hegemony] not found! Check starsector.log for more info." This is my first time modding starsector so any help would be great! thanks

[Morrokain]

Hi there and welcome to the forums! 

Sorry about your issue. This is indeed the appropriate place to post an issue like that since it is likely related to my mod. Someone else reported the same thing a while back before the latest release but I thought it was because the mod hadn't been updated to 0.9.1a at the time. It is now and I haven't run into that error myself while testing.

Few things that would help:

Are you on the latest version of Starsector -  0.9.1a?

Do you have the latest version of the mod - 1.3.3?

Any other utility mods installed?

What start are you choosing?


*EDIT*

Just to try and reproduce it I took the game off dev mode and ran through every starting condition. About 10-15 new game starts and no errors so far. I will run a few more but may need some more info to troubleshoot further.

[Marco]

After playing this for a few days, I like a lot of it.

All missiles having autoloaders is great, plus more ships having missile/synergy hardpoints to fill the skies with missile spam.

Thunderbolts are seriously OP, though, when you can put 6 or so on a single ship. Press a button, overload(or destroy) the target. And they reload real quickly for that kind of damage too. Not even a Paragon can stand up to that kind of missile spam. I parked a Megalith in the middle of the simulation map, then spawned in 2 Onslaughts, an Astral, a couple Eagles, and a ton of frigates. The Megalith did not move, did not target anything, just raised shields, set weapons to autofire, and set 6 Nightmare Fighter squads to engage. I think a few things got close enough for them to come in range of its other weapons, but that was mostly enemy fighters. The rest of the enemy died to the Megalith's 6 Thunderbolt launchers.

Speaking of the Megalith, Archean ships really are stupidly OP, mostly the Megalith and Revenant. I, flying a Megalith, and 2 Revenants flown by level 20 officers have taken out entire Luddic path armada fleets. It takes some tactics to not let ourselves get surrounded, but that's what the corner of the map is for. After that, it's just a matter of flux management and slowly thinning out their numbers.

My one real complaint about the mod is the slowdown in large fleet battles. Some of it is just Starsector, but I feel like a large part is the fighter spam. I've had issues with the aforementioned Luddic Path armadas fielding so many fighters that I've had multiple instances of not being able to finish off enemies simply because of ablative fighter swarms eating all my shots. And during those times, the game just grinds to a crawl.

[Morrokain]

Hi thanks for the feedback!

Regarding the Thunderbolt - That was recently buffed because it was once underwhelming considering its OP. I probably just tuned it too high. One of the reasons I think it is too good is that point defense is less effective against MIRVs because of the spread of the secondary stage missiles. I don't necessarily want to reduce its damage.. but maybe making point defense more reliable against it would do a lot to prevent it from feeling too strong.

Archean Ships: Yep! They certainly are and there are a lot of changes to bring them closer to other ships in the next release. The weapons they typically use was also part of the problem, and have been adjusted accordingly. The Revenant-class has been redesigned as a light battlecruiser and a new ship, the Justicar-class has taken over the primary cruiser role.

Performance issues in late game: I have adjusted the default and minimum battle sizes in the next release. That will help a little bit, but I have been thinking about potential solutions for that issue and I may release a separate version (not sure when I would be able to fit this in) that uses less resource-intensive effects for engines, particles etc.

[Barracuda]

I maybe encountering a mistake on the XIV Legion, It is I think supposed to have 2 Large Ballistic or maybe Composite mounts, 5 medium ballistic mounts and 2 medium missile mounts. However the current one has 2 Large missiles and 7 Medium Ballistics. Just wanted to let you know so you can fix this small issue in this great mod.

[Morrokain]

@Hiigaran

Hi thanks for pointing that out! I don't always catch those types of things.

In this case I had caught it when doing a bit of balancing work for the Legion and forgot to include it in the notes under bugfixes for the next update. Adding it now.

The 5 forward medium turrets should be Composite in the next release to support missile or ballistic weapons for either the original or XIV version.

[Morrokain]

^ Actually, nvm something is weird with the legion_xiv skin file merging with the vanilla file and it's changing the weapon mounts even when it shouldn't be.

Sorry for misunderstanding!

I had to check the variant in game again more closely to see it. The mediums are being converted back to ballistic from the vanilla file related to that ship. I... actually don't quite know why the large slots are Composite.. neither file does that currently, though I will change mine so that it does. It was intended.

I'll investigate what is going on and make sure it is fixed for the next update.

*EDIT*

Wow I really needed more caffeine. It is fixed now. The replace array didn't correctly include the onslaught (which didn't end up mattering) or legion skin files for the Hegemony. I have corrected that and made the Large turrets Composite for the Legion (XIV)

But far more importantly:

So I thought I would try the mod and I am getting the following error.   Fatal:Ship hull Spec(Legion_Hegemony not Found!   I am currently using Starsector 0.9.1a-RC should I be using something different.

I'm having the same issue. Downloaded the mod twice, just to make sure I had all the files. For me, the game crashes when reaching March 1, just as the game is about to start, after loading everything.

Not sure how to make my own post, so I'm just gonna reply here sorry! I am trying to play your mod, but when it starts loading after I've made my decisions for a new game it always crashes. The pop up always reads "Fatal: Ship hull spec [legion_hegemony] not found! Check starsector.log for more info." This is my first time modding starsector so any help would be great! thanks

First of all, I am very sorry it took so long for me to figure this out. I have never actually reproduced it and troubleshooting something you can't actually see happening is difficult. I am not 100% positive the next update will fix this either, but the issue with the legion skin file was likely the culprit.

My skin file for the hegemony legion uses a different sprite - "legion_hegemony.png" instead of vanilla's "legion_xiv.png." It may have been trying to set both for some reason and caused an error. It shouldn't... the mod sprite should override the vanilla one in theory since they share ids, but I've seen stranger things happen. I'll also take the time to make the names identical (they weren't in the first place for legacy reasons) just in case.

If you never solved that issue and are up for it, take another try once this update is released. Hopefully that fixes it for good. I will try and get it ready for the weekend since this is a critical fix!

Important note for updating: Make sure you delete the entire mod directory before downloading the new version, however, or you will run into issues since several files have been removed and need to no longer be there for the mod to work correctly.

[Barracuda]

Currently trying to recreate the quick fix myself, but when it comes to modding I'm a complete novice  . Could you go into more detail? Either way I appreciate the quick response to our comments!
