Hi, I really love the mod the ships and weapons are super fun to use and fight against. I just had a question, where can I find the outcast ? btw I tried a few ships that we can't get, the omega_aeterna  is really powerful, I mean i deployed one against a pirate horde and i won, this not a complaint since those ships are unavailable without console command and are really fun to use.

The outcast ships and weapons were removed a few versions ago.

Personally though, I hope to see them come back someday, maybe as a full faction :P (I'm a sucker for black/red color schemes, and the art on them was particularly well done)

Oh that's a shame, they could be an IBB bounty perhaps ? The metafilica would be a pretty cool boss.

Fortunately the Metafalica was actually moved over to the Great Houses faction in Nia's Tahlan Shipworks mod with a brown-ish paint job, and swaps the nullspace conduits for the Great Houses mods. It kept the adaptive flux/armor feature though, as well as the hybrid guns, which is neat. It's available as a HVB.

Possible Nexerelin Prism/HVB bug, possible user error:
Playing as Sylphon in Nexerelin, I got the Balance Unto All HVB quest. Killed it (with transponder off to not tank my own faction standing), was unable to salvage it from the fight, but it never showed up in the Prism market either, unlike the other HVB/IBB ships I failed to loot. Is that because it's from my own faction? I was hoping to use it as my flagship lol.

I think I've seen both HVB and IBB ships in prism, but I can only remember seeing IBB ships now that I think about it, are the HVB ships also supposed to go to the Prism market?

I can always add it with console commands, but I prefer not using them when possible.

I just never added support for the prism spawns to Sylphon, is all. Will patch that in eventually.

Gotcha, thanks! I'll see if I can figure out how to add it myself for the time being, more knowledge is always good lol.

Hah, I've been playing a game with Sylphon and have been compiling a report on bugs and thoughts for them.  But the new version came out before I posted it.  Looks like those are all balance changes and will probably be save compatible?

I will at least post what I have so far for my report, since I've mentioned it.
Spoiler
Errors/bugs
-Errors in fuel station system: Asteroid belt too close to star, inner jump point too close to star.  Confuses AI fleets trying to reach them.  Tri-tach farming world missing habitable tag (and any other hazard modifying traits desired).
-Faction should have some small tanker ship and some small crew transport ship.  Either drams/mudskippers or something new.
-Sylph core ships should probably be restricted to military market only.  So they aren't selling random AI cores on their markets.
-Prices on Sylph cores should be looked at.  Subtracting the cost of the AI core leaves a ship that's extremely cheep.
-Interacting with the Remnant has bugs.  While commissioned by Sylph, they have the hostile dialogue if you make contact with them, but aren't actually hostile.  The player is forced to attack them to get out of the dialogue.
-Mariana capital transport ships have too low ordinance points.  They're 35 less than the Atlas and Prometheus.  They instead have the same ordinance as the cruiser sized transport ship, the Collosus.  Putting augmented drive core and militarized subsystems on it costs 65 ordinance.

Positives
-Really like nullspace circuits, lets me go all in on flavor fleet choices by putting them on all ships that are missing integrated circuits.
-Drone carrier ship is good.
-Fighter options are good.
-Like the variety of weapons and the focus on medium range.
-Graphical theme of the faction is great.  With engines, abilities, and weapon effects consistent too.

I'll fix the dram thing at some point. The rest I can't be bothered to check. The mod isn't really in active development anymore. Take it as it is.

Hey, man awesome mod! I was wondering how I can implement andromeda into my game It red to personalize my favorite ship hull with my favorite color. Do you have ship data for it or any way I can implement it into my game I would like to just purchase it as a rarer Replekia or just simply spawn one in let me know, please!!!

I can confirm from my most recent game that adding the mudskipper to the Sylphon's known ship list will cause their expedition fleets to include several mudskippers to transport their marines and prevent strange behaviors with those expeditions if the player is present for them.  Likely the easiest fix for holes in the faction's ship list would be to simply give them access to all the common ship designs.  This will also help fill out their ship markets.  They'll still use their own ships when possible.

So odd bug with the battlecarrier. Combat autofit has 4 launchbay slots, Strike has 6.

If you're talking about the Frelia, it's not a bug but a feature. You can choose between a fighter bay or a large mount on the wings.
