after looking though i saw you plan to add eldar right? as a space elf apologist (yirlet/macha my love) im hyped

[AccuracyThruVolume]

Yes Eldar are likely next.  They will be a faction of entire phase ships, representing their holo-fields.  Should be a faction that is different to play.  Weather that means they are balanced, OP, or trash... we'll have to see.

@Operative#1251:

Hmmm, undecided on Imperium sub-factions.   Space marines could stand alone.  Admech seems more likely a sub.

[AccuracyThruVolume]

Update time.  V0.5.2

The space Dwerfs make an appearance:

* Added Demiurg Stronghold, an incredibly rare and unique ship.  Players will have to discover it's location as it was rumored lost somewhere out in the void...
* Added Demiurg Bastion
* Added Demiurg Citadel

* Added Demiurg Fighter
* Added Demiurg Bomber

* Added Demiurg Mining Torpedo
* Added Demiurg Mining Missile (Fighter)

For now the Demiurg ships should be rarely seen in the largest of TAU fleets, and will make use of TAU weapons in their turret slots.   I may make some Demiurg specific ones.

Great work! I really like battlefleet gothic so this scratches the same itch for me

This ship I think should have a cargo capacity rivaling that of the Mass Universe Conveyors.
In my game it had a massive capacity of 600.
While the Conveyor had something like 12000 capacity.

The Gal leath was first a colony/cargo ship before being a battleship so it would be at least nice to have a purely merchant version of all their merchant/explorer ships being used for their main purpose. Trade/Logistics.

In mod balance wise the Explorer starship does do better than Imperial battleships of it's size. Feels a bit like the Tau are a bit more DP efficient than the Imperium. Though that might not be a bad thing.

If possible it would be nice to get all the ship statistics listed on the main page of this mod. And I think there are some hold over weapons that got left in the blueprints list. I found myself being able to loot prow mounted nova cannons and lances from raids on New Meridian.
And the font for New Meridian was a weird lowercase in my playthrough for some reason.

If anyone has made a discord for this mod, I would be interested in joining.

do planetkillers show up on the market?

[FeudalWulf]

Cool mod, I like broadsides, shame the AI has absolutely no idea how to use Imperium ships, they will literally sit and hide behind you every fight watching you get beamed by the entire enemy fleet. Sometimes they'll wiggle back and forth at the target I ordered them to fight, missing every salvo. Rage inducing, happened LITERALLY every single fight. The most useful the AI can be is getting in the way of every Nova cannon shot, just the worst. I'm sure this is a Starsector issue and nothing to do with the mod, very sad.

[Generic_Scout]

Planet killers can be stolen/bought from Chaos planets with a Nexerelin Agent. Otherwise I think they'll never really appear.

Hello there
Slight issue with the mod (probably): when you purchase the governship of imperial world, and build heavy works, something blocks you from producting custom orders. ships, wings or weapons.

Update:

I have suffered a catastrophic SSD crash.
Unfortunately this was also the drive where all my mod source files were located.  I was able to recover a few things off the drive for other mod projects before it went fubar, but not this one.   I was in progress of starting the next faction, So I lost few wip sprites.   

Actually this means I lost all rulebooks, reference library, and all sprite source files.   The mod itself survived, being on another drive.  Also the download link means it's offsite anyway.

Let this be a reminder, backup your files regularly, don't be the dumb like me.

The mod will continue, but this means don't expect any real new content update for several months (doing a new faction takes awhile anyway).

I may take this naughty drive to a data recovery place, but they want $$$$$ and that is simply not in the budget at this time.

[Mysticforce]

Yes for any ship that doesn't have the correct hangar equipped to use it   

@Neopetkyrii
Eldar are definitely one of them.  Hmmm are their useable votann ships?   Off to google things.....

First of all, great mod!

My stations essentially have frigate hangars instead of fighter bays now  , since station modules have 1000 OP to use and usually barely use 150.

MY ELDAR NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO macha im so sorry macha we wont be able to sat bomb the monkeigh

[Martenzo]

The mod doesn't work on Linux since the Linux filesystem is case-sensitive when it comes to paths and filenames (unless you go out of your way to set special flags during the initial install and formatting of hard drives/partitions and make it possible to create case insensitive folders). Starsector keeps crashing on load because various graphics assets (portraits and weapon sprites definitely, possibly more) are capitalised differently between the xml and the actual folders and filenames, and it fails to find the correct files (same as if there was a typo in the xml on Windows).

Ship suggestion Imperator Somnium as a special ship

Acutally I was working on the Void Stalker.  Was about 60% done.    But things can and are being rebuilt.  It's back in progress once again.  This will lead to the creation of the fighters as well.  My preferred way to start a new faction.

Hmmm I'm not familiar with that one, will look it up :-)

Yeah the AI is not the best with broadsides.   It is what it is.  A custom AI would need to be written to handle it better and that is beyond my knowledge base at this time.  Also I have more factions yet to make.

Yeah The Tau deliver a lot of kinetic dmg, which is pretty good against Imperium.   The couter balance for Tau is the Orks as they have a harder time with them.   I will take a look at the cargo of the tau ships you mentioned.   I don't want to completely invalidate the need for transport ships either.
