The worst Sunder in the galaxy.
« on: April 09, 2020, 03:28:23 AM »

A very minor and entertaining "bug" that might not even need fixing, but still.

Galatia has all the tutorial wrecks and fleets in it, even if the player decides to skip the tutorial proper. This includes a few rogue miner fleets with overdriven Sunders in them. It is possible to recover them after battle, and at least one of these Sunders is... different. It has 3 medium energy mounts instead of the usual 2 medium 1 large. This isn't a D-mod, it's just an older version of the defective hull. To the best of my knowledge, it is the only Sunder like that in the sector. A true collectible, indeed.  :D

I don't have the save anymore, but the variant certainly exists in the game files (starsector-core/data/hulls/skins/sunder_d). Galatian rogue miners is where I've seen it in-game myself.

Oh, hmm - a bit of an oversight, but I'm tempted to keep it :)

If this is an oversight, then so are all the (P) ships.
They are just downgraded versions of something to populate pirate trashfleets without overfacing the early player. Not uncommon at all.

If it's in any way misleading or confusing, this variant of the Sunder could be given the (P) tag as well.

While this may be the case for some ships, remember than some (P) ships are just skins, they are in no way different stats wise from the regular ones. And then you have upgrades/sidegrades depending on preference, for example Falcon (P) and Shrike (P).

The Sunder with all medium mounts is also "just a skin".
It can be seen clearly by following the path mentioned above.

ALL (P) ships are skins.

What I mean is there's a "general purpose" system for generating (D) versions of ships, and hand-made (D) versions are holdovers from before that was in place, that's all.
