Well deserved buffs. My Filaments were getting destroyed by end game threats because they couldn't win the flux wars against other capitals of similar cost.

Easily my favourite faction mod, and goddamn the music for them though, i literally sat a station listening to the music while outfitting my ships and realised a whole hour had passed, where is it from?

The faction music was made by MesoTronik. He certainly did a great job with it.

First things first,i love the designs and the ship overall concept,thumbs up for making them
But theres one thing that was constasntly bothering me,the faction is supposed to have only one star system or i am just unlucky?
when i start with their faction and move to buying bigger ships(verge+) i constantly run in a problem where i either cannot find the ship i want for hours(when i clearly remember seeing it there an hour ago),or just unable to fully equip them with faction weapons bcs....weapons are just not there(and i feel really bad for slapping other weapons instead),which is reaaaaly sad,any chances that will be tweaked for them to have at least a little cluster of 2-3 stars nearby?or like a military base in that area?getting their equipment is just painfull even if you already have max standing and full access to things
this becomes even more sad when they have a bad start and their economy drops,getting gown took me quite a while when they where raided by pirats and other factions bcs RNG

ehhh...i miss ships like gown....big ships with big guns go brrrr

and if it comes to suggestions....hm....i would probably consider one thing besides adjusting the faction status

adding some sort of heavier fighter type that would be just one wing in slot,but like....small frigate sized?(with apropriate stats and weaponry)
as in my testing everything else besides the garter was nearly useless and couldnt do much later,with garter just shining a very bright light due to naturally being a heavy bomber with one shot at decent range
while anything else that tries to engage in CC just gets demolished and you have to replace it to not lose crew and combat performance later on
or,make fodder tiers to be complete automatic and not require crew for them to do their job as a complete wall of meat, but you wont lose your crew now

The faction is and always has been meant to mix vanilla weapons with their own. I'm not a fan of adding vanilla equivalents when they aren't needed. Imho the faction aesthetics mesh well enough with vanilla weapons.

Ambient music is underappreciated, always makes me smile when I find someone who agrees.

I'm not adding more systems for them. Wouldn't fit their lore. Weapons are available enough between their two planets and the extra market at Charkha.

I had a good modded playthrough with lots of 0.95a mods along with this one. I'll leave a mini-review here to make sure the author knows there are players who care and maybe some feedback.

First of all, the art is hands down amazing. Not only the best art in the entire starsector modding community, it might be better art than what vanilla starsector has. Holy sweet little baby jesus, gotta love it.

Compared to tahlan shipworks, this mod's ships are a little bit more generic mechanically, I wish they had more special/unusual/interesting stuff going on with subsystems or skills. But I don't know how to do that without making them too strong.

Another thing I wish this mod had is tighter integration with the game: give pirates torn apart variants of scalar ships, have maybe some random deep space encounters with their experimental tech, have some interesting interaction with vanilla factions, etc. I understand that the point of this mod is being just a faction mod and this is what faction mods often do, but I know the author can go so much deeper than this after playing tahlan shipworks!

As for weapons, I think their weapons are a little bit too strong for how easy they are to obtain (just land on their planet and buy). I don't mind them being stronger, but I wish they were harder to obtain.

Gotta re-iterate how amazing the art, because it really sells the entire mod. I really like how pixel-art smoothly blends with conventional art in its ships, what a great job with that!

Just a heads up; the version checker is saying this version is 0.0 even though it should be 0.7.  In other words: the version checker is saying I have version 0.0 and should have 0.7 (even though I DO have 0.7 installed).

It will get uploaded to my SoundCloud not yet but soon. In the meantime you can dig them out of the mod folder for listening.

This faction has an amazing design but balance-wise it is too strong. Their ships themselves aren't that op (except their battle carrier which is nimble like a destroyer and hits like a truck) but heir weapons are insanely powerful and their fighters (and especially bombers) are utterly broken.

I am curious about what is their weakness?

Well, lore-wise, they're isolated for so long and have to develop superior weaponry to keep their independent from both Persean league and Hegemony so it's probably a design choice. But in the campaign they mostly just sit there doing nothing, and in Nex as long you're not actively hostile toward them they can't be bothered with you.

I'd need a bit more detail on how the weapons are supposed to be any different in power from vanilla and the fighters are "utterly broken". Don't really have much to go on here.

Their weaknesses are the same as normal hightech

Wait, that balance wasn't intentional?
