Hi! What if faction you're part of giving you their exclusive BP if you have good reputation with them after several year in game? Or at very least allow you to produce their ship and weapon?
I'm not gonna lie, i hate blueprint hunting, even with spamming raids plus if you install Nexerelin that force you to wait 6 month for another blueprint raid, it's true you can change the interval of raids penalty in config file but i want more natural and peaceful way, i don't want to obliterate faction that i want to be part of just because i want their ship blueprint.
Let's say you being a part of the Hegemony as well-known hero, after several year later they will start giving you blueprint of their ship design, low tech from frigate to capital class ship and (A) variant. So you can feel like you part of the faction, it's kinda jaring playing as Hegemony but using high-tech like Astral and Odyssey.
And maybe use BP as a reward to the player in Nexerelin, say the player taking down Kazeron, a vital industrial base for the Persean League as the Hegemony, Hegemony higher-up will give us Onslaught or Legion blueprint as reward for our effort but it only happen if the player have been part of Hegemony for certain ammount of time so the player cannot exploit it.
Or at very least "lend" the player the blueprint, so player can produce faction ship for their own use and for player patrol fleet in general, i don't know if the game code can handle it.
This kind of mod will make modded playthrough with modded factions far more interesting. And thanks for coming here, really appreciate it
