Glad you guys liked it, it was fun making it.  No freebies, but I'll toy around with something else in the future if there's time.

That was a very nice video: two thumbs up! if this was eBay I'd have to say: AAAAAAAA++++++ - EXSELLNT SELLR - WULD BUY AGAIN

Hey, I'm new here. 

Wanted to ask about your ships.  I've noticed that the carrier-class ships don't have any flight decks (at least, none that I've seen, which would be not too terribly many).  Were you planning to change your ships to add flight decks at all?

[Uomoz]

keptin, I added 2 LAUNCH_BAY to the Carrier in Uomoz's Corvus version

[keptin]

Cool cool, it's a carrier after all.  I've been pretty slow on the updates; my starfarer spare time has been spent playing instead of modding.

[BrickedKeyboard]

I really like the look of these ships.  And, it's fun blowing up federation fleets crammed full of these ships.

However, nothing from this mod seems to have any use when you're playing with Omega's Mishmash.

Those missile launchers don't have enough ammo, and the ships have too few gun slots for the fleet points they take up.

[keptin]

Thanks for the feedback Bricked, it's nice to know my ships make good cannon fodder! The weapons are undergoing some major changes.  As far as the ships go, in my testing with vanilla, Fed ships were fairly even fleet-point for fleet-point, but I'll take a look.  If the other races in Omega's Minimash aren't also balanced to vanilla, that could explain the discrepancy.

[keptin]

InterstellarFederation v1.09 has been posted! Balance changes and a new ship, the Toa-class Destroyer, a tough nut to crack.

[Uomoz]

If the other races in Omega's Minimash aren't also balanced to vanilla, that could explain the discrepancy.

Pretty much this! I like the vanilla-ish stats of IF.

Also added IF 1.09 in Uomoz's Corvus DEV.

[keptin]

InterstellarFederation updated to v1.10!  Big update, hopefully I don't kill Uomoz trying to shoehorn this into CFC v12.

For this milestone, there'll be some fundamental changes with the mod.  Uomoz's Corvus Factions Collection is now the official collection-mash for IFed.  This collection and user feedback will dictate what is added/changed in each update.  Currently, the focus is on adding new weapons, mostly ballistic ones, that players can purchase at the IFed station.  Notable in this update is the new High Velocity Autogun series (HV50 and HV75), the Mass Driver and the devastating Hadron Accelerator.


It's got a long charge up, but hot damn is it satisfying when it fires!

For this and all future versions, a detailed changelog will be provided:

[Uomoz]

Love this collaboration. We'll need some serious lore for Uomoz Corvus parallel (but not so distant from vanilla) universe.

[keptin]

Likewise! My plans with the lore are to build up the IFed's background and introduce Uomoz Corvus specific lore into the more advanced ships and weapons that will spawn late game to deal with the threat of the Scourge, etc.

[Sunfire]

That weapon looks sweet, I really want it

[Acolnahuacatl]

Just fyi, the download is missing a generators.csv file, so the campaign integration doesn't work at all right now (outside of Uomoz's collection, at any rate) without creating one.

[keptin]

Thanks, good catch! I'm making some updates tonight...I'll make sure it gets back in there.

[keptin]

InterstellarFederation v1.11 is live!  Tonight's build is a patch for the large v1.10 update, getting the campaign working again, adding items/ships to the IFed station and a few balance tweaks.  The Vixen is a whole new ship, the HV100 Autogun has been added and I've updated the magneto-ball hurling Thunderchief AA--destroys incoming missiles and fighters with deadly inaccuracy!
