Albatross Bomber - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLjX7i_9kuE&hd=1
Configured as a bomber, the Albatross' autofeed system allows it to hurtle cluster bombs towards its enemies, destroying ships many times its usual strength.



IFed 1.22 was just released introducing ship systems!

[Outro]

First off, I love the aesthetics of your mod.

Secondly, I was wondering if you could consider using this sprite for the Toa Destroyer?
It just bothers me when ships have weapons jutting out at the very front that are grossly oversize or look out of place, which happens a lot with the Toa.



And in addition, change the 2 topmost medium hardpoints to small turrets (with the same coverage as the other 2 small turrets), then change the 2 small hardpoints in the center of the ship to medium.

I have suggestions for a couple of the other ships as well if you want to hear/see them.

Rigging an Auria with a Hadron Accelerator in the Large Universal hardpoint and a Cain in the Large Ballistic 360deg turret mount makes for good, anti-cap, fun times. Mass Drivers in the front Medium Ballistic hardpoints for some more alpha strike. Railguns, Dual Light Machine Guns, and Double Flak Cannons (mm, DFC!) for some point defense, and you're pretty much golden. (I like to stick Hypervelocity Drivers in the 270deg Medium Ballistic turret mounts, but that's because I can't find any more Mass Drivers, ugh.)

It's almost overpowered, really. Especially if you slip on an Integrated Targeting Unit and Expanded Magazines. Missiles? What language is that?

Also, a Titan with Cains in the Large Ballistic turret mounts? Glorious. A triple-linked Cain broadside can punish just as well as a single Hadron Accelerator, minus the charging time.

What I'm saying is I love your mod. Here's hoping Uomoz's Corvus gets updated with 1.22 soon, so I can mess around with ship systems.

Waiting the tested version for U'sC integration (max 1 week).

I like how the toa loos, though your version could do for a toa v2

Yea, I'd be okay with it being added as a different version of the Toa

New splash image is up!  

As for the looks of certain ships, I'll be keeping them how they are for the most part.  I like the toa.  Sure, it's junk hangs out, but that's how it rolls.  I don't want to start kitbashing minor ship variations (i.e. Toa MkII), because it looks kind of lazy and introduces "same-y-ness".  IFed provides a lot of variety in terms of ship designs and I'd like to keep pushing in that direction, but I will definitely keep your thoughts in mind for future ships.  Thanks for the feedback and high praise folks, I'm glad you're enjoying the mod!

I'm just getting a chance to dig into 1.22 and already have a few lines on the next changelog.  The goal here will be to have a solid build for Uomoz by Tuesday, if not sooner.  Starfarer 0.53a is a blast and I'm already looking forward the next update!

More fun toys! I do wish there was a version of the MLRS' that had homing, though (MLMS? MMLS?), just because mass barrages arcing out and around from the Auria's angled launchers to slam into a target would look beautiful.

Any hints at what roles future ship additions might be filling?

With 0.53 just released, it's still too soon to know what's possible with systems, but I'd like to push them further.  I have some ideas, but I'm keeping them under wraps for now.  I've heard that the next Starfarer update will focus on the campaign.  If that's true and it's moddable, then I'd love to dive into whatever new content can me made for it.

The one hint I'll give on upcoming stuff is pew pew!
