Hello everybody,

is there a mod (a ship pack most likely) which features a ship (preferably a destroyer) with a system like the Omen?

I really like the Omen and the system is my favourite from the Vanilla systems, but the Omen gets a bit boring after countless of hours using it ^^


PS: I would do it myself, but I noticed I am horrible at actually making the sprites and left my own attempts at a single prototype.

The Alastair from Arkgneisis does something very similar, and in my opinion pretty cool. Can't think of a directly upgraded EMP Emitter ship though. Since you mention though, it fits well with the idea behind my current project. I'll put it on my schedule. If you want, pass me your prototype and I'll use it as a reference.

My prototype was a cruiser sized tempest (with 2 unique drones) I made 3 years ago, has nothing to do with this. : )


I tried to make it myself, but I didn't find where I could increase the ROF of the EMP or make it use more than one 'weapon hardpoint' to fire from. Do you by any chance know where I would have to look to change these?

Roider Union, a vanilla-friendly mod, has an EMP Emitter destroyer.

Thanks, thats not bad. Not exactly what I was looking for, but not bad at all

Yeah, it's not a sleek racecar like the Omen for sure! Interesting take on the EMP support ship though. I know that there's a mod somewhere with a modified EMP system ship that only arcs to one target but hits at higher frequency, more like an assault weapon, but I forgot which. Maybe someone else will remember the mod's name and post it.

Well if somebody could tell me how to mod the EMP more than the obvious changes in range and damage in the EMP.system file I would be glad, too. Then I could try making my own ship, let it be ugly, nobody but me will ever see it.

I have two ideas (both I can't do right now because I don't find where to change it):

1. Give the Destroyer 2 emitters, hence having an increased ROF (so far did neither find where I could increase ROF nor make it shoot out from 2 sources)

2. A chain EMP, if that is feasible at all.

[Twogs]

So after diving through the files and the documentations you can find here and on the wiki, I still have no clue where the EMP system gets its stats from. (besides the damage and range from the .system file)

If anybody knows I would be so happy to learn about it.

I think that the High Tech Expansion mod might have a weapon that does the same thing as Omen system. Maybe? Hard to remember.

[Twogs]

Yeah outsourced the coding part to my brother, who luckily has far more expertise in that field than me ^^

I did the sprite in the meantime, well I tried to.
