• 4 Antimatter Energy Group ships

v2.0
- Many ships have been renamed to reduce clashes with other mods, [Note: Rhino still and will exist as a Rhino, I'm never going to personally play Kingdom of Terra(it looks like fun, just not my style) myself and it's just too good and fitting of a name for me to get rid off]
- Some of the v1.0 ships have received some sprite love
- New subfaction: Antimatter Energy Group, a monopoly energy company in the hearth of the Osiris Alliance, they will get more high tech goodies in future and perhaps modified tankers. Right now they have only 2(+1 rare) ships.
- New shipstyle: Power Jinx R&D, these include random and cursed kitbashes.
- 15+ new ships
- 9+ vanilla kind starts(when not playing with nexerilin)
- Armin star system now has a pirate base to give something to shoot at low levels.
- Some changes to the planet industries and sizes.
- A lot of minor stuff.

Nes has at least given me a few direct upgrades on sprites.
Helmut for the Ribcage (OA) sprite help.

Thanks to the whole Starsector team!

Creating this mod made me appreciate the original game assets 9000% more. Starsector is awesome!

Congratulation on releasing your mod.
The ship designs are unique.

I want to give some feedback on some spirts.
A few ships seem to have a level of detail missing. The white parts of your bigger ships need some more detail. The railing with the large mounts of Hexagon and Osiris also could work some improvement. Also i am not sure about the reflection on the ORB.

[6chad.noirlee9]

really like the design choices!

very cool!

i hope you follow the above spriters advice, and also expand upon your creation!

[IAmLegion]

Excellent work!  I'm impressed with the spriting for a beginner especially.  I'm personally a fan of sleek ships so this isn't my cup of tea, but I really like the lasher mk 2 and the engine areas of the capital ships.  Overall, very good.  Certainly better than I could pull off   I tried a few months ago to make some ship sprites and discovered just how hard it is.  Downloaded it so I have more stuff to shoot

Time for some BLOAT

I have posted an update v2.0 for the Osiris Alliance. A lot of new stuff, check out the main post for a download link.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I didn't get to the capitals beige areas yet, but I do have some ideas about them. I'll probably redo the ORB in a future update(again, as v2.0 has some work on it)

[BigBeans]

Power Jinx is an extremely trustworthy company. 5 stars.

[IAmLegion]

I really like all the bloaty boys, especially the Aurora style one.

I like the sprite work, great job. I have 2 questions regarding the mod:
From the look of them I cannot decide if they are midline or hightech or a mix or am I off base and some are lowtech?
Any plans for commissioned crews support as part of a worked up faction?

Osiris Alliance ships range from lowtech to midline. Mostly ballistics and missiles, the yellow ships have some lasers. A few outliers that have some quirks.

Antimatter Energy Group ships are high tech as it gets. All energy, maybe some synergy slots. (for now, might change when I get to implement tankers for them)

Power Jinx R&D ships range from lowtech to hightech. Many are marked as civilian ships to let the player abuse militarized subsystems and assault/escort package if they want to. Be sure to check them out and see if you can figure ways to make some use out of them.

This is the first I have heard of commissioned crews. Will look into that but no promises until I check if it requires annoying dependencies I'm not that fond of. Looks simple tho, just a faction hullmod when you are commissioned I take it? I'll take a look.

[Thaago]

I like the look of these ships a lot! They remind me of DME cross ICE in a swoopy way.

[6chad.noirlee9]

WOA youve come a long way in a short time!

[BigBeans]

I love your high tech style ships but there are a couple ships I'm not so keen on. Still, gonna use this mod next playthrough.
