The salvage bonus is based on hull size so the haven being a destroyer will make it more efficient than a shepard which is a frigate. If you mouse over the hullmod it will show you the math behind it.

Hi, I'm new to mods and was wondering if the Haven Drone Tender is actually more efficient for collecting salvage than the Shepherd? As in, does it give more of a bonus towards salvage gathered?

Yes.

The bigger the hull, the better the salvage bonus.

[Mattes]

I completely missed that, thank you very much!

The remmant bogle version doesn't seem to show in the codex.

[Arghy]

I take back what i've said about the galli. I've dedicated this run to fielding them and its basically doing the same job as the omen at a slightly cheaper cost with more versatility. The omen is more survivable but expensive to actually field.

Yeah, Starsector 0.98 changed how hidden entries work in the Codex. It has been fixed for the next mod update.

I recently lost a fight i shouldn't have because my nadirs keep trying to strafe instead of being the all beam mobile turrets they should be. I feel the large turrets need a slightly larger angle so they can bring more turrets to bear at a time. They kept moving towards the edge of the battlefield only allowing 1 tach to be brought to bear which prevented the critical mass that was needed to kill targets--it was very frustrating to watch. Such a slow ship shouldn't be trying to do drive bys when literally every other ship in the game can simply leave its weapon range so easily.

I could probably have won if i micro manged them and ensured they didn't move from the center of the battle but the AI can't do this--i actually got the 2 nadirs by driving them off into the corner of the map and killing them last. They're wonderful ships and should totally be a menace but because they have all turrets i feel they try to be extremely slow odyessys.

Can the Tungustan be given some rework? I have given it some thinking and I think is really the only ship I don't like from the mod for two reasons: the inbuild weapon is extremely dominant in that it exceeds the anti shield role, more notable when used against frigates and destroyers; and the extremely limited build choice due to the in build weapon limiting the ship to four small slots. I was wondering if making the inbuild super grav beam weaker (for instance just 100 damage and an extra 400 special damage just to shields) would open more desing possibilities to allow at least distinct support and combat builds.

This sounds like an AI issue and lack of using commands. I've never seen it act like that.

No. This is basically telling me to rework its entire role. It's a long range anti-shield beam bully that can also push ships. It's designed around it's built in weapon. You kinda know what you're getting into when you use it. Also 100 base damage is the same as a regular Grav beam so doubly no.

Only thing I might do is see if I can make it less oppressive against Frigs/DD's but it was already massively nerfed last update and is starting to veer into being too specialised to be worth using.

[Arghy]

Yeah the nadir problem is against strong high flux enemy it wants to skirmish which fails spectacularly so against remnant you have to manually command them to go around the map. I've got 3 S-mods on both of mine with level 7 officers so they're monsters but they just don't know it haha. I might get rid of the tachyons though because i feel like they're not shooting them as often as they should against high flux enemies.

Also includes a handful of free to use sprites that have been edited and brought up to standard by me and given a new home.

Hi! Which of your sprites falls into the free-to-use? I've DL'd your work and am slowly teaching myself, much the way you did, I guess, and starting with skin work before diving into (what I consider) the scary stuff like boundaries and turret placement and stuff. TYIA, it's really neat stuff.

None of them now. That line is out-dated. I have either removed or remade all the free to use Spiral arms sprites.

Is there a chance of the frigate version of the Marauder and Brigantine ever returning (I forgot it's name, but visually it was clearly part of the same ship "family")? I would love to be able to field a whole fleet (frigates, destroyers, cruisers, and capitals if we count the Brigand as well although that one if pretty far off) of this ship series since these are the best looking pirate ships among any mods in my opinion.

If there are no plans of ever returning the ship then could you make an older version of the mod available with the assets and code for that ship still present so I could edit it back into the up to date mod for my campaigns?

You'd have to link the ship because I don't recall ever making a frigate sized ship similiar to Marauder and Brigantine.

And yeah, Brigand is sort of similiar shape to those two but it's visually meant to be more similiar to Buffalo Mk2 with bare metal being the main colour scheme. Brigand is actually inspired by the pirate capital ship from X3 (which is called Brigantine funnily enough). I actually have thought of swapping the names around for the Brigantine and Brigand tbh.

Also, your only hope for old versions is if someone else has them.

I think it was called Carnal, and was removed in 0.1.98
"Changelog:BSC 0.1.97.6:
Added Carnal Light Frigate"

I remember that for sure it was one of these ships listed here (Probably the Carnal if I remember correctly"):
"BSC 0.1.98:
I've also taken the chance to remove alot of smaller ships I didn't like or felt were pointless. There are less ships now but what is left should be higher quality.

Removed Herma and all variants (First ship I ever made so hard choice to make)
Removed Piranha (LC) and its Torpedo.
Removed Altia.
Removed Traveller.
Removed Carnal and Carnal (P)
Removed Robber
Removed Covetor and Covetor (P)
Removed Ignis and all variants"
