You're right, man. It is mainly designed for battleship (especially one with ammofeeder). Cruisers can use it but they will have a tough time coup with flux. And it already has better damage per flux than most, if not all, vanilla weapons. I think you will have a better time using it "alternate" (not linked). Still, if you want to test something out you can try adjusting the flux cost under "mod/Musashi Manufactorum/data/weapons/weapon_data.csv".

Just let me know what you found if you try it. My current run mainly consists of ships from my mod and they seem fine so far but this might not be the case for other ships.

Loving these.

I have noticed an issue where the AI really likes to crowd these together. I don't need to set an escort order for my flagship as at least 3 ships end up bouncing off of my shields constantly anyways. If I recall there is an avoidance radius you set in the ship tool, maybe that is too small?

Thanks, man, I just check and the collision radius seems correct. I think the issue might come from the weapon range. Usually, the ships tend to spread out a little so they can shoot. But with most of the ship having Advance Targeting Core, they don't have to move much and tends to stay away from the enemy range. If the enemy spread around, it will cause these ships to cluster together in the middle. I will test out some more and see what can I do with it.

please consider splitting your one giant presentation image into separate per-ship images
it already doesn't fit horizontally into the forum post on most monitors, and not all browsers actually display horizontal scrollbar

Any and ALL sprites i ever posted on this forum are FREE to use. even if i'm using them myself. Don't ever, EVER ask for permission, or i will come to your home and EAT YOUR DOG!!!
i do NOT want to see my name appear in the credits section of any published mod and will consider it a personal insult.

Sure bro. I will look into it. I wasn't familiar with forum and bb code and I figure one picture is the easiest when I start.

Please add this mod to the mod Index page, I'm fairly certain most users use that to look up mods, and overlook this one...

Hey Guys,

It has been a while. For the next update, I will add a ship or two. And work on redesign variation for pirates. The initial idea is the pirate variation will have more "larger" mounts but less "smaller" mounts. I will also update the ship list on the main post.

While that does sound like a fun idea I'd advise caution with it to try and avoid making the Pirate versions just better.  As that's been an issue for a few pirate versions.  One option could be to change the ship weapon system to a non ammo feeder power that way the additional large mounts won't be as large of a power spike?  More making them a side / down grade?

thanks for the advice man. I agree that the balancing is going to be tough. And the design also.

Really enjoying the mod
I'm about to start editing my first ever youtube video (I changed my username to match the youtube personality name)
The video actually shows two of your ships in action

When it's done and uploaded I can send you a link if you want me to

so i have been taking a break from the video editing in light of looking for a part time job to keepme afloat, as well as practicing my music and getting ready to possibly to guitar lessons, AND getting my personal brand on teespring utilizing my art up and running (im doing "way too much" but hey, i like it that way)
i have a personal wish list, which you may or may not be interested in
its pretty short really

it would be really cool if you make a version of this mod that is (stats wise) compatible with the archean order total conversion

totally understand if youd rather just keep updating/upgrading vanilla style content

if that is the case, can i have persmission to change the stats of the ships to make them more in line with the archean order total conversion?
all i would be doing (since i dont know how to sprite) is changing the stats so that they line up properly

everything is done much differently in archean order

since the beta was just released, i highly recommend giving it a go: it is quite interesting the changes that have been made to the mechanics and how everything works

either way cheers!  thanks for the great creation and i look forward to any thoughts you may have when i finally launch my channel!

also, as a huge fan of mechs and suits, the new bushi is VERY COOL

Sup bro, thanks again for reaching out. You can go ahead and try updating the stats for Archeon Order. If you're please with what you have, you can send me to have it uploaded here as an additional option. My company is closing the office here in Thailand and I'm quite busy organizing everything so It will be a while for me to upload the next patch. Anyway, I want to show you what I got so far.
