Download Mod (1.9)Requires:LazyLibMagicLibSupportsCommissioned CrewsStarship LegendsCombat ChatterNexerelinIndustrial.EvolutionKyeltziv Technocracy is a Faction Mod that includes a selection of ships and weapons with a focus on drone shipsystems and long range combat.
Gameplay Guide
Faction Overview:
- A focus on long range fire, helped by the fact that with their integral hullmod their ships will typically outrange opponents.
- Vulnerable to flanking by merit of very narrow shield arcs and limited weapons coverage to the sides and rear.
- Drones on all ships that either provide fire support, or grant some sort of buff while deployed.
Ships:
- Efficient, but narrow shields making them excel in line warfare, but are vulnerable to flanking.
- Limited numbers of weapon mounts, this is compensated to an extent by having above average quality weaponry, but they can suffer from an extended time to kill.
- Carriers have limited numbers of flight decks, but Kyeltziv Strikecraft LPCs can typically compensate for this by being above average in performance.
- Rather decent armour, but poor hull.
- Drone shipsystems will slowly rebuild lost drones, so it can be a perfectly reasonable tactic to use them as ablative armour against inbound torpedoes or other high-damage munitions.
- Some ships are cheap to maintain and deploy for their hull size but typically lack in armament in exchange. These ships can work well to help fill out the battle line or act as escorts and prevent more valuable vessels from being flanked.
- Phase vessels receive improved ballistic weapon performance as hard flux goes up, encouraging you to deliver a decisive blow when you attack, as it can be hard to retreat safely when high on hard flux.
Weapons:
- Ballistics tend towards longer ranges, and are typically highly efficient at suppression, but in general have relatively poor capability against heavier armour.
- Missile weapons cover a variety of roles, the Kinetic and HE options exist to support your primary ballistic armament in dealing with that which it suffers against.
- The Thap and Vedha line of missile weapons are general purpose support weapons, with regenerating ammo, making them valuable in protracted engagements, but are a mix of highly specialised and poor damage output.
- A couple of ships feature a built in Shock-Driver, a long ranged kinetic cannon with limited guidance, while vulnerable to PD weaponry they can also deliver a sizable EMP effect on hull impacts.
- All but one of their energy weapons are PD options, with the dischargers being a cheap option, and the stutter beam, graviton sweeper and smart blaster being more effective systems.
Fighters:
- High craft count per wing, but in exchange have much higher OP costs than most more common wings.
- The corvette wings are very much on the high end for OP costs and unlike other Kyeltziv strikecraft you only get one or two per wing, but they are very durable for fighters and pack impressive weapon loads.
- All fighters are unmanned drones, that have reduced engagement range over more common fighters.
Specialisation Hullmods
These allow for customization of Kyeltziv vessels, with a focus on specific combat roles.
- The Assault Package is a departure from typical Kyeltziv doctrine, sacrificing weapon range for speed and improved armour.
- The Support Package focuses on shield effectiveness and point defense capability, making a ship more capable of holding the line of fire against all kinds of threats.
- The Siege Package improves venting and resistance to kinetic damage in exchange for removed mobility, very much a tradeoff to install but very effective on backline vessels that are flux limited.
- The Assault Loader increases ballistic damage output and flux efficiency, in exchange for reduced performance against armour and increased shot spread, good for pure aggression at shorter ranges.
- The Siege Loader increases ballistic per-shot damage, range and velocity, in exchange for lower fire rate and reduced flux efficiency, ideal for long range suppressive bombardment.
- The Autoforge Loader increases shipsystem drone rebuild rate, and improves missile rate of fire, damage and munition health, a situational choice that is best for carriers or vessels that otherwise focus more heavily on missiles.
- For being a help with script errors, spriting tips and assorted balance feedback.
