I love the Versant-Class from Diable Avionics but...
« on: December 02, 2021, 10:10:34 AM »

I love the Versant-Class from Diable Avionics Corporation but I prefer the Blackrock Drive Yards artstyle.
So i'm making a ship with Versant mechanics but with a BDY style.  :D

The Gun sprite is finished. It will be an animated part like the Harvest Gun from the original Versant-Class.

What about making a faction from that idea? Blackrock Avionics

This looks neat. There should be more mini-mods out there that just do one little thing.

(I mean, I certainly wouldn't turn down a faction made in this style. But at the same time, faction mods are massive undertakings, and I'd like to see this in-game sooner rather than later.)

Speaking of - would you find it useful to have code to automatically mirror weapons? I've got that handy - part of a larger project I've been working on, but that bit stands on its own just fine.

Wyvern is 100% correct about the math.

Automatically mirror weapons? You mean fix the Hellbore for symmetry enthusiasts? We needed that as soon as you completed it!

Nice outline, I will be watching this thread with interest.

I'm pretty sure I saw a mod somewhere that symmetrize all weapons already.

This is what a BDY Versant should look like. Some ajustements will be necessary to make the transformation convaincing - Parts and components are not supposed to merge.

Looks pretty nice! Do you plan on posting a gif of it in battle?  Would be interesting.

Also, was it just a one ship thing, or will there be other similar projects?

It's not a bad idea but i have no plans to make an entire faction yet. Btw, this is the first time I make a Starsector mod.

Of course I will.

For now, it's just a mini-mod for just one ship. Maybe there will be other similar projects, maybe not. I can't be sure.

After some modification and a huge nerf on the Bersant, i have the feeling that it's still too powerfull. In fact, because of the flux dissipation and the Converted Flux Radiator build-in mod, firing weapons don't generate enough flux. I thought reducing a lot the shield efficiency would have been a good compensation but i was wrong. I should decrease the flux reduction (from 90% to 75%)

This is absolutely amazing. Has anyone ever managed to get the files for this project or is it lost to the sands of time forever?
