Jackundors Advanced Arms

version 0.4.0

A simple and quite small weapon and fighter pack. Adds 2 new fighter wings and 9 new weapons to the game. The weapons and fighters are generally accessible to a few of the vanilla factions, from pirates to hegemony, from tri-tachyon to independents.

The mod is save-game compatible

No known issues with 0.96

 

Here are the new Instruments of death

Pike SBM

A mid to long range kinetic strike missile. Delivers a hefty punch against enemy shields but has extra damage reduction against armor and hull

A burst-firing, ammo dependant high-explosive beam.

Crossbow LRM

A long range missile somewhat similar to the pilum. Less EMP but Energy damage. Fires an energy bolt when near it's target

A medium version of the Locust SRM. Produces approximately 40% of it's volume of fire

Gravitonic Multidisruptor

Short range large energy weapon that deals kinetic damage.

Medium version of the Multidisruptor. Less efficient and less range

Hammer Repeater

Medium version of the Hammer torpedo, low ammo and high firerate

Fighters

Stormwind Kinetic Support Fighter

Decently maneouverable and durable. Built around a modified light needler.

Not working on anything currently bc i want to actually play the game but maybe in the future

Welcome to the modding club.

"I want to play the game". Starts a new playthrough. "Oh, this would be a cool mod idea". Plays 60 more seconds. "I can make it work like this". 5 more seconds. "Need to try it out." Alt+F4, fire up IDE spend next few days coding.

Pray for salvation, for this will become your routine. I haven't finished GA questline or get spoiler ship since 0.95a dropped

Oh, i already got plenty ideas for another mod long before i finished this one. The temptation to start a bigger mod immediately after this one is strong

[Jackundor]

i haven't tried it with 0.95.1a yet, so if there are any problams, tell me.

[Jackundor]

New Update

I Reworked the Pike quite a bit and also did some work on the Crossbow.
Apart from that this Update mostly focuses on Changes to Price and Usage by AI fleets

[darkond2100]

mod_info still says "gameVersion":"0.95a-RC14"

[Jackundor]

forgot to say yesterday evening but new update is out

[kehnneh]

On Linux, this mod fails to load resources from graphics/weapons/Shotguns because it is looking for resources in the path graphics/weapons/shotguns (Shotguns -> shotguns). Renaming the directory to use lower-case "shotguns" fixes the issue.

noted, will fix next update, although that will probably be a while

[SirFuzzWuzz]

The crossbow is real cool.

[Jackundor]

yeah so, since this is a pretty simple weapon and fighter mod it's highly unlikely to be incompatible with 0.96

i can't actually test it bc i'm busy with life and suck ass at testing anyways, so if there are any problems write them here or dm me on discord

[Jackundor]

Btw, i haven't yet played 0.96 but when i update JAA the next time the hammer repeater will most likely be removed. With the Jackhammer vanilla now has a medium hammer. Also it's too expensive for it's power and the sprite is pretty bad

[Jackundor]

yeah so i'll probably have to do a token update since it's 2 updates out of date now... i doubt anything will break bc this mod is really small and simple, but if anything does just post here
