Re: Changing Nexus - Hullmods and factions - 1.0.1

I'm not a big fan that most hullmods have strong negatives. They are competing with OP that can be used with the good, flat bonus vanilla hullmods and/or flux. I feel that custom hullmods need try following on the footsteps of SO, strong negatives require strong positives, otherwise I'll just skip on the hullmod.

In this sense, I tried to balance the hullmods, for not making them overpower, I tested everyone against vanilla vessels, and the results was good. But, I can rebalance for better so, thanks for the feedback.

 ??? ... isn't 'Travel Customization' simply a better form of 'Augmented Drive Field'?

As in, +3 burn for 30 OP instead of +2 burn for 40 OP (assuming a large capital ship).

These ships look pretty interesting. Also a Doom variant that heals itself slowly? That's absurdly broken. I want it.
Bushido has a nice color scheme to it and speed focused ships don't seem to bad. I'll give this mod a try since I'm starting a new run pretty soon anyway.

I do sort of agree with this though. To an extent. I looked at the hullmods and some seem reasonable, others are a little too far in my opinion. More missiles for the removal of cargo holds? Wouldn't be all that bad, but that's still a somewhat variable price to pay. A non-combat price at that. Sometimes somewhat steep depending on the ship. I would think that combat hullmods should have only combat pros and cons, not out of combat ones. As for the armored missiles, reduced damage by a hefty 25% is a pretty hefty price to pay on your very limited ammo, even if you opt out of having cargo holds. Seems like adding more armor would make more shrapnel, so maybe it would be fair to just replace a portion of the damage with fragmentation damage? Still not a cool thing to pay, but it's not outright deleting damage.

The scatter targeting device seems like it would be a bit too good though. It's quite uncommon for anything to have a flat damage boost in a hullmod. I haven't tried it out, so who knows, but 25% more damage for 10% less range on any energy weapon seems like it would make energy weapons sling way too much pain better than anything else could dream of. Especially with some of the large energy weapons. Then use high energy focus, it would just melt basically anything.

Although I will give all this mod a shot and more than likely write another long winded comment about my experience. Also if all of the things I have said about your hullmods are exactly the way you want them to be, that's okay. All the ones I have not mentioned seem relatively in the right place or I would have to try them out before saying anything on it.

So is no one going to mention that the Bushido symbol is directly ripped from NFS: Carbon? Is this even allowed?

Heyo, thanks for your feedback! So, the armored missile warheads (the one that reduces damage by 25%), it allows more chance to the missile hits the target, it doubles missile hitpoints, at cost of some damage reduction, I think thats fair. About hullmods that have pros in combat, and cons in logistic, thats a way to not make it overpower, you can expand even more missile racks, but you need to remove the cargo holds for the munition, for example.

And about the Doom, its not broken, it trades the whole armour for hull regeneration, if it encounter kinectic or fragmentation weapons, you are screwed, and there is a hullmod that compensates the phase coil stresses from normal phase ships. Those variations are not compatible with it.

Yeah, I wanted to praise this game with this addon, just this bro, and I talked already with people about this, gotta remove the music, symbol and even the name I gonna change. If thats legal? The images and such, yesh, the music? Is better to remove it.

Edit: Already removed things related to EA and/or Need for Speed Carbon, the faction is now called Takeshido, and new versions will fix the ship paintjobs out there, removing any symbol from Bushido
