Notes:

- The midline ships are available to Independents, Mercenaries, Persean League, Sindrian Diktat (except Carnage) and all factions that know midline_bp blueprint package
- The high-tech ships are available to Independents, Mercenaries, Tri-Tachyon (except Eventide) and all factions that know the hightech_bp blueprint package
- The low-tech ships are available to Independents, Mercenaries, Luddic Church, Hegemony (only faction with Sepulcher and Chrasseus) and all factions that know the lowtech_bp blueprint package
- [REDACTED] will use the Pulsar
- Sepulcher and Chrasseus are probably unbalanced in heavily-modded runs; if you wish to remove it from AI factions, navigate to MissileShipOverhaul\data\hulls\ship_data.csv and delete lowtech_bp and hegemony from the Tags column in Sepulcher's/Chrasseus' row (probably doesn't work in existing saves since factions can't forget blueprints iirc)
- Pillager has Orion Drive system that uses a custom pusher plate sprite
- Hullmods are not included in the mod_package_missileships blueprint package, but have to be found separately (as of 1.0.7)
- You can find the blueprint for these ships while exploring (e.g. research stations, tech mining)
- If you want to spawn the blueprint and have the "Console Commands" mod, type: addspecial mod_package_missileships
- Balance-wise, these ships are either A-tier or S-tier in the player's hands
- The AI doesn't use all missile equally well; it doesn't spam sabots as much as it should, sometimes isn't aggressive enough to use torpedoes properly and likes to waste half its harpoons on frigates that can dodge most of them (although it's very good with harpoons against cruisers/capital ships) so the missiles you use matter

The mod seems great but for some reason I can't open .ship files with ship&weapon editor, I only get blank page, any help? Also I dont want AI use these ships but I want to be able to buy it from markets, will deleting the faction file is enough for that? Thanks

I can't open .ship files with ship&weapon editor, I only get blank page, any help?

you also need to open the ship sprite (found in MOD/graphics/ships/xxxxx.png) before the ship & weapon editor will display it. alternatively, you can open .ship and .variant files with Notepad++

I dont want AI use these ships but I want to be able to buy it from markets, will deleting the faction file is enough for that? Thanks 

ai factions use ships that are listed as parts of blueprint packages said factions have access to. ai factions also only sell ships that they know how to build, meaning it's impossible to have them both not use ships and sell those same ships (as far as i know).
regarding this mod, all ships are part of the midline_bp blueprint package, which a lot of factions have access to. if you want to change this, you need to navigate to MOD/data/hulls/ship_data.csv and open it with MS Excel or some other spreadsheet viewing software. once you open it, find the tags column and delete midline_bp from every ship while leaving mod_bp_missileships intact. deleting midline_bp will remove the ships from the midline package, while leaving mod_bp_missileships in will keep the ships obtainable only through the custom package blueprint, which you can find while exploring or through tech mining, and which the ai factions do not have access to.
although, you might need to start a new game for these changes to apply, since i don't know if you can remove blueprints from the ai in an ongoing save.
also, the downside of doing this is that you'll only be able to build the ships if you own a colony with heavy industry (custom production) or buy it from the markets of your own colonies after you learn the blueprint.

Cool mod 

fyi, Diktat Enhancement already uses Vanquisher for one of it's ships, and I think another mod might do as well. If that's of any concern.

thanks for the info, i'll rename it in the next update.
coming up with interesting names that haven't already been taken is pretty hard lol.

[TheDeviL234]

Full changelog for update 1.2.4:

- Added Pontiff midline heavy cruiser
- Renamed Vanquisher to Instigator
- Decreased flux dissipation penalty for Dual-Purpose Capacitor Banks from 20% to 10%
- Decreased flux dissipation penalty for Overclocked Targeting Processor from 15% to 10%
- Changed default variant small missile weapon groups from Linked to Alternating fire for all ships with small missile hardpoints
- Increased Zeal flux capacity from 2000 to 2500 and hull from 1500 to 1750 (now it's the same as vanilla 0.96a Vigilance)
- Reduced Achlys ordnance points from 120 to 100
- Reduced Vertex ordnance points from 200 to 180
- Adjusted Achlys and Vertex default variants to fit new OP values (both ships have 1 less hullmod)

This version is not save-game compatible if you are updating from 1.2.3 or earlier,
unless you replace every mention of Instigator back to Vanquisher in
-MSO\data\hulls\mod_ship_instigator.ship
-MSO\data\hulls\ship_data.csv
-MSO\data\strings\descriptions.csv
-MSO\data\variants\mod_instigator_variant.variant
-MSO\data\world\factions\default_ship_roles.json
(it takes 3-5 minutes to do if you really want to update and keep your current saves)

Finally, a mod where I can go fullfill my Honor Harrington dreams.

[BirdWanderer]

I'd recommend checking out the taken names spreadsheet, as a few of these names are taken by other mods.

Hi, I like this MOD, torpedoes and missiles are truly romantic for space warfare in my opinion, thanks for your creation. Can you allow me to publish it to Chinese forum and translate it? I will keep the author information and the original link.
And, Due to the incomplete translation of the Starsector 0.96 , Can I simultaneously publish ver 1.0.9 to there? I am currently using this version, so you do not need to upload it again.
Although my English proficiency is extremely limited and I have to use mechanical translation, I will do my best to polish and correct when translating into Chinese.
Sincerely pay respects again.

yes. btw, instead of using 1.0.9, you can use 1.2.6 that i changed here to work with 0.95.1a starsector. (it doesn't have 0.96a ships - Pulsar, Sepulcher, Pillager). haven't done much testing on it, but it should work.

[Tebor]

@TheDeviL234 and by extension @Kylin.S.508 or anyone still having a backup of version 1.0.9

Got a bit too excited by:

- 1.2.6 - Completely remade Atomizer, removed 2 of its medium turrets & 4 small missile mounts and altered some stats (save-compatible with previous versions)
(If you are still playing 0.95.1a Starsector, use this version of the mod instead: MSO 1.2.6-0.95.1a)

If there would be an opportunity to get a link to version 1.0.9 of MSO, it would be highly appreciated.

The mod itself is great stuff all around for missile fans!
