As a super ship connoisseur, I absolutely love me some overpowered tin cans, but Phantasmagoria feels busted even by my skewed standards.

Based on the fact that it's a one-of-a-kind, starter-only ship that's unlocked by a mission, I assume it's meant to be your Excelsior, but the Excelsior also comes with the huge negative of making you develop a new set of piloting instincts, plus its performance is heavily reliant on the surrounding projectile count and power. Phantasmagoria on the other hand just plays like the result of an unholy matrimony between Hyperion and Scarab.

Not complaining, by the way. This post is both a signal to my fellow super ship enjoyers and a warning to those who are afraid of wielding too much power: Phantasmagoria is insane.

-- Timescale multiplier reduced from 4.5 to 4
-- Repair bonuses are weaker, and after the first few seconds they (and the defense bonus) drop off to a lower level that also scales based on current Hardflux level.
>-- With these changes the ship should cement it's role towards being something of a "glass cannon" that wants to stay in the thick of things to keep its Hardflux levels high, but is somewhat vulnerable to EMP and can find itself flux limited as it has to work with only a portion of its flux bar when maintaining high Hardflux levels.

- Lanner (P)

-- Armour from 1000 to 1100

- Nebel

- Altered Default Ship roles for various vessels, spawn rates should be more towards intended levels

Phantasmagoria is insane.

Hopefully the changes i have made will make the insanity be in a more reasonable dose.

Thanks for the mod! I love the ships and some of their systems. Question: Does the AURA system get modified by missile hull mod like ECCM package and torpedo spec? Or it is not considered as missles? Thanks!

[Jade Tendency]

I assume the phantasmagoria is unobtainable apart from the start option.

They should be modified by any/all hullmods/skills/etc that apply to missiles.

You would be correct.

I have no plans to add any more playable ArkTech ships.

I will make a few humble remarks. It's a nice, solid set of ships, options, and miscellaneous content that's fun to look for. The only remark concerns the Arc ships. They are excellent in their balance - strong enough - but not too strong - and they are fun to play with. Excellent mechanics of weapons and systems. But IMHO they need some tweaking of the sprites. It's a little annoying that the weapon and the ship itself merge into a poorly observed mess - the shooting animation and structural elements are hard to see.
By itself, the set of ships and the mission that offers them is very intriguing. I suggest to the respected creator to make a faction that the player will help spawn or save their Ark through a series of simple quests.
Also, the appearance of a super-frigate and a super-destroyer in the game, not only as a starting option, would be good - for example, to give them some kind of synergy to arc ships, so that strike groups would be formed under their leadership.

P.S.: also this lol

This seems to break magic bounties. Having it active causes the bounty board not to show up, ab when checking with console commands magic bounties returns no loaded bounties.

Mods active during testing: Lazylib; Magiclib; Console Commands; Seeker-Unidentified Contact (to spawn magic bounties) and this mod.
Removing this mod causes the Seeker bounties to spawn correctly

EDIT: It looks like its possible to roll this mod back to 0.5, to get the magic bounties back. Or at least it doesnt cause the game to crash

I tweaked weapon sprites in 0.6, so they are sharper and stand out more.

ArkTech will not be getting a faction in-game, it wouldn't fit my vision for them.

And to address your third point:

As of version 0.6.3, taking the "Destroy Anomalous Vessel" bounty crashes the game. Seems like it can't find the associated portrait of the bounty.

[gentulf]

Mod info file is incorrect, it still has "0.6.2" version field.
