Any good 'hard' modes with United Aurora Fed. mod?
« on: September 01, 2022, 02:34:17 AM »



I recently found UAF mod and installed it with nexelin. I' running full UAF ships fleet.

It was very good, but there's one problem.


Maybe it's just me, but I feel UAF ships and armory is too overpowered compared to vanilla ships and weapons, making usual bounty hunting too easy.

Is there any good mod that increases difficulty of enemies, or adding harder enemies?
Or anything that can help compensate with OP UAF things and make gameplay feel balanced and fair.


I'm currently using : Nexelin(installed recently, so don't know well about this big? mod), UAF(same here), Interstellar Imperium, Diable Avionics.

First off, don't use Semibreves.  They are overpowered.  They're big, they're flashy, and they're meant to entertain.

Second off, don't use the Noveria or Slovernia.  They are overpowered.

After that, I don't know what to tell you.  The ships aren't that overpowered without the big flashy weapon.  Going after Ordos in Remnant systems is the highest level combat currently.  Just getting two Conquests and some support ships will get me through most bounties with no effort.

Adding Tahlan Shipworks with the Legio Infernalis will curbstomp anything you throw at them once the Daemons fleets start up.  There's even a mode that turns the Legio superpowered for the game, so that might be fun. 

You have my permission to use Semibreves on the Legio.  It's not going to help much.

This man above pretty much said what I would've said,

Some self discipline would be necessary and don't use UAF all end-game stuff on daily basis ( such as Semibreve, Taufan(NX), Super Capitals. ) They're there for you as a tool to breakthrough some seemingly impossible objectives. They're also there for you to have dumb fun too, so dont feel bad for using them.

Remnants will always be a serious threat to UAF ships especially if you tend to overestimate yourself. Their laser beam weaponry will be a menace for you as they're able to keep at distance while pressuring you with constant flux attack.

Modded gameplay-wise.. just about anything goes really, Legio for starters and maybe Apex? I haven't really play against Apex personally but I heard they're very powerful.

The reality is that I miss the fear of facing the Knights Templar.
That mod made the game even in the late game still be afraid to face something.

Thanks for the tips.

And yes, I'm currently avoiding the nuke missiles and supercaps but... you know, it's quite painful when you know two super *** gorgeous capital ship exists and not using it intentionally...(I know many players love OP ship pew pew simulator but definitely not my case) and my Aurorian mission givers bully me by trying to show and sell them everytime I go see them to take some missions....  :'(

Checked it briefly and I totally agree you. They seemed so OP and looks like a good opponent to mighty solvernia

I don't know any of the mods you stated. I will search for them thanks. And some enemies that semibreves are useless? Finally some good place a Solvernia can go.
