Ynadar Nexus Alliance

Author: Protonus

Featured:

The Ynadar Alliance was bit of an inside joke to complete the triad of the three primary color factions I was told to do.

And much like the other two factions, it is unbalanced that focuses heavily on a very Midline armada that really hates your guts at long-range with a myriad of missiles and long-ranged weapons.

Rough Lore:

They just explore the outer rim from a far away star system, hate the Persean League and just pay taxes to the Hegemony, nothing much really.

Requirements:
- As of now, it runs free. Much like Blue and Red. Probably.

Strengths:

• Increased base range on all non-missile but faction weapons.
• Hybrid focused, but is very versatile.
• Resistant against High Explosives and Beam weapons.
• Very mid, economically.
• Small Missiles get a near bottomless treatment.
• Long-ranged in-Faction weapons and some missile side grades.

Weaknesses:

• High Deployment cost, meaning less ships active on the field.
• Very mid, for everywhere else.
• Very boring playstyle.

Good to know it's a bit of a joke mod that the developer doesn't take too seriously before downloading. However, isn't the third primary color green?

That's for computer graphics. Green is a secondary color if you mix Blue and Yellow.

[Dadada]

Neat.
Thank you!

This sounds kinda neat. Might check out how the ships play but I may opt to avoid more missile spam.

I hate missile spam. To the point that I've been seriously considering trying to figure out how to program literally anything so I can make my own countermeasures for all the missile spam, or just play the game how I like to play it (the only way I'm capable of playing it) without having to basically skip all the early game skill progression just to be able to avoid dying to 6 suicidal frigates with torpedo launchers.

Nice to hear that I'm not the only person on the planet that ever thinks about long-range guns though. Ships look pretty nice too, even if I can't figure out whether or not I like that exact shade of yellow combined with purple.

Ackchyually, yellow is only the primary color with paint. Green is the primary when it comes to light.

I dunno. Bump update, I guess.

Hi, Protonus!
I wanted to let you know how much I like this faction! It has become one of my absolute favourites.

Even if the faction is not super-balanced for vanilla content (like you already said), it still feel you did a good job giving enough "drawbacks" to the ships, so, in general, even if they have very efficient long range weapons, they usually pay it back by being slow, having narrow shields and not a great armor. Also the fact that they are quite pricy in terms of DP cost, make it possible to outnumber them and flank them. Again, very good job.

The sprites look also very much to my taste, and in general they are all top notch. I'm looking forward to more updates if and when you have the time to work on this mod again.

If it can be of help, I noticed the flag of the faction is missing at the moment. It seems there is a placeholder grey flag instead (similar to the one of the independents) of the beautiful yellow and purple that is shown on your first post here. (You probably are already aware, but I decided to report it just in case).

To conclude I'd like to ask if the ship you showed in the spoiler tag in your last post is already possible to get in game. I thought that maybe could've been a reward for getting max reputation with the contact of the Ynadar Faction on Jandor, but even after getting to the point where I have 100/100 reputation both with the contact and the faction himself while being commissioned, I didn't get any dialogue option to get the ship. Is it perhaps a random High Value Bounty that needs to pop up in a bar, or maybe is just not in the mod yet and you simply showed us a teaser?

Anyway, enough of my rambling and thank you again for your work on the mod, I am really enjoying playing it.
