If you are using
Second In Command or
What We Left Behind, please ensure they are up to date to avoid crashes.
This Remnant focused mod seeks to make the faction a true challenge for the late game, while offering the player a chance to try out unique technologies on captured and modified drone ships. The mod also adds new content for the Sindrian Diktat, Tri-Tachyon, Persean League, Independents, and new missions with unique rewards to challenge the player.
Warning: Fights against the Remnant may become extremely hard, especially if you do not have many other Remnant related mods installed. Pick your battles carefully. If you find the battles too difficult, you can make adjustments in
LunaLib settings. Cross-mod content for Second In Command, Hazard Mining Incorporated, and Random Assortment of Things can also be toggled there.
Emergent Threats: IX RevivalAs of v0.3+, Emergent Threats now comes bundled with the 9th Domain Battlegroup
standalone mod. This antagonist faction was first created in the now abandoned
Arsenal Expansion mod by Inventor Raccoon, and has been revived with permission. Both ET mods can be used independently, but will interact with each other with extra content. Note that if you are running a bootleg version of Arsenal Expansion, you should disable the original's battlegroup in its mod settings to avoid two versions of the faction spawning at the same time.

Spoiler
-Command Subroutine AI captains spawned by Adaptive Tactical Core hullmod may occasionally fail to appear or disappear immediately. Switching ships should fix the issue.
-On very rare occasions the Orthrus DEM will circle a target indefinitely without firing or despawning, or hover near a target without colliding properly.
-Selecting your own ships in Nexerelin start for the IX Battlegroup can sometimes randomly give you an Honor Guard version for ships used by both the regular Fleet and Honor Guard.
-The Reactive Combat Shields hullmod is intended for regular shield styles, and will override shield colors that do not adhere to the low/mid/high-tech standard on equipped ships
-Interdictor Pulse may behave oddly on rare occasions. This is due to a workaround for a display bug in the core game
-(Experimental Hullmods) Automated ships that have been modified by Experimental Hullmods may gain access to adaptive subsystem hullmods even if they technically do not qualify for them
-Solar Shield s-mod refunded OP is not displayed on the fitting window. This is an engine limitation of the core game.
-Shipwide adaptive subsystems may sometimes appear or disappear when they shouldn't. Clicking away and back should fix the issue.
-Some hullmods added to a ship by other hullmods may display their name in the wrong color. Clicking away and back should fix the issue.
-(Take No Prisoners) Some mission officers will not display their skills correctly when captured. They will display their proper skills after recruiting or a reload.

Adaptive SubsystemsUnique one-per-ship Remnant hullmods that enhance ship performance, often in unusual ways.
They are dynamically added to all Remnant ships encountered by the player, even those from other mods.
Also includes new Emergent Technologies hullmods that will modify your ships in unique and interesting ways.
Many more existing variants of Remnant ships have been refit, making them much more challenging in fleet battles. Revisions have also been made to Sindrian Diktat and Tri-Tachyon doctrine, making Lion's Guard ships more commonplace and available on the market, and Tri-Tachyon carriers more prevalent.

- To Hunt a White Whale: Face off against a pirate queen for a chance to gain a set of unique blueprints.
- High and Mighty: Crash a black market arms deal between a smuggler and the Diktat Navy.
- Shattered Fortress: Preserve the peace by striking against a Lion's Guard secret weapon.
- Gaining Vantage: Track down a mysterious ghost ship and learn its secrets.
- A Diamond in the Dark: Begin the hunt for the dark mover at the center of the enemies you have faced.
- Cleaning up a Mess (requires HMI): Chase down rumors of a gate activation and face off against an unusual enemy.
- A Theory of Mind (requires IX Revival): Investigate a strange meeting between numerous AI drones.

- Disables Expanded Deck Crew, Rescue Shuttle on automated ships.
