Pirate Mini Mod



I always feel that once you hit a certain point you are no longer really surprised by pirates.
Their roster is limited and their few ships are either weak or just repaints of existing hulls. This alongside mod power creep often renders the faction a minor annoyance or time sink even in the mid game.

This is a mod meant to make pirates more unique, unhinged, and ambitious. As of now changes are simple but I plan to evolve the mod over time as I learn or get help.

Vanilla Ship Edits

Spoiler

I've noticed changes in pirate designs over time. The classic red and black paint has evolved to favor more diverse colors and hull modifications, like the Cerberus versus the Vanguard, or the Colossus versus the Eradicator.

I've updated some of the vanilla pirate ships to be visually more interesting and also tweaked their mechanics, aiming to make them stand out and feel fresh again.


Colossus (P)
<sub>(Vanilla)(New)

Swarm</sub>



Colossus (LP)
<sub>(Vanilla)(New)

I couldn't help myself</sub> 


Venture (P)
<sub>(Vanilla)(New)

Enforcer (P)

PMM Crossmod

Spoiler

A concept I've been wanting to try for while, PMM crossmod allows pirate variants, bounties, and bosses to be automatically added with the use of other mods! This allows some integration with the greater modiverse (Without forcing unwanted modded content on users) and gives players a catered reward simply for playing with their modlist!

If you're interested in PMM crossmod for your mod let me know!

1.5.0 (Update)

Spoiler

Hello! Sorry for the lack of content or fixes work has been taking most of my time. Most of my attention directed at modding has been on helping with another project while the the rest has been towards the next major update. Since I know that's gonna take a good moment why not try to refine what I already have in the hope that it can better stand next to vanilla!?

Major thanks to SelfControl on the forums for testing so much and TouchOfVanilla for help with scripts since I can be a bit of a luddite. Go check out VRI! some cool ideas there and neat stuff in the works.

(Note: This update is not save compatible.)

- Fixes
  - Fixed spawning issues with the Prometheus Mk3
  - Hopefully fixed issues with automatic Pirate Modification application
  - Fixed some small mistakes / oversights
  - Cleaned up depreciated hulls

    - Smod Ballistic flux generation decreased by 10%
    - Slightly lowered malfunction chance penalty

  - Manticore (P) Breach SRM Autoloader
    - Reload size decreased to 2 (Was 4)
    - Burst size decreased to 6 (Was 8 )
    - Ammo Capacity decreased to 3 (Was 4)

  - Nebula Mk.II

1.6.0 (Update)

Spoiler

Hello again! Work has been hell on my free time but ive been able to make some time to work on this and some other projects! Please feel free to contact me with feedback or problems!

(Note: This update will not be save compatible.)

- Fixes:
  - Revised many descriptions
  - Fixed issue where Atlas Mk.II had doubled mounts
  - Cleaned some more files
  - Fixed crash caused by loading Blasterdrone Wings
  - Fixed possible crash caused by loading Pirate Modification Smod description

- Tweaks:
  - Many new variants and reworks for existing variants (Thanks to Selfcontrol again on the forum for making many of these!)
  - Added many of said variants to the Combat Sim
  - Pirate ships within pirate fleets will now sometimes spawn with Smoded Pirate Modifications (Thank you Kaysaar for help getting the FleetInflator script working!)
  - New visual effect for ships with Smodded Pirate Modifications
  - Manticore (P) Breach SRM Autoloader:
    - Reload size decreased to 1  (Was 2)
  - Atlas Mk.II has been given Advanced Targeting Core as an experiment
    - The Atlas Mk.II has always been a weaker ship filling the role of fire support for a faction that often couldn't support its size and lack of mobility or simply became top heavy with Atlas Mk.II spam causing fleets to collapse. With the inclusion of the Prometheus Mk.III filling the role as fleet anchor/fire support with its higher health and lower speed the already weak Atlas Mk.II became nearly obsolete. This is my reasoning for adding this hullmod alongside the standard Pirate Modifications.

- Updated Sprites:
  - Scarab (P)
  - Brawler (P)
  - Prometheus Mk.III
  - Champion (P)
  - Champion Mk.II

- Added Ships:
  - Vigilance (P) (Thank you Vanilla for script help!)
  - Hammerhead (P)
  - Harbinger (P)
  - Brawler (TT) (P)
  - Centurion (P)
  - Lasher (P)

- Some of the forum post has been rewritten at this point to better describe the mod and better credit those who have helped me thus far.

I like the custom ship additions. Those look great!  The re-sprites are very subtle but I would say an overall improvement. 

My only point of contention: I would like to suggest that you separate the vanilla changes from the new additions and put them into different mod folders.  I was reluctant to try the mod at first since I generally don't like to touch anything that alters vanilla ships.  You won me over with the nice sprite changes, though.

Hey, first of all: great mod, I like your take on some of those alternate vanilla pirate ships.

Second: I was wondering if you planned on making a P version of ships like the Centurion or the Sunder? Both tend to be pretty common, with the Centurion already having a Diktat skin. So it'd make sense for pirates to have gotten their hands on some of those and "modified" their hull, imo.

Hey thank you so much!

So both of those ships are planned alongside some other things. I have an idea for a pirate sunder that sounds cursed and hilarious but the centurion kinda stumps me. Its already an absurdly versatile ship so i cant do too too much outside of an entire gimmick change which I'm not opposed to. Maybe upscale some mounts? idk. It will get added but i just don't want it to be a simple reskin.

[A_Random_Dude]

Got it. Well, I look forward to seeing how things turn out!

[Selfcontrol]

I don't know how I could miss this mod ! I love pirate ships and I'm very glad to see more of them

I have a couple of remarks though :

1. Champion MK2 Weaponized Flux Core needs a better description of its effect. Reading it doesn't make it very clear how it works and it is hard to build the ship without having access to informations such as damages, threshold for trigger, etc. The same goes for the new Pirate Modifications hullmod, a more detailed description would do wonders ;

2. About Pirate Modifications, the effect of this hullmod is brutal for some existing vanilla ships (such as Manticore, it doesn't get anything "spicy", only a nerf and a reduced DP cost doesn't help enough). To me, when I take a look at other vanilla ships (Enforcers, Hounds), it seems that your mod's goal is to give Pirates a more defined character and I'll advise you against giving vanilla ships this hullmod until you can figure out a way of making them more unique ;

3. There's a small typo regarding the Lumen (P). Its name is Lumen (P), FRIGATE Hull (all caps when it shouldn't) ;

4. The Eagle (P) already exists in a different mod (Ship/Weapon pack). If you use both mods, you get 2 instances of Eagle (P). Ship/weapon pack is a very popular mod and I'd advise you, for clarity, to perhaps change its name to avoid confusion ?

Hey I'm glad you like the additions and you make some very good points/recommendations.

1. Adding a proper description is def a priority for the two hullmods for clarity sake. I just have to set up some description parameters in the script

2. Ill see about removing pirate mods on ships i haven't touched (or just finish the rest of the ships). The change was for the sake of consistency but you make a good point. As of now the addition of the hullmod on untouched ships conflicts with the mods vision.

3. So the Lumen designation changing from Droneship to FRIGATE is a bug/mistake I saw a while ago. I'm not sure what causes it but I'm pretty sure I know how to fix it.

4. Ill have to look into spawning issues with both PMM and S&W active. I can make precautions to avoid incompatibilities or weird spawns.


Thank you so much for giving feedback and trying the mod!

Ok so Ive checked the Ship/Weapons pack's files and the only Eagle I see is a boss variant for the bounty board. Are you sure the second Eagle isn't coming from another mod? (Id still like to look into it if you know the mod so i can fix the issue)

Indeed, it was a mistake. It comes from Tahlan Shipworks, another popular mod.

[Wet_Mushroom]

Just wanted to say loving the mod really gives pirates that extra helping hand and these ships are really fun to use. Just wondering if you would add another capital ship to their roster like a scrapheap of the Pegasus.

In the future do you think you would ever touch the luddic path I really like your unique ideas for the ships.
