Hello there, I installed the mod after many years and was testing a lot of different builds and playing with other mods as well (Iron shell, Knights of Ludd, nexerelin and some others). I tested most of the ships, trying different builds. So here some thoughts on some aspects of the Mod overall:
-The Phaze Graze Core Ship System: This system has two different perspectives:
(1)On the Player Ship: Is one of the most potent combat abilities(broken even), that allows the the player two things: (1) Quick movement and (2) Flux control.
Being able to quickly decide when and who you want to engage, get in and get out of range + Drain your Flux for absule FREE (bait the enemy ship to engage, and simply erase part of the flux you have, will never not be funny), makes you feel and in control.
(2)On your officer: Is a quick dash most of the time, and they will waste most of the charges.
-The Micro Missle Launcher: A bit underwhelming, works mostly as to saturate and overwhelmed the ship defense, the damage being negligible 99% of the time, but hey they are infinite.
I wish there was a way to change their behavior, like Versant's fire selector Hull mod, maybe even change the damage type to work better against shields with another Hull mod, just an idea.
-Expanded Magazines: Is on every capital on the fleet. It simply synergizes a bit too well with some weapons on the mod.
-All the wanzer: They are all really fun. Hoar 6th gen is my favorite.
Now a bit about some ships:
-The Maelstrom: This ship is a Duelist and a deadly one. It has clear weakness but it has the tools that manage and overcome. The Phaze Graze Core, makes this ship shine. I'm in love with this ship, and would love the ramble on, but this post is getting a bit to big.
-The Riptide: This thing is like a railgun, never a bad choice. The two fighter bays offer an answer to anything or a flexible tool for whatever you want this ship to do.
-Daze: It has a lot things going for it. Beam weapons works really well on it.But... it is too slow, it hurt so much,honestly it can deal with anything, but is to slow to get to anything. It feels a bit like a midline dominator.
-Polar V: Works well alone, but better with Escort Package. Still testing some loadouts.
I would go into detail, but this is enough for a first post. Thanks for keeping this mod and faction alive.
