Showcase of Ships and Weapons (To be updated with latest stuff)

Spoiler

[close]

The Great Collapse brought a new threat to the now isolated sector, bands of a previously unheard of, green-skinned Alien race begin to attack explorers and scavengers on the fringe rim of the sectors. These vicious creature seems to be at first nothing more than pirates in ramshackle ships that should not even be able to fly, but quickly proven to be much more sophisticated than they first seem.

In the years that follows, these aliens have made their name as ruthless pirates and scavengers, however, they were, until now, a curious nuisance to the major powers of the sector. Whilst ork pirate bands have gotten larger and even mingled with some human pirates, they never had the ability to take on a military fleet head on.

That is about to change.

Features

A Mod that brings Orks from the 40k universe into the Persean Sector in a semi vanilla-friendly manner. This mod currently adds two Ork Clans (Evil Sunz and Deathskulls) with a series of both looted vanilla vessels and more original constructions, and their ship sometime appearing with pirates. These comes with a corresponding set of Orky Hullmods, Weapons and LPCs. One unique bounty with associated unique ship. Some of the orky arsenal and ships will also be available to the pirates.

The faction focuses on generally ramshackle ships that favors high speed, brutal close quarter combat and burst damage. (As any Evil Sunz will tell ya, Going fast and Krumpin' stuff iz da best!)

Many weapon and hullmods having powerful or strange effects but also potentially deadly downsides. The ork's strange psychic ability improves the combat ability and reliability of ships in great numbers, making their otherwise ramshackle warship more effective in great swarms. 

Overtime, we look to adds additional ships, weapons, and factions based on the other Ork clans into the mod.

Some Design Thoughts
Turns out translating a bunch of mod gets one interested in trying to do some modding of their own. As a long time warhammer fan and ork player almost two decades, trying to bring the Orks to the Sector seems like a great excuse towards my limited spriting skills place to start!

There have been some excellent junker ship styles on the forums, and I thought to take a slightly different approach by focusing on the diversity of both fighting style and paintjob provided by the various Ork Clans in the setting, as a result this mod will be a bit more focused on bringing that aspect of Orky Kultur to the sector.

This is a Starsector mod first and foremost and I will not be strictly adhering to Battlefleet Gothic and 40k lore, and there will be some liberty in how I inject some proppa orkiness into the game, but I do hope you can find some good ol' orky fun within. This is our first starsector mod so any feedback and comment are appreciated as well.

Will this work with battlefleet gothic mod fro maccuracythruvolume?

Will this work with battlefleet gothic mod fro maccuracythruvolume?

There should be no reason why it would not as a stand alone faction mod, however it is made independently of that mod so for example orks there will not use weapon or ships from this mod and vice versa.

[Himemiko]

boss, we finally managed to fix her.. this time nothing can go wro-

[dinnerchief]

Is this safe to be added safely to ongoing saves?

[Mycophobia]

Is this safe to be added safely to ongoing saves?

As a faction mod I would not recommend adding them mid-save, the faction will not spawn and there maybe unforseen issues/bugs. Some of their stuff will spawn with pirates so those should show up as normal.

(Should go without saying but this cannot be safely removed from a save)

[Meelock]

Would be neat if this added PROCGEN content, just immagining either orc pirate bases spawning occasionally or looted systems (probably best to have a couple unexplored crafted systems rather than procgen). Looking forward to where this goes. Grats!

[samuell.sk]

When will be the orks ships added ?

[Hexallium]

(Me, with over 20 faction mods in the game...)
Adding one more won't hurt the game, right?

[Mycophobia]

When will be the orks ships added ?

They will be their own faction on a new game, some of their ship will also spawn into pirate fleets.

not what i meant, i can see on the showcase some modified hegemony ships mostly, so i was wandering since this is alpha, when will the orks be added to the mod ?
you know ork ships like hammer battlekroozer , kill kroozers , maybe a bounty in a form of space hulk...etc... these kind of a ships.

good miko_es, love from Gensoukyou Manufacture :-)

As mentioned in design note, I do not plan to bring over battlefleet gothic ships (at least not as bfg replica). Ork ships are hardly standard construction in any case, what BFG may classify as a Kill Kroozer could be a large variety of ork ships either ramshackling built or looted from the imperium, for example. So what I try to do is more  a mix of ships pieced together with parts the Ork looted from the Persean sector, or just captured and modified Persean sector ships.

What I will try to add more are ships that are more originally orky ship (that isn't a clearly looted version of vanilla ships, there are few examples of these in the mod already, but I do want to have more) alongside more regular looted ships, and probably make the looted variant a bit more distinct from their base counter part. Also depending on permission I would be happy to do some "looted" version of ships from other mod, notably there are already a few looted Gensoukyou ships in the roster.

[Mycophobia]

Here are some preview for the upcoming.

Since the general feedback ive been getting is that the faction is a bit on the conservative and weaker end, I will be strengthening them a bit as well as adding 3 new ships and a few new weapon types.

A looted manticore will give the current destroyer line a bit more punch over looted freighters, and a ork mega-bommer with a  system that randomly unload various orky bombs and rocket at target can serve as a stronger offensive crusier. Lastly I thought I might as well make the ork cargo/tanker ship into a giant flame thrower so da boyz on them wont get bored in a proper scrap. 

Gonna be doing a bit more testing and see if I can fit anything else in an update, but it should be coming shortly.

[HereticKannon]

Good stuff! I like the Orky theme and I'm excited for the new update.
