High Value Bounty Integration

Whats Included?

Two factions, one a fully fledged militaristic and zealous faction focused on heavy armor and formation warfare. Ships and weapons that range from utilitarian to exotic with their own internally consistent design philosophy and tech levels.

The other an economically powerful but small polity, with access to advanced and expensive high-tech ships. Plus plenty of lore and campaign layer content for you to discover. Non-Faction ships. HVB integration with unique bounty ships.

And an encounter unlike any seen thus far...

The Xhan Empire

The Xhan Empire is a dogmatic autocracy; born from the remnants of a XhanTech blacksite work colony left behind after the collapse. Until recently the Xhan Empire has existed relatively under the radar of most major post collapse factions. Primarily due to their distance from the core worlds and self imposed isolation. Rumors abound that their entrance into the greater sector is due resource shortages in their home system. Whatever the reason may be, the Xhan Empire has made its mission statement very clear; the complete subjugation of all those who may oppose the total authority of their Divine Emperor.

United Pamed

United Pamed is one of the smallest polities to be recognized as a distinct political entity by the greater sector. Possessing impressive resource wealth and an effective defense force. For its size, Pamed is an economic powerhouse and can afford its citizens some of the best luxuries found throughout the sector. While outwardly agreeable and willing to deal with most factions on good terms, Pamedians are still deeply mistrustful of foreigners and look out primarily for themselves.

Blessed be the maintainers, who persist in their ceaseless toil so that the rest of us might know peace.

Seriously though, thank you, I love the vaguely alien look of the Xhan and the Swiss-like state of the Pamed. These two factions do an incredible job of raising the diversity and increasing the political depth of the sector.

[Strict]

Nice! Thank you!

[Zalpha]

This is one of my favorite mods, I love the ship design and placement of the systems in vanilla. Really awesome awesome faction to play with and encounter. Thanks for keeping it updated and sharing it with us.

[Dazs]

I'd like to echo the above, I have recommended this mod to multiple players and it is great that it is being maintained, thank you!

[RoadTrain]

Oh, cluster checkpoint and the indies being overwhelmed got fixed? I might just give this another go... though I'll probably leave the big funny resting where it is because my god that thing is so OP.

Spoiler

I'd honestly raise 1000 eyes to 75 DP like Ziggurat if not more. 60 DP for a ship that can take control of or overload any ship is insanely OP.

[T4P14]

Xaiier no pressures but if you ever stop updating this mod i quit playing Starsector.

I love you lol, thank you for your work! This mod is amazing!

[aunt_jemichael]

love this mod

[thenumbers]

Fixed indie fleets being overwhelmed by Xhan exports

Looks like the clearance sale from Xhan to mercs is over.
jk, this is a great fix. Cheers.

[MMEEXX]

Thank you for the "version checker" integration. I'm so happy

[Xaiier]

Patch v3.0.1 is up with a fix to the Kobraz targeting not working correctly while pointing downwards.

Thanks to the bug reporter and please don't hesitate to reach out if you encounter any issues!

Hello!
If you are planning to add content into the mod (and not only maintain it) I have some suggestions after doing a faction (xhan) run recently
I used only faction ships and weapons.
- nex xhan start should give you some bps to do custom production bar event
- codex integration for some ships that continue to not show up still (like Kassarek for example)
- faction has no interceptor and support fighters (bomber is good, fighters are meh, zahkhan maybe even underpowered)
- no good weapons for phase ships (yeah TL+HN would be great but I coudnt use it)
- Goggergeck DP to 60 (even though it feels undergunned system is very good)
- Uvas encounter should drop full set of weapons (like cmon I lost some good ships to "friendly fire" feels bad getting it without weapnons) and also could use automated ship hullmod or 1 crew cap+req.
- Ennik buff (ship feels almost great, maybe fighter bay with drones or something?)
- add cruiser sized tanker (yes I love faction specific logisitic ships)
- MOAR prime divination weapons and hulls (destroyer maybe)
- SiC XO (like roider mod did it recently, its pretty great)
- kinetic pair fo Drob
- Stolb feels weak, maybe mines should presist and detonate on proximity, no idea, I didnt manage to make this weapon work, actually need advice on that, because weapon itself is cool
Now about feels, not suggestions:
- Cheborog, OieHou, Doskan feel weak cant make them work
- Panrelka coud be demoted to cruiser
- Cheborog visual needs small adjustment: medium center turret has angle that can point above side tubes wich means that side tubes are at lover level wich turrets on tubes confirm, but it looks like the side tubes are higher than bridge.
- Kassarek need a little something to be as desired as Pharrek (both are very rare)
- single system faction gets camped by hostile factions often maybe relations adjustments needed
- anti hull missiles are no really good or useful maybe damage nerf + ammo regen is in order
- Shtrall shoud be without ammo outclassed by Gorel for only 5 OP more, 1k range doent feel that good of a tradeoff
- Yazer is useless, AMB/missiles are better even within the faction arsenal

Everithing else is great. Thank you for your work!

[Dadada]

0.98 update? Absolutely giga based!

[gnastygnome]

Thank you so much for maintaining. United Pamed rules

[Ishman]

- anti hull missiles are no really good or useful maybe damage nerf + ammo regen is in order

You should actually take the Bloz into the sim and give it a try. It's a flux-free long-ranged cryoblaster that lasts for almost two minutes (with missile refire time reductions, and without expanded racks), that very few point defense grids can intercept since each missile has 350hp.

The small missile rack isn't my favorite, but that is 6000 frag damage in the rack, @ 1000 dps, which means that in frigate fights, the one with this missile will almost always kill the other one in seconds (with exceptions against fortress shield ships or extremely high DPS accurate PD like diabble IBIS).
