Okay Guys,

finally a first working prototype is ready for testing. It's only one mission for testing
and balance feedback from you (i hope ).

Of course i balanced the including ships myself beforehand, but suggestions
are very welcome.

Included Ships are:

• Frigate Viking Mk I
• Frigate Viking Mk II
• Destroyer Berserker
• Battle Fortress Herzog

So I am assuming that this is just a mission and not implemented into the campaign, correct?

[Thule]

yup correct, still working on that

my apologies if this is a disapointment Bare with me

I gave it a shot. The ships look and feel nice, though I have to say they would benefit immensely from a custom set of weapons. The vanilla weapons just don't feel quite violent or loud enough on them.


One thing I didn't like much though was the total lack of engine effects. I might suggest having circular engine glows with no flare like in this ship:

Even two or three small glowing balls would be enough to give the ships the extra visual flair they need.

Thank you very much for your feedback.
True on both aspects.

The engines i made today, they just didnt made it into the testmission yet.
I would love to use that gloweffect (or rather a redish color ), but i dondt know how to accomplish that.

Same goes for the Weapons, i am still looking for sounds or rather sorting them out. freesound.org is fantastic for such things.

[Psiyon]

You're welcome.

The glow effect is pretty simple:

    {
      "angle": 180.0,
      "contrailSize": 0.0,
      "length": 0.0,
      "location": [
        -52.5,
        91.5
      ],
      "style": "LOW_TECH",
     "width": 28.0
    },

Just make sure the length is set to 0 and it should work fine. Width obviously determines how large the glow is.

Wow these sprites are really nice!!
it would be awsome if you could make a guide of how you made them!
atleast if it is not a secret....
^ ^
i guess spriter could learn something from it.

[Lopunny Zen]

i wonder if they have a carrier

Thank you for the compliments

I will look into the possibility how i did the kitbashing, and no, no secrets

i wonder if they have a carrier

Yes they have, but no ordinary Carrier.

May i present to you: Tungsten Meteor Carrier, now included in the test mission


And i need help...again

I can't get the damage output right. It seems to make only emp damage, altough the damage data is quite
immense in the weapon_list.csv.

The Tungsten Meteor Carrier is not yet balanced, just a proof of concept.

Downloadlink in the OP is updated.

Hi guys,

I added the Wartool Assault fighter, but it crashes the game obviously.

Strange things:
The Codex shows the correct number of fighters and formation, but it although shows up in the refit screen
what it shoudn't do, right?

The accelate sound isn't working too. I dont know why.

Can't figure out what i have done wrong. Anyone mind having a look?

Still stuck on the fighters, i got creative. Heavy influenced by the existing
Factions "Junk Pirates" from mendoca and "The Scrappers" from Verrius i gave it a try.
