Hi, may I ask how you managed to do those directional engines? They are some sort of directional turrets I guess?

The thrusters themselves are a bunch of decorative weapons yeah, consisting of engine flame sprite and a cap unit stacked on top of each other; there's an attached everyFrame script that looks for weapon slots with particular strings in the weapon slot ID that actually directs the behavior.

Ah, I see. I found the script in MS_thrustPlugin along with your tutorial. Does that means you don't mind other people adapting your script for their own mods? I might have an idea for some solar sails that angles towards the sun on ships.

Go ahead, I look forward to seeing what you come up with, though the script itself still needs work.

Version 0.6.1 is ready!  This release features a bunch of new content and a style overhaul, as well as getting SRA ships spawning in Pirate, Independent and League fleets.


As an aside, due to the style change, the original style is available here if you want to keep the old look.

  • Removed (or rather changed purpose of) the small Blackcap Launcher
    • Fighter only weapon, fitted to Neriad and Skinwalker
    • Starts with 2 ammo; regenerates 1 shot every 15 seconds
  • Skinwalkers shrike launcher changed to fighter specific built-in; regenerates 1 shot every 45 seconds.

    • Additional small energy mount added
    • ENERGY hardpoints on the arms changed to SYNERGY
    • Ship system changed from the Flak flares system to the Remote Engine Inhibitor System

  • Civilian Modifications removed and replaced with League Refit
    • Reduced flux loss compared to CM
    • Cargo expansion removed
    • Armor and hull health improved

  • Expanded and revised faction description slightly
  • Changed civilian skins to be Persean League skins; League variants have more health and armor but worse flux stats, with much of their offensive equipment becoming BALLISTIC
  • Added Pirate Skins
    • Ships with these skins--Clade, Elysium, Shamash and Solidarity
    • Layouts are very different with most energy mounts stripped and replaced with BALLISTIC or COMPOSITE mounts
  • Added the Baseplate class Utralight Carrier
    • Converted Ashnan, basically little more than a flight deck in space
  • General graphical overhaul for sprites in the mod; overall style changed
    • Original style available as a seperate graphics pcack for those who want it
  • Added autofit variants
[close]

Hopefully you all enjoy the new release! E: Also just as a heads up, this will break saves.

I'm curious. What does the ships looks like after the update? That pics in the OP only shows the ships in old style. And they don't have the new ones.

... okayyy, that's weird.  I'll have to look into that.

Also, for immediate attention, here's a quick bugfix with 0.6.1a; this fixes a NPE that got past me with the Minos' ship system, so you should probably download it.

You'll probably want to try cleanly reinstalling the mod; a lot of the internal files in the mod got rearranged and renamed with the skin additions, so leftover bits of the old version will complain if they're still around.

i have the same problem with the crash.

have tried deleting the mod and doing a new install. this allowed the game to start. but if i try to load a save using the mod it wont load instead telling me it relies on data from a mod not in use.

ultimately had to go back to the old version of the mod to continue my game.

You won't be able to refit fighters and bombers at all. They're designed/balanced around having a particular set of weapons and would be very broken if you could change it. Which ones you pick for your fleet -out of quite a few that are available- is the choice here, not how they're outfitted.

I think now that Alex nerfed Atropos and Sabot the Shrike is starting to feel like a way too good of a deal. Huge range, huge speed, tracking, EMP,kinetic damage and you get 3 shots for only 5 OP.

I guess the actual damage and missile HP are not high so I might not be right on this.
