It's probably the fault of other mods, but a lot of the BRDY weapons won't ever spawn in markets, like the normal gale-cannon, large dart pod, IMN assault gun, voidspear MRMS, and a few others. I'm not sure what could be causing it.

It's a known bug, do this to fix it:

Add "brdy_wep_bp" to the \mods\Blackrock Drive Yards\data\world\factions\blackrock_driveyards.faction file in the knownWeapons like this

Code

"knownWeapons":{
		"tags":["brdy_com_bp", "brdy_mil_bp", "brdy_rare", "brdy_wep_bp"],
		"weapons":[
		],

I am addicted to this mod. BRDY ships and equipment favor a playstyle that i very much enjoy. With a Karkinos as my flagship, no capital ship's rear is safe from being obliterated. I typically favor controlling cruisers and capital ships, but the destroyers and frigates of BRDY are very fun to pilot with their ability to pack loads of firepower.

Was going through ship_data.csv and it appears the Eschaton has the CARRIER, COMBAT hints instead of the Kurmaraja. Would this effect ship AI behavior?

[Sunnyko]

Any chance for support for commissioned crews?

Hey, I'm working on a pirate reskin of the Karkinos for personal use in my pirate playthrough.

I am trying to recolor the effect of its teleport from green to red but can't get it right. I have recolored the fx pngs but it's still very much green. Which graphics/scripts do I need to edit to change the whole thing?

Not going to use this for a mod or anything by the way, just for my own playthrough and to learn some sprite editing. When I'm done you're welcome to use it if you like it of course.

Please make it so all the weapons and such show up in console commands when you search using brdy, It makes finding faction specific stuff so much easier when everything uses the same thing,
Some equipment cant be found by typing brdy, some only need the br, some equipment are just there by name like the voidspears, and a couple of weapons I couldn't find at all.

Changing those breaks saves sadly, so it is very unlikely a modder will do that. Meanwhile, you can open up weapon_data.csv inside Blackrock Drive Yards\data\weapons folder and see every weapon ID.

Hello Cycerin and people!
This mod is decently crafted and even inspiring, some of the ships look amazing!

I have an issue with this mod, however, balancing issues, while playing it with NEX I think you were overly generous with BRDY Cycerin, their fleets are infinite and dangerous to colonies! BRDY isn't that huge to have like thousands of huge fleets, plus that Pristine Nano-Forge can even beat vanilla factions
I was comissioned into Tri-Tachyon and I took over the pirate Limbo planet in Rama, BRDY immediately took issue with me, despite it being a 3 factions planet, so they caused a war over it, they were at war with SCY and Kadur at the same time, the TTS garrison isn't that good, but what is the issue here is the amount of Fleets BRDY has!

I have a decent fleet, nothing that could stomp a station, but it can defeat most fleets, I must have destroyed easily 90 Blackrock drive yard fleets yesterday, they keep spewing out those medium Consortium Enforcers and huge System Protection Fleets as if it was that easy and minor patrols despite being constantly repulsed
They don't ceasefire either after taking so much attrition, not surprisingly, a Hegemony alliance declared war on Tri-Tachyon, so I'm fighting a senseless war with BRDY and defending against Hegemony at the same time, Hegemons can be repulsed back and take while to reconstruct, but BRDY constantly spawns huge fleets, these fleets have a inate ability to overpower Stations, any station, I was stalking Limbo and having recently built a Station there, Consortium Enforcer fleets that aren't even that capable of destroying Stations, (in game battle), can easily destroy stations if I don't join in to see them getting killed..

I could understand a lore reason for them to have like.. a huge army, but minor patrols being able to destroy stations is where I take issue.. is this a vanilla problem? can someone explain to me?
plus' F Hegedemonies satured my pristine nano-forge while I was busy in Rana

Blackrock Drive Yards does not have NEX diplomacy traits? is that a reason they can't Ceasefire?

None of this is an issue with BRDY - it's just how invasion fleets are in Nexerlin. I presume this is your first or second game of it, or you'd have experience with seeing that any invasion consists of half a dozen fleets the size of a pirate armada, except instead of crummy atlas Mk. II's they've got 10-15 of that faction's capitals.

I'm also presuming you haven't added many other mod factions, as Diable, SCY, II, DME, SRA, Neutrino, and Junk Pirates all have pristine nanoforges.

[RoquetheRogue]

I used to be a textwall like you you, til I took a delete to the temple

Your presumptions are unfortunately wrong, I have been around, discord told me BRDY has these extra patrols because of their unique consortium building, which is like the Lion's in Askonia, my other issue was that minor patrols could RNG Stations and Fortresses and win which was a issue exarcebated by BRDY having extra patrols in the system of Rana

The the problem currently is more than that, it's because they can't call a ceasefire despite having several crushing defeats, they are not invading said system because they own it (which was added by this mod)
I have other Factions, Kadur, SCY, all active actors in that sub-sector of the Core Worlds, BRDY does not have those traits like all other factions in NEX, maybe they're not set for diplomacy? because someone told me factions in vanilla don't have the option to call for a ceasefire

Anyway, thank you for your time, I'll probably give up on that save and work better strategies.

Well it's not like other modders haven't broken saves before, some of them seem to do it every 3 or so updates.
Well based on what others have said, The mod needs an update since some things just never appear in the market.
Might as well make the ID adjustments at the same time.

Whenever i research blackrock hull modification, it doesn't appear in the hull mod list, so i can't install it

Check that you've got the blackrock hull mod tag selected.  It'll frequently default to not, and then none of the mods show up.  (The ability to filter hull mods by tag is actually pretty useful when you have a lot of mods, but only if you actually know it's there.)

My god, you're right. Thank you so much for pointing that out

Hi, this is my favourite faction mod by a very long way. Everything about Blackrock is fantastic, and I commend you for your work on it.

I have, however, found something you should be aware of. Someone else noticed the same thing, on the previous page, and it appears to have gone unnoticed, so let me reiterate it here.

The Vespa is completely overpowered. It offers the most powerful unguided payload available outside of the Cobra Bomber, and it does so at several times the speed of its Reaper-class rival. The result is a torpedo dealing 2500 damage (plus 1500 EMP damage) travelling at speeds high enough to catch destroyers.

This alone is very strong, though not enough to be overpowered. In fact, the Vespa bombers are balanced in most cases through the following drawback:

Their flight path takes them directly into danger, so you are more likely to lose them than you are most other bombers. Even if they don’t die, their flight path leads them far away from your carrier, making them take a lot longer than most bombers to return to the ship. As a result of Vespas dying and taking a long time to return, your fighter reinforcement takes a beating. If you field Vespas, you spend a long time waiting for them to be ready again.

Unless you use the Vespas on the Astral.

Now you have 12 Vespas travelling faster than any other bomber, launching torpedoes faster than any other torpedo, each torpedo doing more damage than any other weapon save the Reaper, each torpedo almost impossible to evade and which PD systems can’t kill in time, fielded on a ship that can teleport the bombers straight back after they have finished their bombing run, completely negating the only weakness that renders them balanced.

12 Vespas. Dealing 30,000 damage.

Two six-wing Vespa runs can kill an Onslaught from full shield and full health, and an officer-controlled Astral can land that 30,000 damage nuke over and over and over again.

This wasn’t playtested. It can’t have been.

To make the most of this broken combo, pair your Astral with a couple of lesser carriers using fighters and interceptors. These keep your Astral safe from enemy fighter wings, and they help by overloading the weapon and PD systems of your target enemy.

Well, at least you no longer have to Drover spam?

Anyway. Still, best mod ever. Sick work all around.
