I was either using an old version or was just remembering wrong regarding the regenerating ammo, so that complaint was either moot or mistaken (if so, my apologies).

My complaint regarding the boss fleet is that I felt penalized for hitting level 30. All of a sudden I have to worry about some uberfleet constantly breathing down my neck. I'm not expecting a reward for leveling up; I am just expecting not to get punished for it.

Seeing that hull/armor was reduced for the bigger ships sounds nice. I felt most of the normal ships were okay, just the higher-end ships were not vanilla-balanced. I don't see myself using it as long as a boss fleet like that is a constant menace for reaching level 30. Just because a more skilled player can beat the boss fleet with one ship doesn't mean that it's vanilla-balanced.

Edit: I suppose to clarify: there are certainly similar 'boss fleets' in Uomoz that I generally don't like too much, but in that mod they are a) easily avoided and, more importantly, b) temporary. They're an optional challenge instead of a looming pain.

Further changes

- The true purpose behind me having 3 stations is now complete, 1 convoy is going to supply all 3 stations with different goods depending on the station ( supplies and fuel to supply center and ships to shipyard, yeah.. you get the idea ;D)

- Reduced the amount of guns on Vatican Mk.IV from 90 to 70 something and reduced its max op by 100.

- some more expanded descriptions.

I'l make a beam weapon once i find a good sound file.. or if someone bothers to make me one.


Might i suggest the Sajuuk/Dreadnought ion cannon sound from Homeworld 2?

Has a special place in my heart, honestly.

Also running from the Valkyrians because they suddenly decided they liked the look of my fleet. :(

Yes, The boss fleet activates at level 30 and hunts you around endlessly until you kill it, was considering to make it neutral all together in case someone does not want to feel forced to level up just to fight this fleet.

Ahh, i was wondering why they suddenly wanted me dead. Spose it does make sense because of this part of the backstory
Quote
"The faction itself consists of a mixed low to high tech nation devoted to military superiority and absolute control over anything that would improve their technology"
and my fleet currently is fairly hefty in terms of tech and heavy armour/weapons.

Loving the portraits that come with it, specifically the two with the white backgrounds on 'em.

EDIT: Though you could have them periodically return to Obeiron to resupply, it's a fairly large fleet after all, that's gotta eat supplies like crazy.

They are scripted to never run out of supplies.

Well balls, so much for that. It has lead to an amusing game of cat and mouse while i try and build up the forces so that i'm confident enough to fight them.

i havent played valkyrial's mod as a standalone seriously yet, but seeing some of the ship design on the main page, id freak the hell out to see a "boss fleet" filled with some of those ships.

the vatican MK4 anyone ? is there even place for engines and crew on that damn thing lol :P

oh, i wrote that fully aware of the newest versions lol :P

the size/turret ratio on the vatican MK4 is ludicrous XD (altho, as slow and unmaneuverable as it is, i guess its needed >_> maybe...)

in any case, your ships look nice. for some reason i also laughed when i realized my ship were red with white details and i thought about your white ship with red details :P but thats probably far-fetched :P
