Hi there Erick! Some "negative" feedback on the ships in the compilation/faction. You obviously know that i like most of the ships.



1) Feels mirrored and kind of cheap compared to other designs, could use a rework imho.

2) The angular converging shapes bother my eyes a lot as they represent mirroring.

3) These two are nice but maybe too similar in visuals, I like the bigger one the best. I'd cut one and keep the other.

4) Feels a little bit flat and kind of ugly (not cool ugly as a hound though).

5) Again feels a little weird with all those converging lines. Could use some tweaks.

[Erick Doe]

1.) I will break up the symmetry a little on this ship, by adding pipelines and other greeble.
2.) The more I look at this sprite, the less I like it. I'm not going to include it in the update afterall.
3.) I'd like to keep both in, though I might apply a change in colour for one of them.
4.) The ugliness is intended. It really shouldn't be seen without its build in Hellbore and Reaper though. It looks much cooler with those attached.
5.) For once a ship that has intended converging lines. It is supposed to look perfectly symmetrical. I did offer a choice out of three similar designs and this one proved most popular.

Sorry for the slow progress. I'm getting there. I've set a 40 ship mark for myself. Plus, I'm updating some older ship stats, since they're a little outdated. For example, the Foxhound is based on the Hound. But the Hound has seen a big armour increase from 300 pts to 400 pts in previous versions of Starsector. I still had to edit the Foxhound to match this change. Same goes for some other ships.

In the meantime, here's the Wrestler Mk2 for all you Wrestler fans:


Bigger, faster, meaner.

I really like this one, look pretty mean.

Almost there!

Here's the Skylark service utility shuttle. Its arms can embrace all sorts of modules, such as cargo- and fuelcontainers, engines and additional weapons. In this case it is embracing two engines for extra speed.



I'll add a couple more variants of this ship.

Updated list of ships:

Works fine for me.

Wowow, that's a badass design!

Only thing I'd note is the 'shoulders' of the very front part before the join with the main hull look a little blurry.

V6 is out!


-Bunch of balance fixes for [0.6.2a] (increased stats for various TuP ships).
-Added the Rover, Buck, Owen, Skylark, Icarus, Daedalus, Jules, Vulture and Wrestler Mk2.
-TuP now has over 40 ships!
-Scrapyard's ship stock decreased. Now sells a base assortment at the start of the campaign. New ships will be delivered over time.
-Updated TuP Collection mission, updated list of simulation opponents and screen variants.
-Updated folder structure, for better compatibility and easier integration with other mods. 
-Some other tweaks here and there, like improved ship descriptions, etc.

Glad you like it. 

The Skylark is part of a series of ships:

Skylark-series of haulers

(from left to right: fuel bonus, speed bonus, cargo bonus)

More will come in the future. To elaborate on the bonusses. The basic Skylark has none. The SF (fuel hauler) has double fuel storage and half fuel consumption. The SC (cargo hauler) has double supply storage and half supply consumption. The SE (engine hauler) has almost 20% more combat speed and 1 more burn speed. I will also add a Skylark that carries weapon components for extra firepower, a Skylark that carries shield generators and more. 

Obviously, the SE is useful for a speed-based fleet. It still provides a fair amount of crew, supply and fuel space. The SF and SC work best together in a slower and larger fleet.

[HELMUT]

Modular ships are definitely something i'd like to see more in the future. With the TuP integration on Uomoz, there was also an old chinese mod that was doing that kind of thing pretty well.

For the Skylark, for some reason it feel a bit "Star Wars" to me. My major critic would be that the additional fuel tanks are a bit too bright i think, it clash pretty hard with the rest. Otherwise it seems good.

Tested in vanilla and...

No issues cropped up with Linux!

I've got to say, I really enjoy some of your frigates, especially the Ryker!

That's my favourite amongst the Frigates. ^^

[Erick Doe]

Glad to hear there were no issues on Linux.


I'm currently adding another batch of ships, but after that I'd like to start working on some weapons.
