I mean, you always have the option of withdrawing, backing off to repair and re-arm, and striking again while fresh. It's not like the escorts will respawn.

er any fix for the caliph shield anyone is aware of yet? 

[Jackundor]

The missions probably need a rebalance, the one where you fight against the Xiv onslaught, 2 Legions and 10 cruisers in particular.... you can't deploy most of your fleet, there are no objectives on the map to boost your DP and you can't bloody do heavy damage against any of the capitals or cruisers (And if you could, they still have more to deploy)... Also, the preset loadouts for that mission are *** garbaj

[JohnVicres]

er any fix for the caliph shield anyone is aware of yet?

I have a quick & crude fix for you!
First, go to Kadur Remnant\data\hulls\ and open both vayra_caliph_shieldgenerator.ship and vayra_caliph_shieldpart.ship; then, either put a # as shown or remove the following line:

Code

    #"vayra_modular_shields",

Then, open ship_data.csv, copy vayra_caliph_shieldgenerator's max flux and flux dissipation values into vayra_caliph_shieldpart's equivalent stats. Now you have a functional shield with the intended stats, but the "Shield Generator" module will unfortunately become useless.

[JohnVicres]

can someone give me tips how to defeat caliph in an easy manner?

You probably can't avoid losing some ships. I've been consistently wiping out entire fleets on my own with the Caliph in my current Kadur playthrough, and even a Star Fortress isn't impossible to solo with it.
It has super-crazy-strong PD, so missiles are probably a bad choice... maybe lots and lots of disabler weaponry? I imagine a fleet of 4 decently armed Onslaughts and an Ion Paragon can kill an AI-controlled Caliph, especially with the currently-broken shield system.

[Bovine Colonel]

Loving this mod so far, the lore is cool and weapons are much more interesting than vanilla ones.

Is there a way for those of us who are bad and need to use AI pilots to prevent the Prophet from using its ability? I've only got one battleship and whenever it needs to retreat it chooses instead to die with honor.

The Prophet is just ultra agressive and absolutely terrible at retreating, back in 0.91 I got caught by a giant bounty hunter fleet and had to retreat my fleet to recover my CR, but the prophet was backing off so slowly I've had no other option than to pilot a cruiser I had kept in reserve to escort it super slowly back to the edge of the map, by the time it reached the zone  and I took control of it to force it to retreat we destroyed at least a third of the enemy fleet with just the two of us.

In summary if you want it to retreat set some cruisers and destroyers to escort it and take direct control of the ship.

I really like the concept of this faction but a lot of the ships are just designed to fall through the cracks of AI stupidity.  I can't count the number of times I've seen Falchions or Falcon(K)s or Eagle(K)s or even Sphinxes in situations where they absolutely need to back off and recover a bit or get to safety, and instead they hit their speed boost, charge into the middle of the enemy, and blow up.  I've seen them ram stations doing this.  Falchions in particular are a trap - I've repeatedly seen single Falchions take on single Hounds and lose.

The Archimandrite seems to be the only destroyer in this faction that the AI can handle reasonably well.

The ships are fine and even fun in player hands.  The problem is that means you have exactly one ship in your fleet that is fine.  The others ...

[reiya]

 @dampbacon my setup is paragon IV ,herackles (paragon low tech),equality,radiant, nibelung/javanicus PD (blue)

[S7]

Singularity Torps from Scy Nation are probably the most unethical way to disable a Caliph.
Just had Monitors take aggro, then dumped Singularity Torps and other ordinance on the poor thing.
Hoping the shields get fixed next version.

Yeah, it seems the ships are design to be push the big red button and smash the enemy in the face but the flux is so small. You really need to use S mods to make better use of most of the ships here.

Also anybody know how to make Kadur more aggressive as a faction in Nex? What file i need to edit?

[grinningsphinx]

you need to edit there systems. Kadur arent aggressive because their systems are constantly under attack. The least intrusive fix is to give them some allied factions from game start. I forget which file it is, but its easy to find. You could also increase there colonies and stations with a lot of extra output if you dont feel like messing with the faction file. Or both lol.

[Timid]

Hello! I have obtained permission to bring Kadur Remnant into a relative 0.95.1a support! However, these changes may or may not reflect Vayra's intent, but I hope it makes the Kadur Remnants more playable for you guys!

There were questions how the bounties were spawning and since there is a little confusion, I will clarify them here! There is a bug with MagicLib's implementation of converting Vayra's HVBs. The differences are listed. Just beware of them.

Bounty Name	Requirements	MagicLib/Vayra's Sector Difference
Red's Raiders	Level 6, 50+ FP	MagicLib: You must visit Kadur bars. Vayra's Sector: You must be non-hostile to Kadur Remnants.
Lightforger Project	Cycle 207, Level 8, 100+ FP	MagicLib: You must visit Kadur bars. Vayra's Sector: You must be non-hostile to Kadur Remnants.
Rubin's Ralliers	Cycle 207, Level 6, 50+ FP	MagicLib: You must visit Hegemony bars. Vayra's Sector: You must be non-hostile to Hegemony.
Rubin's Revenge	Cycle 209, Level 12, 100+ FP, Rubin's Ralliers completed	MagicLib: You must visit Hegemony bars. Vayra's Sector: You must be non-hostile to Hegemony.

Thank you, especially for removing this strange conditions from kadur stations. And for Kaliph of crs.

[Madbadger2]

Thank you! I had already implemented a few of these in my local version (like the hegemony relations change) to try to get them to last longer in Nex. One thing to check, if you haven't already, is the mining fleet variants in kadur_remnant.json in exerelinFactionConfig no longer exist
"    "miningVariantsOrWings":["vayra_sirocco_a", "vayra_sirocco_cs", "vayra_sirocco_f", "vayra_sirocco_m"],"

(will check the new file in a sec)

Edit: Yeah, it's still there - none of those variants exist anymore. I wasn't sure how to fix it, or even if it matters, but a friend had an invalid variant for a mining fleet crash for a different faction once, so I thought I'd mention it.
