Go into the mod's folder, look for graphics, then portraits. Here, you'll see all the portraits the mod uses for it's officers/special characters, etc

[Brainwright]

You can also go into the data/world/factions folders and modify the .faction files.  It can be more or less work, depending on whether you just want to delete large portions of the faction file or get rid of it entirely.

Follow RED from first versions and always find it interesting. Now, what your planning on mikante version of Etana or Pandora? Despite weapon and wing limitation ships can take varios roles(especially fun with Super capital). Second question about Utena, i really don't play phased and don't understand the very concept of it, but usually phased ones have armour or good speed, it does not.

PS Pandora with full Loach wings sends enemy big guys to sleep quite easily. Fun everything for fun. 

[MagisterRex]

An issue with some ship systems - namely the Strikecraft Overclock on Chimex
When it activates, my FPS tanks HARD. Everything works fine until then (as much as the entire screen covered in missiles and drones can be that is )
Same issue with the Blue/XLU Supercarrier
Running 0.9.2b

[Frosterus]

The average faction mod uses like what, 100 mb of VRAM? So I wouldn't exactly call your mod "free", in terms of system requirements.

Though it's also not a very big deal either.

[A_Random_Dude]

It's not a question of system requirement, but lib dependency and all that stuff. English isn't Protonus' first language, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's just a translation mistake.

[Trinary0]

The Star Fortress in Adalie is actually ridiculous. How exactly is anyone supposed to assault this and live? It has massive layered shields, rotates very quickly so it can constantly vent flux on the back side, does way more damage than any ship or lesser station does, and has very distributed parts so you have to pick at dozens of points to disable it enough to even get breathing room.

I get you want to have red-haired anime girls giving out cookies. There's nothing wrong with that. The ships can be wacky but are perfectly fine to me. But can this be looked at for future releases?

[HopeFall]

The mod file is called Oculian Armada. Could you ask Alex to alter the index name to be something like "Red - Oculian Armada" for better clarification?

[Protonus]

Yeah, this patch is going to address the station problems, probably. And some balance passes to make certain ships interesting.

When I mouse over an Oculian weapon for the first time after loading the game it plays the "low combat readiness" alarm sound effect, is that some debug thing left in the class initializer?

When I mouse over an Oculian weapon for the first time after loading the game it plays the "low combat readiness" alarm sound effect, is that some debug thing left in the class initializer?

I fixed it. It was attempting to remove a built-in hullmod for a specific wing.


Also, some changes have been made to make the Red fights barely playable. I guess.

Red received another overhaul that gives them Photon Shields (the new skin-shield armor) instead of CPU-intensive shields. So the shields were left for specifically for ships that intended to have them.

I am encountering a strange crash, and was wondering if you could help me track it down.  This is the stack trace:

I think the other relevant mods are Nexerelin, and possibly AoTD/Vaults . 

I am a complete novice to Starsector modding, but here is my best guess as to what is happening...

It looks like ocua is trying to upgrade an industry, but when the starfarer code fetches the industry spec for an upgrade:

Code

    upgradeId = getSpec().getUpgrade();
    IndustrySpecAPI upgrade = Global.getSettings().getIndustrySpec(upgradeId); // Starsector's BaseIndustry.java line 571

The industry Spec is null, which causes the game to crash when it tries to fetch the Industry Spec's build time in the startUpgrading() method.

As to WHY it's null, I am wondering if perhaps AoTD or some other mod is changing the upgrade path for heavy industry in some fashion that the custom code for ocua is unaware of. I am *hoping* that maybe there is just an id in a csv file somewhere that needs to be updated, but can't wrap my head around how the base code and the mod code all wraps together.

If you have any thoughts, I would love to hear them.  I tried just commenting out the offending lines from ocua_orbital_matrix, but I need a plugin file that doesn't appear to be present (plate shield plugin) in order to recompile.  I am sure I am just running too many mods, but if there is a quick fix, it would be great to have all my mods be one happy family.

thank you for your time/thoughts.
