How did you get the one without the armor module? That is not supposed to drop.

I am not sure the other one ever drops normally, either.

Raiding pirates.

Hello!

I would like to ask for permission to make ARMAA add-on for Roider Union if it'd be okay with you.

[SafariJohn]

Don't ask to ask

Yes, it is fine with me.

[Quartofel]

>Don't ask to ask
If it sounded like that, it was a certified second language moment :p

Thank you for permission!

Hi there! Just tried this mod, huge fan so far.

Quick question - how do tech expeditions work? I see them in the patch notes but after a few cycles of interacting with the Roiders I haven't encountered them or any mention of them.

Any tips?

Thanks!

[SafariJohn]

They travel from the core to the fringe to salvage tech. You will get an intel for them if you are nearby when they are launching or if you spot the expedition itself. You have probably gotten the intel but didn't notice it because it looks similar to the trade fleet intels.

Hey John, have you considered nerfing Bolts maybe? They're super fun, but I feel like they're too good overall. Granted, they don't do much direct damage, but 2-3 wings can completely stunlock even some capitals and PD systems simply can't keep up with their speed. I feel like either making fighter zaps have to be reloaded or reducing wing size or increasing OP cost would make them more fair without making them not fun anymore.

And boy, are they fun especially when pilotable .

[SafariJohn]

Bolts are fairly equivalent to Claws, except their missiles mess with PD and shield AI. I am going to rework the Zap SRM to alleviate those issues.

New update! 

If the update isn't save compatible, is that something that would be apparent right away? I wouldn't want to update and then run into a game-breaking bug half a cycle later.

YOOOO THOSE SPIKE THROWER CHANGES, BLESSED

I think if you load in your old save, make a save copy with 1.4.4, and are able to load in that save, you should be good.

I updated from 1.4.3 to 1.4.4 and have been playing for a while now with no problems! By the way, I found a message from 2020 saying that Union HQ patrols don't stack with High Commands. Is this still the case?
