It would not be hard to do. However, it is outside the scope of this mod. If you want to make that mod, though, feel free to use the Roider retrofit code.

Is it intended that Collossus (R) could only be converted from pather conversion but not a stock or pirate variant?
Would also be good to have new pather ships from Luddic Enhancement included into list of ships that could be converted into roider variants.
Also what about some new modular hullmod that is a nerfed version of salvage gantry? Or they could have mining drones/shuttles that give you this hullmod - boosts amount of fuel recovered and gives additional fleetwide boost for recovered crew.
UPD: That's actually an idea for some cool logistic vessel which gives fleetwide bonus to repair/crew recovery out of combat. I think that fits nature of roiders perfectly.

The standard Colossus can be converted to the Roider Colossus at a Union HQ with Heavy Industry, such as at Korovin in the Atka system.

But that was exactly where I was converting my ships IIRC, I even sold them corrupted nanoforge. Only pather variant was shown as allowed base hull for conversion.

Love the ship designs and how well the faction fits into the lore. Feels like a natural subfaction for the Independents.

Roider HQ works good now. Though it's sad how greately it is tied to commission to operate at full capacity. And if they are at war with you even independent roiders would avoid you - making industry completely useless. Shouldn't pirate roiders visit you instead in such case if you are at good relations with pirates? And considering that you are leasing an industry slot for RU to have their HQ wouldn't it make sense for them not to demand a commission there? Maybe their shipyard would simply sell less/less quality ships made by independent roiders when you lack one. I think it would make sense to add a check for Independent and Pirate relations for non-union roiders contribution. And reduce default resource collection as result, boosting it when at good relations with more then one of these factions.

I hear you that it's not very interesting to be hostile with the Roider Union. There are a lot of reasons to be friends with them and negative incentives to be enemies. While Union HQ will stay as-is because, like credits, good relations are part of its price, I have plans that will make it worthwhile to cross the Roiders.

Glad to hear that!

Hey, just figured I'd toss this in here since it seems relevant. I've started recording a Lets Play where I do a Roider start.  Going for a scrappy low-tech space miner vibe.

It's great to see people playing Roiders. Saw you pass over Fighter Clamps a couple times - don't miss out on early-game fighter spam!

Yeah, I've been trying to figure out how to get them to work off camera.  It's tough to balance the OP on the small ships though. It's actually one of the reasons I wanted to play Roiders. I don't normally play carriers so I'm excited to try a different playstyle than I'm used to. Especially since most the Roider ships seem to be more along the lines of combat carriers, which will be a nice contrast from either drover and/or astral spam you normally see with carrier fleets.

I think that (at least with Nexerelin) fighter clamps prevents the attached fighters from mining.  They don't show up on the list of mining ships (or at least their values aren't calculated).  It could be said to be balanced badly if they could mine efficiently (maybe if possible put a -50% mining modifier because they mine slower??).  It would be good to have that fact show up on the tool tip though.  Just built an early game fleet of miners that now have no mining ability.

edit:  Confirmed, I did the math and checked with multiple fighters that are listed on the "what ships/fighters can mine" list.

It seems to work for me - the wing's mining strength is included as part of the ship's strength. I checked with Converted Hangar and Fighter Clamps, with Mining Drones and Breaker Drones, and with fighters and without.
