After the release of Vanilla Factions Expanded - Empire, a lot of you have requested that we tell the other side of this marvelous story - the story of Deserters. So many of you have requested it that in fact we made it our priority to release the Deserters faction expansion as soon as it was reasonably possible. What initially was meant to be a small mod about stealing stuff from the Empire, quickly became a grand new campaign against the evil nobility. We didn’t stop on just a few new quests and a new weapon - this mod comes packed with content to make the anti-imperial playthrough not only viable, but also oh so fun!

An indepth visibility system will track how much the Empire knows about you, and will affect everything that occurs in your game against the Empire. Higher visibility might result in larger imperial raids, less time for the empire to send reinforcements to their compounds, higher contraband prices and even quiet absolver raids.

Our goal with this mod was to make you feel like you’re a part of the bigger movement happening across the entire planet, but still in secret. You will be able to contact other deserter cells to send shuttles to pick you up, cause distractions and taunt imperial forces. You will be doing all that by trading intel - which is a new resource obtained directly from the empire via a variety of different ways. I encourage you to check the infographics to find out more about what we cooked for you!

For obvious reasons this mod requires Royalty DLC.

Q: Can I add this mod to an ongoing save?
A: Yes! However, you will need to wait for a new Chased Deserter quest to occur before you join the deserters.

Q: I’m an enemy of the Empire but I’m not a deserter! Why?
A: Two different things. You can wage normal war on the Empire and make peace with them later. Being a deserter is permanent, and only occurs when you actively harbor imperial deserters.

Q: It doesn’t make sense lore-wise that XYZ.
A: Ok, you do you.

Q: Can I continue playing the game after reaching the new ending in this mod?
A: Yes, but bear in mind both the Empire and the Deserters will cease to exist.

Q: Is this mod compatible with Combat Extended?
A: We do not handle CE patches. Best ask Combat Extended team on their discord/steam page. Do not ask here.

Getting a weird language bug with this on and dev mode. only stops when i turn it off. It's the localization bug with french letters.

Warning for other players and those about to play:
(I have already submitted this to the bug report form, but I'm sharing this for other players' awareness)

If you accept a Plot quest while on an asteroid or other orbital location, you will be unable to accept new Plot quests afterwards.

I tested with a new save using these MODs:

Harmony
Core
4 DLC
HugsLib
Camera+
Character Editor
Mod Error Checker
VE Framework
VFE Empire
VFE Deserters

Steps to reproduce:

1. Built Grab Ship in GOD mode
2. Built Burnout intel scraper on ship to become hostile with Empire
3. Traveled to asteroid in orbit
4. Used Dev mode for intel, then used Comms console in orbit to order Plot (error occurred)
5. Flew to quest location and assassinated noble (error on map entry)
6. Returned to Grab Ship - Plot acceptance button and rewards had disappeared from Comms console

There are quite a lot of bugs. When you go to assassinate a VIP, it turns out to be empty, or even though you have military information, it's recognized as zero.

Hoi Oskar finally engaging with the mod. I was reading the description on Absolver armor and it claims to camouflage the wearer. Is this just fluff or is it meant to act similarly to VAE Ghillie suit? I had an assassin attack me and I could see him. Perhaps he was camouflaged until he attacked me...

@coochieparade the turret pipeline author says that the VFED turrets have an interesting rearm system on their own, so they will not be changing it. As someone who ran both of them side by side, I have to say I agree.
