Laps's: The Yalunder Defenders

[ MUSEUM ARCHIVE ]
This mod is beyond ancient, and is among the first mods ever made. It's also my first. It's mostly reskineed Bees but has some fun stuff in it. Enjoy a bit of Reassembly history.

How long has it been since the Bees were little more than an occasional drone in your back?
More than a simple resource farm?
Although there impressively powerful Doom Beams can pierce the veil of space, and there thrusters demonstrate unrivaled power.
Unless they have a player with them, they are bound to destruction. Same as all those that stand in the way of plasma.

But...

That all changes today my friends.

The ancient Bee City of Yalunder has been reactivated.

A once galaxy spanning megalithic empire. That was reduced to little more than desolate husks may millenia ago.

Finally... Their Asteroid Super-Structures's have reawakened.

And the once feared and revered Yalunder Defenders. Once again patrol the Void of there desolated homeland.

Although, there creators have long since departed them. There advanced AI systems serve them well.
Reproducing, Expanding, Repairing and Constructing.

You have been warned. Proceed with caution. And a rather big gun.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But if you chose to join them, a different history shall unfold. A very similar history to be sure... but... without your inevitable destruction.

After months of tedious labor by the reactivated Yalunder Defenders, a once dormant Reinforcement Station's Rift-Device, has activated.

And you commander, have been released from that colorless place, that has been your prison for millennium, ever since the Rift closed with you still inside the systo-physical anti-reality that constitutes the Yalundarian Rift Tunnels.

That was long ago. When you first tryed to flee from the StarGlow Universal Purificatorit.

Now instead of YOUR inevitable destruction, you may lead the rest of the Galaxy, into THEIR inevitable destruction.

Good luck Commander.

Haha, can you tell I enjoyed writing that? :)

But seriously though, these buggers have some new tech up there sleeves.

The mod is done. Effectively.
I may add some new toys in occasionaly, but for now. I feel that it is pretty well fleshed out.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Basics:

Effectively half of a normal shield. Because those normal MEGA shields are a bit cumbersome.

Once again, half of everything, including side. ( More appropriately 1/4 size )

A Quantum Doom Beam, stripped of it's spinal mount, and given a moving base. Substantially less powerful, since, ( as I imagine it ) maintaining a complex magneto-photonic beam at the quantum level is a substantially hard task, requiring lots of solid space. A turret, is just too much motion, and too many moving parts to manage without conflict. Thus, these are substantially less powerful.

Ever wanted something to just cut the heart out of the enemy? Here you are. But don't worry, it's nicely balanced and not too OP. ;)

Because Quantum Physics might just allow for teleportation. And who wouldn't want to summon ally's instantly in the very heart of combat?

Basically a Containment Unit for managed resource generation. [ I advise using it on stations. ]
How'd you think you managed to survive in the cold silence of The Rift? Veggies man!

Update 2

A Resource generator, for ships that need that compact touch.

A Squadron of tiny AI-Fighters, useful for overwhelming Point Defence. Also, can serve as a PD shield, for those pesky Laser ships.

The Yalundarians have spent quite some time with Quantum Physics, and have discovered an effective resource compression system.

Update 3

Builds and deploys Deployabel Structure Roots.

The Deployable Structure root is both a root, and a seed. Allowing it to function without a dedicated command module.
The Process for constructing these little beasts is complicated.
And building with them to trick the laws of Reasseb-blo-dynamics is problematic.

"
Well, better late than never. Structure deployer for dummies:
1: Build awesome structure
2: Attach the deployable structure root (not the regular one as those are meant for placing structures on world creation, it won't work if it is).
3: Remove the core block from the building.
4: Re attach it at the furthest point from the root block, because as soon as the core is built, the structure will stop constructing regardless of how far along it is. If you mount it directly to the root, nothing will be built.
5: Attach the deployer to a ship.
6: Fire it at an asteroid, it MUST land exactly face down in order to attach and begin building.
7 (optional): Find the farmer faction and spam structures all over their plant ships.

Update 4

A unique drone that utilizes hyper-condensed systo-magenetic refraction tech.
AKA, it can teleport.

The ultimate module for pure OPedness. WARNING. GAME BREAKINGLY COOL.
More features for this thing comming soon!!!

Advanced:

Social AI flag has been added to the Faction Behaviors.

They have there own Region! ( Of course ) Full of patrolling Enforcer Drones, and AI OMEGA-SubClass Dreadnoughts!
