Vanilla Game Rock Hard

When I first started playing Reassembly, I thought the vanilla game was far too easy. To fix this, I made the Vanilla Game More Hard mod and it was good. ...However, I aways planned on making another mod that ramps things up another notch. ... This mod is that mod. Vanilla Game Rock Hard.

This mod does not edit, add, or change any blocks or block stats. All the blocks and factions are still perfectly vanilla, so your old ship designs are safe, and anything you build with the mod active is still vanilla.

• Almost all the default ship designs have been replaced with more competitive 'Agent type' designs.
  
  
• The Ai flags for the factions have been edited to make them less peaceful and more aggressive.
  
  
• The regions.lua file has been edited to allow more large ships to spawn. You'll now see ships up to, and in some cases over 8000P
  
  
• I changed the locations of some factions in the galaxy to better reflect their strengths.
  1. The Sentinels now take their rightful place at the center of the galaxy.
  2. The Tinkrel occupy the regions near the center that used to be Sentinel.
  3. The Crystalline faction is moved to the spots that used to be Tinkrel.[/ul]
  
  
• The magenta Competitor faction now contains a selection of ships by designers from the NMSS tournaments[www.nomoress.com] ... plus ED209 because I love his stuff.
  
  
  Actual difficulty
• I don't expect experienced players to have and trouble with this, but it does make your galaxy much more interesting.
  
• I held back on making any faction too strong (fairly easy with Tinkrell and Sentinels). I wanted to keep the gameplay fun.
  
• I did not edit the Terrans at all. I figure that's the faction that most players are playing.
  
• I did use thruster stacking liberally, but no hyper-stacking of any other parts.
  
  
  Compatibility
• This mod edits the region.lua file extensively, so it's not compatible with the Bigger Map mods.
  
• Any faction mods you're running should be above this one in the load order.
  
  
  Error!
  I edited the Ai flags for the default factions, so you should see 10 errors in the mod menu. This is totally ok. It's just a warning. Nothing is actually wrong.

  If you want more ships in your game, I highly recommend Conga's +Ships mod.
  
  If you haven't already tried it, I also recommend Splinter's Graphics Overhaul mod. It just makes everything look sweet and nice.
  
  
  Special thanks to MonsPubis for hosting the NMSS tournaments[www.nomoress.com] each month, just because it's a very cool thing. Anyone even slightly interested should feel free to participate.
  
  
  That's all for now. Enjoy! ;)
