I believe at least some part of this issue is capitalization based. the "Laimap.lua" and "Maimap.lua" files have capitalized first letters while some of the files referencing them dont have any capital letters. windows does not usually care about that but linux usually does care and its breaking due to that

It might not be downloading the mod correctly, this is a typical (random) occurrence that can happen on servers. Absolute nightmare.

Ended up being something on the server's fault because its not finding any scripts from this mod despite it being installed on the server. cant spawn the LAI in the ~dev menu, Ancient Shard doesnt drop, Really quite confusing

No clue tbh.

Any Idea why the corrupt AI (Post WHG vanilla one) would not drop the Ancient Shard on a server, but would drop in a singleplayer game with all the other mods being the same between the two instances?

They are the inspiration for this mod, yes.

big brother and 4308 would like to have a word with you

Nah, expected behaviour, normal AI does this.

Really Random, Uhh Lets say I Spawned one of these and then left the sector for a moment or few and cam back and its gone... Should I be worried?

Big Mod update. (aha)

Now if you have CWF installed the bosses will take advantage of those weapons for extra flare.

More importantly, the weapons dropped by AIs should now be all identical for a dramatic inventory clutter reduction.

Also the weapons across the board have been adjusted to be more balanced around eachother and other 'high-end' weapons found across my mods.

Xsotan Civil War was meant to give more bosses like this, but it's unlikely to work on patches after ITR. Otherwise you might want to look at Core Encounters by Knifeheart.

Actually, I don't remember updating this one, what patch did you play this on?

Nice boss. Final AI drop railgun from 4.000.000 damage...
Are there mods for more powerful bosses?

nuts

A planned addition as part of a merger with another mod of mine.
This did not come to fruition.

ok so no beefed up AI subsystem then

The loot is significantly better, this comes mostly in the form of turrets.

so how about the loot is it the same as the regular AI boss or is it better?

There we go! Big danger, big reward.

Mod has been updated.
Torpedoes now scale at a similiar rate to the AI Weapons and are incredibly lethal if not destroyed.
AI Rewards have been increased, with chances for things such as DLC Turrets and other high rarity systems to drop as it is destroyed.

Sweet. Big battles are fueled by DA LOOT!

At the moment, same as the vanilla AI.

These ones will yield more salvage from being larger, drop the items to spawn them and the final AI will drop its own turrets. I'll adjust the rewards for them in time to make it more worthwhile but hopefully balanced endeavour.

Rewards for killing them?
