SYS was my first nebulous mod and is thematically incompatible with what I want to be doing right now. Nebulous modding is a lot of work in particular. Time spent making new ships for a mod that was always intended to be exploratory is time I'm not spending making stuff for Sovereign Incident, or any of my other mod projects.

I'll keep the lights on, but if you want anything fancy, you'll have to commission me for it, or convince Highscore (The person who has commissioned every recent content update to this mod) to hand it over to another modder, which he does not want to do.

He is commissioning a PD corvette at the moment, but no mention has been made about carriers.

Your models are very good, are the carriers really not going to be made?

Ah, that error should be harmless, and was caused by an intentional change. I'll look into removing the error.

Loading into the game with this mod gives me this error. Doesn't stop the mod from being used, but idk how severe the effects could be.

They were meant to be removed for the time being until we could figure out what we wanted to do about them.

the 65EIN PSC shells used by the m3-65 just act like normal proximity fuse shells in the base game and do not penetrate armor

Mods not showing up in my modlist?

@Ishkibibble

The weird hitch angle you're talking about is present even in vanilla for dual purpose rounds, at least for me even before I started playing with mods. But yeah I've encountered the same issue as you where the M3-65 ALC would fire on my own ship's hull because of it.

@Gwyvern

There's an odd bug with the Compact Plasma Driver. It's listed max range is 6km but my ship only fires once it's within 4.2km. No other issues with any of the other Plasma Drivers. Is it using it's own FCR range instead of the ship's FCR? Since it's the only Plasma Driver with it's own FCR. I haven't tested using a Bullseye since I've mostly used either the Parallax Radar or the Epaullette's FCR module for targetting, all of which have a max range of 9km at least.

Also Gwyvern, thank you for keeping this ship pack alive, I've always loved these designs!

Not sure if anyone else is noticing this as well, but I am hearing a noticeable "click" or "popping" sound with some of the custom engine sounds used in this pack. It sounds like when the sound loops, there is a disparity of the waveform at start and end... resulting in the popping sound every loop cycle.

My issue relates to the M3-65 ALC cannons firing PSC shells, specifically on the Mako battlecruiser. I'm new to the faction and feeling out builds, so I equipped all of the angled side mounts with the ALC cannons, hoping to shred out internals. I noticed during testing that there is a weird hitch angle that occurs right before the round impacts the enemy, where it often curves something like 45 degrees into the target, causing shrapnel explosions to emerge at unexpected angles.

The specific problem I've had is that when these cannons are firing at an enemy the ship is facing directly (so all cannons can fire), the shells will use this angle property to suddenly curve inward and strike my own hull, meaning my mako is mostly shooting itself.

I'm not sure if there's some way to enable them traveling a certain distance before arming, or if the answer is just "only shoot those at more oblique angles", but I wanted to at least make sure you knew.

I had an issue I wanted to post, but before I get into that, I wanted to thank you for an awesome mod! I often feel more vertical oriented ships are under represented in scifi, and I really feel you absolutely knocked it out of the park here with your design language and "feel" of the ships. Thanks for the quick update, and the continued maintenance!

I much appreciate you keeping it running, and I'm sure many others do as well. It's always a shame when good mods get abandoned, so it's nice to know that this will continue to be maintained

lmao what did bro say

I have no plans for this mod other than keeping it running but if someone pays me to make them I will, eventually.

Are there plans to add aircraft and carriers? Sorry if you get this question a lot, just really enjoying the new carrier mechanics and this is my favorite faction, even among other mods

most mods on AGMlib are still functioning as long as they;re not using the one thing that's broken. I'm yet to have this throw any errors while using it other than the one that AGMlib throws on startup

There will be little point in trying to update until AGMlib gets un-fucked

wait I misread the time of day

Update? I didn't push an update.

congrats for being the first mod to update after the carriers release btw

Any plans to add carriers after the update ?

My fav faction

What balance tweaks specifically?

Updated with some balance tweaks that should put everything on even footing with vanilla.

Any notable changes in the last update?

This seems to have been an AGMLIB issue, the mod is working fine as of now.

I swear we could use people asking for updates as FTL they ask so quickly lol

Please update, have state yard installed after yesterday’s update had prevented display of module description and installation of new components.

Roughly Equivalent.

hey! wanted to ask about general power scaling, how would you compare these to ANS and OSP ships?

Hey, I noticed an error message, where if you have this and Rylek's raiders, you get an error message for duplicated rounds, as this mod appears to also have the 175 Beater in it. I don't know if it actually causes an issue, but it does lead to regular error messages and having 2 different Beaters.

I'm getting the same with the ALC's PCS shells, no FX at all

the ALC turret's PCS shell lacks a tracer like AP and HE.

I'll be releasing a demo of what I'm cooking once I get enough of it together.

Well, if you don't mind me asking, what's next on the lineup for you to make? For your own work, the newer and more interesting mods. I like this one a lot so I imagine I will like what comes next..

Its more about the place in queue, unless a completely unreasonable sum was offered, I've got other clients ahead of the next wave.

And yeah, I don't really care about NY anymore, I want to make more interesting mods, but some people with disposable income want more content, this is how they will get it.

A spinal plasma driver would be awesome. You take commissions on your own fleet design eh? How much to get that weapon moving along? Tempted to pay myself.

The person who commissioned the Saw already plans to commission a spinal plasma driver.

I would Suggest Creating some Spinal Super Heavy Plasma Drivers for The Saw and Lemon class, as otherwise, they need to use mass Drivers. Additionally, they could use 3x1x3 Module Spaces for Power Plant management. All those big module slots being used for that is a waste.

I want to keep the old logo for myself, this faction is officially excommunicated from the Gwyvern deep lore.

On the one hand I thought the old logo/story was cooler on the other thank goodness it's a lot easier to spot these fleets in a list. (I got a lotta fleets).

Great mod overall!

So cool to see the OG starsector modders making awesome stuff for NFC!

SYS seems to have lost access to HEKP warheads in their missiles, in spite of their access to hybrid missiles.

my discord is Gwyvern

I have a video and can send other documentation if you need it, dunno over what though

Thats a new one

Hey, Whenever Im using these ships my screen tends to have a few black flashing frames. I don't know why, It does that outside of tactical mode, only with these ships.

Should I be stacking FPAs on the Lemon or Eregs? The increase in overheat damage chance is definitely to balance it with battleshort.
