any chance youd make a mod that has them grow up? even with this mod they arent that amazing. takes like 200 years to get one after killing a drake.

argh...just a heads up needs an update, the drive is not working atm

thanks for giving it a drive again!

I've never heard of "simulated dragonspawn"... but its in the localization files, but I don't see its stats anywhere. That's interesting, I'll have to read the actual event that is related to it and see whats going on there. Interesting!

Does this change the other drakes referred to as "Simulated Dragonspawn" in the code? It would be nice if they were all changed by this. Thanks,

SalasDoom@ The Young Ether Drake should have the fleet power, health, damage output, stats of The Bigger Ether Drake at minimum.

You’d think that they’d make the hooks they used for auto upgrade of the civilian ships available to modders for other designs to auto upgrade.

Yeah I don't know why they don't just allow you to upgrade the drives of event ships. Its kinda baffling since it shouldn't even be a big change. It would sure make life easier..

Does the psi drive prevent merging? I’ve previously been able to merge fleets with and without jump drives, just with losing the ability to jump the combined fleet.

Ugh with Paradox and their unnecessary changes.

I don't think so ;( You just have to manually keep your Drake near other fleets unfortuantely. I can look into it again, but it'll have to revert from always having a psi jump drive.

Anything you can do about the ether drake now being unable to merge with other fleets (bad change made in the latest beta)? Even with your mod the drake isn’t strong enough to survive mid to late game by itself.

Well, I'm not 100% sure there may be some way to have an event or something like that, that would delete your space dragon and replace it with one that has the "correct" drive. But honestly its waaay beyond my scripting abilities here.

Yeah i see your point, if there's no way to set a check flag for tech x and then apply it, then it's kinda impossible. WTB paradox refit ability on all things :P (I'm guessing that's hardcoded?)

Hmm, yeah there is. But the problem is that the way Stellaris does things it'll always be a problem. Before you get jump drives, it won't be able to join a fleet at all. If I give it a jump drive and assume the player will eventually get them, what if they get psi jump drives? The same problem again. Its incredibly annoying they can't just "refit".

Any way to make the ether drake get a jump drive?
Sad that when i finally got it, and next year got jump drives, so if it's in my fleet it can't jump.

Updated :) Nah its nothing complex. Although I'm not sure what values make sense for armor in 2.0 since that's rather different. It should be good though, if not drop a comment here and I'll have a look.

i can't imagine they changed much about it, so it shuld be relatively simple?

I should probably update this for 2.0...

anyone know if this lovely mod still works in 2.0?

could u make it so that it spawns with the psi jump drive? or at least have a separate mod for that? i don't like how u might get it when u r still using the starting FTL tech and then the dragon becomes FTL obsolete when u graduate to jump drives

Thank you!

Soon this weekend :)

Update to 1.8 plz?

Neither have I, I have had this mod for awhile and have never gotten the dragon to test it heh.

I haven't gotten the dragon in a good while, did this end up totally OP somewhere?

mine had 90% armor and 15k hp.

one shot breath weapon.

base game.

watch as the golden armada is incapable of finding an enemy powerful enough to stand its 300%/300% lances.

watch as your lances only raech the half way point before something is vaproized (such unfortunate)

Could you update the mod?

There's a mod I'd like to bring to attention, it's called Dreadnought (Regular Scaling) by direwolf007, which allows people to have a modded option to reverse engineer the wreckage of the defeated leviathan to PRODUCE Dreadnoughts. With this point of reference established, I was wondering if you could create a modded option to enable the ability to produce your own baby ether drakes!

So any upgrades to drake yet? :)

any chance of changing the random chance of the mining station on "Dragon horde" planet to 100 percent?

it seems a waste to defeat the guardian, mine the planet, wait 30 years..... then nothing happens

It doesnt really matter how long it takes as long as that sort of "easter egg" is there.

Thats an idea, but at the same time the mature drake was hold enough it survived a cycle of the universe. On the other hand, that's not necessarily related to maturation rate. Its an idea, but it would have to be a looong time. It might be possible though.

This is awesome, thank you so much
Also would love to have an event of something like 100 years after hatching, that would make him evolve into a grown dragon.

@ScaryJacob Once you defeat the Ether Drake guardian, put a mining station on the planet called "Dragons Horde". Then you wait around 30 years and *maybe* you get it.

how do you get the drake?

Ah okay thanks :) i really like the suttle buffs :)

Better Strike Craft (http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=800312140) already buffs the Amobea. I just.. forgot swamers are in this game because they never ever spawn in my games for some reason. lol.

Oh yes you are right, the swarmers and what about the amobea?

Sure, I'll look into it. I know the swamer strike craft I totally forgot to "fix" in my Better Strike Craft mod too. Heh, whoops.

Would you please also buff the domesticated prethoryn queen/fleet? After the heinlein patch that reward has become realy weaksouce :'(

I was planning on doing something like this myself. Thanks for saving me the effort.
