>There should be a mechanic that deals with it I think. The mods generally make their own planets from what I know, taking Diable's 86ES 99RN, and OT systems for example, the core of those (Suvie, Staging Points and Forward Ops) remains the same. If you could look into the mod's structure, Dassault has a good example of a size 9 system in Nikolaev, and that's generally my southernmost port of call.

I've checked with Diable's and it seems easy enough with a starting planet. My issue would be (it seems) not so much making one from scratch but making sure the AI knows it's there. Partially copying a mod's structure would be perfectly alright, assuming they act like regular markets. Going to watch how their planets interact with ships in my current game and then delve into the campaign folder.

>Which unmanned fighter is best?
sparks, by far.

PHASE IS ABSOLUTELY HARAM

never
never

I will, np

I destroyed a Onslaught 1v1 with my Domidevastator ship by just getting behind and fucking that rusty onslapucci

sparks for everthing, talons if not. but remember, both are non ethical

Why?

Reminder for any modders that browse here:

If your ship uses vanilla hull graphics in any way besides gun ports then your mod is SHIT.

SHIT.

Making faction inspired ships is one thing, stitching together ships is fucking terrible and you think its OK because the forums is a hugbox.

Ironclads/Steelclads don't even have vanilla mounts

then you do it better

>large amount of craft per wing
>high damage / good PD potential
>fast
>frigates and other fighter craft will get gobbled up by them
some of the kitbash mods are great, stop whining about free content.

>talking shit to people that make free content
>adding nothing to the community or thread

so while on like my second scanning mission i found an Astral with only 2 (D). It was a huge pain in the ass to haul back, as I was only 3 small frigates at the time and i had to stop literally everywhere on the path to pillage for fuel, but i did it, and now it's sitting in the derelict terraforming base.

What the fuck do i do with this thing? I have a feeling i shouldn't have found it until late game.

>What the fuck do i do with this thing? I have a feeling i shouldn't have found it until late game.
keep it in storage until you have the logistical means to support it.

I did better though, you probably played my stuff at one point if you've been playing this game for some time. But hey, please keep enjoying trash like this that lowers the bar and has zero creativity.

What's the best loadout for a Brilliant?

>4 Pilums
>Large turret?
>2 small turrets?
>Spark fighters?

You're sick in the head buddy.

Simulator Overhaul when

Sorry I forgot about the Bushi friend

but i only play vanilla friendly factions plus imperium
so fuck off to your hole

Why didn't you just mothball it and keep going. You probably don't have the wings or the weapons to run it properly

...

Bushi bushi!
Herro?

Vanilla friendly is not the same as shitty sprites, friend.

...

Why the fuck is performance so shitty in-battle? Anytime there's more than 3 frigates the FPS drops to fucking twenty. Is this the power of Java?

Its the power of botnet and modern drivers.
What proc and card you have?

Those are some dick looking ships user. Why don't you have a seat over here?

i5-2500K
HD7870
AMD is absolute shit, I know. Latest drivers too.
Is it just me or are the AMD drivers getting more unstable with each new version?

wow, impressive! what amazing mods did you create my friend?

I have a q6600 and an R7 250

Game works fine
Chugs in big battles though

Cock on the chopping block, nerd. Let's see your supposedly great shit.

GTX 660
i5-4670k
8gb ram
I stick with Nvidia.
It work rather well. System have like 3 years from fresh install and drivers over year and it work well.

Are you running GraphicsLib?

yeah

I didn't design them.

>have like 50 different mods
>hur why does this game perform so poorly

You mistake me with other user.
i get average 50fps on benchmark mission. or whatever that one that count fps and fight full fleets on auto is called.

When you die, and you will
and you face Peter at the Gates of Heaven
he will ask you
DID YOU PLAY ETHICALLY?

Not if you won
not if you had fun
and not if you were any damn good at it
but if you were, and always will be

E T H I C A L

The Ethical Nation was born. Not by force, not by rebellion, not by greed, not by curiosity but by the divine will of morality. The path can be hard, the path can be lonely, but fear not my star traveler. Because your soul will never be alone, and you will always have the warm lovely pressence of the ethical angels guarding you. Forever and ever, until the last day and beyond.

Unethical code 0.1:
Affliction
Hyperion
Tempest
Harbinger
Doom

Sparks
Talons

guys mod idea:
How about ships... as weapons?

Java

>not Domidevastators as turrets

you had 1 job m8

>Ethical Nation mod
>Extremely overpriced ships that have reduced range and damage because ethics
>All ships have 10 max speed because ethics.
>can only mount specific weapons because ethics
>only one weapon mount per ship because ethics

fuck

Why don't we just put some knuckles on the onslaught and ram everything to death?

Freud's theories were discredited decades ago, user. He provided a valuable base to work from but that's about it.

why weapons are so small
user
one job and you failed

>being this retarded

I've used upwards of 30 mods in .7 before and had performance fine outside of ridiculous shit like a seigebreaker MIRV being fired during already intense fleet actions or the like, with fleet size at the 300 maximum.

foru

its part of the art direction you uncultured swine

now put destroyers on medium mounts and lashers on small ones

>Every world is now 0 stability thanks to Templars.
>no fuel gg.

blackrock

Is there any way to change the default fleet compositions for the AI? At least 80% of their fleets has to be made up of shitty frigates.

> Nexeralin mod comes out
> fight for the ethical nation to defeat the tri-tachyon, the knights templar and even the faggot approlight people
are you ethical enough?

Ethical ships will die instantly. too slow and too little range. Hell even nonethical ships right now can't fight off a Crusade alone, the CR burn will kill you as you fight six to seven battles back to back. I'm pretty sure I watched a Templar destroyer Perwen Burst straight through an Onslaught.

Add Approlight on top of that and you won't last through the first wave.

yes

>there is people in this thread you never fly this ship/fit

drive yards

>ships with hard points you can put armor plating or spikes on for ramming shit.

ya boi

Then what could be the cause of my poor performance? AMD card?
I only have 5-6 mods installed.

...

So, looking at these stability levels, what the hell does import value mean. Because apparently aside from getting nuked by the Templars, import value is also affecting every planet in a wide range of systems so everyone is stability 0. The Pirates are actually more stable than most core worlds right now

which mod factions do you bois ship?

Imperium + Templars here for maximum DEUS VULT

AMD doesn't seem to play too nice with it, at least since .8, yeah.

You did the trick to let SS use more ram, yeah?

But the Imperium pretty much always gets nuked by the Templars first.

yea, this has potential

I did, yes. Without it the game crashed on launch.

Not as much dakka as I was hoping for

WHERE ARE DA DEVASTATORZ

WHERE IS MY BIG ASS SHIP WITH BIG ASS KNUCKLES SO I CAN RAM OTHER BIG ASS SHIPS WITH MY BIG ASS KNUCKLES TO OBLIVION

this is absuletly retarded
I like it
Post it on forum

>trash like this
hey, that's my flagship in my current playthrough and I love that thing. its built like a brick shithouse

what mod is this from?

>Tore Up Plenty updated

>kitbash

...

there is literally nothing wrong with kitbashing

it's unethical

so is forcing this "ethical" meme, yet here you are

at least i'm not forcing my shitty kitbashes down a hugbox

so how Onslaughtfags will defend they can easy lose vs 1 single Dominator?

rate my fleet
not shown: 3 buffalos with shielded cargo holds

>complaining about modders who do it for free

very ethical, keep it up
don't fall for the fighter meme

unethical

decent enough, try to get a cruiser or two though. you're gonna need it for taking on the bigger stuff.

but where is the Medusa as your flagship outfuckingplaying with mad skills others ships? or are you not good enough?

>Medusa
Unethical

manually controlling your flagship is unethical
