Right, the Varya's ship pack seems to be the one with the yellow ships I remember. Maybe it was Varya's Sector?

[Mephansteras]

Could I get a little help?

I had a report of an error with my mod, but my testing isn't finding anything and the person who reported it hasn't gotten back to me on whether or not they still have the issue with a clean version of the latest zip file.

Would someone(s) be willing to give it a whirl and let me know if you get any errors? Specifically with fleets containing the Hegemony variant of the Plasma Burst frigate.

It's a ship pack, so it could be added to an existing game without too much issue. Though, of course, you can't remove it from a game it's in so a new save might be wise.

Thanks!

(Any other feedback on the mod in general is of course welcome)

I met a degree of success against the Doritoes. I killed one of them with my fleet.

I just forgot they do that whole... thing when they die.

Anything from Vayra, Vayra's Sector and Ship Pack in particular

Alright, how do you manage to run Vayra's Sector on the latest version of the game?

There's an "unofficial" release that's Discord-only.

Cheers. Turns out somebody actually posted a working dl link in the mod thread, on page 30.

Discovered a MAJOR flaw in industrial expansion.

Don't put your heavy industry on the same planet as an engineering hub. The moment a ship is complete the engineering hub will start to disassemble it because the hub doesn't appear in addition to the storage, it replaces it.

Look, the engineers are just making sure they've got job security, alright. You can't blame them for you putting a ship in orbit, that stuff's like kibble for a scrapper.

New update coming soon, patch notes here: https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=26020.0

Farewell duzakh terran moons, my beloved. Luddic terrorists getting new ships to play with! The manticore (LP) looks fun as hell (large missile, 2 medium ballistic, 3 small, SO). 4 new laser missiles and another hurricane mirv nerf. Hopefully the improved tracking means it doesn't need ECCM any more, at least!

Brand new capitals for each faction to look forward to (except independents) and fancy new Sindrian skins for their midline core. Remnant buffs, as if their systems weren't scary enough as it was. Shame there doesn't seem to be any extra endgame stuff to do, but there's a bit more sidestory and building new ships should be fun for a bit.

I'm really interested in the Eagle buffs, maybe this time I'll be able to get a proper midline cruiser fleet working against remnants. Started a new game in the meanwhile; Luddic church focused, no trading, no exploration or survey missions, only bounties. Very fun pounding the pirates into dust with the eradicators the church gets. Can't wait to try that 2000 crew capital they're getting.

Asking around, it seems the patch usually drops within a few weeks of the patch notes.

The problem is I fucked up and got used to having Nexerelin, so I'll have to wait for that to update before being able to enjoy the new features.

I'm looking forward to it though. With the SD-styled ships I'll be able to do a proper Diktat run through. I love me themed runs, favourite's the Hegemony one because they've got enough either XIV or H ships that you can make a decent fleet.

[Mephansteras]

Yeah, hopefully Nex will get updated fairly quickly.

I'll probably have to do some re-balancing for my mod, but it's mostly a ship/weapon pack so I doubt anything will outright break.

[Great Order]

You know, I think the main thing I'm looking forward to aside from the new capital class ships is going to be the DEM missiles. In essence temporary laser-shooting fighters.

[Mephansteras]

Yeah, those look fun!

[Frumple]

That... those things were popularized by the honor harrington books, weren't they? Least that's the thing I recall that concept (missiles that fly out and then fire lasers) being referenced to the most.

[Great Order]

Might be, personally the only other time I've seen them is a turret combo in a tower defence game called something like Onslaught 2 (If I'm correct, that's a fun coincidence with the cap ship of that name)
