[MOD] Faction Battleships
This mod adds Battleships to each of the main factions of the game.
I have used the resupplier-models to build these ships.
These Battleships are now patrolling various sectors and can be build at shipyards.
This mod should have a good impact on economy due to all the ships getting destroyed by battleships. This should lead to much more ships being rebuild.
Mod should be safe to add to with existing savegames. But removing the mod could cause problems.
Translations are made using stupid Google translator.
this is my 1st mod ever for any of the X-Games... so please... don't kill me rigth away

Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
Details, Screenshots, this sounds great, but you gotta SELL IT
Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
Woo Battleships! Thank you this looks awesome!
Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
one new ship for each faction..its a start
Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
Looks absolutely awesome. I guess it's the missing models of the supply ships?
I hope AI builds them as well. And in mass. My engine parts factories are waiting to fill the black hole those mammoths are going to make in storages of all shipyards.

Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
AI is building them as well... but max 10 per faction / max one per sector (don't want to spam the galaxy because these things are powerful and would otherwise have to much of an impact)

Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
fantastic mod,
just a personal critique, not a fan of the argon ship (just by looks)

Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Can the player acquire one, or all, of these at any point, by purchase or capture? I think they would be a blast to try to capture... pardon the pun.

Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
Yes. The player can build these ships as soon as he got the Capital-License needed by the Owner-Faction. The ships can be build at player-owned Shipyards of carmaster's mod "Player Owned Ship Production" as well. In terms of boarding... it's possible... but should be a challenge. To be honest, i didn't try it. But with a max capacity of over 100 Crew and all the Guns it's fun for sure.Bladerunner1971 wrote: ↑Wed, 19.

Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
Awesome! Thanks again. Now I'm off to seek out one of these beauties, and send my rag-tag fleet to their deaths, in order to satisfy my megalomaniacal desires! ...ahem, with as few casualties as possible of course...Blackscorp_81 wrote: ↑Wed, 19.

Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
Love the mod, any plans for supercarrier variants? I tend to like to use a lot of fighters to shieldbust and screen enemy fighters, and having them docked between fights helps with performance hugely.
I noticed you making a comment about people having trouble extracting .rar files on your nexus page, you might try suggesting them to use 7zip, it's free and really reliable https://www.7-zip.org/

Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
OP, you are doing god's work. Thank you for this mod.
Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
I can't get this mod to work. I have it in the right folder. I've tried it without having any other mods. Is anyone else having issues starting their game with this mod?
Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
I can't even start the game to take a look
Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
This mod is a really good start to rebalancing things in general. What I would love with it is seriously nerfing carriers turret-wise while increasing their fighter and drone capacity as battleships take their role as the heavy-hitters. Carriers could be limited to small turrets for anti-fighter close combat support and anti-missile support (sometime in the future when turrets can actually shoot missiles) while battleships with destroyer support would be the hammer of the fleet.

Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
I'm not a fan of outright copy and pasting ships with different stats.
Those are the models of the XL traders, by teh way, in case anyone was wondering: viewtopic.php?p=4802596

1. reading description (it's mentioned in description which models i used)
2. giving correct information. It's not XL-Traders, it's the Resupplier-Models i used. (Models that so far have not been implemented into the game for some reason)
If u are not interested, just don't use it. And if u have proper, constructive criticism, go on, i'll take it. But please... leave me alone with those useless comments and your self-advertising in other threads.

Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
Resuppliers are by definition XL traders (they are class "ship_xl" and purpose "trade") and are fully implemented in game, they are just missing their "ship" tag on their ware.Blackscorp_81 wrote: ↑Thu, 20.

I did give you my opinion, which is that I don't like copy and pastes of the game's base models with just stats changes, the link was just to explain where the ships are from since that explanation is on the OP.
Re: [MOD] Faction Battleships
Dude, I have no idea where your negativity comes from. The game was in dire need of serious capital ships and there were some unused assets, which could be used in the meantime before we get our new toys in vanilla. I love the designs and I'm dying to test them out as soon as I get the credits to buy one (not just there yet on my current save, but getting close). Also they were clearly not XML traders, most of the stuff was placeholder for them, which is probably where the purpose comes from - it had to parse somehow. Since the game is clearly designed around multiple small ships with capital support rather than capital battles it's not much of a stretch to expect them to be resupply ships, that carry ammunition for the fighters and frigates. Perhaps even for other capital ships with the use of cargo drones.carmaster wrote: ↑Thu, 20.

Actually I can't wait for them to be implemented as resuppliers.
