[MOD] Rise of the Ossian Raider v2.0 and ashipmod

[Xfan989]

I'm already on a Taranis. Though the ship was build before 2.2.

[unit757]

You will have to rebuild it, changes to a ship do not apply to ships built before the change. I can confirm a fresh built ship on 2.2 does have the additional stuff.

Looks amazing sco, awesome job!

Buying a new ship indeed fixed the missing LODs.
Now take your time with the mod, if you somehow manage to get the engines fixed the ship will look even better.

[unit757]

Did you ever try having the two top L turrets up closer to the superstructure on the balanced version, where the V Launchers normally sit in Rebirth? Thought about adjusting them myself so they are a bit more useful, wasn't sure though if you tried it and they had issues shooting the ship like the underside one did.

Thank you for the script, will include it within the next version.

Never tried, do you have a picture of the position you mentioned?
Aren't they useful at the current position?

[unit757]

Not overly, no. They are sunk to far down to engage anything infront of the ship, so they're limited to broadside and rear targets. My battery of small plasmas at the front usually end up doing the majority of the work.

The area I'm aiming at, large flat area on both sides at the back of the rear superstructure. Looks big enough to fit the large gun model, Rebirth has a pair of astrobee launchers (not V launchers, sorry) placed there. Provided it doesn't try and shoot itself that spot would give them better coverage.

Ah ok, in the battleship variant, there are turrents on this position. Under certain circumstances they will shoot through the hull, but it is to a lesser degree.

Version 3.0 with some bug fixes and the Arawn is released.

I am testing with new engines and got a problem, see in this thread viewtopic.php?f=181&t=411370.
Maybe someone has a clue?

[Xfan989]

Is it intentional that Arawn uses the Paranid XL Bridge?

I tried something new and liked the paranid bridge more as the argon one.

[unit757]

A bit of a shame, but bridge choice can easily be fixed on the users end.

Little bug on the Arawn, the aft radar behind the bridge is on it's side, looks kinda funny.

Good job on the ship though! Looks the best of the 3 IMO, the ships larger size helps hide the oversized engines better.

Ok just one request - DON'T add more weapons to the ship, lol.


Also, is it possible to change the base speed of the ship? Because 200+ m/s feels kinda akward, considering in previous games capital ships would not go faster than 50-80 m/s.

I changed both things in 3.1 and will flight with paranid cockpit on my own version.

I think the paranid bridge was a good choice for the more rounded arawn.

Here is my bit about the layout.
The docks in the Arawn are bad.... AI will not be able to use them.
At the top of the internal Docks i was able to clip into the model very easily
please do not group turrets and engines together. bad karma

Yeah i saw it, but it was a workaround for the hole in the ship.
Why not group turrets and engines? So i save some shield placements.

I'm having difficulty getting this mod to work. I have the GOG version of X4. I unpacked the mod files in the extensions directory in my documents folder, and the ships do not load. I then placed it in the extensions folder I created in the Root\game directory and still the ships do not load. Any advise?

it should looks like:
