[MOD]DeadAir Mods pt2

Incredible work. DW about your creativity

Is it possible to omit the extra directory in the faction mods and in the gate mod so one can clone the mods directly into the extensions folder? Or will you upload the mods to steam again once 4.0 is released?

They'll be on steam as well once I get them 4.0stable+coh updated. Sorry about the PITA directory, I did it so I wouldn't have people wondering about folder name

Fair enough, thank you!

DeadAir AI Tweaks looks very, very interesting judging from the main bullets and I'm thinking of using it in my new 4.0 playthrough.
It looks like a mod that should precisely fill gaps in some vanilla mechanisms.

Have a few questions though:
- how does it "increase capabilities of 1,2,3,4 star pilots"?
- what approximate experience gain should I expect compared to vanilla?
- was it made on top of 4.0 beta or 3.30?
- do you recommend to use it in main playthrough or consider it to be in testing phase as it's quite fresh mod? I mean most of changes looks quite safe, but not sure about longer term AI changes.

In the game 1,2,3, and 4 star pilots have reduced acceleration, speed, and turning rates. This brings 3 and 4 star pilots up to the level of 5 star but they still have increased reaction time. It buffs 1 and 2 star pilots to not be as severe of a penalty.

The changes I made to experience gain are slightly increased rates but also that certain activities don't cap out at low levels. Previously you could have a ship mining for an infinite amount of time but it was never possible to reach 5 stars.

These changes were made based on 4.0 beta files. Any of the files can be removed if there is a different solution you prefer or if you don't like the change.

Hi, I would like to know if the mods "DeadAir Dynamic Wars, TaterTrader, still work or are they kept up to date.

Ok ok, anyway I take the mods on github, another question all your mods are compatible with each other (new and old). If you want I'm translating the new mods into French tell me and I'll give them to you once tested by discord.

Makes sense.

Haven't tought about removing unpreferred changes but it seems that all of them are welcome in my game.
I'll just keep an eye on "Factions will use ships further from the front lines for offense and defense" behaviour.

Thanks for sharing your work.

Appreciate it as always! The only mod that is no longer being supported is deadair gate overhaul as it was too much work to maintain.

Thought I'd share a quick psa regarding CoH:

It will take me some time to get everything debug free and ready for CoH. I wasn't one of the people chosen for early access so as soon as it releases, I have to play catch up.

The faction mods, fill, gate, dynamic wars, and ai tweaks should be fine without updates.

Ware, God, and jobs will certainly require an update to apply my changes to the new factions. If you can't contain your excitement and wait, ware and jobs should be able to apply retroactively but will likely have some consequences for the economy. God only applies to new games (or initial spawn) so if you want the changes to apply to new factions, you should wait to start new game / continue save for when it's updated.

Thanks for the continued work on your mods. Really enjoy the mods in my game plays, look forward to when they are updated (when time permits).

Hi, I just started a new game with all your updated mods and updated Vro-lite. I notice that if we start from one of the four new sectors it is impossible to buy a ship in these new sectors because the "Internal Generator" of VRO is not available, but in the vanilla sectors it is available.

I just uploaded a hotfix for vro-lite an hour ago and there was an update for deadairfactions-vro late last night.

I just went in game and tested it, was able to buy ships without issue. Double check that you have the newest version and let me know if you are still getting issues.

I totally appreciate your mods but I miss the dedicated dynamic war starts the old version just keeps crashing

There is one "advanced" start with damarr currently but I do have plans on adding some more. Right now I have a lot of bug hunting and balancing to do though.
