The Aurora changes are going to make it an absolute murderboat, which I wholeheartedly support.

Seems like it ate a nerf if anything, since it can no longer mount a Large missile. Certain missile types that are only available on Large mounts are now out, and the potential number of torpedoes it can carry has been reduced. I'm not really complaining since I don't really like flying Auroras and they're mean things to fight, but I don't see this as a buff.

So does that mean that they'll bounce and then they'll arm? Looking forward to sweet goon suicide gifs itt.

Bonus points if the reaper torpedo's are spinning like carnival fireworks around the map as a result.

The Aurora already had flux stats so far beyond its hardpoints that you basically had to go straight into Heavy Blasters to use it. Opening up new options for a forward battery of poo poo like AM Blasters is going to enable some hilariously bursty loadouts.

Opening up new options for a forward battery of poo poo like AM Blasters is going to enable some hilariously bursty loadouts. Yeah I guess, but I already did use heavy blasters because there aren’t a whole lot of good medium energy weapons—heavy blasters, pulse lasers, and phase lances. Mods add good, low flux medium energy weapons, and maybe then I’d put more energy weapons on the front. All those hardpoints still scream “missiles”, though, especially since they can’t take a good ballistic shield buster. Antimatter blasters are kind of similar to reaper missiles in functionality. They have more charges and can’t be shot down, but they do less damager per shot and generate loads of flux. With as many hardpoints as the Aurora has, and the ordnance point difference, I think I’d still prefer reapers.

Bold Robot posted:That owns. Is the mod balanced well against vanilla? Decently, except for the part where they almost always roll up a ridiculous doom fleet to poo poo all over Jangala. Their ships are basically Hegemony ones but slower and with everything focused in the forward arc. Most of their guns have ridiculous range but bad dps. They tend to fall apart if you do anything that doesn't let them line up and plink.

Imp Centurions make for a decent alternative to the Enforcer bowling ball, with the medium Hornet missiles subbing in for the Annihilators. Not quite as killy but a bit more resilient, fluxwise.

The weapons they just got in the last patch seem pretty solid as well. 800 range HE rounds in a light ballistic slot do solid work.

Dear god, the Stalker from Pirates+ is loving mean. With the hullmods and hypervelocity drivers and railguns on, coupled with officer skills and the sensor drones, you can be hitting people at like 3000 units with that motherfucker. It can even reliably kill poo poo like onslaughts just by staying out of range of it :|

Is there anything to use marines for outside of boarding actions? I see references to using them on the ground, but that doesn't seems to be a real feature yet.

^Conquest in Nexerelin mod Tartiflette posted this beast Diable Avionics teaser.  In other mod news Ive been working on BRDY as usual, got a new destroyer in the works and some more polish and changes, might do a release with the new destroyer or hold it back longer to make some utility frigs too (tanker, courier, scoutship), we'll see SHAOLIN FUCKFIEND fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Feb 15, 2016 |

I just realized I bought this game in 2012 when it was still Starfarer. Is it anywhere near finished now? Is that going to show up on Steam at some point? I remember my first impression being "OK this looks cool I'll play it when it's complete".

They seemed awfully low compared to vanilla/other mods fighters in my last Nexelerin playthrough.

What Omni said, vanilla will keep you entertained for hours and once you feel like you've seen all there is to see SS+ and nex will really keep you occupied. Some forums goers really like some of the other overhauls like Ironclad but I haven't tried em. EDit - also you da man shaolin fuckfiend nice work bruh Double Edit - Is emp damage only for ship systems or does it also affect shields? I only ask because I use phase lances as like an Alpha strike to break shields/overload targets and I was wondering if removing the emp damage means less dmg to shields.
