About this mod
Skull & Bones is an expansion of Pirate factions. Variety of pirate-owned ships has been diversified and a few new, pirate-unique models have been added.
The goal is to build up on Plundering & Boarding mechanics of the game - players will have opportunities to "liberate" different ships from the outlaws, including their (new) flagship

This mod is an expansion for X4:Reemergence, however, it is playable as standalone as well.
v1.0 focuses entirely on SCA, Yaki & FAF updates will follow in the future!
Skull & Bones focuses on expanding pirate factions (SCA, FAF, Yaki) by adding new pirate themed ships and expanding Pirate ship rosters with existing ships (including compatibility with other mods!). Pirates will have a slightly stronger presence in the universe and the ships they use will no longer be limited to select few models. Instead, pirate factions will use whatever they realistically would be able to capture and have access to in their area of space.

factions will use following ships:
SCA: commonwealth (S, M, L), VIG (S, L) and SCA-unique ships (unique S & XL)
FAF (future update!): Split ships (S, M, L, XL)
Yaki (future update!): Paranid, Terran and Yaki-unique ships (S, M, L)
Skull & Bones features built-in support for (optional) mods:
FINISHED SHIPS
FINISHED WEAPONS
SCA Galleon XL Carrier --
Flagship of SCA warlords. The ship is a captured, refitted and reworked version of a civilian vessel, with ample carrier capabilities and hilariously unbalanced weapon loadoutstupid enough worthy of being a pirate flagship. It will be a very rare sight, obtainable only via boarding ops. The act of boarding this ship can be considered a "boss fight" - it is a rare spawn and is always escorted by a fleet of considerable strength consisting of destroyers and multiple fighter wings.
SCA Brigantine L Cruiser --
nothing goes to waste with the pirates! This Frankenstein's monster appears to have been pieced together from parts of destroyed or decommissioned Teladi Carriers and Auxiliaries.Brigantine's armaments are better thought out compared to Galleon's, however, she is not able to support a major flight wing like her bigger mate. As a side effect of being constructed from massive TEL vessels, Brig's cargo hold is unusually large - perfect for raiding parties.As with the Galleon, Brig can only be obtained through boarding action.
SCA Blastclaw S Bomber --
Pirates are bringing some firepower! Blastclaw will be capable of launching a single sticky/incendiary bomb that will deal damage over time. Blastclaws will be found escorting large SCA vessels or on solo pirate missions. You will be able to buy blueprints off the SCA representative, however, they will NOT build it for you. Make the dear old rustbucket yourself or make the pilot bail out and claim legitimate salvage like a real pirate!
note: Blastclaw, being the same ship type, is cross-compatible with OTAS Notus' weapons.
