Description:
This mod redistributes and renames XR Ship Pack ships to make them more lore friendly.
Why?
*cough* I mean, I couldn't stand seeing the badass Argon-built Omicron Lyrae ships being held by the Holy Order of the Pontifex.
It didn't make sense, so I decided to reshuffle where the ships would spawn and be sold.
This was my actual first mod of X4, I've been running it for a few months now. It's still rough, but it's stable (I guess).
batteries at the NPC Shipyards, you may need to go to another faction's
equipment dock.
Added a workaround for -kron class ships weapons with version beta3.
This mod is best played on a new game.
But it will also work on existing games, it just won't replace any of the built ships by a faction, you'll have to wait for new AI orders to see the change in AI fleets.
It is also save game compatible as far as you still need XR Ship Pack, but removing this mod will revert the shipgroups (list from which AI choose their build order) and the warelist (the list the player has access when buying stuff) to the one of the original mod.
Changes:
As for the logic of my reshuffling and renaming, it goes like this:
(Note: Shipgroups are the list of ships that the AI will use and build, it is different to the list of the ship they sell.)
♦ All the Omicron Lyrae ships have been moved to the Antigone Republic (ANT) Shipgroup.
Omicron Lyrae ship's renaming scheme was done by trying to match them with their XR equivalent, if there's none I came up with a name that end in "kron" to make them fit. The Antigone Republic has an extensive Argon database, so that's why they have those plans.
(because of this change I also recommand to download Lint5's Paranid Guardians for balance of the Paranids)
♦ All the Teladi (TEL) military ships added by XR Ship Pack have been added to the Paranid (PAR) and Holy Order (HOP) Shipgroups. For balance and because the Teladi would sell anything to anyone for profitssss.
All the TEL ships have been renamed to keep with the bird theme naming scheme.
♦ All the Split ships have been renamed to fit with the wild animal theme. No change in distribution.
♦ All the Canteran military ships have been moved to the Terran Shipgroup which is shared with the Segaris Pioneers (PIO).
Because Cantera was a Terran colony. Eventually I'll try to create a Shipgroup just for Segaris to move them there, since it makes more sense that the Terran would offload their old tech to Segaris.
Also, since I haven't changed any of the ship's recipe, that probably means that the Terran economy will now need to trade some resources with the rest of the galaxy to maintain their legacy ships. A nice side effect if you ask me.
♦ The Terran battleship has been moved to the ATF(most powerful Terran military) and renamed with a Japanese city name.
♦ The rest of the ships that are either made by some random private company or use the "common platform" developed by the Alliance of the Word (ALI) have been moved around following their aesthetics. Tough, the Teladi will use and sell all of them.
There's a handy table of all the changes in the gallery and down the description (I lost the original table I used to make these change with their lore justification, so this one might be a bit inaccurate).
