Hmm. Jammy had a point. I think what he was trying to express was the frustration encountered
by some of us when we discover that a newly enabled ships/faction mod has,well,material out-of-balance with existing mods loaded. And...that's a very diplomatic way of saying "Hey,this mod sure looks nice,and is well done. Wish we'd noticed something in your documentation blurb that pointed-out relative power-level vs.,say,vanilla." (and that's as constructive as you;ll get,sir. Nice work,can't use it tho. Thanks,though.)

Very nice storyline. It seems you are a writer,as well as a programmer. One skill sometimes resides with the other,I have noticed. ;) Do you practice Zen? You express a meditative angle here...but also one of higher awareness. Uncommon.

Checking to see if I can get an invite to the Reassembly discord. The one posted in comments below looks like it's expired.

If you don't like the mod then don't play it. You don't have to throw salt in comments

You are awesome. We need more modders like you, who read and respond to the posts. I really hope to see more future mods from you. Each faction is like a whole new campaign and completely different strategy.

I admit though, that my favorite is the Chalce Collective. I love the way your promote asymmetry and broadside fighting.

There are a few options of learning
Reassembly discord has a lot of people willing to teach. If you join, you can ping me for help: https://discord.gg/sDgxchWr

There are also some guides that can help you get started. I would strongly recommend this one by prototype, but I've also made a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ video guide if you're interested

How did you make custom blocks?

Whenever I make faction mods, I usually try to keep everything balanced and then throw in 2-3 funny weapons with 0 regard for any fairness

So far the only "crazy" weapons are the thermite cannion and the harbringer but the harbringer doesnt explode on contact.

First of all, thank you so much for the complements. It really means a lot. To address the issues, I added R collectors to the mod post-release because I forgot, and never finished updating ships because burnout. I'll get on that right now. As for railguns, the way they work is they fire a free bullet and an invisible pulse laser does the actual damage. This can get buggy when many railguns are fired at once, and energy is quickly dissipated, but the "bullet" still fires. You said you had plenty of energy though, so I will definitely check that out.

The one criticism I would have is the R storage/ collection range. They hardly have any storage and the range to pickup/drop off your load is terrible. You can hardly deposit your R at the stations because you cant reach the core. I had to redesign all the space stations in order to collect any credits. Also, some of the weapons randomly do not deliver any damage, even with plenty of energy (railgun). It would take me 2 min to destroy a ship, then I would turn around a one-shot the same ship with the same weapons. Though maybe I misunderstood how they should work.

This is absolutely gorgeous. Ikswa (IMO) makes the best looking Reassembly mods hands down. It is hard to make a ugly ship in this mod and the weapon effects are mesmerizing. The Antecedents are a hard faction to play. The are a bit under powered and not very competitive, if that is your shtick. But, its a awesome challenge with a amazing pay-off at the end, when you get the ultimate weapons. Do to the challenge, getting revenge on old enemies with the ultimate weapons is a glorious feeling that made all the hard work worth it.

good job on the lore.

I forgot to add tractor blocks until after release. I will get to adding them later. In terms of reverse thrust, I honestly don't care that much. They were built to look cool and nothing else

Cool lore, very pretty blocks... but none of the designs have proper backwards or sideways thrust and just get stuck on everything. And the factory designs seem to lack tractors so resource depositing is impossible without noclipping.
