Combomod alternative

[Moonster]

Hi, i was given permission to edit combomod since it was abbadoned while ago, many features and other stuff werent working correctly with crunchygremlin's blackbox.

So while i was fixing some stuff, i also redone the mod a bit. Heres the slight overview:


- Done some balancing to weapons and other modules
-Fixed some not working weapons with the newest BlackBox version.
-Edited a bit tech tree
-Disabled some custom ship hulls since they were clearly poor quality and odd looking
-Added new explosion animation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IILg5Xqe6b4
-Changed modules mass to make bigger ships way slower than the smaller ones.
-Edited starting racial traits for more fun.
-Edited racial trait costs for harder choices in selecting bit OP ones.
-Added quite a lot new ship designs with new high end modules to make mid-end game more challenging.

If anyone is interested give it a try and report any issues, including balance of races and modules.

I was thinking, after playing starsector about changing some weapon effects.
In short:
Balistic weapons - good vs shields, weak against shields
Energy cannons - good vs armors, bad vs shields
Beam weapons - same as energy cannons but with lower dps, mainly used against fighters(since this mod gives fighters quite huge buff better weapons,shields,speed etc)
Missiles - 100% shield penetration and will have biggest damages from all weapons, with new anti missile PD weapons might be hard to land that many hits).

Hello Its nice to see this game still has a following. I like blackbox mod but does thisone include other mods aswell. I like the buildings in Overdrive so I wanted to ask is this a combination of those and more mods?

This is from the combomod topic in Sd forums when it was developed by another person.

Merges:
-Dauntless race + modules (v1.1)
-Tsunari Race (v1.0)
-most of XX01 (v0.45)
-Tim's mod (v2.5)
-Gidmods hull fixes (latest)
-The buildings and a couple of modules from Overdrive (v1.61)
-Isahn's Rayleh Engine Fixes (latest)

So i guess it has the overdrive buildings:)

My version of combo mod is just edited one of the oryginal since it wasnt that well polished. Also since it wasnt updated, some of the modules and other stuff didnt work properly with new versions of black box. I noticed that when i played oryginal Combomod with black box, so I voluntered to fix it, and since i was fixing stuff i also take the liberty to shape the gameplay a bit into my liking and add some other things.

In short Blackbox fixes the oryginal game, Combo mod add new stuff in(if im not mistaken its the biggest mod out there for SD), you can play with both on.
