Question, did you balance the weapons after the changes? If you did, please look into balancing Strike Craft some more. I've tried Strike Craft extensively as a massive fan of them and it seems like they've been nerfed into and through the ground. Where before strike craft only/heavy build was viable until super late game, now even T3 in early/mid game do negligible damage. To the point where auxillary small weapons were doing 5-10x more.

Ok you can get a similar effect by using the ironman version along with a different fleet spacing mod, if anyone else is like me and really likes the visuals but not the combat computer changes

Is there any chance of a version of this mod where the combat computers aren't changed? The effects are amazing and i know why the change was made, but it ruins some designs (specifically the ones with artillery computers that run away from enemy ships) and that's very sad:(

3.14 Patch? Going back to 3.14 while everyone is updating <3

Mate your mod is peak thanks that my eyes can witness something that beautyful

Hey, thank you for the awesome mod. I'm having an issue with the autocannons, when they fire its just a stream of yellow rectangles that spew in random directions without actually hitting a ship. Is this an issue with 4.0?

Thank you for the mod! Yep, seems to be only those systems. Otherwise it's working great. Faster space battles add-on helps a bit too in the meantime.

Hope all is well and everything goes well IRL <3

@Seifer No worries, I've been rlly bussy irl and had some time but not a lot. It will get done :)

@Paladin Dawnheart Yeah its only for marauders tough it seems

@duecan
Wow. I came here to see if this was the reason it was taking my 100k fleet 10 years to clear out the Marauder systems, while simultaneously sitting near the sun and going around in circles. Looks like I found the problem.

i don't want to come across as trying to rush you as i understand that coding takes a while, but i wanted to ask how the mauler update is coming along? this mod is very much one of my favorites.

@Randy Iamtheliquor Yes it is. The thing that changes in battles is sublight speed, you were right :)

Gotcha , sorry i didnt know my bad. So I assume it's normal ?
ps thanks for replying

@Randy Iamtheliquor Ah I see, I remember now. I conflated it with subspace speed. (also plz no links in comments) :)

@duecan i suggest you learn the sacred art of reading the mod description.

Is there any way to have this mod with the improved graphical quality of ship combat without the weird re-balancing? Not at all enjoyable to have my ships suddenly get SMACKED with a -99% sublight speed penalty after initiating combat.

I get you want the battles to take *longer* but it took my fleet TWO YEARS to get within ballistics range of a space amoeba

@Randy Iamtheliquor No, its only inside combat. Are you sure you do not have any other mods activated?

So its normal that this mod give -50% fire rate even outside combat. Its the only mod activated

@Randy Iamtheliquor "Real space ships in scaling" is not compatible with asb. Thats why you see that

no its a debuff outside combat. I just checked my whole modlist this one and Real space ship scaling give a debuff of -100% ( in total) when both are use so all fleet have a power of 1 because the fire rate is a -1 damage per second.

If i remove both mod, I dont see that debuff

@Randy Iamtheliquor Ships get fire rate debuff when in a battle among other things to make battles last longer

For some reason, this mod give all my ships a -67% fire rate debuff at the start of a new game.

Its the only mod activated

@Zabadak Alright, I think that will be a ez fix

@Chickenhunt Yes the paradox titans are vanilla. They are the titan variant you get with cosmogenesis Level 4. With your mod they are missing the Ancient Ruination Glare weapon component even if it is researched.

Strangely, every aspect of this mod is working except the combat targeting ai. It's still only shooting one ship at a time.

Is it possible to further improve the mauler？

Just wanted to say this is one of the best mods ever made for Stellaris. I hope you keep updating it in the far future!

Does this mod work properly if enabled mid-save, or is a new game recommended/required?

@Chickenhunt I don't know what am I doing wrong but autocannons are shooting yellow squares and they are not even aiming at the target's Z-axis. Everything else works fine though. Other than some ships slowing down before they reach the maximum weapon range.

@Private Pyle You could try and change beams to projectiles and make them very fast for your mod. I think that would create the visuals you want.

@Jackoboi The mod is also still compatible with 3.14 as well as v4+

@Yetha23 Yes. do you have problems with autocannons?

@СиллЕсски Only the mauler class bioship has an small issue with behavior atm but all the other features work good

@Loke Can you clarify? Do you mean you want more spread out defense platforms or choose the locations?

@Zabadak Hi there, thnx :)
What do you mean with paradox titans? are those vanilla?

@Chickenhunt This Mod is deactivating the Weapon ship Component "Ancient Ruination Glare" for Paradox Titans. Only for them! On normal Titans its still there.
I tried to deactivate this Mod and the Weapon is back again. And if i reactivate this mod, its gone again.
So its defenitifely this Mod.
Otherwise very good work!

i used to have the defenseplatforms be spaced around the solar system around the timer i first installed this, but i had some error with some mods and managed to fix that error but now the spacing for the platforms is back to being centered around the starbase. is there a fix for this or is there some other mod that can help making it a reality again? thanks!

Do bioships work fine with this mod now? I just saw in the comments that bioships don't attack or stand still with this mod. I hope the translator translated my text correctly

3.14 version please?

do autocannons work in any version?

Is there a way to make laser bolts instead of laser beams? Like in Star Wars for example? I wanted to build a Laser Bolt Mod around ASB, but I cant get it to work.

@ΞX Dane Hmm, that doesn't seem that bad :p
I never played with the giga mod but it seems to me that if you can get an entire moon to attack something that's super strong anyways xD

thnx :)

@Chickenhunt To give some examples. Celestial warships (Attack Moons) on Gigastructres mod or the Star-fish fleet on Ancient empires 2.0 are far harder with ASB enabled. For some reason their DPS remains about the same but their toughness / durability is far better due to the slower combat pace.

**NSC** is working perfectly with it but anything else I've tried gave me headaches. I love this mod for what it does, its just the (i think unintended) difficulty with non vanilla stuff.

The ironman version doesn't include some of the features I like in the mod unfortunately. But I can probably work around it if that's the only option

@ΞX Dane ASB should work with other ship-sets, what do you mean specifically?

@SirTopNotch Thank you! You can get the Ironman version if you dont want the combat behavior changes

@KaedeVon Intended

@Neon Maulers are not behaving as intended, I am working on update. Meanwhile all other parts of the mod are working.

Understood thank you!

@Vert It works with previous versions such as v3.14 (except pre-2.1.3)
