CMUtils mod as a dependency!
It’s slightly bare bones as a faction at the moment, but the ship systems feature the most extensive and well made drone based features in the modiverse.
I know you got some gifs somewhere, you should show them off!
The Kiruna seems like an interesting frigate. Pretty fast with good armor, flux and a powerful front facing armament. Very wide for a frigate so it’s difficult to dodge shots, it’s so wide in fact that its front facing shield can be pretty easily avoided. Overall, I’d say it’s a nice frigate. I’m having a hard time getting a handle on its system, the Bastion, which produces drones. I like how you can cycle different formations and recall them using the system, but more often than not they seem to just fly off straight past what I’m fighting and stay out there until I recall them. The AI usually has a better go at controlling them when I try putting it on autopilot, so it could just be user error. Also the drones it produces die when they’re looked at sternly, but I guess it sort of has to be that way considering the circumstances of it being a frigate and they can be fabricated during battle.
The Denmark may very well become one of my favorite ships in the game. Its system is so cool, the defence formation works great for PD and close fire support while the focus formation is such a neat visual of all three drones joining together to fire out a blazing red energy beam.
Those are the only two ships I’ve had time to play around with this morning, but I am excited to see what else you have in store for us.
The images really don’t do this justice.

Will get around to it shortley.
absolutely love these ships. They look very pleasing to my eyes, thank you for making them.
No worries, thanks!
Neat! You’ve really nailed the high-tech drone-centric look. You certainly have my interest and I wanted to give some first impressions.

That Kiruna behaviour is a capital B bug and will be fixed very soon, along with some other suicidal behaviour I’ve noticed for the AI using the denmark/serrano shipsystem.
The Composite Drone Armour hullmod is available as loot, has 0 cost and is equippable on any ship. Surely not intended?
no, that’s a mistake, it’s meant to be available through commissioned crews only. I’ll patch it soonish, enjoy the freebie until then
With a Freighter, Tanker and Troop Transport i feel the AI won’t have to rely on Vanilla Ships for carrying their fuel, supplies and marines. Specially with Nex invasions and raids.
I like this mod a lot, hope you continue to add more ships to make it a full roster.
