What is this? It’s a lot of things in one package, lovingly assembled from my terrible ideas and a love for Starsector. This mod adds a bunch of new ships that I thought would be fun, a new optional boss faction for those looking for a challenge, an isolated world at the edge of the sector housing the remains of a fallen nobility, secret things to find for those who go out to explore the stars and a few things more. There’s no clear design goal here beyond me making what I feel like making. I hope you find something to enjoy amongst my various creations.

Some Ship Previews:
This is not a complete list of everything in the mod as listing every single ship here would both spoil some surprises and is also getting unfeasible with how much stuff I’ve been adding. Some of these sprites may be somewhat outdated, too, as I don’t run much maintenance on these previews.

But there is one thing…..when i look at Nessie i just see two mean faces, sorry but can’t really help it.
Nice to see this on the forum. I might write some slightly detailed about the ships later on, once I finish the IBB run. One bit I can say now is that Korikaze frigates seem to be pretty strong for their weight, and they get a boost when near the cruiser.
Not sure which version you are running, but I tuned down the Korikaze recently. Will have another look if it’s still a bit strong. Will probably bump up their supply value to ~8
Great looking mod.

Blame David for that one. He clearly made it so the Gremlin’s phase coil looks like a face.
Nessie just reminds me of a T-shirt I’ve got – a picture of the Loch Ness Monster, with “Believe in yourself… even if no-one else does.” It’s a good name for a phase cruiser.
