[MOD] Stations Job 1.21

[stylesrj]

I had this run on the AI Station type B and i got to a point where my drone control was destroyed so i couldn't repair anything and a lanius was boarded and couldn't leave because i killed the enemy ship too fast so it was destroying everything. Suffice it to say i got killed (And it was my best run yet) which brings the question: Is there a way to make drone control auto repair like the rest of the systems or is it hardcoded into the game?

Drone Control should fix itself automatically on automated ships. Unless it got breached. If your Drone Control System gets breached, then you're out of luck. Unless you get a Repair Bomb. Then you can repair the system that way, then use the Repair Drone to fix the breach.

Makes me wounder if when the Ai ships go from place holder to real deal would they be able to have a few ai holograms pop up at the start of the game as most of CE's ai stations got holograms.

Yeah that might have been it I think.

How do holograms even work I thought you couldn't make new races or modify them?

They already exist in-game but were removed from being made playable. It's only a matter of just adding them back. You can also change the name to Hologram but in the code they'll still be RACE_GHOST

I thought i'll give a preview of the type C engi station which is almost done. Originally i divided it into two separate sections and the only way to access the other section was to let a crewmember die and reappear in the clonebay in the other section, but then I reconsidered, because at one moment all your crewmembers could end up in the second section. The other idea was to link some doors manually, but that made crew movement a little glitchy. Right now it looks like this:



and this... could be the new type B. It's pretty much a recouloured version of the type B from CE, but right now i'm not sure if I should replace the old one...

Quite nifty station you got there and a much higher leap in quality then the some of the older works here.

I do have to ask what exactly will the artillery be as it may change quite a lot. I think it should be something along the lines of an ion or heavy laser weapon because the Engi main arsenal consists of some beams, heavy lasers, and ions (as well as drones). I do like the overall layout. However I do wonder about the type B for the station... a few questions if you may...

Question 1: Why do you want it to be a new colour layout instead of the normal type B? I can understand having your own colour schemes and stuff and not trying to limit your creativity, but it's just a curious observation.

Also some colouring errors are present, here's my fix for it.


It helps it have more depth and a lil bit of contrast in the colours instead of having it 100% in 1 colour.


Question 2: I was thinking about the vintage rebel station and I was just thinking it may be more practical if I simply just do a recolour to the old colour scheme instead of make it from scratch. I can easily make a type B and C colour using the "vintage" and "vintage elite" colour schemes.

Did anyone ever manage to get to the boss(If there even is a boss), and if so what is the boss like?

You're facing Phase 2 of the Flagship with a full crew and a "time limit" as you have no fuel. I don't think there's a Power Surge though and I think the rooms are all connected. It's been a while since I did get to the boss.

much like Stylesrj said, however instead of a power surge it has ASB back up. Which can be considered worse then the power surge.

The Engi C artillery will be an ion laser that also inflicts system damage.

Question 1: Why do you want it to be a new colour layout instead of the normal type B? I can understand having your own colour schemes and stuff and not trying to limit your creativity, but it's just a curious observation.

Considering that the Engi stations don't really differ much from the original Engi ships in shape or colour then I thought it would be more interesting to at least change the colour so they wouldn't look so similar.

Yes, do as you wish. That's fine too.


Just another preview, here is the new AI station I made a few days ago:
