Mods whose version really moved forward, newest first. tag:starmodder,2026:releases Starmodder 2026-08-25T01:48:12Z tag:starmodder,2026:release/navarchy-of-tania/1.1.0 2026-08-25T00:00:00Z Navarchy of Tania went from 1.0.2 to 1.1.0. Update: GUNS! GLORIOUS GUNS! - As the name suggests, added several guns for Navarchy of Tania to use: Small: * Sirius Gatling Gun * Osório Support Gun * Bison Torpedo Launcher * Thorn Cannon * Agulha Defense System * Carbonite Jetstream * Boomerang MRM Launcher * Fafnir HV Cannon Large: * Fafnir HV Artillery * The Nidhogg * Bison Torpedo Pod * Garra Autocannon * Acid Howitzer Ship Changes: - Aracari: * Large weapon slot is now composite (was ballistic); ' No Navarchy of Tania ship had large missile slots until now, and Aracari seems to be the perfect host for this, as a 40 DP cruiser that is designed to be a "marvel". Flexibility should be its core goal anyways, so the catch here is adding another refit option. You can go full guns and use the most of its Solaris Phalanx ship system, or go for a missile oriented build, with its large missile weapon being supplied by a Missile Autoforge, your choice! - Battlecruiser package: * Set Missile Autoforge cooldown to 30 seconds (was a period between 10 and 15 seconds); * Added special enhancement for Boomerang SRM Launcher in combination with this hullmod; * Speed penalty for installing Converted Hangar on modules is now reduced to capital ship levels; * Improved description readability. - Aetos: * Improved Visuals; * Added Thermal Calibration hullmod: reduces large ballistic weapons base range by 15%; * Reverted max speed to 80 (was reduced to 60 in the last patch). - Touraco: * Increased max speed to 80 (was 70). - Black Hawk: * Increased max speed to 55 (was 50). !!! Variants now use new weapons provided by this update; !!! Adjusted flux stats for modules, so point defenses can be used properly; !!! Optimized graphics, so less particles are used by ship systems, improving hardware performance; !!! Improved ship AI, so vessels no longer will be as reckless as before (Onslaught Mk.1 be damned). Hullmod Changes: - Navarchy Armor Plate: * Speed penalty for installing Converted Hangar is now 30/15/5. (was 20/10/5 before); * Improved description readability. - Ancient Weapon Systems: * Shield damage penalty removed (a lot of people asked for this); * Reduced RoF penalty to 10% (was 15%); * Reduced weapon damage bonus to 10% (was 15%); * Reduced damage and hit strength vs hull/armor bonus to 10% (was 20%). !!! Several people complained about Remnants, Shroud and other high tech factions being awful to deal with due to low DPS against shields. However, in order to keep things fair, I also reduced efficiency against armor, so it does not become an overtuned hullmod. * Reduced weapon turn rate and damage vs fighters/missiles debuff to 25% (was 50%). ' Navarchy of Tania's weapons layout already don't favor point defense countermeasures due to low amounts of weaponry. They are being brutalized by Mine Strikes and Persean League's DEMs, which really undermines their capability as a faction and forces people to rely on point defense fighters to deal with that, which is not ideal. Extras: * Fixed (again) Siphon Fuel Industry being able to be built by the player; * Reduced blueprint and ship costs at Classified Hall submarket; !!! New weapon blueprints appearing at Classified Hall will require a new save, but otherwise, this update is save compatible (make sure to do backups though). tag:starmodder,2026:release/curatedships/5.0 2026-08-25T00:00:00Z CuratedShips went from 4.6 to 5.0. tag:starmodder,2026:release/nightcross-armory-corporation/2.1.3 2026-08-25T00:00:00Z Nightcross Armory Corporation went from 2.1.1 to 2.1.3. tag:starmodder,2026:release/junk-yard-dogs/3.7.0 2026-08-25T00:00:00Z Junk Yard Dogs went from 3.6.9 to 3.7.0.

Compatibility Do not bother using this in a current save. FOR ADVANCED USERS : There are some custom stations made by faction mods that do not incorporate Better Colonies station code.

Star Fortresses are now commandeered by an officer ranging from 17 up to a max level of 26 (from 12). An officer at this level will have up to 9 maxed skills. Levels of Mercenary Officers are now determined by the market's size. The higher the market size, the higher the possible max officer level and so on for lower. A Station commandeered by an Alpha Core will be level 29 given Gunnery Implants as a guaranteed skill. (Alpha Core would be level 20 in vanilla, this value is now able to be changed in the mod folder's setting.json whereas vanilla is hardcoded.) Cryorevival Facility will now produce organs when the market is a Free Port and has a certain population size above 4. tag:starmodder,2026:release/daedalus-forge-0-9-1-ship-skin-variant-editor/0.9.1 2026-08-25T00:00:00Z Daedalus Forge 0.9.1 - ship/skin/variant editor went from 0.9.0 to 0.9.1. tag:starmodder,2026:release/second-in-command-auxiliaries/1.3.0 2026-08-25T00:00:00Z Second-in-Command: Auxiliaries went from 1.2.1 to 1.3.0. - Updated the Storm aptitude, reworked and now with custom sprites made by Khepht! - Fixed the Legion skill from Valkyrie not working with ships spawned by the Storm aptitude - Fixed the Targeting Stabilizers skill text.

Update: Adjustments for 1.0.1 and a lil bug fix. Save compatible, but always do a backup! Disclaimer: I no longer will put notes explaining the changes, as I received feedback that people not read those to begin with. That being said, it will be easier for me to do and also will be more direct to the point for who wish to only know the stats and nothing else. Balance changes: - Argentavis: * Removed Flare Launchers from modules and reduced their hitpoints to 4000 (was 5000); * Reduced main hull hitpoints to 6000 (was 7000). - Touraco: * Removed Flare Launchers from modules; * Increased Deployment Points to 30 (was 28). - Aetos: * Decreased max speed to 60 (was 80); * Thermo-Accelerator ship system: Flux cost reduction to fire weapons was tuned down to 33% (was 66%). - Sandgrouse: * Reverted Deployment Points to its original 4 (was 3 in the last patch); * Decreased flux capacity to 3000 (was 4500); * Shield efficiency is now 0.7 (was 0.65); - Gralha: * Decreased max speed to 150 (was 165); * Improved Point Defense Core: Decreased point defense range bonus to 100 (was 200). - All Ships: * Shield Upkeep Flux Cost increased for: ¨ Black Hawk: 0.5 (was 0.25) ¨ Touraco, Argentavis and Aracari: 0.45 (was 0.25) ¨ Aetos and Merite: 0.35 (was 0.25); ¨ Sandgrouse and Gralha: 0.3 (was 0.25); * Ships now have reduced maneuverability (less deceleration and turn rate. They will feel more like muscle cars in terms of piloting, heavier to control but still fast). - Navarchy Armor Plate hullmod: * Converted Hangar no longer has performance that matches of a standard fighter bay; * Now reduces fighter engagement range by 60%; * Heavy Armor effectiveness is now increased by 50% (was doubled). - Ancient Weapon Systems hullmod: * Adding Ballistic Rangefinder hullmod no longer increases damage dealt, but now increases hit strength vs hull/armor by 15% (was 10%); * Reduced damage vs shields penalty to 15% (was 20%); * Fixed a typo regarding weapon recoil: its +50%, not -50%. It is a penalty that can be fixed by adding Dedicated Targeting Core, instead of Integrated Targeting Unit.   Extras: * Fixed the bug where players were able to build the Fuel Siphon Station Industry (that should be exclusive to Navarchy of Tania's Fuel Siphon Stations, which extract fuel from nebulae); * After cursing Version Checker more times than I can count, it is hopefully working now! tag:starmodder,2026:release/second-in-command-auxiliaries/1.2.0 2026-07-19T00:00:00Z Second-in-Command: Auxiliaries went from 1.1.1 to 1.2.0.

Update: (SAVE COMPATIBLE, BUT ALWAYS DO A BACKUP!) - Changed Crew Stats: * Sandgrouse: Skeleton (S): 35 Capacity (C): 60; * Gralha: S: 30 C: 50; * Merite: S: 50 C: 85: * Aetos: S: 70 C: 110; * Touraco: S: 300 C: 450; * Argentavis: S: 150 C: 225; * Aracari: S: 200 C: 300; * Black Hawk: S: 1000 C: 1500; ' Reason: Watching Duckie0012's streams, I noticed how quickly he needed transporter ships on his early game run, and with that, I though how this could be a hassle to anyone trying to get Navarchy of Tania ships. Based on this and comments from other people, I reduced the skeleton crew requirements and escalated the max crew capacity to be more flexible. That way players won't be constrained to use other vessels, thus allowing for better options to create compositions. - Ship Changes: * Black Hawk: Increased hitpoints to 15000 from main hull and modules (was 12500 and 13750 respectively) and increased shield arc to 40 (was 20); ' Reason: This ship lacks longevity in late game fights, specially in scenarios against multiple fleets, as hull and armor does not regenerate naturally. Not to mention that its lack of firepower forces the ship to trade hull/armor in order to outlive the enemy on engagements. To mitigate this, while keeping its original traits, I decided to increase its hull hitpoints, improving the effectiveness from skills like Combat Endurance and hullmods like Reinforced Bulkheads. In combats against weapons like Devastators, I noticed that some damage was passing through its shield, which can become really frustrating in clutch moments, so I decided to amplify its arc. This will allow Black Hawk to endure longer battles without having to rely on close calls to stay alive (there is a video showcasing it surviving with only 11 HP against a Third Strike Threat Fleet, check my YT channel); * Aetos: Increased module hitpoints and armor to 3500 and 750 respectively (was 2500 and 500); * Increased Ordnance Points (OP) to 60 (was 52); ' Reason: Upon further investigation, this vessel presented difficulties to perform due to limited amount of OP and its module being constantly destroyed. With these changes, it may now become more self relient and will carry its expensive weight in combat; * Merite: Decreased Deployment Points (DP) to 8 (was 9); ' Reason: This destroyer basically have 5 small weapons in total, which means that its damage is worse than frigates, resulting in an awkward spot between destroyers. Its speed and resilience is great, but not justifies the same price tag as an Enforcer, but its enough to compete against a Shrike, hence why it will now cost 8 DP; * Argentavis: Shield Arc increased to 60 (was 45); * Aracari: Shield Arc increased to 30 (was 20); ' Reason: Similarly to Black Hawk, those ships were suffering in clutch moments due to shields not being wide enough to cover the entire front, resulting in frustration moments when facing weapons like Devastators. * Sandgrouse: Decreased Deployment Points to 3 (was 4); ' Reason: With Vanguard Class Frigate having its DP cost reduced to 4 (check Starsector 0.98.5a Patch Notes), the Sandgrouse becomes automatically obsolete, as it is a frigate with only 3 weapons (+1 with module), which means that it does not have enough impact to carry its weight. To fix that, I reduced its DP to 3, so it becomes on par with Cerberus and Hound, having advantages in combat due to not having the same cargo capacity as combat freighters do. It is a resilient escort, that provides protection for more important units on the battlefield, and is fast enough to engage or distract enemies at will. - Peak Performance Time (PPT) changes: * Sandgrouse and Gralha: Increased PPT to 360 and 300 respectively (both were 270); * Merite and Aetos: '' to 480 (was 420); * Argentavis: '' to 600 (was 540); * Aracari and Touraco: '' to 720 (was 600/540); * Black Hawk: '' to 1200 (was 900); ' Reason: Navarchy of Tania's fleet doctrine involves disrupting frontlines by flanking and luring enemies out of position, which requires time. Also, the lack of firepower aggravates this issue, as it takes longer to finish targets, this can be noticeable specially against self replicating enemies or big waves of ships (Threat and Remnants). To prevent this issue to escalate further, I increased Peak Performance Time (PPT) from every ship in the roster, as Navarchy ships' time bomb should not be PPT, but yet their own hull/armor, which does not regenerate. This will give players more time to move ships around and fight the enemy cautiously, instead of rushing the battle due to Combat Readiness loss. - Navarchy Armor Plate Hullmod Changes: * All weapons now have reduced OP cost by 5 (was Point-Defense only); * Reinforced Bulkheads no longer has doubled effectiveness on modules; * Now fighters have reduced OP cost by 6; * Converted Fighter Bays on modules now decrease max speed by 20/10/5 depending on ship size (was 20/15/10) * Fragment Swarm no longer can be added to modules (sorry); * Smods now decrease damage taken and improve system cooldown/recharge rate by 8.5% per hullmod, up to 25% (was 7%, up to 20%); ' Reason: Seeing that heavy armor/reinforced bulkheads hullmods were much more favored than alternative builds, I granted more flexibility to things like missile weapons and fighters. Alongside that, I improved module longevity on late game fights, where players have access to smods and other resources, favoring Best of the Best skill. This way I'm giving them better options to tinker with, instead of limiting everyone to basic resilience builds. Extras: * Fixed Navarchy of Tania neutral fleet dialog showing all the quotes at the same time; * Added an Emergency Shutdown to Dysis Drive: Engages a brief overload in case of imminent collision with ally vessels, drastically decelerating the ship. Does not trigger if vessel is the flagship; * Added a late game fleet that roams around Carina (spawns at military colonies on Nexerelin random mode). All ships have 3 smods, that don't disappear upon recovery, so take your chances and fight! * Hopefully fixed Version Checker compatibility. Doing this is very annoying, but if this helps someone, its worth it I guess.
