The Gargantuan Quasarcraft

The legend…. is here.

The king of the celestials, the Terastructural balance ruiner to rival the anime mods…

Balance: I didn’t balance this very much so you can suggest changes. The QSC should do well against the SB and Blokkats, but higher difficulties I’d reccomend screening with ships to soak up the heavy fire.
Components: The QSC comes with it’s own batch of components, but I’d reccomend using ACOT afterburners for some extra speed. But the most exciting of the components is…

The Endsinger is the realization of the Quasi-Stellar-Obliterator’s destructive capabilities in a mobile package. Conduct your ultimate symphony of destruction as you leave a trail of vaporized cosmic slag in your wake. It can obliterate entire star clusters, stellar systems, or perhaps for that one resilient FE capital… just the planet itself!

You will need either a Quasi-Stellar Obliterator, or a Hypermassive Quasar to begin. Using a premade QSO makes the initial QSC stage considerably cheaper, but either path is viable. Then, you progress through the stages as usual, and ensure that before finishing the QSC build, you have designed it in the Ship Designer. The Quasarcraft can have its designs changed after building.

However in order to get Hypermassive Quasars, you MUST have the EHOF and/or QSO enabled, with the corresponding core option.

If there’s bugs please report them to me through Discord at OmnitaeCyverian#1990. Unsolicited friend requests or messages not pertaining to the mod will be ignored or deleted at my discretion.

If you have problems with the craft overflowing, please use the components provided by this mod to reduce the regen provided by your modifiers.

Mod: Overflow Workaround Components

Hotfix 1/10/2023 10:20 AM CST
– Fixed missing icons and bad crop on the QSC planetview icon
– Fixed not setting system to empty space when build finishes

Hotfix 1/11/2023 5:04 AM
– Hopefully fixed crashed for Mac and Linux users due to a file having incorrect animations
– Disabled flag preventing additional QSC’s from being built naturally
– Double checked alternate path without QSO – Take a looksee (EDIT: Nevermind, looks like an entire separate structure is needed)

Update 1/11/2023 7:05 PM
– Added proper weapon locators for all the guns so they aren’t shooting out of the center of the system. This also causes the strike craft to actually show up

Hotfix 1/12/2023 4:29 AM
– Added weapon type tags to the guns
– Removed some mesh files of PDX assets that had been included accidentally

– Added "The Endsinger", the QSC’s exclusive W-slot weapon that unleashes the QSO’s firepower in a much more streamlined manner.
– Fixed some redundant events and graphical issues with weapons.

– Added an alternative path to constructing the QSC that only uses the Quasar, but the initial build stage is more expensive due to also building an entire QSO framework in the first stage.

– Added Multiple-Instance Fire Support to the Endsinger, allowing you to split the Quasarcraft’s firepower into several wormholes that you can move freely; This however severely hampers the Quasarcraft’s own weaponry while active.
– Added an Edict to open the Endsinger menu, so that you don’t have to fire it to access the M.I.F.S
– Reduced the blinding effects of the guns while firing
– Made the beam of the Endsinger larger and more intense
– Reduced number of Celestial Strike Craft that get deployed, from 10 each to 1 each with a much higher cooldown. This is to prevent lag and doesn’t affect DPS much.
– [Internal] Cleaned up unused and redundant code and flags

Minor update 1/19/2023 11:42 AM
– Re-factored edicts to directly bring up the wanted menu
– Added a power level switch in case you don’t want to turn systems into voids
– Internal code cleanup

Bug Fix 2/3/2023 2:03 AM
– Fixed the rotation being too slow on the model
– Added "Anti Compound" tag to weapons. Wipe those dark matter beings away with the eyes of the obliterator!
– Added loc and fixed component set for Quasar Wormhole
– Cleaned up event code to unset flags and such

– Updated to latest game version
– Moved some stats to attempt to curtail overflow errors
– Changed fleet creation command to prevent glitch of the fleet trying to split

Minor Update 8/4/2023
– Added Russian Localization by Earl Kaiser and Zaphky
