Hypertraversal Manipulation 2 – ACOT additions
You thought you could peacefully tend to your little empire, when a dumb ai suddenly decided to open the outer gates. You were nowhere near ready, and knew you wouldn’t be in time. You considered many possibilities, fumbled and stumbled, and ultimately started cursing at the ai. When you finally realised that you could use the augur outside your borders, it was too late.
You thought you were smart when you decided to set the beginning of the Ancient Empire mod events midgame, when actually you were clueless about the starfish battleships about to rampage through your empire, one of them taking out 8 fallen empire attack moons before being defeated. You still had two of them to deal with and thought "I’m gonna sever the hyperlanes and isolate them !", but they jumped from one system to another too quickly.
Have you ever been in such situations ? I know that I have. And this is my answer.
This mod adds 6 new tiers of augur beams, following ACOT (Delta, Alpha, Phi, Runic, Sigma) & SotS (Theta ; obviously only available with SotS) tech tiers. Each beam is 30 days faster than the previous one and needs to be researched before being available, the prerequisites being the previous tech tier beam and the current tech tier sensors.
For example, the Sigma Hyperspace Augur Beam has no windup time, a firing time of 30 days, and its associated tech requires the Runic Hyperspace Augur Beam (tech_htm_re) and the Stellar Arrays (tech_sensor_se) technologies.
No files were harmed in the making of this mod. As such, the load order shouldn’t matter. But for good measure, put it below Hypertraversal Manipulation 2 and ACOT. If you’re using AoT and/or SotS, put it below them too.
Vauthil – This mod is essentially a modification of theirs, and wouldn’t be possible without it.
Chirumiru ShiRoz, Faded – I took the tech tier icons from their respective mods and poorly slapped them on the augur beam pic (graphic design is not my passion).
If any of them wants this mod removed, just let me know and I’ll take it down right away.
