Just wanted to share that I've released an update that covers a lot of the issues mentioned in this video. Does the following: Adds cosmetic structural versions of all new parts. Rebalancing of stats to make them more useful. Fixes decorate mode for the Sparrow. Fixes missing icons for some flips of the blade mount.
I like the wings, but most of Avontech is a little too sci-fantasy for my taste. I feel the same about Derretech, too. Hopefully we get some more "grounded" ship part mods as well.
Its like all Avontech, It looks really cool but as far as stats go, its usually all over the place. Most of his engines are underpowered, except for one of his "C" class one (which is one of my all-time favs)... On a side note: 16:37 cracked me up.. ** I cant recall the name of that particular engine at the moment, I use it so much, I'm just used to where it is in my parts list. Its the number 2 version of one of the single engines. each one has something like 120000 engine and 30000 (i think) maneuvering thrust.
it’s great review just i’m not into to much merging i do it but it has to look right for me no clipping i like to see parts work to like the engines but that is just me! everyone has there own way 😊
The fact that none of big three mod authors for structural parts, Matilija, Avontech and Derretech make nothing that actually goes with the base game mods, is distressing. I use these guys mods a lot, but I also spend a lot of time trying to hide the stupid blue glow, the idiotic chrome, or the flat, plastic looking, no texture stuff. I've found that by and large, I only use their mods when I absolutely need it, and ignore the rest. Avontech's block, is pure genius. Matilija's elevator and cowlings are a life save. Derretech's staircases and extranious bits are cool too. but that's about it. the rest is just so much clashing junk. It really irks me that these great mod authors have built stuff, seemingly for the wrong game!
You know what mod I want to see? Free or paid. Does not matter to me. More wing tails and side wings. All different sizes, angles, lengths and widths. X and Y dimensions. As for cockpits. I want something that is familiar. Night hawks, SR-1 and anything that resembles air aviation in past history. From past to present. I’ll pay for a mod like that on creations. Or free on nexus is good too 😊.
This seems like a miss for me. If it was a free mod, I would be more forgiving over the bugs. But for a paid mod, I would expect a little better QC. I also think the engines need to be beef'd up a bit. For a "racing" engine, I would expect it to be as fast, if not faster, than the 3015's. Avontech's other engines actually are really fast, so I don't know why they didn't just copy those specs.
There needs to be a way to add more engines to your ships I know there is a mod that allows u to use 6 engines by I need more I also know of the mod that adds engines as decor that doesn't work I need more engines
I'm 5 minutes in and wondering what the top speed of each of these engines are... the stats for top speed and boost speed are always limited to the lowest performing engine on the ship. This content may be premature, but as an avid shipbuilder, i mostly care about top speed and boost speed.
You can decorate, there’s just not a panel. Pull up the builder like you would in an outpost. Also you skipped the best part for a racing ship, a couple of the engines have a top speed of 180
@@sharkicornking6360 I was watching while I was working so I must have missed that part. When I tried, it worked for me. Gotta love those random little bugs
I Hate mods that introduce overpowered components. These ridiculous manuevering values will let overbuilt cargo haulers have the same manueverabily as a quick fighter ship.
you can already make overpowered ships in vanilla with console commands. Single player game, complete freedom. Don't pick overpowered stuff if you dislike it. You can even use console to nerf your ship.
Considering that the "space" aspect of this game consists of loading screens into orbital insertion, I'm, gonna go ahead and say mods like this are utterly useless even as cosmetics.

I like them but the engines to me just need a bit more power
A shame the lights aren't colourable but at least the author put the lightless ones in to compensate

Coffee time! Well, cool. If I was playing a different universe I might think about it. Thanks for the review, great video.

Are you going to review the new paid gun mod ?
I am, it will be up tomorrow
Yay, wings! Well ... engine wings.
Heh-heh,
thx

The avontrch mods do have great design but they also suffer from bugs quite often ,this paid mod seems like a waste of money for what it is
Great for some smaller designs but could do with some more visual peices

I wish there was B and C Class reactors
this seems like its just a paid expansion for his free shipyard mod

Starting around 22:42, he literally tries to do that with no success

avontech is a modder worth supporting. must buy for me this one
no good

They're not that fast, though.
@@gynevea couple of them have a top speed of 180
@TheExile1138 Yeah, but they're a-class. And there's already an engine in the base game that can do that.
