I THINK I got everything correct, but if not, please let me know and I'll change it. Hope this helps!



Version for: Disharmony 1.1.9

the sophon and craver dread naught effects are only applied during construction. The craver one does say "construction effects" I think the sophon one doesn't, but it should.

Which is generally better (and why): Tonnage Module reduction or Industry Module cost reduction? Thanks in advance

I think it's personal preference, but I personally prefer Tonnage reduction since it allows for more stuff crammed onto the ship, and once you've got a well established system, Industry cost is nothing since you're putting out so much anyways and can pop out a dreadnought loaded for bear in a couple turns anyways.



However, the reduced industry cost allows for you to wage war a little bit better in the earlier days of a game.

Tonnage reduction is better when you're building quality ships - for example, the ships you intend for your main fleet led by a powerful hero. Industry reduction is better if you're trying to build a lot of ships quickly, such as in a counterattack.

It seems like Industry reduction modules rarely make any difference in my ship building times (and when they do, it's almost always by only one turn). I wonder if maybe they should reduce the production cost by more. Tonnage module bonus seems much, much better.

Updated for 1.1.9.

Sadly the Surveyor and Hammer are strictly better than the Axe and Anvil for the Sowers.



Reduced Tonnage >>>>>> Reduced Cost. Nevermind the fact 1CP ships are better than any other ships.



Too bad the dreadnought got nerfed :/ needed it but still, only dreadnought in game worth using isn't worth it anymore.

I thought they changed all the industry discounts for specific modules. Last I checked, for example, the Horatio dreadnought didn't have 50% cheaper troops any more but instead had a 20% population growth increase on system during construction. Did they revert those changes?

real quick check, Fore Sowers:



Factory: -40% Civilian module tonnage

Surveyor: -30% Support Module Armor Tonnage

Hammer: -30% Support Module Repair Tonnage

Axe: -30% Support Module Armor Tonnage

Anvil: -30% Support Module Repair Tonnage

Piledriver: +Tonnage as HP



So yes it went through. Though that still leaves the 1CP ships better than the lower higher CP ships because of the way damage is dealt (and the way fleet modules work).

Noob question what does +50% x tonnage vs -50% x tonnage mean?



Is +50 more room on the ship or less room?

I would think that +50% would mean it adds 50% to it and -50% would make the module smaller.

It looks like the Sheredyn corvette is the best ship out there. (-20% weapon tonnage with no downside)

In my limited experience, they have been highly effective.

Wow, did not realize that the different ships had different bonuses based on affinity now... been playing the same affinity for far too long I guess, had my own custom race for the last year or so.



The vaulters:



Nadjne: 3x Hull weakness on ship, -40% support module tonnage on ship

Anjka: 3x Hull weakness on ship, -25% support tonnage module on ship

Ylona: 3x Hull weakness on ship, -5% ship cost on star system

Ljdya: 2x Hull weakness on ship, -25 % weapon module tonnage on ship

Erszebet: 2x Hull weakness on ship, -15% ship cost on star system

Yldjko: -30% ship cost on star system
