Seiffer Industries & Logistics [SI&L]

Welcome to Seiffer Industries & Logistics

Seiffer Industries & Logistics started as a little mining and trading company. After a few years the management have decided to build an own shipyard with an large development department. Now 8 years later after these decisions, SI&L is have it´s own mining fleet from the own production.

The most ships where remotely controlled so only the large fleet carriers are ships with crew. The staff from SI&L is small for these kind of company but the effectiveness is height. One of our new buisness segments are locating and salvaging of ghost ships.

To save the lives of crewmembers from these ships which are still alive, SI&L give the new scan system update away for free for all these how want to help. The new software update allows you to track new ship types, so u can locate them. But be careful, the defense system of these ships could be still active! We will update our software in regularly intervals.

SI&L also works on other projects but these are confidential at the moment.

Mods:

EndlessCargoships v1.009.00

This is a little mod, which adds a lot of new ships to your npc cargo ship list.

At the moment u will get 50 different ships which u can capture if u have npc cargo ships activated on your game. I´ll update the ships and the list mostly every week so every week there are a chance for one or two new ship. There are small ships, which are more often and easy to capture and there are large ships which u can capture but be careful, they shoot at sight (there are also some easy capture able ships under the large ships). I have also changed the spawn frequency so u will see more often small ships and every 2-5 ships an large ships, the easy large ships will spawn more often than the harder ones but they also have less loot.

If u want some variety under the npc cargo ships, these mod is the one u need. If u are pissed because u can´t capture the large standard cargo ships because they are too hardcore at the moment, download these mod and know u can capture the small ones and u have an alternative to mining.
NEW: Now ships for exploration mode included!

<div dir="ltr" style="zoom: 1;">Hey guys,

today i had an idea about some new factions for the mod. At the moment there are the Civilan, Mining, Millitary and Industrial Faction, there are also ships without a faction.

SE has a good base fore some kind of Roleplay so i´ve seen some rely good Playercreated Factions with some backround story. I´ve also tryed it for SI&amp;L but the story isn´t finised respectively under construction.

So know i´m serching for some new factions for my mod and i hope u will help me to finde some. U can post your Ideas abuout the new faction here, but if u have an idea pls also post some information about the faction: What dose the faction does? What kind of ship´s they use? Some special features the ships has like: The Fighters always have there Cockpit in the back, the Miningships can split into smaler drones... What colores they use? Do Groups of the faction use other colores? Feel free to Post some pictures or a workshoplink for an prototyp so i can study them and create new ships for the factions.

Some people would ask know: Why are u don´t think a little about it by your self? I have done it but i´m very uncreativ about names and design, in Survifle the most ships i build are funktional, schips only do what the should do. U also can se my name creativity about my nickname or Corp name...

What I want to say, get a part of EndlessCargoships, If your faction gets into the game, u will be named in the credits and if u wan´t u can also build some ships by your own respectively name the flagship after yourself.

About how ships should be created, only original blocks are alowed, thrusterdmg compatible and they should not kill your fps. About loot and wapons, larger ships should have some wapons because if u havn´t to work for captureing it, its like cheating and about the loot, i will balace it by my own.

Thanks for your time and i´m looking forward for what u will send/post.

Here's an idea for you, feel free to use, modify or throw it away as you see fit:

Corporate description &amp; brief history:
----------------------------------
Pendleton Transport &amp; Logistics (PTL)
Founded in 2049 by Lila Pendleton, PTL found moderate success during the 2050's and early 2060's when many smaller corporations used third party contractors to move bulk goods.

By 2070 the company had fallen on hard times, with rapidly increasing 'piracy' along established transport routes leading to many expensive contractual penalties, finally insurance carriers refused to cover the increasingly common losses and PTL was unable to upgrade ships to stay competitive.

Now in 2077 PTL is attempting a comeback, after securing a large number of 'ex-military' grade gatling and missile turrets, and even a few low-yeild warheads, the old workhorses of Pendleton Transport &amp; Logistics are getting a refit. Unfortunately credit is maxed and PTL could afford either armour or weapons, not both! Pendleton is coming back fighting, with the new company motto: "If we can't get your cargo to it's destination, the pirates won't get it either" and hints of booby trapped ships, this desperate company is hoping that most pirates will be too afraid to attempt to hijack any of its ships.

------------------------------------------------------------

I like the idea of a transport company. They would have 'Fast Couriers' (small ships) and then a couple of larger Mid-range transports and a much larger bulk transport (both large ships).

The ships are built with the bare minimum needed to fly and lots of exposed (unfinished) blocks to make them look skeletal - they wouldn't use grav generators or anything not completely essential. However because of piracy on the spacelanes the company invested in some weapons, so each ship is quite heavily armed.

The ships are a challenging takedown because they don't have armour, the cargo containers are external and there are booby traps in many places, so attempting to shoot off the turrets may destroy large parts of the ships. It would be great to do several versions of each ship with exactly the same name but put the booby traps in different locations on each version so the pirates wouldn't immediately know where all the traps are.

I'm thinking something similar to this design from 2001 for the big 'Bulk Transporter':



An engine block at the back, a very thin 'spine' with some cargo containers along it and a simple command section at the front.

The Mid-range transporter is a similar design, just smaller, I like this ship from BSG:


For the 'Fast Courier' small ships, I'm thinking something a bit like this (but imagine it with a cockpit taking up the front and the mid-section is 2 or 4 medium cargo containers):



I imagine the ships themselves might be a 'dirty' colour, from carbon scoring, micro-meteorites and other accumulated space-dirt. Maybe an off white, with occasional blocks of other colours where bits have been fixed and the 'new' block doesn't match. The cargo containers could be different colours and a mixture of different sizes (representing the cargo being shipped by different clients).

 

Wow I just checked out your endless cargo ships mod during my lunch break. I'll be sure to install it when I get home. Ive been spending a lot of time building ships designed to disarm and board the default cargo ships. It Will be awesome to have new challenges.
I've been wanting to change my cargo ship list to add some creations from old maps, just haven't taken the time. Great work!

 

@mo8ius

Hey, thanks for the feedback. The first prototyps are finished:




The ships are not final but i think i´m on a good way.

Edit: The ships are finished, the picture showes the final ships now.

@Ortikon

Thanks I hope u will have fun, I also will rebalance the spawnrate when i have time for it, at the moment u will get more often smaller ships (rate 20-17), then there will be the easy larger ones (rate 16-10) and then there will come the hardcore ships (rate 9-1) with a lot of fire power.

Hi,

ok the new update is uploaded and i have 3 new ship typs for u from the PTL Fleet created by mo8ius (Thanks for the inspiration).

First the small PTL Fast Courier, its an standart Cargoship in the easy to capture class, u will see it like the other small ships and u will be able to cature it without problems.
The next ist the PTL Mid-Range, an large ship with Cargocontainers and some gatling gungs for selfdefens. This ship is in the bit more difficult to caprure clas. If u want it, u must come with an other ship or with more than one Engineer.
Last but nor least, the PTL Bulk Transport. over 250m long, 32 Large cargocontainers and 12 Gattlings for self defense. There are also other nice Suprices if u try to capture this ship. This ship will spawn less then others but if u are able to capture it, u will need a lot of time to salvage it.

I also have rebalanced the spawnrate, now larger ships will spawn more often.

If u have ideas about ships or other suggestions, let me know them so i can make them real.

MfG

Felix
