Well, looks like 1.212 is done. All the new player artillery is likely to be subject to change. Maybe share some of your experiences. There is a chance that further artillery variants will be added, to the extend that each ship actually got a unique one. Note that the Vanilla Player Ship Loadouts Addon also got update to include the artillery systems in the ship loadouts.

From the OP
Player Artillery
Similar to the original Open Artillery mod, CE makes artillery systems available to all player ships. Various artillery weapons have been added for all factions. Most of the different artillery weapons match the Vindicator beam in terms of damage potential, but deal their damage in a different way that often require you to adjust your combat tactics accordingly. The Vindicator still rules them all, as the ultimate "power and forget" weapon. But the new artilleries all offer some pretty distinct advantages by themselves. Some of them also do not deal direct damage, but allow you to gain a significant edge in combat through different means.

The non-damage artilleries are probably the trickiest to use. Let me know how they feel ingame.

EL is now 1.212 (as opposed to 1.02) or was that a typo?

Uh, I found the hidden crystal section in CE Infinite and now I can't stop finding it.

It is really annoying, please help?

Are you using a save made before the update to 1.212? And are you sure your mod load order is correct?

What is my mod order supposed to be?

Read the original post in page 1, there are big red letters saying "Mod Load Order"

That as well is mod load order related. Check the first post. Also any other mods that modify the crystal sector will cause this and won't work with CE Infinite. Maybe post your load order if you keep encountering problems.

Got another bug report relating to drones again in the latest version 1.212
The hull ripper drone in this screenshot flies around the enemy ship, but doesn't fire anything.
If you need a copy of the save or something just let me know.

These detailed portraits are awesome. Could you Sleeper make the pictures in shops in the same way, because there are the old ones?

And by the way playing Engi B with one weapon is difficult (All weapons need 4 bars and Engi B has only 3). I started twice and died in first battle in each one .

Shops use the idle standing frame, so that can't be changed.
