A plugin for the open-source space game Endless Sky, adding a collection of fully-modeled ships, many in the design family of an existing vessel or group of vessels. The goal is for these to slot in seamlessly as part of a sort of "vanilla-plus" experience, adding diversity and interest to shipyards and fleets throughout the galaxy without changing up game balance too drastically.
- Light Warships
- Lindwurm: Fast and fanciful, a smaller sibling of the Lionheart Corvette.
- Hydrargyrum: A heavier successor to the Megaparsec Quicksilver with a greater armament.
- Rime Branch: A light warship for the Wanderers. (Wanderer Military License)
- Medium Warships
- ☠️ Akster: A rare, limited-production larger flockmate for the Lionheart Raven.
- Erinys: A medium warship made by Southbound Shipyards for the Free Worlds to fight alongside their larger Dreadnought. (Militia License)
- Hekla Vaba: An medium warship built on Thule, the design of which diverged from the mainstream a long time ago.
- Heavy Warships
- ☠️ Moonbeam: The Falcon of yesteryear, a fast heavy warship in the style of the CCOR-era ships.
- Catatumbo: A heavy warship for the Wanderers, the weapons-focused sibling to the Derecho and Hurricane. (Wanderer Military License)
- Utility Craft
- Hekla Dora: An drone carrier built on Thule, the design of which diverged from the mainstream a long time ago.
- ☠️ Reflection: Rough and tough, a hefty tugboat built to shift large masses.
The Akster, Moonbeam and Reflection each have Marauder-style variants; performance-enhanced versions modified by pirate warlords. Rather than using the vanilla system for acquiring Marauders, these can be obtained once as unique ships through missions under certain conditions.
All-content plugin support for testing and cheating is provided through Omnis.
The latest release of DAIS was made for v0.11.1 of Endless Sky.
My deepest thanks to the other artists whose work for Endless Sky the ships of DAIS are built upon.
