Average Guardian – Starsector Mod
“Transform the Guardian into a balanced and recoverable ship while improving missile mechanics for a smoother gameplay experience.”
📝 Overview
The Average Guardian mod introduces subtle yet impactful changes to the powerful Guardian ship, making it more accessible and balanced for players. By reducing the ship’s OP cost to 375 and removing the Advanced Core, the Guardian becomes more versatile without being overpowered. These adjustments ensure that its natural speed boost ability remains a defining feature.
Additionally, this mod reworks the Missile AutoForge system, improving how missile ammo replenishes during combat, while also slightly adjusting weapon arc placements for better tactical precision.
