Description

Create: Hostile Skies

Stylized 3D text labeled "CREATE HOSTILE SKIES"

Hostile Skies adds patrolling pillager airships that spawn near players and orbit from the sky. This mod aims to be as immersive as possible, so every ship is a real, flyable, sable airship. Board them mid flight and loot their chests, or don't even mess with them at all if you choose to do so! The players who do will face the consequences…

⚠️ Early Access
This is the first public release. The mod is playable and should be stable, but content is limited. SIMULATION DISTANCE OF 10 IS RECOMMENDED.

Please report any bugs in the Discord.

Features

  • 4 ships across 2 tiers: three T1 scouts (Karve, Outrider, Lookout) and one T2 steam ship (Hirdskip)
  • Tier progression: kill raid captains to unlock higher tier ships over time
  • Bad Omen integration: drink an ominous bottle to guarantee your highest unlocked tier with scaled crew and loot to spawn
  • Autopilot: The raids fly themselves using the wheel and levers. It also tries to avoid terrain and will attempt to free itself when stuck.
  • Ship capture: kill the captain and take their Captain's Orders to the helm, and the ship is yours to fly
  • Mercy system: die aboard and the ship slows down, giving you time to return
  • Loot: chests contain organized resources, provisions, or repair parts from Create and Aeronautics
  • Fully configurable: spawn rates, tier thresholds, crew scaling, and more via the in-game config screen
  • Multiplayer: player grouping, weighted targeting, personal cooldowns, and a global raid cap

What's coming

  • More ships of course!
  • Advancements

Trailer coming soon…
