Turrets can be motorized, causing them to turn faster at the cost of energy. (Capped speed)

CRAM – Max speed increased to 300m/s. (From 200m/s) Duration before projectile deletion increased from 20 seconds to 30 seconds.

(CJE) Compressors and Intakes are now equal in the thrust calculation.* This used to be the case, but was changed at some point.

(APS) Railgun casing boost scales with gauge. (Higher at large calibers, lower at tiny ones)


APS – Reduce propellant burn barrel length requirement from 12*(Shell length)^0.75 to 6*(Shell length)^0.75. This means APS propellant burn barrel requirements will be half.

PAC – Explosive Shock damage percentage changed from 10% to 100%, Impact AP improved to 15, Pierce AP reduced to 15.

Make RTG's provide energy more smoothely (Maybe 10 times a second, rather then once per second)

Autoloaders start loaded; inputs start at max count down so they immediately load

Batteries start full rather then empty.

Missile duration reduced to 30 seconds (From 1 minute)

“Lasers” build menu tab renamed to “Energy Weapons”

Lasers use less engine power while the game is slowed down, damage seems to be unaffected. (To be Fixed)

Wavefront does not pierce multiple layers of laser shields (Works fine against smoke though) (To be fixed)

Make non-aimpoint targetting change targets far more often (Or make it configurable)

Frequency doubler effectiveness is based on total laser system size. Smaller systems need less doublers to achieve the same effect. (Based on # Of Pumps, New 3x1x1 pumps count as 3)

Frags spawn at the nose of a missile.

Turbines have a critical limit based on volume (Like pistons do based on speed)

Large steam controller ramps faster

(APS) Fragmentation rounds rebalanced, they do 50% damage at a 1 degree cone, 400% at a 180 degree cone (APS) * Other factors in this patch will have severely negative effects on fragmentation rounds. (AP/AC formula change, Ricochet change.)

(APS) Stacking penalty (For all module types) has been removed. Reload time (Based on the length of shells) has been made more linear. Gunpowder speed has been made more front loader, and less linear. Ammo consumption has been changed to align with the above.

Batteries start full rather then empty.

Increased detection range for small shells and solid shells.

Make the speed restriction on LWC more broad (Current limit is 49m/s, make it 500m/s)


PAC's dont lose focus with lower charge times/PAC's lose focus less harshly with lower charge times.

Q-Switches no longer effect laser efficiency, All lasers are now as efficient as 4Q lasers. Various Q-switch setups (0/1/2/3/4) Now have nominal draw backs and upsides outside of raw DPS.

0Q – Uses stored energy at twice the normal rate (Per second, per combiner)
1Q – Uses 100% of cavities stored energy per shot, has 50% inaccuracy.
2Q – Damage reduced by 50%, AP increased by 1000%, has 5% inaccuracy, Fires a burst of 20 shots over 1 second, with a 9 second delay.
3Q –  Has 200% inaccuracy, 50% increased damage.
4Q – Uses stored energy at 1/4h the the normal rate (Per second, per combiner)

Normal rate = 20% of current cavity energy, per second, per combiner.
All the energy usage is based off the current rate (IE; 1Q uses 20% per shot, 2Q uses 10%, but fires twice per second, 3Q 5% but fires 4 times a second)


Wavefront no longer pierces smoke and laser shields outright, but rather can be set to improve (At the cost of raw damage) ; Reduce damage lost by penetrating water by %, Reduced damage lost by penetration laser shields/smoke by %, Reduce damage dissipation over range.

Damage Penalties are consecutive not simultaneous. (IE; They cannot add up to 100%, they will apply after each other)

50% of damage/Smoke and laser shields are 50% as effective at dissipating damage
^ This would make each layer of smoke only mitigate 45% of a shots damage, rather then 90%

20% of damage/Water is only 10% as effective at dissipating damage.

20% of damage/Air does not dissipate damage.

Smoke Dispenser – No longer takes ammo to fire. Fuel cost increased to 150. Reload speed increased to 80 seconds. (From 40) Smoke radius doubled. Smoke duration increased to 60 (From 18) seconds. Smoke velocity inheritance fades above 50m/s.

(APS) Hesh frag number divided by the square rooted AC of the armor it passes through instead of the raw AC. (HA=6.3, Metal = 3.6)

Ricochet calculations changed. AP/AC plays a larger role in ricochet chance now.

------------------------------------
Simple Weapons

Simple Laser cost from 40 to 100

Ammo usage from 10 to 40


-------------------------------
Turretry

All turrets can now be motorized. Motorization costs vary depending on the size of turret (Larger turrets cost less per turret mass to motorize)

Motordrive 1 gives a 10% speed boost, motordrive 10 gives a 100% speed boost. Motordrive costs only apply when the turret is turning. Motordrive cannot make a turret turn faster then its base turning speed.

1x1; Motordrive 1 costs 5 power/mass, Motordrive 10 costs 500 power/mass

3x3; Motordrive 1 costs 0.55 power/mass, Motordrive 10 costs 55 power/mass

5x5; Motodrive 1 costs 0.2 power/mass, Motordrive 10 costs 20 power/mass

(Boost power cost scales from 0 to 10 in the same way that shield power costs do)

Smaller turrets turn faster, but handle weight worse. Larger turrets turn slower, but handle weight better.

1X1 500 degrees/second base, half (250) after 3.00 mass, half again (125) after 12.00 mass (1 size x 3 base)

From 400/second base, half after 4.00 mass, half again after 16.00.

3x3 250 degrees/second base. Half after 54.00 mass (125), half again (62.5) after 214.00 mass. (9 size x 6 base)

5X5 125 degrees/second base. Half after 450.00 mass (62.5), half again (31.25) after 1800 mass.
(25 size x 18 base)

ACB options

< and > pitch relative to enemy (0 being the nose pointing right at the enemy)

< and > yaw relative to enemy (0 being the nose pointing right at the enemy)

Explode ammo barrels/boxes command


Additional notes; APS small caliber reload times might need to be decreased after linearization.

Explosives are not great at snapping/pinging to craft. Would be good if this could be improved/ If flak specifically would be capable of hitting multiple craft.

Make Gauge coolers and recoil hydraulics linear (Each part is worth the same) rather then the current scheme where each successive part is worth more.

Laser frequency doublers

5 ap/ 10 pumps

2.5 ap/ 20 pumps

0.5 ap/ 100 pumps

Extra notes;

Beltfed; Doesnt reload until after a delay. (If longer beltfeds are put in)

Change Q-switch type stuff

Change HEAT description (Misleading), Change Q switch description (To describe the various modes)

Make CRAM ammo box effect on reload speed be less harshly diminishing.
