Thanks to everyone for testing RCs 1-3! RC4 is now available for testing! I think this is likely to be the last RC before the stable update in probably a couple of days.
Download Cosmoteer 0.15.7_rc4 or auto-update via the "unstable" branch.
Changes since RC3:
Feels good. Hope it´s life very soon. I still hate the ammo factory explosion increase...... It´s just bad for medium ships. And are you shure about HE missile factory clustering is good ? 10 launcher with three factory modules might lead to a missilespam area.
Flank range feels now perfect in my opinion
I like the new EMP and mine fac cost decreases, but I don't like the HE ones. Right now a 3-1 module: Costs 5k less than before and the difference is even greater with the new crew costs.
Nordwolf Hmm, maybe HE Factories should get a production rate nerf?
Walt idk, maybe? As I said before, when you do combine them together it rarely is worth it just because of how much crew you need to exhaust the facs, however I'd rather solve this by allowing them to carry more instead of nerfing their production.

The problem is that allowing crew to carry more reduces the importance of the crew simulation, which I am loath to do. I'd rather add mechanics that encourage players to centralize despite the increased crew required.

Agreed. In this case a slight nerf to HE production is not a bad idea.
