Cosmoteer Release Candidate 0.15.8 RC4

Walt

Thanks everyone for testing the previous release candidates! RC4 is now available for testing, with just a handful new fixes and tweaks.

Download Cosmoteer 0.15.8 RC4 or auto-update via the "unstable" branch.

Changes since RC3:

When holding Shift to display command handles, a trashcan icon is now displayed that, when clicked, will delete the command. Right-clicking on a handle to delete a command no longer works.
Bugfix: Crash when building and then moving modded single-part ships such as droids.
Bugfix: Formation positions were being shown in the incorrect location when the formation leader is itself following another ship.
Bugfix: Holding Shift and right-clicking the minimap would cause two identical commands to be issued.
RC Bugfix: Formations would sometimes not rotate when the formation leader is given a rotation target.
RC Bugfix: Holding shift and double-right-clicking would cause two identical commands to be issued.

Walt Have a suggestion for ctrl clicking to fine-aim prisms: make it so pressing ctrl also stops them from snapping to the prisms for connection.

Walt

Nordwolf Done.

Walt i got a suggestion about Beams: having a large beam and seeing it fully "blocked" by a tiny debris is somewhat frustrating, and it seems unrealistic as well. I would suggest to allow debris to fully "block" only when big enough compared to the beam, otherwise, the beam gets its power reduced (from that point onward) depending on the beam power/debris size ratio.

Danwood You mean wide beams? Well, it would be nice if beams do have a width in game.
But real word gaussian beams only have 1.4% something loss outside of their core width. 😆
So your scifi real world beams don't exist in reality.

Danwood

Lafiel In that case, my suggestion is to increase the strength applied to debris the more the ratio (beam power/debris size) is against them. That would quickly remove small debris blocking the "large" beam ,which is very odd to see indeed.
