Cosmoteer Plus v0.27.5

jfjohnny5

Atarlost Yup. They're pretty nasty. For balancing purposes, there are two things I can do. The weapon has a base firestarting chance. Every shield it passes through reduces that chance by a factor I can set. So, I can either reduce the base chance, or increase the per-shield reduction factor. Thoughts?

Atarlost

jfjohnny5 I suspect the line between overpowered and useless for firestarting chance on a strongly shield bypassing weapon is razor thin if there's any margin at all so I'd go with making the shield bypass weaker. 80% is very high. It can go through four layers of shields and still have a slightly better than a single tick of a stock standard cannon.

@jfjohnny5
Sorry, i think i was the only one to suggest a big ship, i am sorry for cause any incovenience 🙁

jfjohnny5

DarkPearl Haha, no need to apologize! The biggest reason I decided to put this mod up in the Mod Developent section of the forum was to try new things and get community feedback. I prefer that to "working in a vacuum." Some ideas work. Some, not as much. Please, keep sharing any ideas you have!!

jfjohnny5 Did you thought about Big roof mounted tripel cannon? (people really want a none blood Primal hunter....and I will not going to do that, and You can make a cosmoteer friendly cannon)

jfjohnny5 oh please make that and zerg i love the blood cult primal cannon and i do agree i wish that these was a non blood cult one, since bloodcult weapons really only fit blood cult ships i hope you take zerg's suggestion into consideration jfjohnny

DarkPearl

Just a suggestion, you could add more engines (probabily already on a list to do but), interior shields, and maybe some heavier armor 😀

jfjohnny5

DarkPearl Engines are definitely on the post 1.0 "to do" list. I also have some different shield design ideas that I'll try post 1.0 as well. No bubble shields, but some new tactical options. Heavier armor... Hmm... maybe. We'll see.

jfjohnny5

Atarlost Ok, adjusted so that an IR Laser passing through a single shield still has a better firestarter chance than a cannon, but passing through two shields reduces the firestarter chance to 12.5% (versus 20% from a cannon). You'll have to let me know how it plays in the next update (dropping very shortly).

Atarlost

jfjohnny5 Seems about right. It needs support to start enough fires through more than one layer of shields to boat now, but against no or single layer shields they're still crippling when massed against forward facing weapons.

Update 0.27.4

Compatibility update for Cosmoteer 0.13.4

I'm not 100% on how Walt's changes to weapon range and AI may affect my mod, as I was unable to find documentation on some new properties. As such, please let me know if you find anything behaving very "off" with this version. I made changes to match the new weapon property format as best I could, but might have missed something.

I've been seeing issues with missiles. You raised the speed, but not the maneuverability and the increased turning radius breaks the Terror.

I'm also having trouble with the warp reactors. They don't stay fully powered up, which makes it difficult to go FTL with ships using them unless you have automatic FTL enabled, and ships using them sometimes don't appear at the destination.

kieffer5101 I know right! I prefer my Peepers preserved, not cooked. I only eat them in emergencies though! I typically eat my Lantern Fruit or Marblemelons.

ClassicJam Marblemelon = best food. you can grow them, eat them for 12 hunger and 14 water, and it gives an insane amount of power, 550.
