Redstone's Diffusion Shields Mod

CaptainRedstone no, i meant why does it go through the ship itself?

CaptainRedstone

Bevan Simply because in order to actually go through multiple shields, it has to have a truly absurd penetration value. Because of this, there isn't much I can do from preventing it from going through the entire ship. The actual structure damage is calculated with a second, slightly delayed, invisible bullet to prevent it from just going straight through anything

"Nerf Drones++" Yes make it anti drone core weapon 😃

CaptainRedstone

...really guys? lol
Welp, I am going to consider this as a "we don't care, it is your mod" lol. I will also probably incorporate some of the more popular choices. I will make the one that I already have not penetrate shields (much), and then have a second, larger part, probably based around the large laser, make sprites for it, and then release a test version so people can get a better idea of their balance.

Also... @jbox1... The people have spoken...

CaptainRedstone ...

WHY THE HELL DO YOU THINK I MADE AUTOMATION ++???

jbox1

CaptainRedstone Mabey make a weapon which basically has an AOE which shuts down drones? Should be easy to do actually

Namek

CaptainRedstone I advise the weapon to be its seperate mod, and sprites are priority. Perhaps upgrade the excisting shield sprites since they make no sense in your mod xD.

Terket

Probably have the larger variant steal ammo in general but have low penetration. ~~making it nerf drones++~~

Namek

jbox1 Nerf automation++

Namek FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

CaptainRedstone

jbox1 I would make an Easter Egg somewhere that essentially jams all drones within a huge radius, but even mentioning Auto++ in the mod.txt would make it Auto++ dependent, and I would like to keep it as a standalone mod, at least for now
Namek Yeah, I really need better shield sprites. If only I could sprite. I do plan on giving the arc part of the shield itself a new look when I do update the part's textures, but I don't know when that will happen

Also, I just checked again, and Nerf Drones++ has an even higher percentage now ;D

There are work arounds :T

THis is how many crew/reactors (THose are small star wars reactors) it takes to power 1 tier seven. And you complain they are too hard to power off?

Amazing_Goob For my supercruiser i just changed the values on an existing mod, made the reactor far better but highly explosive and expensive.

MrShietegun

for what version of cosmoteer is this?

CaptainRedstone

MrShietegun 0.14.4

RedAndCosmoteer

Redstone, where is the anti-shield weapon?

CaptainRedstone

RedAndCosmoteer Still coming... At this point I am just waiting on someone to help me with sprites, but I might end up having to do it myself. Been pretty busy lately; all I have had time to work on in a while is the bounty hunter stuff. I might release my current build for Christmas or something. For now, I am probably going to rebalance the weapon, add its counterpart, and call it ready for pre-release. If I do end up making the sprites myself, I can guarantee that it will take a while. Sorry for the long delays : P
