Meranera Spitfires: your all in one weapon for litterally any situation

RandomCommander

jbox1 Dood, Spitfires are planes. Of course they're awesome for any situation (read: most situations that require aerodynamics and explosions)

SPLITfires, on the other hand, are branching out to be their own brand.

Splitfire Weapons
Splitfire Roof Turrets
Splitfire Point Defense
Splitfire Reactors
Splitfire Light Shields
Splitfire Sensor Arrays
Splitfire Backscratchers

...

What was I talking about again?

Splitfire reactors... Split + Fire on a reactor sounds like a mistake waiting to happen...

Meranera looks like a heavy gun

Shields

Plans for the next update:
Add:
- 2x4 Shield Generator (Finished - same stats as vanilla version)
- Barrier Point-Defense (Finished - new turret and firing sprites)
- Ion Pod Launcher (Launches a pod which, when it comes to a stop, releases a missile straight towards the target)
- Swarm Missile Launcher "Ootheca"

Rework:
- Splitfire-PD (no longer fires at ships, much more reliable, lower cost, lower energy cost, etc.)
- 1x1 Reactor and 2x2 Reactor explode more violently

Remove:
- Volt Disruptor
- Gauss Array
- Hardlight Accelerator Cannon
- Ternary Assault Cannon
- Thermal Energy Vulcan
- Mass Driver
- Mass Driver/b
- Ion Missile Platform

I'll probably move the removed weapons to an unmaintained legacy version of the mod.

Meranera Why are they getting removed? Too much to maintain or are there other things coming, replacing them?

jbox1

Meranera The new sheilds look....

Bigger

Meranera

Drakador_Chaos Why are they getting removed?

Mostly for the sake of visual consistency.

Drakador_Chaos are there other things coming, replacing them?

The 2 missile launchers will be the new shield breakers, and the vanilla railgun is basically just a more interesting mass driver.

Meranera It sounds like you are turning this from an "Additional Weapons Mod" into a "Splitfire and some other stuff Mod"

RandomCommander Meranera yeah, what if we have a poll deciding if the weapons should get removed or stay, i say stay

TurboTwinky28

Any news on Oigami?

Meranera

TurboTwinky28 Any news on Oigami?

None.

RandomCommander It sounds like you are turning this from an "Additional Weapons Mod" into a "Splitfire and some other stuff Mod"

I'd say it's more turning into a faction mod, becoming more consistent and polished in the process.

The main thing you need to keep in mind is that I'm making this mod for myself:
The excessive color-coding of the vanilla parts bothers me, so I made my own.
The visual inconsistency of my weapons bothers me, so I'm replacing them (with more interesting ones).

If you still want to use all of the weapons, you could simply download the upcoming legacy version.

Meranera we need oigami we need all removed weapons or it will turn into missile mod or splitfire mod with splitfire missiles or splitfire disrupter or ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................or splitfire missiles

kieffer5101

Meranera ok, that sounds good

Meranera GIVE ME MY OIGAMI BACK, RICHT NOW!! (GRRR)

I feel like the 2x4/1x2 shield should differ from the vanilla version in some way, since the stats are technically the same but the actual hitbox of the part is bigger.

Guessing Oigami gonna come back at a later point or moves over to the Legacy mod, like all of the other removed weapons, now stop yelling, since I doubt you would be able to fix or further develope the mod, especially with that sprite quality.

Poll has been closed - 70% voted to have the shields only show up when hit.

Drakador_Chaos I feel like the 2x4/1x2 shield should differ from the vanilla version in some way, since the stats are technically the same but the actual hitbox of the part is bigger.

I agree about the 2x4 version; I'm just not sure what I should change about it.
The 1x2 version is actually worse, to deter people from spamming it when they could get better results by using larger ones.

GunsForGuns

Meranera you could make it be resistant to electro bolts

Drakador_Chaos

GunsForGuns Is there a way to do that without changing the damage->energy ratio or the ammo type?

Meranera

There's only a few hours of work left to do for the next update, but since I'm going out for the weekend in a few minutes, I'm afraid it'll have to wait.

I've decided to post-pone the missile launchers, and have instead worked on an ion cannon, and windowless 1x1, 1x2 and 2x2 crew providing parts.

GunsForGuns you could make it be resistant to electro bolts

Much too overpowered.

YAY Do you consider including suggestions from people and implementing them into your mod?

Yup.

YAY can you add a clone room, possible 2 by 3 with clones inside test tubes, and will only recreate people if they are dead? It would also be nice if it has a long cool-down every time it creates a person, to not be too overpowered.

Impossible to do right now.
