ATTN:
I'm developing a small plug in.. A Few select outfits added, a few little weapons added, but this isn't the same kind of plug that's all over the Add-Ons section.
This plug enhances EVERY ship, making the game harder and more realistic.
Every primary weapon in the game has the following changes..
A Turret becomes a Twin turreted version of the heavy cannon..
The heavy cannon has a lot less speed, a lot more range, and more damage...
The light cannon (for fighters) has a faster reload and more speed, but less damage.
The Phase S/W and rear cannon is a moderate cannon, a compromise.
Every ship has stronger advantages, for example-
Voinian and UE ships have, in general, overall upgraded systems.
Igadzra have more long range weapons and more shields,
Azdgari have higher shield recharge & Maneuverability,
Zidigar have slightly less shields and more guns.
Fighters in General have less shields and another cannon, the Voinian Heavy fighter is slower but stronger, with the interceptor only slightly slower than the UE fighter, but no rockets.
All the other outfits are slightly enhanced and changed, with Pursuit missiles being much more useful against fighters (with a 250 impact rating), and Defense Pods have slightly higher count before burning out.
Overall, it makes the game more challenging for experianced players, and more realistic in the way that it's much MUCH harder for a fighter to disable a warship...
there's a bigger size difference (not graphically.. but Im considering it) between fighters, destroyers, warships, and cruisers.
If there are any opinions, I'm welcome to them. If you think it's a good idea, tell me...
If there's something you want added, feel free to tell me.
