I hope the weapon's lore description and the color of the beam or other FX were changed a bit to match the new HE damage type it has - maybe give it a slight reddish tint.

I don't suppose it could be red and whispy, ala Emo Ren's lightsaber from the most recent star wars? You know you want to...

orange-y red seems HE-like, but it's also the color of the PD Lasers, which are the very weakest beams. that could be a bit counterintuitive.

personally, i'd like to see some consistent coloring for all beam weapons that relates to their damage type and/or role.

Well power wise real life lasers actually are classified by color (wavelength).
Red is the weakest (but we managed to get red lasers more focused than more powerful blue beams) carrying the least energy.
Green is intermediate.
Blue is the most powerful but also the least focused.
I don't know where yellow stands but probably near red.

With that in mind i'd suggest keeping the blue beam on the HIL. Just add some extra effects to it to make it look powerful but unfocused
Something like this perhaps.

Alex did you change the way that the Combat skill tree interacts with CR at all?

I know that the skill tree revamp isn't coming yet but this seems like a pretty important change, considering those findings that the more you level the worse it is for your CR/Supplies.

IIRC what I did is make it so that when a ship needs repairs but not CR recovery, the cost/day reverts to the base rate. Still some kinks to work out (especially pertaining to phase ships and SO builds losing CR during long deployments, and that being more expensive), but I think it'll keep.

It's out! Link in the OP.

[Tartiflette]

CLICK!

[Alex]

Updating the javadoc, which involves deleting it first. It'll be up shortly.

Nice.

[Cyan Leader]

Woah that caught me off guard.

Time to fire up vanilla again.

[Dri]

Aww, damn! I'm at work, someone please post screens of the new ships and updated Hyperion!

[mendonca]

Cool

The officer you can gain at game start seems bugged - doesn't gain any exp, and when unassigned, he vanished forever.
