awesome that this was added, I've wanted a way to have military sensor profile haulers/tankers since I started playing starsector!
Well, you could have Insulated Engines do the job already, but that wouldn't cover sensor
strength.
Well, there goes the Warthog. I watched it swirl around the toilet for a little while before getting sucked in. From 9 Light Mortars on 3 craft to 4 Light Mortars on 2 craft, with further nerfs in effectiveness beyond the first few shots. Meh.
Let's just say that it was *that* overpowered to begin with. There are still aspects where it's not much worse than before - for example, the Decoy Flares are qualitative, and having two vs three fighters launching then isn't a huge deal - but yeah, it's offensive potential needed to go down. Basically, it can do HE damage, and due to being a fighter, it can avoid the shields on many ships. This makes it very universal, so balance-wise, it's better for it to be slightly under-powered (since we see just less use of Warthogs) vs slightly overpowered (because then we see less use of *everything else*).
That said, I'll keep an eye on it. Might end up adjusting its role entirely.
Of course, the rest of it is quite nice. Especially looking forward to the Apogee changes.
(The "salvage expedition" starts you off with one! Of course, its weapon loadout is lacking, to put it mildly.)
I have a problem with known hullmods not spawning as a item, however. I mean, they could always be used for a extra source if income.
Yeah; imo not worth it for the disappointment factor and just having to check to see if you know it or now. Plus they're not *that* expensive. Blueprints, on the other hand, are, and there known ones can drop.
What will happen to the Doom's old Interdictor Array? With the new Mine Strike system, and the two other phase ships system swap, i kinda expected the Shade to inherit it.
It's not used by anything in the game at the moment. I think putting it on a ship that there could be many of could get too annoying to deal with; plus I'm quite partial to the Shade having the EMP emitter. It can really put it to good use.
