Major Update 2.0.0
Reduction and Evolution
*Important: Before updating always make a save copy just in case!
I. Major Changes-
Utility Weapons,
Criminal Industries, the
Literal Harpoon and
Facewrecker Rocket are all removed from this mod and have been transferred to
[YREX] Nijigen Extend. This update will
BREAK YOUR SAVE unless you download and install that mod too!
- After 4-5 years, the Caparice Homeworld will receive an upgrade! This includes a new orbital fortress,
Foron Kahlua, which serves as the new base of operations for
Cypher Defense Co., a subfaction that consolidates all of Task Force Mikina ships. All Task Force Mikina mod ships have been assigned to that subfaction! Meanwhile, the homeworld will receive an upgrade, itself. It will receive an upgrade from Heavy Industry to Orbital Works with a Corrupted Nanoforge, a Military Base to High Command, and it will receive a custom building -
Orbital Defense Array, which makes this already tough nut even tougher! This update works retroactively, so if you have an old save where more than 5 years have passed, and Caparice still belongs to the Yuri, the upgrade will immediately apply.
II. Ship and Balance Changes- The Guardian (the missile one and the Task Force Mikina version) and Angel Wing ships have been removed from the Yuri ship list. Their old data still remains to avoid crashing, but they will no longer be available in the market nor in Yuri fleets.
The Guardian was removed because it had too many small missiles for its supposed role of a picket ship. The same goes for the Task Force Mikina version, but as for that one, I made an edit to its model and added a new version to the ship list.
The Angel Wing was removed because... well, I thought its sprite was a bit 'noisy', and had a lot of things jutting out and didn't look very pretty. Well, if you still have your Angel Wing, you can definitely keep using it!
In lore - all of these were just prototypes, so only a few were made (the ones you have!), but the mass production and improved ones superseded them.
- The Snowstorm missile frigate was given reduced OP. Now, you'll need to rely on the malus-giving +OP hullmods to fill a snowstorm to the brim with missiles, unless it's just skyflowers.
- Standardized Missile Racks now also give -75% RoF when non-Yuri missiles are mounted. I didn't realize there were vanilla missiles that did not use the ammo system at all, and this is the answer to that.
- Dreamland Torpedoes now have a "vacuum" effect during the fusion phase, so frigates won't be able to escape damage by simply floating away.
- Homing Lasers have been given improved tracking.
- All Yuri battle cannons have been given different ammunition: They no longer use the
APHE shells, as these have been given to
Aria, along with the Enma Battery. Now, all Yuri battle cannons use
APFSDS shells, which only increase Kinetic damage the closer the target is (but with greater effect).
