Thanks for the comprehensive review Foxer! I really appreciate such detailed feedback. And I really enjoy the fact you like the Gonodactylus, sometimes I wonder if I'm the only guy who actually buys 'em.
Yeah, I wanted to make it look more thickly plated and also extend the whole feeling that the ship has some kind of barely contained internal energy.
Hah, this is literally the exact way I have been trying to paint my ships.
Also, I am blown away by how fast you continue to update this mod.
Well, I've gotten a pretty good workflow going. It's really easy to get work done as soon as inspiration strikes these days, so one hour of work or so every day is quite easy to pull off.
In other news LazyWizard did some great adjustments to the Deracinator code which allows me to make it more damaging (specifically, more damaging to large ships that spread the EMP arcs around without making the system oneshot all fighters and frigates)
The system will still damage your own ships if you aren't careful, but it will rarely result in more than a disabled weapon and some blackened armor plating.
