Uomoz has me slaving over TuP.
Version 7b will feature the following:
1.) Lance --- The Lance is slower than the Heron, in both combat speed and burn drive. Which is a big disadvantage for a player who wants speed above all else. I have further decreased its maximum combat speed. Its OP points are also lower than that of the Heron, and the Lance is initially unable to properly outfit all its weapon slots.
2.) Taskmaster --- I've updated the sprite a little. Mainly blended in the edges of the bridge with the ship a bit more and added some more pipes that run from the bridge into the rest of the ship.
3.) Hawk --- I've added the Hawk Corvette as a 2 ship wing. I'm currently working on a modifed Hawk frigate.
4.) Hermit --- I've added a weak front shield to the Hermit, as requested. Increased its armour and flux venting a little as well. Downside is the Hermit now gets overloaded pretty easily because of its overall poor flux.
5.) Vulture --- I've changed the name of the Vulture to Buzzard. The ship is NOT similar to the TIM Vulture, as far as I can see. Note that the TIM Vulture apparently fills the slot between the Falcon and the Eagle. The Buzzard fills a niche between the Hammerhead and the Falcon. It isn't a true cruiser, but more of a heavy destroyer.
6.) Buck Mk2 --- Reduced Buck Mk2's armour from 850 to 800.
7.) Almost all ship descriptions have been updated and expanded, adding to the mod's lore.
8.) Improved the starting options, making it work better on lower resolutions (stuff is less likely to vanish off screen). Instead of "Did something else", select "Tore it up plenty".
9.) Added the
Hawk corvette wing, the
Hawk Ranger frigate and the
Underdog frigate.
10.) Updating Corvus' Scavenger's fleet compositions. Focus on low-tech and mining ships.
11.) Adding a new system with new factions that use both vanilla and TuP ships in their fleets. Possibly the Iota system (finally!).
12.) Updated the title screen variants, TuP Collection mission and the sim opponents to include the new ships.
13.) Possibly adding new missions to the mission-driven campaign!
