[0.65.1a] Protonian Technologies (Closing)
« on: January 19, 2015, 07:57:59 PM »

This mod is now closing.


I'm sorry about the inconvenience.


But due to some particular conundrum, I have to shutdown the page for those apparent reasons. Don't worry though, Protonian Technologies will get back to working order once again.

Well, supposedly towards the vanilla ships, yes.

The only other weapon that can destroy most capital ships in under ten seconds besides the Metromech cannon is the Zero-beam found in the SS+ arcade. Just sayin'...

I guess I should nerf that gun for the next patch.

Metromech cannon is supposed to be an oversized flak cannon. (using missile specs)

Yeah, I see the problem: 20 shots x 2000 damage.

I used Keptin's Balance Suite to make up the prices where ever the ship is made. They are practically expensive, ranging from fractions to 1.38 to 1.44.

The Balance Suite was of dubious value to begin with, and is horribly out of date as of now.  Your ships and especially most of your weapons are badly overpowered to the point of absurdity.  You can't use price as a crutch to offset extremely powerful equipment.  At some point, you can't even use scarcity to offset extremely powerful equipment.  Your ships easily crush equivalently-sized Templar ships, for perspective.

I see.

Time to reduce the specs... with extreme prejudice.

Sorry guys, I'm just new in this modding system, really. I don't know how precise the specs should turn out to be. :(

A good place to start would be to copy-paste stats from vanilla ships/weapons and then edit them to meet your specifications.  That way, you're at least in the right ballpark to begin with.

You should also reduce the turret count on your ships.  Some of them have way more weapons than is really necessary.

I'm posting the new patch for the mod. With reduced stats.

Which ship hulls needed weeding out?
