Mods / Re: [0.9.1a] Tahlan Shipworks 0.3.15a

Once we have the ability to affect weapons individually, the enhanced range boost will only apply to small mounts and no longer be abusable with short range large weapons.

I hope, the large mounts will have standard ITU range. I think that might fix the AI issues I've been seeing with the Nibelung. With a broadside setup (I have tried a ton of different setups), the AI is much more reluctant to engage and the Conquest simply performs better. On paper, the Nibelung is much tankier, but in practice it takes as much hull damage as my Conquests (in AI hands).

BTW, the phase skimmer is an awesome system for a player Traumtänzer and the 60 DP are justified in player hands. For anyone, who likes omni shields and manual fire of the large mounts, the large mounts can easily be changed to be true fixed mounts by editing 'mods/tahlan/data/hulls/tahlan_schneefall_traum.ship'. I've set the arc of the two large mounts to 0 and the angles to -2.5 and 2.5 degrees.

- Nibelung
   - Medium turret arcs adjusted to no longer have frontal convergence
   - You can thank the people making silly frontal builds for that

IME, the Nibelung simply works better as frontal ship. I don't think you can cripple the mounts enough to make it better as a broadside ship. Until I moved to frontal setup, the AI did a very lousy job compared to Conquests. I used the medium mounts as point defense, now I just leave them empty.

With a Storm Needler, Amboss Heavy Autocannon (and optionally one or two railguns in the small slots), flux is maxed out anyway. Since Nibelung comes with the built in-range crippler, there is little point in using other large guns.

Dragonslayer Hammer is very disappointing in a frontal setup. It's useless in a broadside setup (not enough damage, easily intercepted / unguided).

I found the Ristreza in Lethia but it wasn't recoverable 
Is that the only one that spawns?

Kassadar builds new ones. You can frequently buy them at the military market and the antique seller. If you sell Kassadar a nanoforge, you can potentially buy a pristine one at the military market.
