Scy Nation's origin and history
The Scy Nation literally emerged from the ashes of the "Science Colony of Yggdrasil". Before the Collapse, the S.C.o.Y. was a nomadic colony built inside an asteroid to travel the stars and study the universe one system at a time. When the Great Collapse occurred and the gate system shutdown the colony became trapped in the Sector, its inhabitants found themselves at the unfortunate center of attention of the Tri-Tachyon Corporation, the Hegemony and the Luddic Church, all eager to get their hands on Yggdrasill's mini-autofactory and its intact pre-collapse UAC library. Using the gigantic ship as a Cryo-arch, two thirds of the population would escape the crossfire while the rest were put to the stake by Ludd fanatics for worshiping the "demonic autofactory".
They tried to rebuild their life in a remote system, away from the core worlds Collapse, but circumstances always seems to pull them back, always forcing them to take further extremes measures to ensure their survival.

Gameplay
Skirmisher to the core, Scyan ships have a deep flux pool to make the most out of an hit-run, and slightly better speed to manage to disengage. On the other hand they have slightly more fragile hulls, narrow shields, terrible flux dissipation (relying on venting instead) and fewer weapon mounts. They have to rely on wolf pack tactics to kill isolated targets while the bigger enemies are tied up pursuing smaller prey. Their weapons usually have worse range than vanilla one but superior damage, making even the smallest ship a potential threat if left completely unchecked. When pursued however, they can fold very quickly due to their exposed sides and low staying power.
This faction mixes all techs in a melting pot of advanced engineering craziness, producing ships and weapons unlike any others. It features ships with modular armor, teleporting guns, phase missiles, laser torpedoes, all sorts of miniguns and more.

BALANCING:
- Mild miscellaneous buffs to:
· LVDS (range)
· Laser Torpedo Rack (op)
- Siren-class cruiser:
· Base number of special teleporting shells reduced to 4 from 5. (regeneration unchanged at 50s per ammo)
· Toggling off the Siren ship system without firing returns the unused charge and negates the cooldown.
· Teleporting shell now only deals Frag damage. (to make it more usable to save an over-extended allied ship)
BUGFIXES/IMPROVEMENTS:
- Added a stat display to the Modular Armor hullmod
- Fixed missing stealth mechanic for the player fleet.
- Hopefully finally fixed the Keto's main gun crash.
- Fixed missing system for the Aklys fighter.

[RC6] Fixed Nexerelin Random mode crash.
[RC5]
- Nemean Lion system now behaves properly under AI control.
- Acheron's generation tweaked so that there is no longer so much empty space with the next procgen system.
- Miniguns no longer listed as benefitting from energy modifiers (they still do, but the mount type shenanigans broke the refit screen).
- Hopefully plugged the last memory leak from Scy.
- Added Civilian and fake Militarized Subsystems hullmods built-in to all civies, as a horribly convoluted workaround to the skill thresholds issue.
Singularity Torpedo:
· Removed from all variants and from Scy's available blueprints.
· It is now only available from rare salvage, and will probably be moved to Seeker/TaDA at some point along the Light Plating, Reactive Armor and Economical Maintenance hullmods.
BALANCING:
- Phased Missile Launcher: Ammo increased to 15 from 12.
- Cluster Torpedo Launcher: Ammo increased to 10 from 6.
- Arc Missile:
· Hp raised to 400 from 200,
· Damage stats messed with (but not the arcs),
· Rack OP cost lowered to 3 from 4.
- KAcc mk.1:
· Damage per shot reduced to 150 from 160,
· DPS increased to 150 from 140,
· Flux to fire reduced to 165 from 173.
· Overall slightly more efficient with a cleaner stat card, fits better as a third alternative between the Railgun and LDA.
- KAcc mk.2:
· Flux to fire reduced to 480 from 500,
· Now fires in bursts of 2 rounds.
· A smidgen more flux efficient, half the burst damage of the Heavy Needler, but a decent armor pen and causes very long overloads.
- KAcc mk.3: DPS increased to 333 Kinetic dmg/s from 300.
- HEMor mk.1: Flux to fire reduced to 210 from 235.
- HEMor mk.2: Flux to fire reduced to 600 from 700.

- Balius-class tanker: Fuel capacity increased to 600 from 500.
BUGFIXES/IMPROVEMENTS:
- Restored Nexerelin random mode compatibility for 0.95a.
- Fixed *many* memory leaks. (Can't say how significant they were, but every bit helps I suppose)
