[0.97a] Random Weapon Collection
« on: February 03, 2024, 03:29:19 PM »

Random Weapon Collection
Adds a few weapons and some ships I wanted to make.
Still under construction, but releasing so people can try them out.

If you have a good idea for something I should add, let me know.  I might make it.  Maybe.
Balance feedback is appreciated
Contains:
Egret- Midline capital carrier very similar to the Heron

Onslaught (B)- Onslaught variant with a beam TPC.  Does not spawn in NPC fleets/markets currently.

Conqueror- Midline battleship, fast but very poor rear arcs.  Comes with 2 fighter bays.

Javelin- Midline cruiser with AAF.  Main armament is 4 medium ballistics.

Polaris- Midline battlecarrier with reloading Harpoon launchers.

Viper- Midline frigate with AAF.

Barrage-Capital ship made out of station parts.  Slow, but heavy firepower.

Viking -Missile frigate

Warhawk- Very mobile cruiser, based on the Falcon.

Autopulse Beam- Designed as a shitpost, is just an Autopulse Laser that was turned into a beam weapon.  Does not spawn in NPC fleets/markets currently.
Plasma Beam- Similar to the Autopulse Beam, but based on the Plasma Cannon.  Does not spawn in NPC fleets/markets currently.
Tachyon Accelerator- Projectile variant of Tachyon Lance.  Does not pierce shields.  Will occasionally show up in mercenary fleets.
Light Mjolnir- Single-barrel Mjolnir, fits in medium slots.
Mjolnir Heavy Cannon- Triple-barrel Mjolnir, good luck finding something with the flux to use this well.
Devastation- Large slot HE ballistic weapon.   Will show up in mercenary fleets occasionally.
Heavy Positron Cannon- Hybrid large weapon.  Probably needs more balancing.
Positron Cannon- Medium version of the Heavy Positron Cannon.
Piledriver Heavy Railcannon- Large kinetic ballistic. 
Harpoon Missile Battery-Large slot Harpoon launcher.



Can be added mid-playthrough and should function correctly if done.

If you have a good idea for something I should add, let me know.  I might make it.  Maybe.
Balance feedback is appreciated
Known issues:
Spoiler
-Due to Persean League doctrine, the Egret will rarely spawn in faction stores.
-The Onslaught variant is terribly balanced.  This is fine.
-Sounds for the beam weapons are terrible.  Will be fixed in a future release.

I love Mjolnir cannon and anyone that love Mjolnir cannon too, texture of Triple-barrel Mjolnir is little bit off, barrel of vanilla Mjolnir cannon is a little bit off the block the Triple-barrel Mjolnir is entirely in the block so it is bit out to the back. did I said I love Mjolnir cannon, I love Mjolnir cannon.https://imgur.com/a/uXWtzzk

It's a fun idea, yeah.  Probably not balanced well yet though.

Thank you.  The credit for most/all of the sprites should go to the people who made them, I just bashed a few together or borrowed them outright.
More will be coming eventually.

- medium and large atropos torpedo racks
- large harpoon torpedo racks
- large sabot srm pod
-Probably won't do that, it's not a real Onslaught without the TPCs (or another builtin).
-Medium/large Atropos are already in a few mods, can't remember which right now.
-Large harpoon/sabot sounds neat, probably going to be hard to balance though.
Good idea
