Good to hear. Ship got a lot of straight-up stat nerfs as well, but so did almost every BRDY ship. There's been a fair bit of power creepage since 2012.
The Karkinos has a lot of steering thrusters, but its considerable mass is tough to lug around. Plus, the inertia of having to transport an inter-dimensional vortex around in realspace constantly. enough justification?
Recent changes: Cosmetic weapons are additively blended, the Kurmaraja has a new animation for when it uses its ship system, and the most important change of all: The Hammerclaw now transfers force to whatever it hits.
No, this has nothing to do with me getting to despoil Sundog's amazing scripts.
