A little progress update.
Working on the new ammo system for Ironclad ballistic weapons. New system uses regenerating ammo, but at much slower rates than vanilla ones. Ammo capacity, clip size and reload time is faction-based.
RSF have highest ammo count, but their reload time is 1 minute for all ballistic guns. However, they reload the entire clip. RSF ships with extended ammo capacity can fight for long with their guns eventually slowing down to 1 minute reloads.
XLE have the lowest ammo capacity per gun, but their guns reload every 12 seconds and guns are universally more powerful than ever RSF ones. Clip size is 1/3 of the total count. XLE weapons are best used with hit and run tactics in mind - unleash the full burst of ammo, retreat, repeat.
ISA have medium ammo capacity and reload ammo every 20 seconds. Clip size is 1/3 most of the time. ISA are somewhat balanced in terms of ammo usage/reload, but may suffer in prolonged battles.
UIN reload half of their guns` ammo capacity each 30 seconds. Basically, they are similar to RSF, but have less total ammo capacity.
