I love the ship builder, but especially for engines, it feels like it lacks variety. Due to that, I decided to change it.
This mod is a Work in Progress.
Changes
The overarching changes will be done per manufacturer.
Slayton will not get any bonus, as they are objectively the best. All engines are 2 power
Reladyne, the manufacturers of the white dwarf series, will get a +30 buff to max speed for all of their engines. So all of their A class now have 180 speed. All B have 170, and all C have 160. All engines are 3 power
Panoptes, manufacturers of the poseidon series, will get 0.5/0.75/1 extra reactor power. This means they are the most efficient engines by far, allowing more power for other systems. Engines Stay 2/3/4 power
Amun Dunn, the manufacter of the amun dunn series, gets a 50% buff to all boosts. Be the winner of every dogfight. All engines are 3 power.
Additions
This mod also adds 2 new Engines. The Ares DT70 and Amun-8. Both of these lines never had an experimental engine, so I decided it was fitting to give them an extra engine to play with.
TO DO
Each tier 4 engine will get a "special ability" of sorts. This is because Experimental Engines should feel unique.
Currently none of these are implemented, but possible ones are
- Higher Boost Speed
- Faster Boost Regen
- More Boost Fuel
- Strafe Bonus
I'd love to add things like "Regen shield during boost", but this requires a lot more logic and effort. If you got any ideas on what to add, feel free to leave a comment.
