Skallabjorns Re-vamped Energy Weapons - Increased Range & Damage

Original Mod by Cython is here and I take no credit for their work. I am only making a few changes.

Using this mod in place of the original will not KLANG your blueprints, but also note you cant use both at the same time.

**********

July 28 2018 - Plasma Launcher now has MUCH better sound! ROF fised and a new texture coming soon for both turrets.

April 25 2018 REVAMPED THE MOD - fixed plasma detonating previous shots ( the close in explosions ), adjusted laser damage, changed some projectile velocities and fire rates.
May 16 - 2018 Reballanced Damages vs Rocket, Nuke and my other weapons mods ( up ) due to the parts and heavier power consuption on these.

**********

I have changed the ranges ( upwards ) and also the components requirements ( Superconductors and Power cells increased on BOTH ) to facilitate the increase in range these have.

NOTICE - I THINK I have solved the early explosion problem withthe plasma bursts. I retuned the rate of fire and the velocities / accelerations of the plasma "missile".

Dammage adjusted, changed power requirements, laser overheat levels have been adjusted.

Additionally, I did some measuring and math, based on the visual model of the laser, I determined it can depress below the flat horizontal, so it can now depress 30 degrees below horizontal to be able to hit lower targets same as the gatling turrets can.

Added a muzzle flash to the laser.

Small Laser Turret (large ship):

Size: 1l x 1w x 2h
Upgrade Slots: 3
Range: 2000m
Targeting Range: 2000m
Power Useage 6 mw
Heat Limit : 2000

Small Plasma Turret (large ship):

Size: 1l x 1w x 2h
Upgrade Slots: 3
Range: 1500m
Targeting Range: 1500m
Power Useage 8 mw

June 4 2018 - made units airtight

PENDING VERSION, SUPER LASER ( LASER ONLY ), massive damage changes with appropriate power etc. wont release this untill i have a new texture for the unit. This one will be released with a small ship version if I can manage.

not supposed to work with weapons core, this mod was released way before that existed. Not broken, not going to update unless it does break.

Perhaps this is my conflict of mods (many mods), I tried in the creative.

ummmmmm thats weird.... is this on a server..... unalbe to reproduce your issue on local or my DS

Laser Turret at any range settings produces damage at a distance of 800 meters. When setting a distance of less than 800 meters, objects are still damaged at a distance of 800 meters, while the Laser Turret beam does not change its length (800 meters).

Thats very strange... never in te 2 years its been up has that happened and these have been on many DS in the past... will investigate....

Sadly there not buildable for us on DS possable fix?

Thank you for asking. Yes you may do so with this mod. Thanks

Hi, is it possible for having a tweak to this mod to incorporate some components that are specific to a server ? It is to make sure they are only made at a certain tier of progression in line with all the other mods ... would give you full credit , link etc and a place in the modders hall of fame in the starter station on the server ...

Targeting range results real 800 m, Laser does damage, but >800 the damage is 0!
