TOs Combat Tweaks Plus

A full revamp of vanilla weapons with a few addition, there are now 2 large homing torpedoes that run off the in-game target locking mechanism. One type of smaller missile that can be locked on --or-- will auto detect forward targets (used for the sidewinder shoulder launcher). Flares are useful now and have a 75% chance to break target locks, so if you see these coming for you i recommend using them. Using gatling's and flares as a combination can negate most incoming missile damage. more details below

[Recent Update: Multiplayer positioning support and flares now can be used to break target locks]

(Additions):------------------------

-Added a custom made torpedoes and launcher with vanilla aesthetic. One launcher can fire both torpedoes
-Torpedo Guidance and homing ability added (Vanilla grid target locking)
-Nuclear Homing Torpedo (You don't want to be hit with this, trust me)
-Standard Homing Torpedo (Homing, target lock and fire)
-200mm Sidewinder missiles (Friend or foe target lock anything in front of it or manual target lock)
*Sidewinders can't be loaded into the 19 round large rocket launcher for balance reasons*
-The Elite PRO handheld launcher is now a MANPAD and can fire sidewinders
-Turrets placed, built, or spawned with a grid now always have max range set. (This sets up enemy grids so they can fight back at range)
-Gatling's always set to target missiles (They are now the single most effective way not to get hit by a nuke and have been set up as an anti-torpedo and Anti-Drone point defence weapon)
-Added custom special effects to change up how things look
-Removed smoke particles from smaller weapons to improve performance in fights
-Reduced smoke from larger weapons to improve performance and less distraction

(Tweaks):-----

-Extended Target Locking Range to 5km
-Turret ranges and projectile speed increased (Includes custom turret controller)
-Most Ammo Recipes have been reworked to be more realistic and easier to make
-Spotlight range and effect extended
-Nerfed the insane interior turret accuracy
-Railguns are much more powerful, but have a doubled recharge amounts
-Missiles have been completely reworked into a volley style weapon, their reload time is horribly painful but they pack a big punch and fire fast. Try a broadside with static launchers it is epic.
-Other small tweaks here and there, give it a try and let me know what you think! Will not play nice with other modes that change vanilla weapons and ammo's

**NOTES**
-Will need survival balancing, WIP
-Nuclear explosion from torpedo seen in video has been reduced for balancing, it was a bit too terrifying
-If the block the torpedo is locked onto gets destroyed guidance will fail and turns dumbfire
-Homing script has been modified to allow time for missiles to clear the ship before guidance turns on and also takes ship velocity into account when firing so it is now speed mod friendly but if you really try hard you can still run into your own torpedoes ;)
-Sidewinder missiles are low damage and meant for drones, they are directional locking friend or foe missiles so pointy end towards the enemy. Heat seeking so will not track if all thrusters get destroyed on the target
-Not an addition but many do not know, if you target lock a grid you get a little range boost to AI turret target range ;)


Homing Torpedoes use modified script from https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2841320639 Check them out they are deadly
A Big Thank you to @Meridius_IX / Lucas, torpedoes would not reload properly with out him!
