APN and TPG won't activate until the initial 1-turn finishes(if the missile has it).

Updated for 2.16

Updated for 2.15

Updated for 2.12.
As a side effect L launchers can only take 4 ejectors for now, will be fixed soon.

Missile expansion inventory tab reordered

• Now all missile launchers/gantries are flattened on a single page
  
• They are ordered in columns: light S, S, light M, M, L
  
• Launchers top, gantries below them, hatches bottom

Damage changes

• HE/EMP warhead damage halved, now 200/2000/20000, HE radius rescaled to be roughly the same
  
• Fragment damage halved, 200/1000/5000 at 360° (15/30/60 fragments with 6 AP)
  
• Thump damage down to ~53%
  
• Penetrator damage down to 75%, AP down to ~86%

Defense changes

• Interceptor damage down to 400/4000 from 750/7500
  
• Interceptor submunition count can be changed between 1-5.
  The nominal damage is divided evenly between them: 1x4000, 2x2000, 3x1333, 4x1000, 5x800 for M.
  
• APS flak damage down to 50% the damage of HE (from 75%)

Fixes

• Remote guidance module now no longer increases missile lifetime
  
• Removed cable length indicator that appeared for all missiles

Overall missiles should do less damage against unprepared opponents, and defenses aren't as effective in taking them down.

New module: remote control

• Lua lite, it goes for the target of the LWC attached to the launchpad's controller
  
• Has 20% of the base HP
  
• Not restricted to the head

A bit too strong for now, will add a random error based on distance from the launchpad or some kind of other countermeasure when I'm balancing IR/radar/sonar.

Balance

• Frag AP reduced from 10 to 6. Now it's noticeably worse against strong armor than HE, still much better against internals.

Fixes

• TPG/APN fix, now they also work on beam riders and on the missiles that the player follows
  
• The damage indicator in the upper right corner only shows the actual damage done for kinetic, without overkill
  
• Damage indicator in the top right will always remove damage instances after 5 seconds

Penetrator/impact damage and AP change

• Penetrator damage reduced: 4 * SPEED * MODULECOUNT * SCALE
  
• Penetrator AP scaling changed: 3.5 * SPEED * BODY_RATIO^2 * SCALE^2
  
• Impact AP doubled to 20, damage halved(doesn't brutalize soft bits that hard)
  
• Penetrator module is only available on M/L missiles

Penetrator number changes(again :) )

• Damage: 5 * SPEED * MODULECOUNT * SCALE
  
• AP: SPEED * BODY_RATIO * SCALE^2
  
• SCALE is 0.5/1/2 for S/M/L
  
• BODY_RATIO is (BODY_COUNT + THUMPER_COUNT) / TOTAL_MODULE_COUNT

I really like this version, probably sticking with it(maybe with some adjustments to numbers).

Shortrange thruster changes

• Fuel efficiency decreased, in 5 seconds now it uses up 4 fuel tanks(was 3)
  
• Duration can be 1-5 seconds, instead of 2.5-5

Penetrator numbers changed

• Kinetic damage is (BASE_DAMAGE / BODY_MODIFIER) * SQRT(EFFICIENCY_FACTOR)
  
• Kinetic AP is 40 * BODY_MODIFIER * SQRT(EFFICIENCY_FACTOR)
  
• EFFICIENCY_FACTOR is 0.1/1/10 for S/M/L
  
• BASE_DAMAGE is THUMP_DAMAGE * 0.55 at a given speed
  
• BODY_MODIFIER is SQRT(THUMPER_COUNT + BODY_COUNT + MODULE_COUNT/20)

It's an overall buff for penetrators with few bodies, a nerf for big missiles with SR thrusters.

Misc changes

• The 10% mass decrease of the previous update reverted, S mass increased by ~5%, L decreased by the same amount
  
• HE radius increased from DAMAGE^0.28 to DAMAGE^0.32

Penetrator missiles added

• Penetrator module in the Utilities tab(standard drag, same HP as fins/fuel)
  
• If a penetrator is present thump damage is converted to kinetic and a time after impact fuse is added(0.01 - 0.2 sec range)
  
• Kinetic has half the nominal damage of thump, AP is directly proportional to speed(15 at 200 m/s)
  
• L missiles do 5 penetrations(4 corners of a 1x1 square + the middle)
  
• When the fuse goes off EMP warheads arc their charge to the closest block within 5m

At ground level the heaviest SR thruster S missiles will go through ~1m metal, Ms a few meters of metal or 1 HA with some fluff, Ls ~2m HA.
Going higher penetrators get ugly, flying HA bricks beware!

Complete hit detection rewrite

• Fast missiles can't teleport through solid blocks, no more hits under armor
  
• Missiles can't get stuck in the gantries and do not knock each other around after launch
  
• Missiles explode on contact with the ground
  
• Unarmed/safety fused missiles still do thump damage to whatever they hit, then get destroyed
  
• Kinetic CIWS doesn't work with the changes, it's a useless newbie trap so no real loss

Damage changes

• HE/EMP damage down from 500/5000/50000 to 400/4000/40000
  
• Impact damage down from 50 for each m/s of speed to 30 (bodies were too close in damage on top of the durability bonus)
  
• Thumpers now only do the same damage as bodies(thumper+rider is still more durable, dumbfire more durable and more damaging than normal missiles)
  
• Frag scaling is now: 15 frags/400 damage/10 AP for S, 30/2000/10 for M, 60/10000/10 for L.
  Helps with performance and now S aren't disproportionately good against light targets.

Thrust/mass changes

• Torpedo propellers back to 2000 max thrust from 3000
  
• Shortrange thruster max thrust reduced to 4500 from 5000. Fuel cost increased to match, in 5 seconds it uses up 1 tank for every 1500 thrust.
  
• S are proportionally lighter, L are heavier (both ~15%), base mass is reduced by 5% for all sizes(affects both acceleration and top speed in the game).

Other changes

• Interceptors now show the damage done in the upper right corner
  
• Updated some module names/descriptions
  
• Beam riders now have APN/TPG
