1.3.0

Variable Evanesco!

We are beginning the overhaul of the underlying code. Prior to this update series, ALL weapon values were called variables instead of hard-coded values. Made things easier to track and balance, but lead to a larger footprint and load times. Now is the time we'll be remedying this issue. Additionally, AI weights will be rectified as the files are gone over, so fewer "Really? T1 shields with T10 guns? GG, AI Empire, GG."

• Changed Laser Archetype, Military Power, Damage, Firing Rates, and AI Weights to hard-codded values.
  
• Updated Laser AI weights.

• Added AI Tag Weights to Plasma.
  
• Added AI Weight modifier for Cosmic Storms to Plasma.
  
• Changed Disruptor Archetype, Military Power, Damage, Firing Rates, and AI Weights to hard-codded values.
  
• Updated Disruptor AI Weights.
  
• Added AI Tag Weights to Disruptors.
  
• Changed Energy Torpedo Archetype, Military Power, Damage, Firing Rates, and AI Weights to hard-codded values.
  
• Updated Energy Torpedo AI weights.
  
• Added AI Tag Weights to Energy Torpedos.
  
• Added AI Weight modifier for Cosmic Storms to Energy Torpedos.

1.2.5

Quick update to bring mod into new patch line.

• Updated Descriptor file to reference new patch line: 3.14.*

1.2.4

Simple update to bring up to current patch: 3.13.0

• Updated version to current: 3.13.0

1.2.3

Small update to fix version syntax.

• Updated supported version from "3.12.*" to "v3.12.*" Amazing what a single "v" can do!"

Have plans for some big code overhauls. Hardcoding some calls, tweaking AI weights, reducing load times.... all the good things. Will not be able to do it all at once (will kill save games with the level of changes), so will be rolled out slowly. Will have more details as we get closer to it, time permitting. ^.^

You get tags! YOU get tags! Titanic weapons get tags!

Little change I overlooked, my bad. Your crisis titans should now have access to proper pewpew for "negotiations."
