AHI Thruster Rebalance
Showing 1-10 of 12 entries
< 1  2 >
Update: 4 Feb, 2022 @ 3:17am

New to this update:
NB All changes compared to the previous release.
- Support for Warfare 2 Broadside patch and DLC.

- Ion
Nothing.

- Hydrogen
Nothing.

- Atmospheric
Nothing.

Why?

This is primarily a maintenance build. All definitions have been re-established based on the current default declarations.

NB This means Tiered Updates have been added. I don't know enough about what the values mean to make any specific changes, but don't want to inadvertently cause engine issues by leaving them out.

NB All changes compared to the previous release.
- Ion
* All variants have 25% increased thrust output, bringing the initial scaling in line with the base game.
* All variants have a subsequent 25% increase in maximum power usage.
* Applied all changes to [DLC] Sparks of the Future variants.

- Hydrogen
Nothing. These are still tuned off a value 20% higher than the base game, and no official variants exist (that I know of).

- Atmospheric
* All variants have a 25% increased thrust output, bringing the initial scaling in line with the base game.
* All variants have a subsequent 25% increase in maximum power usage.
* Applied all changes to [DLC] Sparks of the Future variants.

Why?

Patch 1.195 introduced [DLC] Sparks of the Future, which added new thruster variants. Unfortunately, these are not simply skins - they're completely re-declared entities, which means they inherit none of the properties that their "parent" entity has. This required manual correction to ensure that these variants were identical to their base counterparts in terms of output, power requirement, and parts (where I've altered them), as they should be.

If I have missed any of the variants, please let me know! I couldn't find a Hydrogen section in the SotF configuration file, so I'm not sure if there just aren't any new ones or they're declared somewhere else I'll need to track down.

I also took the opportunity to do a general clean-up to match the current game configuration. This includes separating out the files and the removal of the outdated "BlockVariants" property, repositioning the "GuiVisible" properties, and increasing some base thrust values.

Nothing.

- Hydrogen Thrusters:
Nothing.

- Ion Thrusters:
Nothing.

- Maintenance Build.

Why?

The 01.189 release included some new flags and features which needed to be updated for full compatibility. Some Keen-side balance changes were also incorporated. As yet I have not checked to see what if any other changes are required.

No changes have been made to functionality.

- Maintenance build

Why?

Incorporated the new flags from the 1.118 build: IsAirTight and Description. All values are set to their Keen defaults for now.

No changes have been made to functionality or balance.

Primarily a maintenance build (adding PCUs). Also toned down Small Grid Atmospheric thrusters.

- Atmospheric Thrusters:
(Reduced the thrust output and power requirements of Small Grid variants by 50%.)
* Small Grid Small Atmospheric Thruster Thruster:
++ Maximum thrust set to 80kN.
++ Maximum power usage set to 133kW.
* Small Grid Large Atmospheric Thruster:
++ Maximum thrust set to 720kN.
++ Maximum power usage set to 1.2MW.

1.186 maintenance release

Update: 15 Jan, 2017 @ 10:50pm

Reduced the size and quality of the thumbnail. Mod is still 95% thumbnail by size, but better than 99%!
