[Meltdown] Modular Bubble Shield Rebalance

Kuvaus
This is a rebalance from [Beta] Modular+++ Shields v0.62b mod and therefore requires that mod to work.

INCLUDES OVERCLOCK.

THIS DESCRIPTION IS OLD. I HAVE TO RE-MAKE IT CAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN MASSIVE CHANGES.

I just realized that I forgot to modify Model-B starting ship with the new modular system. Maybe in the weekend I will make a hotfix and also update the description below and add new images to the mod.

Here you can quickly see how the new modular system works
- Small Bubble Shield: https://discord.com/channels/314103695568666625/1272181420579749949/1396102143345299568
- Large Bubble Shield: https://discord.com/channels/314103695568666625/1272181420579749949/1396206761198747798

Changes Summary
I made a lot of changes from the original mod. You can read the changes in the changelog. To sum it up:
  • COMPLETELY REMADE BUBBLE SHIELDS (read below).
  • Removed vanilla shields and replaced them with the new shields.
  • Added Emmiter Effects, Sound, and some minor changes.
  • Modified all parts names, titles, descriptions.
  • Modified some graphic and sound effects to match the newest vanilla effects.
  • Added stats to the toggles.
  • Modified tech.
  • Modified distances and arcs to be more balanced, specially removed the 200º arc, and the ridiculous bubble sizes, and rebalanced the line shapes.
  • Modified Large shields to match Vainilla's large shields.
  • Added Model-B ship as a starter ship for career mode.
  • Added modular capabilities to the Bubble Shields.
  • Added Overclock to all parts.
  • Added a Spanish translation.
Bubble Shields
  • Small Bubble shield has 4 segments each with 5000 HP and 10 penetration resistance.
  • Large Bubble shield has 6 segments each with 10000 HP and 20 penetration resistance.
  • Shield Battery Module can be placed adjacent to a bubble shield, increasing the radius, penetration resistance and health of each segment.
The idea of a segmented shield is for balance. Normally, you can use focus fire toward a ship, ignoring most of their shields to attack a specific point. With original bubble shields, that was impossible, making them too resilient against concentrated fire. Now they have segments, which allows that tactic to be used against bubble shields. The Tiny Shield Generators can be used to provide extra health to help you against focused fire, allowing you to build a modular shield.

Bugs Known that I have no idea how to fix:
  • Small and Large Shields blink and kind of jump when changing from some angles to some other angles.
  • Changing from Arc to Line or Line to Arc in Small Shield isn't smooth.
  • Shield Battery Modules show a shield connection icon in both directions.
  • By default, the shield are always rotated to the left, even though I made front be the default angle.
  • Tiny Shield (flat shields) effects look ugly.
  • Shield Battery Module appears twice in the priority section.
  • I can't find the way to add a nice BuildBox for the Bubble Shield to show radius, health and penetration resistance as the Resonancer Lance Turrent.
  • If you attach a line of Shield Battery Modules (more than 1) to two Bubble Shield, it hard crashes.
  • If you had a shield before the update, you might need to power it off and on to make it work (cause it uses triggers and you need to update them).
    In the worst cases, you might have to remove it and place it again, or even start a new game :(.

Then would at least increasing the radius that the batteries give be able? I feel like this mod really forces you to start from scratch, instead of being easy to modify already existing designs, because 1m isn't much for a large ship, thanks

@licflagg, at the moment, I didn't implement any special code to prevent unexpected behaviour when the same modular battery line is being attached to multiple shields. I don't know when I will try to fix that behaviour cause I want to do many other things first. The idea is that you use a modular battery to affect only ONE shield at a time.

@TheKorpsemen, I don't understand the problem. I didn't like that the previous mod had too much radius for the shields so I reduced their size to match vanilla shields. However, as I know that is problematic cause many people would like to make larger ships, I implemented the mechanic of modular batteries to increase the radius. I won't increase the base range of the bubble shields.

Absolutely loving this mod, literally my only complaint I have is that the new sizing function is a bit too much of a change, especially for ships with the previous shields. It does present a fun challenge but I feel that this mod would benefit the "resize shield" feature of the previous mod, and have this current system be a bit of a cherry on top if you want it even bigger, otherwise I love the mod!

Found a pretty bad bug: When using two shields, and attempting to join them with the battery modules, a single line works just fine, but any longer, and the game hard-crashes. not even with the error reporter. here's an example:

O = shield - = battery
O-O: fine. shields function normally
O--O, O---O or greater: Hard crash

Infinite, although when not overclocked they have diminishing returns.

How big is the largest size you can get the bubble shield up to?

[Beta] Modular+++ Shields v0.62b is not my mod and so I can't make changes to it. I'm only rebalancing that mod and adding new stuff through this mod.

@dx155 What do you mean? I already updated this mod. Now it has overclock on everything. I'm currently working on some balancing changes, but everything is functional.

Please update
