📋 About This Mod
Overview
Dropship PPCs and lasers have a -66% damage quirk. This mod eliminates that quirk so that Dropship energy weapons do the same damage as their 'Mech equivalents. This means both allied and enemy Dropships will hit harder. There are options for the vanilla version of the game and the Realistic Weapon Velocities mod.🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data
