📋 About This Mod
Missile Launchers
(v1. 0. 3 Overhaul)
The standard weight for missiles have gone up from being about the weight of a javelin to 3kg and adjusted their stats accordingly to bulk they put on. I used that formula to scale other missile types up and down to create Micro missiles which can overwhelm any AMS and some larger to massive missiles to victimize targets without AMS. I also introduced a new variant called Energy missiles which come packed with explosive or thermal concoctions. I posted some pictures below from my spread sheet that used to balance and build these weapons.Changes,
Missiles:
- Ammo weights have been adjusted to more practical weights.
- Less missiles per ammo bin
- Missile do more damage now with explosion damage as well
- Longer cooldowns but roughly same DPS
- Missile sizes range from micro to massive and specs scale based on weight.
New variants,
MBRL - Multi Barreled Rocket Launcher - variants - Standard, Micro
>> Short ranged launcher that fires a stream of unguided rockets that will explode when close enough to targets.
MGEP - Magnetic Guided Energy Projectile
>> Long ranged launcher that volleys gyro balls which ionize and influence highly volatile plasma towards your intended target.
LRPM - Long Range Phosphorus Missile
>> Long-range phosphorus missile system that ignites into a ball of fire upon impact causing anything in its wake to generate heat that may even trigger the pilot to eject or perish.
SCA-ML - Scatter Mine Launcher
>> A long-range projectile system fires missiles that are loaded with mines and will either plant as proximity mines or drop their payload when they pass over enemy targets. (planted mines explode after a duration if not triggered)
