📋 About This Mod
What is this Mod?
This mod gives a decent buff to the weapons with auto-aim behavior, and adds auto-aim behavior to the twin lasers. Old-school players will remember that once upon a time, Lasers had auto-aim in vanilla.
The mod also slightly increases the locking angle of other weapons, and disables the "Overheat: Switch Weapon" graphic that appears EVERY time a gun hits max heat.
Philosophy
No Man's Sky combat is arguably its weakest point. Why are we being subjected to combat nerfs that only make the game more frustrating in space combat than it already is??
Known Side-Effects
None.

About Available Versions
MBINCompiler version used will match the MOD version. Any older mod that is no longer compatible with the current version of No Man's Sky will be demoted to the "Old Files" subsection, but will remain available for download. If I have missed one, please tell me.
This means that any mod files which are not hidden or demoted to the "Old Files" area can be expected to work.
MBINCompiler versions exactly match the version of No Man's Sky that was current when the MBINCompiler was made. In other words, MBINCompiler version = NMS version. This fact can be used to figure out which Legacy mods work with which Legacy versions of No Man's Sky.

Thanks to dtrail for the update assist on Restored Maglock 2. 41!
Big thanks to any and all of you lovely people who offer donations! It is greatly appreciated, and will help me buy lunch while I'm busy being a broke college student! :D
And, of course, all of the other modders who make mods too! It is very common that I inspect the work of other modders to learn how things are done. RangerDulann, WoodyMontana, jasondude, Gumsk, Mjjstral, moddinaccount, Devilin Pixy, saa044, and others have all helped me learn how to mod effectively! Without the other people mentioned here and their mods and applications, I would not be able to make any mods at all!
