Echelon

When the Alterra space exploration no-weapon hippie division won't stop coming back in pieces or feces, it's up to the Alterra military research division to save the day. Or at least blow something up. Contrary to common believe, Alterra managers do like exploding things as much as the next person. Unless it's Alterra assets exploding, then possibly less so.

Thus introducing the certification-free edition of one of Alterra's most successful sub-aquatic obliteration vehicles, the Echelon.

While it doesn't sport the same cool black paint or doomsday arsenal as its deadlier sibling, it's still a step up from the typical Reaper-mouth-sized coffins normally available to Alterra personnel. You're welcome.

In a nutshell:

• []Exceptional, boost-driven maneuverability with leapfrog capability.

  []Smart onboard holographic projection of virtual environment with target lock and status recognition.

  []Rated for a lifetime of 30 years, a built-in nuclear battery provides a low but steady energy supply.

  []High resilience against any damages.

  []Self-healing capabilities.

  []Smart torpedo support with intercept capability and safety mechanics.

  []Onboard torpedo production, using materials filtered from the drive water flow.

  []Smart railgun support with aim assistance and intercept capability.

  Please be aware that Alterra is not responsible for accidents resulting from inappropriate speeds, particularly when leapfrogging out of the water.

  V1. 3. 7: Camera Shake

  This may not seem like a big thing considering at best you'll never consciously notice it, but I am lead to believe it changes the subtle feel of things. Dunno. Maybe.

  For me, this was an entirely new thing. I developed virtually everything a modern game has at one point or another ... except shaking cameras. I didn't know how to implement that, how to make it subtle but not too subtle, asf. In short, this is very experimental. It affects weapon firing, explosions, boosting, and ship collisions. There are now two new sliders in the mod options. One controls all camera shaking, the other affects only the camera shake due to boosting (which is more of a bobbing effect). If the new camera shaking feels off, you can change or completely disable it here. Do drop a comment if you feel this is to
