REM REVAMPED X3-XR-X4 (WIP)

Requirements

Timeline DLC (I know isn't very popular, so in the future, I'll make this mod independant) DONE for the 1. 1-9. 0. 4

And most importantly: THIS IS A TEST VERSION: DO NOT PLAY A FULL GAME WITH IT. Since this is a version still in development, I’m releasing it to identify various bugs and balance issues so we can fix them all. I need players to test it so I can improve it.

The testing guide is at the bottom of this page. But before you get to the guide, here’s some background information.

DESCRIPTION : 

For those who don't know, REM is a complete rebalancing of ships by racializing them. This means that each race has its own specific characteristics. It makes the ships more unique and gives them realistic physics. If you want to know more, the mod is here:

So I suggested to Realspace that I modify his mod, and with his agreement, I'm using REM to do a major overhaul of the weapons and turrets to reinforce the fact that each race has its own specific characteristics.

So, I'm going to start by presenting the ideas, then the progress made, and finally the work to be done :

Step 1:

New weapon effects, descriptions, damage balancing:

Terran Done

Paranid Done

Teladi Done

Bug fixes (I think there are quite a few)     =====> WE ARE HERE

Slight reworking of the economy to see if the weapons are consistent with their prices

Implementation of damage to weapons and shields M/S

Bug fixes (there will surely be some)

Replacement/creation of missiles, some will be inspired by X3, others by XR, and the rest by me or people who suggest ideas to me.

Bug fixes

As I said, the goal is to reinforce the feeling that each race has its own specific characteristics. Here they are:

Argon :

Versatile weapons with long range. Weapons from XR and X3 have been implemented, such as the HEPT, HIT/MA, Plasma/MA, and Particle Accelerator, as well as certain weapons from Beryll and Plutarch.

Paranid :

Beam weapons, generally medium-to short-range, usually slightly more powerful than average. Shields are slightly weaker to compense

Split :

Very aggressive faction, with very powerful weapons that can inflict damage directly on the hull. Battles are generally lethal, both for opposing ships and for the Splits, who have very little shield.

Boron :

They are peaceful, so they have a lot of shields, and their weapons are more focused on neutralization. They inflict a lot of damage to shields and very little to hulls, and have special effects that cause targets to drift. However, they should not be underestimated, as these effects can be decisive in combat.

Teladi :

Their weapons are useless, but they have a lot of shields and hull. Some of their weapons have a dual function, combining combat and mining. Fighting a Teladi ship can take time and overheat your weapons because they are so sturdy.

Xenon :

These are killing machines, descended from the terraformers who nearly destroyed Earth. Their weapons are carefully chosen to be deadly. A word of advice: never face a P or a B head-on, and make sure you have weapons that can easily destroy the hull of an I, as the Xenons' armor is significant.
