Miscellaneous tweaks to Drewgamer

Miscellaneous tweaks designed to change the feel of the game while trying to stay close to Egosoft's original vision

Content introduction:

shield

All S-shield lag reduced to 20% of original value

All M shield charge delays removed

Argon/Teladi L/XL shield charging delay reduced to 1% of original value

Paranid/Xenon L/XL shield charging delay reduced to 0.5% of original value

guns

All projectiles speed increased 3x (excluding missiles)

Projectile throw speed increased to 299,792,458 m/s, making them essentially hitscan

Beam weapons (not turrets) no longer have initial fire heat (but overheat faster to compensate)

Beam weapons (not turrets) have no flame delay and can fire continuously

Removed "Reload" from all Gatling Gun weapons (can fire continuously)

All guns (except Gatling) damage increased by 1.5x

(The gatling inadvertently caused a 1.5x damage increase when reloading, I like the way the damage is increased)

All mk2 version guns have been tweaked to directly improve the mk1 version

(all mk2 weapons are improved in most areas but actually worse in others)

M beam gun adjusted, damage increased by 1.5 times (total 2.25 times), but heat increased by 1.5 times

Give pulse lasers a steady flame (without "reloading") and reduce their flames by half (damage increased to compensate)

Destroyers now use new weapons for their main batteries (railguns) in the works

turret

All projectile turrets rotate 3x faster (excluding missiles)

L turret damage equals 2 M guns, range is 1.5x M gun series

M turret has damage equal to 2 S guns and has the same range as the M gun

Fixed firing sounds on ghat towers and transom turrets

space suit

Removed "wubwub" crash sound from Spacesuit Repair Laser

Space suit repair laser range increased by 4x

Increases the repair rate of spacesuit repair lasers by 10x

Spacesuit laser damage increased by 10x (making the suit easier to break lock on)

Xenon/Kha'ak

Xenon L laser damage increased by 1.5x, speed increased by 3x, range increased to 10k

Xenon M laser damage/range is equal to M gatling mk1, heat is equal to M pulsed laser mk2

Xenon S laser has damage between S matling mk1/2 with heat equal to S pulse laser mk2

Xenon turrets follow Commonwealth turret balance (Xenon M beam is equivalent to Commonwealth M beam)

Kha'ak M Beam same damage/heat as Federation M Beam mk1, range is 1.5x

Kha'ak S beam has equal damage/heat to Federation S beam mk1 with a range of 1.5x

Miscellaneous tweaks/fixes

S no longer uses boosters when fighting other S ships

Paranid M mining ship allows use of mining turrets

Crystals now emit a color based on "rpg rarity" (white, green, blue, purple, orange): Thanks to Shuruna's Crystal Finder mod for the idea!

Fishing out no longer causes ship damage when the pilot bails

Now provides a bonus (up to 1.5x) when the attacking ship has more hulls than the defending ship

"Weapon Output" in the in-game encyclopedia now displays the DPS of all weapons in megawatts per second

Boost duration (efficiency) has been increased 3x for all engines (boost uses 3x less shields)
