Its pretty much just a modded fat man. It has been tweaked as not to be too powerful, yet still be worthy of calling a nuke. Also, I believe that the base value of a mini nuke is 250 caps, which is quite expensive.
I mean the cost decrase is kind of irrelevant since eventually player will gain thousands upon thousands of caps , Talon Company made sure to send me free xp and stuff to sell , though it got much needed power up as it's range was kind of weak for such a horrifying weapon .
Wow this Mod works great and fixes one of the most annoying things about the game. I mean you are firing a small tactical nuke it should have a fairly large kill radius but it also should be hazardous to use. The vanilla Fatman is very powerful but the Kill zone is puny meaning you almost have to have a direct hit?????? Really with a nuke? But this mod fixes it nicely. Now it has a decent kill zone and can be used for area attacks which is what it should be for. You do have to be careful now, if you use this at targets too close or in an enclosed space you and your companions will Die!! However I like that. You should say to yourself before whipping out a nuclear weapon "Is this a good idea? will I survive this?" Another plus is it makes the Ammo wasting MIRV unnecessary. So now you can just put that on your display shelf. Seems to play nicely with other mods ......So Kudos
I have been trying to figure out how to modify the rarity of an item like that, but I am new to fallout modding...I will figure it out eventually. I know how to modify the value and I have been considering giving them a base value of 100 instead of 250. I will probably upload a tweaked version tonight.
Fun? Yes, definitely. And that's the important thing. Possibly even more "realistic"..
Balanced? No. If you felt the FatMan Nukes were too expensive and rare for their impact, why not make them cheaper and more common? That might make that heavy piece of junk actually useful.
As I said, could be great fun to play with this mod and I'm gonna give it a try. But I wouldn't call it balanced
