Name: Superior Firepower
Version: 1.05
First Release Date: 11/09/2010 (That's November 9th, 2010 before anyone gets confused.)
Category: Gameplay Effects and Changes
Author(s): Exposure (FOokunity forum name)
Source: New Vegas Nexus OR Gamespy

Description
===========
Superior Firepower is exactly what it says on the tin, gives you(and your enemies) the superior firepower this game should have had.


Details
=======
This mod modifies the weapons in the following ways:

Superior Firepower - Energy Weaponry: Makes SEC weapons ignore 6DT, MFC weapons ignore 10 DT, ECP weapons ignore 12 DT, and Microfusion Breeder weapons ignore 15 DT. Why? Cause otherwise those weapons are about as useful as dirt. Also, because that means they're still functioning minature nuclear power plants.

Superior Firepower- Alternate Energy Weapons, same values, just that ECP ignore 6DT, SEC ignore 10DT, MFC ignore 12DT, with MFB still ignoring 15DT.

Superior Firepower - Kinetic Weaponry: 5.56 and 5mm ammo ignores 5DT. 4570 ammo ignores 2.50 DT. .308, .50BMG and 12x7mm ammo ignores 5DT as well. 9mm and .357 ammo ignore 1 DT.

Superior Firepower (BETA) - Explosive Weaponry: Alters 40mm, 25mm, and Missile Weaponry. Adds a new 40mm grenade type, and two grenades. Fat Man is now more powerful cause Obsidian nerfed the hell out of it.

Types are normal, Shaped Charge, Pulse, and Plasma
Normal explosives suffer from DT increases. For a reason I somehow compeletely forgot.
Shaped Charge explosives negate DT by 12.
Pulse explosives affect robots.
Plasma explosives negate DT by 6.
(All High Explosive ammo types have been changed to Shaped Charge ammo.)

Item codes for the new ammo and grenades are the following:
xx002D46 - 40mm Grenade Shaped Charge
xx0035E0 - 40mm Greanade Plasma
xx0035EB - 40mm Grenade Pulse
xx0035E5 - 25mm Grenade Plasma
xx0035EE - 25mm Grenade Pulse
xx0035E8 - Plasma Missile
xx0035F5 - Pulse Missile
xx0035F1 - Pulse Bomb(MININUKe subtype)
xx14DDDF - Stun Grenades
xx12701F - Gas Grenades


Superior Firepower - Misc Changes: All weapons renamed to either fit it with Fallout Lore, FOOK Lore, or their real life weaponry.

Superior Firepower - Unique Weaponry: That Gun renamed to .308 Pistol(It is essentially a sawned off hunting rifle), does 38 damage. Lucky now does uber damage on a critical, but aside from sneak attack critical(in which the GECK is confusing me, since it seems to be telling me sneak attack criticals aren't sure since the DPS value with it was very low.) Gobi has twice the condition since it survived the Gobi campaign, etc.

Superior Firepower - Factional Changes: Currently boosts the NCR and Legion. Legion weapons are slightly more varied, but troopers can now access more than one weapon.

Superior Firepower - Leveled Lists Fix: OH SWEET JESUS CHRIST. Guess what, there are many leveled lists in which you are supposed to get different weapons depending on your level. But thanks to Obsidian setting "iLevItemLevelDifferenceMax" to something that isn't 0, you will ONLY get weapons that are either at your level or the closest to your level. This sets it to 30 so you actually have a chance of getting good or possibly bad weapons. I HIGHLY SUGGEST you get this, even if you don't like everything else.

Superior Firepower - New Weaponry: Exactly what it says on the tin, new weapons.

The *insert skill here* Weaponry .esps also come in Lesser, which have half the DT ignoring abilites, and Greater, which have 1.5 times the DT Ignoring abilites.

History
=======
1.05 12/24/2010 - New unique weapon added, you can find it at The Fort. Where in the fort? Only things Im telling you is that its not with Caesar, not an Arena reward and not in a container. Go search.
1.04 11/26/2010 - Factional Changes, Leveled List Fix esps added.
1.03 11/15/2010 - Plasma, Shaped Charge/High Explosive, and Pulse types have been added to 40mm, 25mm, and Missiles. New Fat Man ammo type called Pulse Bomb, less destructive, but severely affects robots.
Gas and Stun greandes should work better without the bug now. Explosives.esp moved to beta status.
1.02a 11/13/2010 - One 40mm grenade and two normal greande types added.
1.02 11/12/2010 - Misc Changes now includes about every weapon that has a real life counterpart, more Unique Weaponry changed. ALPHA Explosive Weaponry .esp added, it's an alpha, so its incomplete currently.
1.01, 11/09/2010 - Unique Weaponry .esp added
1.0, 11/09/2010 - Initial release.


Possible Incompatibilities
==========================
Any mod that edits the ammo effects, vanilla ammos, with Misc Changes, the weaponry names, or unique weapons will conflict with this mod. It won't crash, but depending on the load order you won't see either the effects of the other mod or this mod.

If in doubt, use FNVEdit and check for conflicts. What's the URl to it you may ask? Go search for it on the New Vegas Nexus, I'm not helping you with everything.

Contact
=======
You can find me on the the FOOKNV forums under the ID Exposure. And yes, ONLY the FOOKNV forums, why?
Because the ones who go there after reading this or the description page will be the ones I listen to cause they actually bothered reading that or this before complaining.
