About this mod
Makes Boosters more believable and less of a get out of jail card.
- Permissions and credits
I. IDEA:
I always found it rather annoying that you have this booster that gives you 8x the thrust power, 8 TIMES!!!. In what world is that somekind of realistic value? I take inspiration from games like DCS where afterburner is meant as a heavy tradeoff tool, a bit more power in your engines, (notice A BIT) for a heavy price in fuel, and you also have to judge there wether or not a fight with afterburner use is still viable considering your fuel state. Space is ofc a bit different:
-Boosters are now a very tactical and situational tool, you go into a fight and have to assess at all times if you can win it or not. If you feel like losing escaping via booster is certainly still an option but you will need significantly more time to get out of the action which means you have to decide earlier if you wanna risk the rest of your shields ifghting or pulling out early enough.
-Boosters can further be used to keep the energy going if you need to make a quick turn. (or at least if you also play with my other mod which reduces engine powers)
-Basically it´s a tool now to give you a tactical edge rather than a something that guarantees your survival once used.
II. Changes:
So I tweaked things down ONLY FOR S AND M CLASSES:
Variant A:
travel: 1.1x-1.4x
All Around: 1.5x-2x
Combat: 2x-3x
+/- some race specific stuff
Variant B:
travel: 1.05x-1.2x
All Around: 1.15x-1.3x
Combat: 1.2x-1.5x
+/- some race specific stuff
Also increased boost time to accomodate. Overall I think this already feels much better. I personally prefer variant B(note that i play with another mod of mine that further reduces acceleration by 50 percent)
III.Install
add to extension folder
Dependencies: DLCs and VRO are optional dependencies.
IV. Collection:
This mod is part of me trying to revamp my playthrough by making things a lil more believable by nerfing all that gamey
alien scifi tech.
Other mods:
Slow Gimbals - Reduces the gimbal speed of guns to slightly nerf autoaim.
Flight Model Tweaks Immersive Boosters - Reduces Booster power to more realistic values
Flight Model Tweaks: Less acceleration and more drift - for a more realistic space flying feeling
Further changes will come in modular additional extensions. I do intend to keep things as modular as possible
