REQUIRES (im not sure if it is required to do so but i still have to mention it just in case)
-new game start (updating to a new version doesnt require a new game start)

INCOMPATIBLE MODS
-incompatible with anything that changes vanilla player engines, weapons, shields

RS_Booster
Katana mod
Weapon Overhaul Project

GENERAL CHANGES

reduced the skunk's hull
100,000 -> 50,000

removed the ability to change the cockpit ingame
why? because currently theres an issue where whenever you buy a new cockpit in-game it is installed into the default cockpit position instead of the new offset position. to work around this i removed the feature ingame and instead added an optional file where you can choose which cockpit you want and simply redock to a nearby station to fix the issue

reduced the number of weapons you can equip
instead of having the ability to equip them all i changed it so you are limited to 2 weapons. making it look like a loadout mechanic where you can choose the 2 weapons that fits you the best.
from this to this


WEAPONS (vanilla -> tweaked)

PRIMARY WEAPONS

2GMk#-Vulcan Repeater Mk1/Mk2 NEW!
Based on the Particle Repeater Mk2, the 2nd Generation Repeater - Vulcan sacrifices a small part of its range, speed and damage output of the original repeater to increased its overall performance making it a more balanced variation. The Vulcan also adds additional guns to the ship to distribute its heat evenly, resulting in less heat build up.

range = 3685/3905
rate of fire = 80/90
dps = 6720/7920 (can deal direct damage to hull)

range = 2904/3069/3234
rate of fire = 12

heat = 1920/1920 -> 3520/3300
cooling = 1250 -> 2500
heat per sec = 670/670 -> 1020/800


Pulse Maser Mk3 tweaked

range = 3000 -> 5040
rate of fire = 3 -> 6
dps = 10500 -> 7440 (stacking damage over time & deals extra shield damage)

heat = 540 -> 3210
cooling = ?? -> 2500
heat per sec = ?? -> 710

good against capital sized ships, pointless against small ships
