Sarno’s Auxiliary Ship Parts
***UPDATED FOR 2.0.X****
Legacy 1.9.1 version is here http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1330030455
This is just a small mod, that currently adds new types of auxiliary components to the game.
I originaly tried to find some mod for my game that would add several new components without making everything overpowered and overgunned. Unfortunately I could not find any that would not break balance, so I decided to create my own.
As I said, it currently adds these new types of components:
Auxiliary armor plating
+ increases armor by percentage
+ increases hull points by percentage
– decreases ship combat speed
Shield hardeners
+ percentage bonus to shield HP and shield regen
– requires power
Targeting matrix
+ increases tracking and accuracy (basicaly a weaker version of enigmatic decoder)
– requires power
Power cells
+ increases speed, shield HP and regen and fire rate by a small amount
– increases maintenance
– bonuses are small and spread out
Auxiliary supply caches
+ reduces maintenance cost
– significantly increases ships build cost
Heat sinks
+ increase rate of fire
– high power usage
I will probably add other components in the future. Please let me know below in the comment section your positive or negative feedback and possible suggestions.
