Sorry for the long bit between delays, been pretty sick as of late on my end. Hopefully by this weekend the next patch for BTC will be out. It should include:
Finished reworking of remaining icons;
Fixing the remaining vanilla VE quest items to work with BTC;
Last of the NPC modifications with armor/hull changes for pirate cruisers and battlecruisers, traders, and aliens. (Alien balancing in particular will require some testing from the world)
Two new weapon types in the Experimental tree to make the SP cost worth it:
- Plasma Missiles: a smaller, more agile version of the plasma torpedo. Can empty the capacitor rapidly for burst damage, exceptional tracking, great versus corvettes but only marginally effective against frigates and useless against cruisers and structures.
- Cluster Cannon: an upscaled version of the flak cannon, the cluster cannon fires large slow-reloading canister rounds to saturate an area as opposed to the constant stream of explosives provided by the flak. The submunitions are actually powerful enough to damage both corvettes and frigates with ease, and the larger versions of this gun can even harry cruisers.
