About the PR

Adds inherent Mass Scanner to Space Snails (specifically the ones that can move in space).
Buffs Mech mounted laser weapons across the board.
Adds a Mech-mounted Pulse Rifle to the TSF Uplinks.
Tweaks and fixes the TSF Engineer's Volta Modsuit to have more engineer-relevant stats and actually functional magboots.

Why / Balance

The Snails now know where you live.

Mech Mounted Lasers were very bad, these changes should make them a competing alternative for the AC-2. Specifically;
-Firedart is now equivalent to a Laser Rifle.
-Solaris is now equivalent to a Laser Cannon.
-ZFI is now equivalent to an Xray Cannon.

Their firing costs have also been adjusted.

TSF pulse rifle dominance continues unhindered, except that buying them is still restricted to FTL+. As it's identical to a Pulse Rifle except it can't be used handheld and is instead used in a mech, it also costs 100 FMC. (If someone sprites a PDV mech minigun I will add that too).

TSF Volta was lightly yamlfucked, its magboots now properly turn on/off using an Action. Its stats have been tweaked to be comparable to the Sapper Modsuit it's supposedly based on.

Changelog

🆑

  • add: Space Snails now know where you are at all times.

  • add: TSF now have a Mech Pulse Rifle in their uplink, as always, restricted to FTL+
  • tweak: TSF Volta modsuit has been redesigned for comfort and utility... It is moderately more frangible.
