v1.7.0.1 Experimental
Crew Characters Rework
- Crew now rely on specific numbered attributes than just traits for their performance. Traits are given at a lower rate.
- Added gun sway effects. Avoid low "Hand-Eye Coordination" characters and level gunners to reduce these effects.
- Added bonus effects to boat and crew for category sum of veterancies.
- Character leveling adjustments. Gunners no longer get XP depending on score of the target but instead a flat rate per tagged kill. This XP is tripled for air kills.
- Characters are no longer given traits for challenge levels, they are generated with equal attributes.
- Rewrote the overboard mechanic to rely on the "Resilience" stat. Gunners have halved chance and the person manning the wheel has a quartered chance proceed with a rolled overboard trigger. Traits (like featherlike/cowboy) are currently disconnected from the overboard mechanic.
General
- Adjustment to boat handling direction swap when boat reverses.
