Hello, here is a new update for ShipCrafter, and there are a lot of things to unpack here. Among the usual bug fixes, we added many features such as relaodable plane catapults, improved rigging tool, paintable modded planes, additional modding capabilites and more ! Let's get to it.
Multiplayer planes
All planes now fully work in multiplayer. Carrier battles are now possible in multiplayer lobbies as such. We also fixed a few bugs with planes, for example not returning to the carrier without a target selected.
Reloadable plane catapults
Sometimes one wants to be able to send many planes even without a large enough flight deck. This is now possible using a special crane available in weaponeries. The crane is capable to pickup any close enough plane and load it on empty catapults. A fixed catapult is also now available.
Additional rigging tool capabilities
Wiring on your ships previously had to be placed from an item to another, but could not be attached to other wirings. This is now a thing of the past, and wires can be placed on predisposed placements on existing wires.
New 152mm turret
We are adding the triple 152mm turret from the USS Cleveland cruisers. It is an excellent option for light cruisers thanks to its high damage per minute compared to its size.
More modding capabilities
We added many more modding features in this update :
possibility to have a fixed element with turrets, useful to make casemates
capability to make custom bombs, rockets, torpedos and missiles
turrets can now host rockets, torpedos and missiles
planes can now host bombs, rockets, torpedos and missiles
