- Ship weapons:
Mounted Weapon electricity and heat generation sees a noticeable change. Weapons now have more distinct differences between electricity used and heat generated. In general, all mounted weapons have very effective heat transfer rate to heat sinks. Using heat sinks to store and dissipate heat is key to keep all weapons cooled. Now different weapons have three archetypes between electricity and heat resource management for ships. Autocannons generate more waste heat per shot and require less electricity while Laser Cannons and Rail cannons are more heat efficient due to their nature but require far more electricity to operate. Plasma cannon is hybrid of both, requiring balanced amount of both electricity and heat dissipation.
- Autocannon
- Electricity per shot reduced from 330 to 94
- Heat generated per shot increased from 45 to 125
- Laser Cannon
- Electricity per shot increased from 400 to 440
- Heat generated per shot increased from 60 to 80
- Plasma Cannon
- Electricity per shot reduced from 2,500 to 2,000
- Heat generated per shot increased from 250 to 800
- Added a new "Ship weapons" PTU directory for crafting the following new items:
- 5-Tube Rocket Launcher
- Fixed High Explosive Missile
- Fixed High Explosive Dumbfire Torpedo
