Ships and Vehicles
-
- Ship health and armor balance pass. Ship health now correlates more closely with the size of a ship. All ships now have varying degrees of armor, with those ships more dedicated to combat being more heavily armored. Note from the designer: “This means the smaller ships like the M50, Aurora and Mustangs will not have much health relative to the larger ships. This is intended as we are trying to apply a proper scale of health to all the ships. Armour has been balanced around the ship’s function. The intent is to balance it so that a ship’s armour reduces energy damage more than physical damage. The exception is with Vanduul ships, which have their damage multipliers reversed.”
- Ursa Rover: Turned on interior auxillary lighting, reduced overall health.
- Gladiator: Added more interaction prompts for entry and made interacting with them easier.
