changedTesting some balance changes regarding ships feel too fast and fighter-like complaints, and time to kill in the early game. - Reduced all ships' base combat speed by 25% to be closer to the speeds in BGVR1 - Increased small and medium weapon damage - Increased lancer beam damage - Adjusted ship blip orientation arrow to be more visible
addedreworked behavior settings for clearer control -- Move settings: (new) close = ship will get into weapons range if it has a target keep = ship will maintain the distance that you set hold = ship only moves when you tell it so
changed- Distance settings: Same as before, no change min = smallest weapon range equipped opt = range where the most weapons can fire max = the largest weapon range equipped
changed- Flank settings: Same as before no change, only works with Keep movement setting none = no behavior left, right, rear = will position the ship to the targets flank at the set distance
added- Orientation settings: (new) none = will orient towards nav point point = will always orient towards target shield = will always turn ship for strongest shield to face target
addedOther changes: added saftey to "restart last warp in" option when dying -- using this option now returns to the main menu to clear out the play space -- restored ships have at least 1hp, some were saving with zero making them not spawn when restarted removed holoblip ship pointer, obsolete with the orientation behavior settings
