[X3LU]My personal tweaks for LU combat

Post by scuderica8492 »

I'm not native English speaker so plz don't expect good grammar.

While I really enjoy Litcube's Universe, but also I feel small to medium sized combat in LU is something not my taste.
And, I really love combat to be more dynamic, and demands player skills.
So I made some small tweaks to LU ships, and Lasers.

Tweaks to Ships value:
1.All M3 to M5 fighters, except Miner valiant, increased Max speed around 100 to 20, depends on previous max speed. Slower fighters got more speed.
(e.g., Argon M3 Nova has maxspeed 150m/s in vanilla LU, now it is 250m/s )

Tweaks to Weapons value:
1.All lasers doubled Rate of Fire.
also made half energy usage per shot and damage per shot. So basically it has same Damage per Second and Energy Per second compared to vanilla LU.

2.All laser projectile speed decreased. Values are depends on each laser. faster lasers reduced speed greatly, already slower lasers has more smaller changes.
(e.g., IRE projectile flies in 2865m/s in vanilla LU, now it is 1423m/s. CIG projectile flies in 956m/s, now it is 647m/s )

I myself now playing X3LU with these tweaks, and I feel combat is somewhat different now. You can actually dodge enemy fire, and dogfight is more speedy. And you can even enjoy watching many pew-pew lasers dance in your monitor. its good candy for the eyes.

Note: I know these tweaks are maybe bad for performance to do in-sector combat. but I don't care. I tend to avoid larger combat in my roleplay, like, 50 M2s and 70 M7s firing in the same sector to hundreds OCV. so performance hit is fairly acceptable.

Mod Download

How to install: Just extract file and put cat dat into your addon folder. Don't forget rename it to highest Number compared to vanilla LU cat dat files.

This is my first mod. plz tell me if you have something to say.

Cool mod, I did something similar similar but for LU+Mayhem, it feels much better now.
LU really feels a bit slow.
