[Greed] Point Defense Strings

Published on Thursday, August 10, 2023 By Volt_Cruelerz In Sins II Modding

Point Defense Strings

Changes

  • Point defense autocannons now fire in shorter, denser bursts to look more like real-life point defense weaponry and avoid the silliness of seeming to shoot down dead missiles.
  • Point defense weapons have also been disambiguated in the UI based on whether or not they can attack things larger than a strikecraft.
    • PD-A (Point Defense - Attack): these turrets can be used offensively to attack other ships, such as on the Garda.
    • PD-D (Point Defense - Defense): these turrets cannot be used offensively, such as those on the Sova.
