New update: Dropship weapons and engine attachments, Correspondent televisions, AMR and aimed shot, flags
🕑 Added 2025-04-07 07:01:34 +0000 UTCDropship LAU-444 guided missile launcher, LWU-6B laser cannon, fuel enhancer, and cooling system
More CAS weapons are finally here! Including ones that you actually have to fear, as both a xeno and marine, and bringing the rivalry of the Normandy getting angry at the Alamo if they print too many weapons or modules with the limited amount of points that the part fabricator gets without intel.
The LAU-444 guided missile launcher (which can only be shot in fly-bys, not in transit) fires expensive single-shot but very dangerous rockets, currently having 3 options:
The AIM-224B 'Widowmaker', with a large blast radius and a 3 second travel time. It costs 300 points to print.
The GBU-67 'Keeper II', with a small but concentrated blast radius and a 2 second travel time. It costs 300 points to print.
The AGM-99 'Napalm', with a large blast radius, spawning fire in a 7x7 radius second travel time and a 6 second travel time. It costs 500 points to print.
All rockets have a 3 tile inaccuracy.
The LWU-6B laser cannon (which can be shot in both fly-bys and transit) randomly covers a 7x7 area with 16 total fires with very point-efficient ammo.
These fires have a very short duration but very high intensity.
It can be shot 10 total times before having to reload.
Its ammo costs 200 points to print.
It has 1 second travel time, the shortest of any CAS weapon.
It has a 1 tile inaccuracy.
The fuel enhancer and cooling system have also been added, which can be attached to the engine attachment points (south of the wing weapon points).
The fuel enhancer reduces travel time by 25% and increases flyby time by 25%, and the cooling system reduces refuel time by 50% (both stack with diminishing returns).
Piloting skill 2 (Dropship/Gunship pilots and ASO) now also correctly reduces dropship refuel time by 25% (120s > 90s)
Buildable televisions and Correspondent camera broadcast
Televisions can now be built using a television circuit board, which will give a live view of the Correspondents' camera.
Four circuit boards can be found in the circuit board vendor, now mapped into first floor engineering.
This update also makes a few tweaks to construction, deconstruction, and general engineering:
Fixed CE, MT, and OT armor not having extra bio and explosion armor.
Fixed windows taking 4 seconds to deconstruct instead of being instant, and missing 1 screwing step (Screwdriver, Wrench, Screwdriver).
Fixed some crates not droppping 2 wooden planks when crowbared.
Fixed not being able to craft wooden floors with wooden planks.
Fixed reinforced tables missing a welding step for deconstruction.
Fixed tool sounds not playing for instant construction steps.
Fixed lathes not using the item's size for how long it takes to print. It now takes 2 seconds for tiny and small items, 3 for medium, 4 for large, and 5 for huge.
Fixed lathes not having a max print cap of 6.
Fixed autolathes being unanchorable and moved.
Fixed OB fuel being covered up by racks.
Fixed gun cases not being able to be unfolded into 1 plastic.
Fixed the tool storage machine not having light replacers and having incorrect amounts of other tools.
Fixed crowbars prying tiles not being instant.
Fixed metal floor tiles, table parts, rack parts, and metal rods not being able to be inserted into an autolathe to recycle them into metal.
Fixed reinforced tables taking 4 metal to print instead of 5.
Shotgun fixes, interact with other hand keybind, and click to eject magazines
The spread of multiple shotgun ammo types has been fixed:
Fixed flechette spread being 2.5x higher than intended.
Fixed buckshot spread being 1.33x higher than intended.
Fixed breaching spread being 2x higher than intended.
Fixed incendiary buckshot spread being 1.33x higher than intended.
The MOU53 now also has its correct firerate, which is 2 times higher than its current firerate (2 > 4).
There is also now a keybind for interact with other hand, bound to C by default. This lets you quickly insert shells into a shotgun on your other hand, and do other hand interactions such as transferring reagents between containers.
Clicking on a gun held on your hand with another empty hand will now also eject its magazine if it has one inside, instead of moving it to the other hand. Pressing C with your empty hand selected will also do the same.
This also fixes being able to juggle pump shotguns to bypass their shared fire delay. This doesn't affect the underbarrel shotgun or the MOU53.
Specialist Sniper aimed shot and new AMR specialist kit
By Dygon Sniper specialist changes:
Their rifle can now be used to perform aimed shots, projectiles fired with an aimed shot will have additional effects. The bullet fired by it will chase its target to ensure that it hits. Sniper ammo no longer has its placeholder 2x damage modifier.
Their loadouts now also include a spotter kit, which contains the gear needed to transform any rifleman into a fully-fledged spotter.
Flak ammo has been implemented, which deals 55 damage against the hit target, 55 (110 for xenonids) to entities in a 1 tile radius, and half of that to any entities in a 2 tile radius.
Flak's aimed shot does either the basic effect if it hits any entity that's not the target, or deals 110 damage and superslows the target.
Incendiary ammo now does 60 damage and has double the fire intensity compared to what it had before this PR.
Incendiary's aimed shot gives the hit target an additional 10 firestacks and slightly blurs their screen for a few seconds.
All projectiles shot using aimed shot are homing.
Aimed shot has a base aim time of 1.25 seconds, this is increased by 0.05 seconds per tile of distance to the target.
Aimed shot has a cooldown of 2.5 seconds, this cooldown starts the moment you start aiming. If the sniper laser is turned on, the aim time is multiplied by 0.6; if the target is spotted, the aim time is multiplied by 0.5; and if both, the aim time is multiplied by 0.35.
This update includes a new type of specialist: the heavy sniper weapons specialist.
They get the XM43E1 anti-materiel rifle from their vendor. This rifle fires projectiles powerful enough to penetrate any obstacle in its path.
Marksman ammo's normal shot deals 125 damage with 75 AP.
Ammo penetrates entities,damage and range is reduced with every entity hit:
Any soft target the same size or smaller than a T2 xenonid multiplies the projectile damage by 0.8 and reduces the range by 3 tiles per hit.
T3 xenonids multiply the projectile damage by 0.6 and reduce the range by 6 tiles per hit.
Walls and other obstacles multiply the projectile damage by 0.4 and reduce the range by 9 tiles per hit.
An aimed shot using the XM43E1 will get a different effect based on what type of target is hit on top of the base projectile damage:
Anything smaller than a T1 xenonid will take 80% of the original damage as additional damage.
Anything the size of a T1 xenonid will take 60% of the original damage dealt and 10% of their current health as additional damage.
Anything the size of a T2 xenonid will take 20% of the original damage and 20% of their current health as additional damage.
Anything the size of a T3 xenonid will take no bonus damage from the projectile, but will take 30% of their current health as bonus damage.
Anything the size of a T3 xenonid will take no bonus damage from the projectile, but will take 30% of their current health as bonus damage.
All bonus damage will be multiplied by 0.5 on the first shot, 0.75 on the second shot on the same target and 1.0(so no reduction) on the third shot on the same target. Using an aimed shot on a different target will reset this streak.
All projectiles shot using aimed shot are homing.
Aimed shot has a base aim time of 2 seconds, this is increased by 0.05 seconds per tile of distance to the target.
Aimed shot has a cooldown of 4.5 seconds, this cooldown starts the moment you start aiming.
Plantable UN and UNMC flags
These are located in the top and bottom CIC armories, can be carried into battle, and planted with Z.
SL/Command/Hive Leader message visibility
By to4no_fix
Squad and hive leaders speech in chat bubbles is now bold and significantly larger for better visibility. All heads of department headsets, SLs, and officers significantly increase the size of text in the radio, the headset of the fireteam leader also increases the text, but slightly less.
Dragging changes
The last of the tackle/dragging mechanics have been ported, making it so:
Xenos can now drag a stage 2 infected marine, even if they are dead (by Verm).
If a crit marine is dragged by a xeno, they will quickly take damage until they die, stopping the pull.
Attempting to devour a crit marine will also instantly kill them and cancel the devour.
