All clan lasers that previously lost their maximum range have had it restored to double their optimal range.
IS Small Laser range increased to 180m optimal and 360 maximum.
IS Small Laser heat reduced to 1.5.
IS Small Pulse Laser range increased to 150m optimal and 300 maximum.
Clan Small Laser heat reduced to 2.
Clan Small Pulse Laser duration reduced to .5 seconds.
Clan Medium Pulse Laser duration reduced to .6 seconds.
Clan Medium Pulse Laser heat reduced to 5.
Clan ER-Large Laser duration reduced to 1.25 seconds.
Clan ER-Large Laser heat reduced to 9.
Clan Large Pulse Laser duration reduced to .67 seconds.
Clan Large Pulse Laser heat reduced to 9.
PPC, ER PPC and C-ER PPC velocity increased by 5%.
Placeholder Clan ACs are now single shot. No further changes are necessary.
LBX spread reduced by 30%.
Autocannon, Ultra Autocannon and Autocannon-LBX velocity increased by 20%.
LRM velocity increased to 2,000 M/S.
LRM spread normalized across all launchers and reduced to 1m.
LRM heat reduced by 2 for every launcher.
LRM ammo increased to 400 per ton.
Heat Scale has been removed.
Heat Scale II has been implemented! Rejoice!
Heat Scale II will affect every weapon equally. A small laser will draw the same power as an AC/20, for instance.
Heat Scale II will work similarly to MASC. You have a maximum second heat capacity of 40 but going above 10 will incur but are not limited to the following penalties; reticle shake, internal damage, mild death, ammo explosions, cockpit monitors will be permanently reset to auto detect:no, and more!
To balance Standard and IS-XL engines we've implemented a new mechanic! Oil Changing! For every 80,000 KM travelled you'll be required to change out the oil and perform a routine check-up. XL engines require more frequent check-ups and are more costly to repair when something inevitably goes wrong.
That's about all I could find. Happy April First everyone!
