Tanksy’s Point Defense
This mod tweaks Point Defenses, turning them into turrets that have a much wider field of fire that can shoot over friendlies. It also armors them up to match a 1×1 armor part, including EMP resistance (However, they are still flammable).
As a result, they are slightly more expensive – costing 16 steel and 10 coils.
– Lifts the turret, giving it clearance.
– Gives it a 250 degree field of fire.
– Can still be shot over by friendly turrets.
– Armored up, EMP Resistant.
– Slightly more expensive.
At some point I may make them fire weak beams, as a lot of shots from a PD still miss their target – but I don’t want to make too many huge changes at once. This change on its own should improve a ship’s defences by being able to hammer more projectiles towards a missile, as more PD will be able to focus on it.
