No LAMS / Shields / Jamming
"Silence of the L.A.M.S."
Designs can no longer cheaply throw infinite resources & energy into "Perfect" defense systems such as anti-munition lasers or shield projectors. Placing a higher emphasis on armor, missile decoys/interceptors, and point-defense systems.
I didn’t as much want to include decoys & jammers into this, but as the shallow missile & AI detection system does not give any effective methods of dealing with them (signal processors are ineffective for missiles, and AI has nothing) I decided to anyways.
– (All affected blocks’ costs are reduced to 1)
– Jammers, Chaff Dispensers, Smoke Dispensers
– Heat Decoys, Radar Decoys
– Laser Anti-Missile Emitter
– Shield Generator, Shield Projector
Ideally I would have just rebalanced the effectiveness of these countermeasures and their energy/resource usage, however due to that not being possible I’m just removing them entirely. This is primarily due to the fact that AI’s material and power restrictions in campaign allows designs to spam them constantly where as a player construction is not able to viably.
Smash the enter key to skip the error that for some reason appears and the mod just functions perfectly anyways. The modding API is pretty bad as you’re probably aware if you’ve been on the workshop for more than 5 seconds, if anyone knows another working way to do reversible block overrides that doesn’t give false errors on startup let me know how.
