More realistic weapons
Mod that makes weapons a little more realistic.
Laser and particle weapons have a much shorter range, but they should be more powerful. (Possible adjustments.)
Magnetic weapons have a much longer range, higher muzzle velocity, and faster rate of fire, but they are more expensive per ammo, have less ammunition, and projectiles can still be shot down. (Same as https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3621747565 )
Classic weapons remain unchanged, but include three new PD systems based on magnetic weapons, one of which is essentially an improved 40mm cannon.
Plasma weapons also have a shorter range, but increased damage and salvo fire.
Rockets and torpedoes remain unchanged for now. (WIP)
Alien weapons are still more powerful than Earth weapons, especially lasers. Even the best Earth lasers cannot match alien lasers.
I am unable to test all the different combat variations and fleet compositions myself, so I would appreciate any feedback.
