Some tweaks arrived in v1.9 as a preparation for my next works.

Halved damage, delay, energy and heat of Military and Battle Cannons.
Doubled heat of Twin Artillery, Behemoth and Base Cannons.
Damages of Behemoth and Base Cannons are reduced a bit.
Many [wiki]BigShips[/wiki] are equipped with laser cannons (22 ship types).
Plasma weapons report when you placed an almost critical hit.
Plasma Vulcan Cannon renamed to Plasma Ray.
Support made for [wiki]Separated Lasers[/wiki] OXP.

In LaserCannons v1.11:
-Twin Artillery Cannon heat is halved so dmg/heat is increased from 2.5 to 5.
-Plasma Ray and Web has much less chance against larger ships to force an eject.
-Far Arm Titan got a Kruger Battle Artillery Cannon.

I skipped v1.10 to prevent mixing up with v1.1.

Trying to outfitting a cannons on the Falcon ship, but it has a low ship mass.

Check ship mass for other ships [lasercannons-conditions]:

Code: Select all

Ship mass: 214737.703125			//Cobra Mark III
Ship mass: 131037.2578125			//Monitor
Ship mass: 52291.8359375			//Cobra Mark I
Ship mass: 51203.43359375			//Moray Star Boat
Ship mass: 25087.619140625		//Sidewinder Scout Ship

Ship mass: 64274.76171875		//Falcon
Falcon has a large ship or not(>130t)?

Trying set of model_scale_factor to outfitting more powerful cannon:

Code: Select all

Ship mass: 490980.5				//Falcon 	"model_scale_factor" = 2.0
Ship mass: 211035.15625			//Falcon	"model_scale_factor" = 1.5	
Ship mass: 125296.984375		//Falcon	"model_scale_factor" = 1.25
What is the optimal model_scale_factor would be for its technical parameters?

Ships in Oolite usually 3.3 times larger than in other universes, this makes tricky to import foreign ships. The author of Millennium Falcon package already set it to 2 times larger than in origial else would be smaller than an Adder.

Imho this is a similar multirole ship than Cobra MkIII which achievable with another 1.5x upscale (3x than the original).
