Sea and Rogue Fix

Forum thread Zero-K v1.6.3.5 - Sea and Rogue Fix

The most noticeable features of this versions is a balance pass for sea and a fix for the Rogue buff. The projectile speed buff for Rogue was accidentally not applied due to a bug. This has been fixed. We've also made other fixes and balance changes, including engine stability fixes that are not listed here.

Balance

Shogun:

• Cost 4K → 5K
• HP 12K → 8K
• Reload time 10s → 15s (DPS 450 → 300)

Corsair:

• Cost 220 → 240
• Speed 3.2 → 2.7
• Damage 512 → 234
• Reduced spray angle and projectiles per shot.
• Reload time (for each shotgun) 2.4s → 2.0s

The weapon changes make its shotgun the same as that of a Scallop.

Cutter:

• Slightly increased size.
• Reload time 1.5s → 2.0s
• Range 330 → 260
• Damage 34 → 35

Hunter:

• Increased model and collision size by a bit less than 50%.

Mistral:

• Damage 280 → 200 per rocket.

Siren:

• Health 4000 → 3750

Envoy:

• Health 2500 → 2000

Rogue:

• Fixed the bug that prevented the projectile speed buff from 170 → 200 taking effect.
• Health 570 → 580

Glaive:

• Speed 3.9 → 3.85

Note that Glaive had 3.8 speed and cost 65 metal this time last year.

Increased Gremlin DPS by 5.4%.

Tarantula buff:

• Cost 400 → 380.
• Damage 220 → 260.
• Projectile velocity increased 22%.

It has much less DPS/cost than Vandal so the change is probably safe.

Phoenix:

• Health 650 → 720
• Possibly increased the spray angle of its bombs.

Early Engineer commander nerfs:

• Level 1 buildpower 12 → 10. Other levels are unchanged so you now consistently gain 2 BP per level up to 20.
• Build range 250 → 220 but with a bonus of +12 per level up to a maximum of 280.

Other commanders:

• Build range 128 → 144

Sight range buffs:

• Dirtbag 300 → 350
• Mason 255 → 273
• Welder 280 → 300

Added overkill prevention for Stinger and Grizzly.
