The Firebrand

Ahhh the firebrand. My first experiment with both an air, and multi-turreted unit. It only gets crazier from here yall.

TLDR: Two double missile turret mounts, plus a pewpew sustained laser make enemy go boom.

Stats:
Beam Damage: 5 per tic, dozens of tics per second. Somehow this is balanced?

Missile Damage: 10x4, fired every 0.33 seconds. Four missiles fired per salvo, from two seperate turrets. (Four technically but we'll get to that)

Range: 200 (Havent figured out how to make the beam shorter range yet. If I do, I'll update the mod to have a higher
dps beam, at a much shorter range)

Can target: Air and ground units.

Speed: Average

Health: 250 (+ Slow regen rate)

Shield: 500

Cost: 1800

Built from: Air factory tier 2.

DEV INFO for those curious: This unit is priced to counter small groups of heavy interceptors, and proves easily able to destroy them so long as it is micromanaged well. It shreds most tier 1 aircraft and ground units from testing, and has undergone probably a dozen major changes to balance before it was released, from fire rate, to health, shielding, damage per shot, and even the extra missiles. It took multiple days of testing, editing code, and even adding additional invisible missile turrets to truly get the full effect. In order to get it to fire four missiles at once, it has four seperate turrets, plus the beam turret. Three visible, as the sprites you see on the wings and middle section, and two invisible, which fire the extra rockets. There's probably a more efficient way to do this, but as I'm still learning to work with the code and f-ck with the values. Mind you I've had next to 0 coding expirience in the past, and only started learning a few days back at the time of posting. If any other modders see this and have any advice, shoot me a message or leave a comment n stuff yeah? I'm always happy to learn tips n tricks.

Reguardless, thanks for checking this mod out, I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it, and that you have a great day ^-^
