Mexpex Warfare Industries v1.1.7

Welcome to Mexpex Warfare Industries! Your end-all be-all of fine battleship weaponry!

Here you can find every one of Mexpex's extraordinary weapons, now balanced and updated to new standards, sounds, and effects with fixes and improvements in an all-in-one package!

Lot's of time, effort, and science has been committed to fix one of the most critical things we hear about these beautiful guns...their BALANCE and their survival readiness.

-----------

Here's the current full list of available weaponry in the pack.
They have new icons and a cleaned up G-Menu placement, amongst the balance changes.
Statistics on the new weapon behavior will be posted at a later date.

Magnetic Coil Cannon
X-3 Heavy Cannon
MK3 Battlecannon
MK2 Battlecannon
MK1 Battlecannon
Heavy Defense Turret
Telion Dual / Octa Battery
MK1 Battery / Small MK1 Battery <--- Previously "Static Cannon"
Telion Flak Turret <--- Previously "Anti-Fighter"
Telion Anti-Fighter Turret <-- Previously "Anti-Fighter Gen 2"
Telion Anti-Missile Turret

The only turret which will not be replaced is the MK3 AP, as now the AP is handled by loading AP ammo, not by a separate turret entry. *See AMMO

-----------

Mexpex Warefare Industries now maintains a new standard of weapon caliburs to help maintain cohesion with the vanilla weapons and even further, real life battlecannons. Those who know their naval combat may notice a couple easter eggs.

Ammo selection and information is now handled by Ammo Management Controls by Meridius_IX
This mod has been added as a dependency and as of 1.187 dependencies are now handled by the game!

You may also still use a programmable block script like TIM to manage your ammunitions.
Subtypes for managing with TIM or other scripts, without quotations
"EMSlug460mm"
"HEShell460mm"
"HEShell420mm"
"HEShell406mm" | "APShell406mm"

Raw Damage Calculations[docs.google.com]
This excel has multiple sheets but for now only the raw damage is shown while I continue to work on the updates.

It should give those curious a rough idea of the new behavior and balance, however there is no in-sheet comparison against the old values.

We are very open to feedback and in fact, it's necessary!
Please let us know of any issues regarding survival or anything else you encounter in the forum below!

----------
- To Mexpex for his amazing work and permissions to release this compendium, you're the best
- To Digi for his great scripts
- To my friend Superanchors, who made the new sounds....

----------
- (1.187) Vanilla bug - Impulse from MWI weapons is very high (hardcoded and unfixable with scripts, reported to Keen) (1.190) Improved but still hardcoded
- (1.187) Realistic sounds are not working on most cannons, looking into it but it looks like it might be a problem with the audio engine. Realistic sounds are under experimental and who knows how much Keen has broken. Fixed
- Small ship Flak turret has large ship construction stages
- Small ship Flak turret conveyor can't transport ammo in survival


Due to this rebalancing, some subtypes were changed.
So while the "blocks" will be backward compatible, your ammo in survival will need to be reproduced if you are coming from the old standalone Mexpex editions.
