If there’s a Weapon Rebalance Program, where’s the Satellite Rebalance Program?

Is it necessary?

I absolutely love the changes to Ion Blaster and I’m really happy that IA liked Galbatorix’s proposed changes exactly as they are (EDIT: To clarify I meant DPS-wise). The big projectiles took me by surprise, too, but unlike other players I actually liked them immediately because they were good at destroying objects like U.F.Os (not to be mistaken with U.C.O.).
I’m really curious to see what weapon IA is gonna tackle next. Maybe the one(s) from Part 2? (Saying that because I can’t recall which ones they were, most likely Utensil and Neutrons).
Also has anyone tested the new spacecraft hitboxes? Could they make a comparison image where the old ones and the new ones are shown side by side?

Oh, cool - so it’s currently very close to the non-WBP Neutron Gun then.
This. Satellites are pretty fine as they are - and their nature as augments that can be equipped in multiple slots and distributed randomly by (literally) loot crates flying through space means that making them perfectly equal isn’t as necessary because people will still have ample opportunity to use them all.
I was crashing a lot in my H&C Scout earlier today - so it might be bigger.
Watch it actually be smaller and I’m just doing bad lol

That being said, I think there’s one satellite that could be buffed a bit, which is microgun. Although it deals the most damage(against a single target), it doesn’t perform that well because it has no aoe and it also can’t really remove projectiles or anything. Maybe if ammo was significantly increased, I dunno.That would require more thought, this was just the first thing that came to my mind

I think keys and chickens with a key aura should be glowing in darkness missions(Yes physically)
Hmm, how about several HUD color templates besides the default one? More specifically, a few slots where you can save a bunch of colored HUDs so it takes a lot less effort and a lot fewer keys to waste to change the color, or purchasing a colored HUD slot for a certain amount of keys. With that, there should be a “replace” function as well just in case you don’t have any other slots or you don’t like a certain HUD slot, or just a “delete” function. It might be a bit too ambitious but I’ll wait.
Or a separate HUD color for every ship.
What about M 404-Pl ?
Legendary ships currently give no extra benefit over their original counterparts, so I thought giving them smaller hitboxes might be a worthwhile advantage without breaking balance. Thus:
- Regular Spacecraft: 100% hitbox
- Uncommon Spacecraft: 97% hitbox
- Rare Spacecraft: 94% hitbox
- Legendary Spacecraft: 91% hitbox

(yay I have a legendary spacecraft) Finally another improvement for rare spacecrafts other than weight. And possibly spacecraft upgrades?
Interesting fact: i can’t find Mysterious Ship
Interesting fact: I met 6 of them today and they totally rekt me
There is something strange about Utensil Poker and Neutron Gun(when the spacecraft rotates horizontally:
Please give me a satisfactory answer, thanks
Look at your spacecraft when you tilt up and shot

I can think of another change but this one’ll apply only to the BX family, so why not give the legendary ships more speed.
- Regular Bomber: 100% speed
- Uncommon Bomber: 110% speed
- Rare Bomber: 125% speed
- Legendary Bomber: 145% speed
The numerical figures might need to be readjusted because it might be possible that a Legendary BX-6 with all 10 Maneuvering Jets equipped would be faster than the regular ships.

Hmmm ok. Forget about that bug, I’ve got ideas instead. I know these topics are closed but I wanted your opinion about 'em:
Oh and also, I feel as if 9 slots for a squadron aren’t enough imo, At least not for such a big community.
I tested it and the M408 seems to be somewhat better now
As for the exact (?) data, here are the approximate diameters of those hitboxes in pixels (at 1080p resolution):
Old M400: 90px
Old M408: 105px
M400: 81px
M404-PI: 90px
M408: 99px
