Discharge Core-Tech

" From weapons, to armor, Highly advanced, highly expensive, from simple to needing tech tree progress. All in one" - Kreeg.

#### Update: Oct 31th - Nov 1st , 2017 PC Survival Updates 1 & 2 - PC's Tier system now available for construction fully. - Icons for all PC Components. - Ammo for PC may now be built in PC Assemblers. - Check Change-log for full specifics.

I am always open to Combat-Data, related to balance between weapons & armor from standard & mod itself. --- When using EC & PC Thrusters, I suggest a Speed mod to really feel the differences. Also so you can properly enjoy the Booster-type Engine variants. 100m/s isn't much for a fighter with them.

Now, what does this mod 'do'? This Mods, adds or plans to add three branches of technology, The first, I refer to as NE (Neutral), provides more advanced weaponry to ships using mostly stock parts. These are the first weapons, you can make with this mod; And very helpful to have when engaging the rest.

================================================================

The Two other branches are EC (Energized Crystalite), and PC (Polarized Crystalite). Crystalite, is the base material used in both branches, and is not found, but manufactured slowly by advanced machinery. It is the raw material used in the creation of all manner of additional materials, components, ammunitions, and more.

================================================================

EC Technology is light-weight, specialized, long ranged but fragile & highly expensive. Their primary weapon types involve Projector , Plasma, Particle, Hybrid. (Projector generally covers Beam weapons, Hybrid is special weaponry)

================================================================

PC Technology, is heavy, generally universal, and durable. Their weapon systems usually lack the range, but have remarkable reload, and cost effiency on ammunitions. Their primary weapon types involve Reflex-Core, Reaction-Core, Mass-Driver, Acceleration-Rail, Oracle. (Kinetic, Explosive, Heavy-Kinetic, High-Speed Explosive or Kinetic)

================================================================

Strain Technology, IE Hybrid technology will be introduced later for EC, the present Gauss Lance is hybrid technology. Oracle Technology, mirrors this, but is for PC instead. No available weaponry is of the Oracle type.

================================================================

Now, for easy identification as well as simplicity, many of the weapons (mostly EC) use specific colors for their beams or projectiles.

-------------

EC technology, Pinkish-red for Projector Systems (Baseline weaponry) Orange for Plasma Technology (Specialized Close-Range Weaponry, Infantry, Interior) Cyan-Teal for Particle Technology (Highly Advanced Weaponry) Green for Gauss \ Hybrid Technology. (Rare Weaponry)

---------------

PC technology, uses Blue for most Weaponry. Grey for Mass-Driver technology. White \ Yellow for Oracle Technology.
