One question though, what about all the ships that already have multiple Makkar stacked on them?

I'm writing some code that will check to see if a ship has duplicates of the same unique and just removes them and deposits it in the garage storage. This is why that particular change is taking so long

if you do that will it cost us credits when that script takes effect, the buying to remove prices i mean or will it be free

I would make it so it removes the enhancement from the ship and places it in the garage. It would be a "free" removal, in essence.

What if your garage and cargo are full?

Some new changes are going in. They are as follows:
UGTO Standard Armor:
Health: 39596 * (13,200) -> 40,000 * (13,000 * level)
Repair rate: 142 -> 120
UGTO Ablative Armor:
Health: 38,554 + (12,853 * level) -> 38,000 + (12,000 * level)
UGTO Reflective Armor:
Health: 39,000 + (11,500 * level) -> 38,000 + (12000 * level)
ICC Composite Armor:
Health: 36,250 + (10,792 * level) -> 36,250 + (11,000 * level)
ICC Aux Shields:
Health: 30,000 + (6,000 * level) -> 40,000 + (6,000 * level)
Note: I do not know what I want to do with ICC Aux shields yet.
ICC Skirmish Shields:
Energy Drain while recharging: .14 -> .12 per second
K'luth Chitin Armor:
Health: 35,000 + (19,500 * level) -> 35000 + (10,000 * level)
Special: Mass penality is increased by 50% compared to normal armors. Adds 2 signature
Chitin Armor is now replacable with Organic Armor and vice versa. AHR is no longer swappable with Chitin Armor and vice versa
I will update the main post when these changes are pushed into beta

i suggest making aux shield like an enhancement when you get only device and it add 1/4 of its health to all shield arcs or make it so it increases resistances and regen by amount

UGTO - Can now replace their Proton Torpedoes with Ion Torpedoes, which don't do quite as much damage but have a slightly better range and more importantly, a rudimentry tracking capability!
So, I didnt see that the other factions get tracking torps. Is this another UGTO only buff?

If aux shields were full arc and they'd be pretty well perfect.

Of course, they need something so their EADs and Command Dreads can combat smaller ships from a distance since point jumping is so unreliable.

kluth armor has the lowest repair rate as far as i can see...(i see bit bad cuz i work night shifts)
i suppose it due to the ahr...? still it would be good to know what are repair rates with ahr then?
just wondering...

Well, AHR appears to provide a repair rate somewhere between UGTO armor and ICC shields.
The fact they also repair hull is pretty significant, since its percentage based, a scout repairs just as quickly as a dread.

This is proabably a redundant question, but do the new Sabot rockets for ICC have splash damage? just curious

Try and keep other questions not related to the engine/defense changes out of the thread, please.
These changes have been pushed into beta already, and they need testing badly

Please check if my comprehension is correct.
The mass from a Chitin gadget on Siphon will add: ( 35000 + 10000 * 7 ) / 125000 = 0.84
Since Chitin doubles mass penality, it will add 0.84 x 2 = 1.68 to the mass. Right?
Each Chitin gadget adds 2signature to the ship, doesn't it?
I'll join beta later.

Close. Theirs a hidden modifier used for ship hulls and your actual calculations are
(1.4 * (35,000 + (10,000*7))) / 62,500 = 2.325 additional mass compared to normally 1.17~ ish
Currently theirs some issues with getting organic armor to upgrade to chit armor and shields upgrading to skirmish shields. When they're fixed I'll make a post
