Zero-K v1.6.3.5 - Sea and Rogue Fix

Thread

The most noticeable features of this versions is a balance pass for sea and a fix for the Rogue buff. The projectile speed buff for Rogue was accidentally not applied due to a bug. This has been fixed. We've also made other fixes and balance changes, including engine stability fixes that are not listed here.

Balance

Shogun:

Cost 4K -> 5K
HP 12K -> 8K
Reload time 10s -> 15s (DPS 450 -> 300)

Corsair:

Cost 220 -> 240
Speed 3.2 -> 2.7
Damage 512 -> 234
Reduced spray angle and projectiles per shot.
Reload time (for each shotgun) 2.4s -> 2.0s

The weapon changes make its shotgun the same as that of a Scallop.

Cutter:

Slightly increased size.
Reload time 1.5s -> 2.0s
Range 330 -> 260
Damage 34 -> 35

Hunter:

Increased model and collision size by a bit less than 50%.

Mistral:

Damage 280 -> 200 per rocket.

Siren:

Health 4000 -> 3750

Envoy:

Health 2500 -> 2000

Rogue:

Fixed the bug that prevented the projectile speed buff from 170 -> 200 taking effect.
Health 570 -> 580

Glaive:

Speed 3.9 -> 3.85

Note that Glaive had 3.8 speed and cost 65 metal this time last year.

Increased Gremlin DPS by 5.4%.

Tarantula buff:

Cost 400 -> 380.
Damage 220 -> 260.
Projectile velocity increased 22%.

It has much less DPS/cost than Vandal so the change is probably safe.

Phoenix:

Health 650 -> 720
Possibly increased the spray angle of its bombs.

Early Engineer commander nerfs:

Level 1 buildpower 12 -> 10. Other levels are unchanged so you now consistently gain 2 BP per level up to 20.
Build range 250 -> 220 but with a bonus of +12 per level up to a maximum of 280.

Other commanders:

Build range 128 -> 144

Sight range buffs:

Dirtbag 300 -> 350
Mason 255 -> 273
Welder 280 -> 300

Added overkill prevention for Stinger and Grizzly.
