Adds tech shells to the outpost market, recipe rebalance and buffs
About The Pull Request
Adds unloaded techshells to the outpost market, 7 shells for 175 credits.
Recipe changes
- Scatter Laser: 1 Adv Capacitor, 1 Adv Microlaser -> 1 Capacitor, 3 Microlaser, 1 power cell, 5u lithium
- Pulse Slug: 2 Adv Capacitor, 1 Ultra Microlaser -> 3 Capacitor, 1 Microlaser, 1 power cell, 5u lithium
- Scatter Ion: 1 Ansible Crystal, 1 Ultra Microlaser -> 2 Capacitor, 2 Microlaser, 1 scanning module, 5u iron, 5u uranium
- Dragonsbreath : 5u phosphorous -> 10u phosphorous
Changes the scatter ion desc to reflect the new recipe.
Ammo changes
Scatter laser and ion now fires 8 pellets, instead of 4, variance is 25 from 35 Dragonsbreath now fires 8 pellets instead of 4, deals 8 damage up from 5, variance is 45 from 35.
Why It's Good For The Game
These techshells were pretty underwhelming for what they were, and pretty heavily gated behind RND. For all the effort of researching and printing techshells with scatter lasers for example, you'd get a 60 damage shell on par with an improvised buckshot you made with scrap.
These changes should make them more comparable with standard ammunition and not so reliant on needing RND. I think techshells are pretty interesting and adds a versatile combat option.
