Title:Kinetics nerf
Body:
Sorry, it is too good. Best to curb it sooner rather than later. The hits are brutal and the defenses are simply not on par - nor are other weapons. Launchers with crit chance rather than defense and hard hitting rounds cause brutal imbalanced hits, so adjusted down.

Title:Phase shift and cloak
Body:
After testing these abilities: I see they are far too strong to be at 3 and 10 seconds. The new time for them is 1 and 3 seconds for activate cloak. They are still extra special skills and while cloaked a ship may still fire on an enemy.

Title:Ship combat position now IMPORTANT.
Body:
A player may evenly split with the sword and shield power between all systems for balanced combat. If someone is tanking for you or you are under hunting you may risk all power to weapons. If you are venturing into new space, or a unknown wormhole - or tanking for a group, use defensive the green shield. This adds a level of player skill and detail to all elements of combat and circumstances.

The cost is 1 million silvers per tier at any tier, some bases are worth working up 7 ranks because they are the best for a certain build. This will be up to the players to sus out.

Title:Attack speeds
Body:
Every single captain role/ship and each rank of every ship was carefully examined and a scaling attack speed was applied to each one to match the role they perform and expected objectives.

Title:Mining lasers
Body:
All mining lasers are now equal to ship tier of the industrial line. You must be at minimum an industrial ship to use them, to use rank two you must be a tier two industrial ship - this rank two is the medium sized AREA laser. Tier three ships are able to use the very large area miners, this would be both the mining side and ship/component builder side - extreme industrialist. This brings balance to income, growth and development with counterpart vocation/roles.

Title:Lasers Energy use
Body:
Lasers/Aux combat are the 2nd most powerful compared to the best kinetics. However AUX is a range 1 and lasers vary from shirt to long range. The energy of lasers was set as placeholder numbers and not scaling, this means that only short-range were accurately charge and medium/large were not costing enough. This has been fixed and they are now scaling per tank in the order of short-1,med-2,long-3 per I rank of the laser. This brings validty to this systems design as well as allows for AUX combat to not be invalid but rather a legitimate competition to the expensive laser energy for that range.

Title:Armor
Body:
Armor is no longer a flat 1 on non armor based items, rather all items will gain an armor point per tier I-XX and hard armor items roughly double that depending. Like anyone stacking any single stat items for a specific build now players can do the same with armor and still have a couple drop offs into other items for some regen or other things and still have very hard armor.

Title:Core system update
Body:
Ingots,Components,Ship upgrades I-V,Pods,Ship tier upgrades are now in logistics captains for buying and selling with a 50% split on b/s to leave the 75% range for player trades and profit between one another. This is a major core system change and no longer traps anyone into playing anything they do not want to while generating paths forward for everyone on terms they may find more acceptable. Those who fabricate can find advantage in creation and selling for better than the cost the shop has it for with the 50/100 split. Hope this helps solve some confusion and player progression issues.
