4 New Perk Weapons to Test

[Starg]

There are 4 new perk weapons to test.

If you want to try them out, switch over to the 'Testing - New Weapons' branch under the 'Betas' tab in Steam

If you're over Elite 8, all the perks will automatically be unlocked. So you don't need to level up to get to them.

There are now 8 weapon perks. You can have any 4 active at one time. I've added a system so you can change which key/button each weapon is assigned to in the perk screen.

I've also added 4 more perk slots so you can have more goodies active.

I'm interested to know your thoughts on the weapons. I also want to balance the out so if you think any of them are over or under powered let me know.

EMP Virus blast could probably cover the whole screen. I'm pretty sure that's a tad too powerful.

Just before i try it, will we still get xp?

[Starg]

Yes, you will still earn XP. The game is the same, just with 4 new perks.

EMP might be too powerful, I quite like it covering the whole screen though. There are some other ways to reduce it:
- Lower the number you get
- Lower the drop rate
- Lower the speed that the EMP spreads
- Lower the time for which the ships are disabled
- Lower the damage done to enemy ships

Theese new additions are pushing this game to a new level. Very nice. Will share my thoughts on this EMP (THANK GOD FOR THIS, BECAUSE I HATE THE MISSILE SHIPS FF*)

I think lowering the amount of damage that the enemy ships take as well as the time that they are disabled by a smidge would make the EMP more balanced. I quite enjoy the speed at which the pulse spreads. Do each of the weapons have different drop rates?

Great game Starg, loving it so far!
