[WIP][SERVER]Planetary Obliteration

By far the biggest barrier to adding new units is finding someone who can animate, model, and texture units. I've had plans for a number of units, but have had to put them on hold because the guy who did all of that for legion, @killerkiwijuice, has gone MIA.

not MIA, I've just lost interest and am now in college

For texturing @mgmetal13 is around and might be able to help.

Still doesn't do much good without an animator.

It's been a while. I've not gotten much done as I've been taking a break from modding. I've got a new version out that polishes up a couple of things and nerfs Luther.

Alpha Eight

General:
Fixed a bug with the color of the Sim speed. If you have two sim speeds btw, that means that you need to uninstall the sim speed mod as it's now included in the core game.

Storage
Storages are now T1.5 (t1 fabs can build now)

MLA:

Spark
Spark effect has been replaced with an awesome lightning effect originally made by Dom.
Spark HP increased from 400 to 425
Spark damage per shot increased from 6 to 7
This should make sparks better at fending off Striker hordes, and they'll look amazing while doing it.

Lobber
Now only fires one boom bot, every 10 seconds.

Unit Cannon
Is now T2 again.

Needler
Damage per shot increased from 40 to 60

Striker
Cost increased from 165 to 170
HP decreased from 425 to 400
Turret rotation rate lowered to make it less effective against aircraft.

Drifter
Splash radius increased from 7.5 to 10.
Damage per shot increased from 80 to 90.

Legion

Advanced Power Catalyst
Now uses the same model as vanilla legion's storage (which, incidentally, is the original purpose of that model).

I cant seen to download this mod in the PA community mod manager. It says im missing the dependencies but i cant find those anywhere

Waiting on @mikeyh to fix everything so that the mod can be downloaded again. Made a few more changes for Alpha Nine:

Nearly all Legion units have had textures updated to most recent versions by mgmetal.
Effect changes on battleship, battlecruiser.

Finally got around to disabling wreckage for the Nova.

Stoke: Damage per shot 40 -> 50

Obliterator: Range 120 -> 125
Scorpion: Range 140 -> 120
Seabass: Range 140 -> 100
Bowhead: Damage 100 -> 115 Splash 67.5 -> 75
Spark now uses a beam.
Drifter: Cost 400 -> 350

PO lives again!

Alpha Ten

Okay, now that we're thankfully done with me updating every three hours to introduce a crash bug and not fix what I was trying to fix (six updates to fix that) we can return to our regularly scheduled balance updates.

General
Support commanders shot down by Umbrella/Talos while in drop pods no longer deal damage to ground/air/naval units in their explosion.
A couple of effects changes
Several more units now have reload bars.

MLA

Marauder
HP increased from 80 to 90.

Sea Defense Platforms
Torpedo lifetimes increased by one second.

Alpha 10.1

I overbuffed lockheeds in A.10, this brings them down to more reasonable levels along with buffing some more underused legion units and correcting one of the last instances of a cannon unit not being able to target air.

Unless I missed something, only legion units are changed in this version.

Salamander
Damage per shot increased massively from 30 to 90
Splash radius doubled from 10 to 20.

Lockheed
Chin-gun bullet damage reduced from 20 to 15
Rocket damage reduced from 60 to 35.
Rockets are depleted faster.

Gadfly
Damage increased from 220 to 250.

Theodor
Damage increased from 200 to 220.

Orbweaver
Cost increased from 600 to 700.

Stoke
Cost lowered from 400 to 325.

Odin
Flak damage increased from 40 to 60.

Kaiju
Can now properly target air.

Glad you are still here! I was getting nervous because I stopped seeing updates on the thread. I'll give newest version a go.

Alpha 10.2
Balance fixes and updated some textures.

MLA

Stinger
Fixed a bug where missiles expired too early. Lifetime increased from 1 to 4.

Damage reduced from 80 to 30.
Cost increased from 600 to 750.
HP increased from 600 to 750.

Great mod keep up the good work.

Alpha Eleven
Crap ton of balance changes in this one. A few edges have been smoothed out, oversights have been corrected, and PO should play more smoothly.

MLA

Zeus
Damage increased from 500 to 600, splash increased from 250 to 300.

Pelter
Turret rotates a bit more quickly.

Pummeler
Is now able to shoot down more missiles.

Omega
No longer has an energy cost for anti-ground weapon, cost increased from 4000 to 4200.

Leviathan
Fixed an issue where it was using the wrong weapon file. It should no longer be ridiculous.

Squall (Typhoon drone)
No longer uses health decay to cause it to die; instead uses same system as Legion drones.

Torpedo Launchers
Turn rate increased (again)

The issue appears to be that the torpedos are consistently undershooting surface ships. I'm unsure if I can fix this without effectively removing the ability for micro'd ships to dodge the torpedos.

MLA

Phoenix: Missile turn rate increased from 120 to 180.

Angel: Can now detect subs.

Slammer: Range reduced from 100 to 90

Stinger:
HP - 210 -> 380
Damage - 60 -> 80

Legion

Shank: Muzzle now has a red center instead of an orange one.

Nova: Now behaves like current Vanilla Legion one.

Dauntless: Turn rate increased.

T2 Air Fab: HP increased from 320 to 620.

Salamandar: Renamed to Perdition

Marauder: Now fires from both barrels at once (purely visual)

Protector: Firing FX should now be emitted from the muzzle.

Fabrication Bots: Made a bit more dense (more concentrated so you get more bang from fewer of them).

Thunderbolt: Now uses new model by @themax267

Havoc: Damage reduced by 33%.

Black Knight: Main projectile damage reduced by 67%, but now spawns several drones.

Hydra: HP increased from 3500 to 3600.

I love the idea of this mod, but I have a few questions about it.
Firstly, have you thought of doing something like legion and make a site detailing all of the changes it does? I would be useful for new players who want to quickly see what it does.
Secondly, the MLA commands can't build metal extractors, is there a reason for this or is it a bug? I'm mostly asking because it breaks any other AI that you try and use, and you haven't mentioned it I think.

Can't build metal extractors? Sounds like a conflicting mod. Remove any other unit adding server mods and hodgepodge.

Ah, found it. Com reclaim fix was interfering. Thank you. Have you thought about a site detailing the mod?

Been a while since an update, been busy with other things and stuff seems to have settled down; I'm not aware of any outstanding balance issues (if there are please inform me).

Alpha 12.2:
Changed the Hive. Swarms now last an additional 3.5 seconds, but Swarm HP reduced from 125 to 80 and Hive cost increased to 900. Overall a buff.

Manta missile damage reduced from 500 to 200. Not sure why I never fixed that before.

Fixed a bug where the Leviathan was using the wrong ammunition. This has the effect of lowering damage from 200 to 120, splash damage from 200 to 40, and increasing splash radius from 7 to 10.
