Description A simple mod to add several new lasers and laser colours to Oolite. Adds some of them to the core shipset as well as making them available to the player. Press \"i\" for more information. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Combined with the core lasers, the options include: Red: Pulse lasers - budget Ingram (range) and Ergon (cool-running) models Orange: Defence lasers - slow heat up (yet reasonable fire-rate) Ingram MegaBlast (power) and Dual 22-18 (speed) models Brown: Variscan lasers - multi-purpose (including mining) Volt (power) and Hassoni (budget) models Yellow: Beam lasers - rapid-fire Ingram (range) and Ergon (cool-running) models Green: Burst lasers - dogfighting Hassoni-Kruger (budget) and ColtMaster (power) models Cyan: Cannon lasers - sniping Hassoni HiRad (power) and ColtMaster Starlaser (speed) Blue: Mining lasers - specialist Ingram (standard) and JK (power) models Magenta: Military lasers - combat versatility Lance & Ferman (range) and Ergon (cool-running) models Also includes an option for enabling some silly/over-powered lasers: Pulse laser: the Frontier-Newton Yr1993 PlasmaCharger. Much like a standard pulse laser except that it kills things. Colour: thargoid green. Defence laser: the Williams PewPew 1982 ('R'-type model). Make laser overheating a thing of the past (along with careful aiming) with this medium fire-rate laser. Colour: rose (whatever that is). VariScan laser: ZeusCorp's Thunderbolt will smash up pretty much anything into little bits. Not the fastest fire rate but it 'packs a wallop'. Colour: white/yellow. Beam laser: the Lucas NegForce (SithField) Generator fires a stream of intense, awe-inspiring energy at the target over medium range. According to some, the awe wears off after several uses. Colour: pink. Burst laser: the QVC Ubertron 4000 can be yours for a bargain price with this one-time limited edition special offer. Make other pilots regret 'looking at you funny' with just a second or two of trigger action. Satisfaction guaranteed... Not recommended for the short tempered. Colour: white. Laser Cannon: the mysterious DeXM-trope DoomLens is hard to find but extremely formidable. Aim, fire, kill; only the first one is difficult. This will suck energy like nobodies business. Colour: black (of course). Mining laser: the Anderson ITC 'Belter' Sp.(1999) hits with such a hard radioactive blast that it's amazing any of the rock survives. Can be used under duress to do similar to ships. Exhibits a strange technology ahead of its years. Colour: azure (I'm struggling here). Military Laser: introducing the RimmerAce Quadcooled ImpasseResolver. Yes, it's four times 'cooler' than any other military laser and is also the four times winner of the 'shiniest barrel' award. It just oozes class (in a leak-free, non-radiation hazard sense of course). Colour: blue/green. A simple mod to add several new lasers and laser colours to Oolite.

New Lasers.oxp v0.7

Author: Redspear
License: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
Credits: Draws inspiration from the Elite 'Space Traders Flight Training Manual' written by Rob Holdstock for the 1984 Acornsoft publication of BBC Elite.
phkb for contributions to v0.6 (listed below).

Requirements:

This is a stand-alone expansion pack designed to work with the 1.82 release of Oolite.

Description:

This oxp adds new laser choices for the player and also to some of the non-player ships.

Laser names were almost entirely drawn from the Elite manual (credited above), assigned various colours and profiles and designed to fit within the extremes of the standard pulse and military lasers.

Release History:

v0.1 	Added 3 new lasers:
	- HiRad (more versatile mining laser, cyan colour)
 	- MegaBlast (police pulse laser, orange colour)
	- Burst (rapid fire, quick overheat, green colour)
	
v0.2	Added another 6 lasers and assigned them to various ships:
	- Ergon (pulse, beam and military, assigned to Boas, Fer-de-Lance, Krait and Mamba)
	- VariScan (2 types of pulse laser, brown colour, assigned to Cobra MkI and Python)
	- Assault (short range, high power military laser, purple colour, unassigned)
	Assigned the previously released lasers to ships:
	- HiRad (Anaconda)
	- MegaBlast (Viper, although I chose not to replace the police laser colour as yet)
	- Burst (Asp MkII, tweaked to look slightly less like the thargoid laser)

v0.3 	Added 3 more lasers:
	- Starlaser (long range but not quite continuous fire)
	- JK laser (low range and power mining laser)
	- Dual 20-18 (closer to beam than pulse)
	Assigned lasers to the Sidewinder (Dual) and pirate variants of core ships.
	Edited shipyard-overrides to allow more characteristic ship sale options.
	Changer Viper's laser colour to orange.
	Tweaked some laser colours to make each one recognisable.
	Removed mining property from HiRad laser and gave to VariScan models.
	Various other adjustments.

v0.4	Added 8 new 'uber'/silly weapons that require activation via equipping an 'UBER' laser coupler.
	Assorted tweaks to some of the other lasers.

v0.5	Tweaked many of the 'uber' lasers to make them a little less impressive.
	Restricted availabilty of many lasers to certain systems.

// interim version by phkb
v0.6    Fixed a couple of small issues with the condition script
	Added compatibility for Laser Mount Switching System (LMSS)
	
v0.7	Included fixes by phkb and added compatibility with the following oxps:
	Xenon HUD
	Equipment by Ship Class
