Hi Galactic Survivalists!
Welcome to the public release of update 1.9!
What could be more natural than to check your wardrobe and bring it up to scratch, while days are getting colder outside - not only on Ningues. ;) How you do it in the real world is up to you. For Empyrion, we've done it for you.
For version 1.9, we've not only visually reworked the basic customizable armor models for male and female (including the underwear), but also the models of the associated jetpack versions. We have even gone one step further: Not only have the variants for your avatars that you can select from the start screen been reworked, but new ones have been added as well! Along with that, we also made minor adjustments to the motion controller and the use of the jetpack.
As a second important point, there are some important changes in the area of handguns, where there was a lot of overlap: it wasn't clear what the difference was between a "Rifle T1", "Rifle T2", "Pulse Rifles T1 and T2" and a "Laser Rifle", apart from the pure damage. For this reason, the previous model of Tiers, where there was a "T1" and a "T2" version for multiple weapons, was discarded. With 1.9, each weapon gets its own behavior that sets it apart from the others.
As an addition, we added entirely new weapons (SMG, Laser SMG and Laser Carbine) to the list of available weapons and took the opportunity to improve some of their sound effects.
Apart from the balancing work on weapon values, we also reworked various graphical effects: the energy beam of the survival tool, muzzle flashes and propulsion beams, e.g. on the jetpack, but also on the Vessels' drives.
Last, but not least, we have adjusted the AI in two areas. First, AI factions can now fight other AI factions directly when they clash on a field. Second, as a first technical measure, we created that AI fighters can now actively call their comrades for help. We will continue to expand this in the future.
You can try out the changes directly in a fresh environment: in addition to a slew of new buildings for the different NPC factions, we added a completely new, but very challenging game start: Ashon. We are curious to see how you like it.

Changes:
How to use:
Add these new settings to any weapon or tool in the ItemsConfig.ecf to override the default settings for PWM:
{ Child 6
Class: Movements
StandingLocation: "0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
StandingRotation: "0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
AimingLocation: "0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
AimingRotation: "0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
RunningLocation: "0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
RunningRotation: "0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
CrouchingLocation: "0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
CrouchingRotation: "0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
RecoilLocation: "0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
RecoilRotation: "0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
WalkMovement: "0.0"
RunMovement: "0.0"
}
Then when in a save game, equip the weapons or tools you have set this up for and use this command "lpf movements" to activate the GUI to modify settings.
When you have found the values you think work for the weapon/tool, manually place the values for each setting into the ItemsConfig.ecf then save the file when done (use the command in game again when you are finished before exiting the save).
See { +Item Id: 16, Name: LaserRifle in the ItemsConfig.ecf for example.
