Enceladus Aerospace Fleet

This mod adds the Enceladus Aerospace Fleet as a new unlockable faction in the game. Many thanks to TTFTCUTS for creating the Reassembly Web Development Kit, and to Aleksander Wit, Doomwyte, Marcboy99, and especially Floofystuff/FluffyCherryPie (also, go check out her new mod, Obelisk Corp, at http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1134655430) for helping to test the mod and give me suggestions/advice on it. Being as this is the first mod I've created, this sort of help was greatly appreciated.

I highly suggest using Splinter's Graphics Overhaul along with this mod if you don't already have it: http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=644263599

Lore:

As a fledgling nation, the Sovereign State of Enceladus developed on the tiny, frozen moon of Saturn, seeking to isolate itself from the wars and politics of the inner Sol System in favour of a focus on science and technological development. But isolation can only be a temporary measure, and all too soon, humanity's development and expansion drew Enceladus back into that from which it attempted to hide. A barely-survived invasion attempt upon Enceladus by the aggressively expansionistic Prometheus Corporation starkly highlighted the need for significant upgrades to the SSE's defensive - and, potentially, offensive - capabilities. As a result, the Enceladus Aerospace Fleet was expanded from a small defence force of no more than four dozen warships to a true space navy numbering in the low thousands of vessels. With the help of their highly developed technology in the fields of propulsion, energy, and spacetime manipulation, the EAF became a formidable power in their own right, securing the Sovereign State of Enceladus a firm foothold in the Sol System. In recent years, the need for greater industrial capability resulted in a number of expeditionary fleets being sent through wormholes to the far reaches of space, to expand the reach of Enceladus further into the stars...

Info:

The EAF is a faction which focuses on using devastating long-range firepower and agility to avoid taking damage in the first place rather than absorbing hits with armour. To this end, they use powerful thrusters and beam weapons, but have very weak (although lightweight) armour and hull, and no shields whatsoever. Although intended to be somewhat stronger than (well-built ships from) most of the vanilla factions, the EAF should be reasonably possible to beat using unmodded vanilla ships - although weaker factions such as the Reds, Farmers, and Bees will likely find this a significant challenge. Their regions are fairly large and each contain many ships, but are few in number.

EAF ships will not attack unless they or their allies are fired upon first, so if you wish to pass through their territory without a fight, just take your weapons off of point defence/autofire and fly through (without crashing into their ships). However, if you do decide to war with them, they can be unlocked in the same manner as all of the vanilla factions: destroying one of their ships worth over 1000P. I gave them fairly high regional P limits and plenty of capital ships, so it shouldn't be difficult to find these.

Features:

- 18 ships
- 2 starter ships to choose from
- 139 blocks (including size variations)
- lots of small pieces for players who enjoy building detailed ships
- glass cannons everywhere

Primary Armaments:

- Particle Beams: Long range charge-to-fire particle accelerator weapons which produce explosive results on impact.
- Pulse Lasers: Precision beam weapons which fire a series of rapid pulses, followed by a short cooldown.
- Railguns: Rapid-fire, high-velocity kinetic weapons.
- Coilguns: Slow-firing kinetic weapons with fairly high velocity and penetration.
- Rocket Turrets: Short-range projectile weapons which fire a spread of unguided, explosive rockets.
- Missiles: Three types - long-range explosive, mid-range kinetic impactors, and nuclear shaped charges.
- Drones: Four types - autocannon, beam, plasma torch swarmer, and utility (repair/R collection).
- Antimatter Beam: Superweapon; fires a devastating explosive stream of antiparticles, but has a long cooldown period.
- Veilpiercer Beam: Superweapon; precision spacetime manipulation weapon with virtually infinite penetration and range, but a very long charging time.

Other Equipment:

- Deuterium-Tritium Fusion Reactor: Safe reactor type which incurs no further damage upon destruction, but rather bulky.
- Antimatter Reactor: Highly volatile reactor type with small size and high energy production.
- Hull: Self-explanatory. Holds a small amount of resources, but is terribly fragile. Comes in painted and unpainted varieties.
- Reinforced Bulkheads: Pay P for "armour" worse than regular Terran hull (yeah, this faction isn't exactly made for durability).
- Warp Core: Spacetime manipulation device which allows for quick turning and warp jumps, but uses a lot of energy.
- RCS Thruster: Provides a short burst of thrust. Suitable for re-orienting a ship.
- Nuclear Thermal Rocket: Applies constant, moderate thrust.
- Fusion Torch Drive: Produces very high thrust, but takes several seconds to reach full power.
- Flare Launcher: Launches flares which burn bright and hot to distract enemy missiles

Planned Changes:

- Add more ship designs

---

Known Issues:

- Warp Cores and D-T Fusion Reactors sometimes randomly turn a slightly different shade than intended. I don't really know what causes this, but I'll try to fix it if possible. It shouldn't affect gameplay, though.
- The 'Styx' Veilpiercer Beam sometimes freezes the game for several seconds upon firing. This is purely a result of it destroying many blocks per shot and the calculations the game has to perform as a result, so there is nothing I can do about it. The freezes are always temporary and only a single ship (very rare spawn) uses the weapon, so it shouldn't be a major problem, but I wanted to make note of this for anyone who decides to use the weapon themselves.

P.S. I tried to keep this faction fairly scientifically accurate for the most part. If you happen to find something which is scientifically inaccurate (aside from the spacetime manipulation stuff and the lasers being visible), please let me know in a comment and I'll do my best to fix it.
