Champion: Improved Swords [WOTC]

Folder ID: 1125296314

This mod improves on base game swords, adding one of each variety (conventional, arc, fusion) to Tier 2 and Tier 3. Each variety has their own beneficial properties and an unique ability that distinguishes it from the others. Also improves Bladestorm by removing the -30 aim penalty on reaction attacks when using a sword.

In the base game, Rangers have an easy time deciding whether to use a shotgun or their sword. Shotguns seemingly always have 100% chance to hit, deal more damage and have far higher chance to crit. They can also combine with Rapid Fire. Run and Gun further decreases the rare use-case for swords to practically 0.

The purpose of this mod is to give swords more purpose without merely increasing their chance to hit to 100% and increasing their damage. It attempts to solve that problem by just adding in more unique use cases for them.

This mod adds one of each variety of sword, conventional, arc and fusion to Tier 2 and Tier 3. For reference, Tier 1 is what you start the game with, Tier 2 used to be Arc Blade only, Tier 3 used to be Fusion Blade only. You can buy and use any variation you want independantly. All Tier 2 and Tier 3 swords will not suffer reaction penalties in combination with Bladestorm. Their proper descriptions are below.

Conventional technology has less flair, but is slightly cheaper than the arc and fusion counterparts. They can pierce enemy armor and yield Shogun.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
There is no schematic image for conventional swords in engineering, so it has the Arc Blade image there. Be sure to not go by the image on what to buy but read the schematic name.

ARTIST HELP
I could use an artist to solve the above problem for me, that is add an image for the conventional sword that is usable in engineering schematics.
