0.5.21

Increased the Component Damage Reduction to 35% on the Pythagoras and Descartes (was 30%)
> This makes HEI missiles unable to destroy reinforced DC lockers, and 450mm AP no longers kills large engines.

Added a "Medium DC Storage" compartment for testing.
> Holds 4 restores but no DC Teams (unlike what the OSP Large DC Storage will get after the next patch) but fits in a thinner compartment.

0.5.20

All ships now have proper RCS models.
- The max RCS returns has been significantly increased while the min RCS stayed roughly the same but is applied a lot more intuitively and consistently.
- As a rule of thumb, the top/bottom directions have the maximum return, the side directions have between 60% and 30% of the max return, the back directions have 20%, and the front depending if it is flat or pointy have between a 20% and 10%.
> This means that they are all a bit harder to detect from the front/rear now, but easier from odd angles.

- Euler lost its radar return hull modifier.
> The base return is lower now thanks to the accurate RCS model

- Descartes and Euler now have a default CR70 antenna.
> These are more flavor changes than balancing ones. Although it will be harder to mute a Euler, be it a Scout or a CMD missileer, which is nice.

Hotfix

0.5.13

- Removed Masquerade component from the faction's hardware.
> It can only emulate ANS hulls...

Pythagoras:
- Downscaled two 3x3x3 module sockets into 2x2x2 ones
> This is a targeted nerf to rail builds that could be quite oppressive.
- Locked the oversized compartment socket to only accept bulk/reinforced magazines.
> Should add more depth to outfitting the hull since you cannot just slap a berthing in there and ignore crew anymore.

Thales:
- Minor maneuverability nerf to match the Vauxhall's turn rate

hotfix

0.5.12

Aryabhata:
- hull cost reduced to 95 (was 110)

Euler:
- hull cost reduced to 120 (was 150)

Noether:
- Wing mounts scaled down to class 1 (were C2)
- Nose mounts deepened to allow Glares (were true C1)
> I'm a bit sad about that change, but the Noether always had way too many mounts for its own good. Maybe one day I will saw off the nose ones

Thales:
- Max module repair hull modifier notched back down to +5% (was +10)

Descartes:
- Top and Botom C1 mounts deepedend to fit Glares
- Base hull cost lowered to 550 (was 700)
> A more appropriate cost as the Axford is 600 and the Thales 350.

Pythagoras:
- C2 PD mounts can now more easily defend against missiles coming from the top and bottom

0.5.11

- Added back the EA99 Active Decoy to the available weapons list

Pythagoras
- Turn rate decreased by 15%
- Damage Reduction lowered to 30% (was 40)
- Increased max module repair hull modifier to +10% (was +5)

Descartes:
- Damage Reduction lowered to 30% (was 35)
- Increased max module repair hull modifier to +10% (was +5)
- Significantly increased its translation acceleration.

Thales:
- Increased max module repair hull modifier to +10% (was +5)

Noether:
- Damage Reduction raised to 20% (was 10)
- Internal armor density lowered to 0.75cm/m (was 1)

Euler:
- Damage Reduction raised to 10% (was 5)
- Internal armor density lowered to 0.5cm/m (was 1)

Aryabhata:
- Internal armor density lowered to 0.5cm/m (was 1)

0.5.10

- Fixed HEKP visual effect not showing up on PRISM hulls.
- Removed Aurora from weapon list, replaced with the Glare in functionality (better for self defense, worse at covering allies).

Pythagoras:
- Gained +5% max module repair hull modifier

Descartes:
- Lost -20% flank damage hull modifier
- Gained +5% max module repair hull modifier
> A fair trade imo

Thales:
- Gained +5% max module repair hull modifier
- C2 sockets are now true full depth C2 instead of shallow ones.
- Split one of the huge compartment socket into two mediums.
- Added a third small module socket.
- Spinal VLS1 46 now adds 1 programming channel too (because of a new DAMN missile).

0.5.04

- OK this time it's for real, the paint jobs work reliably!
> Of course the issues were caused by a series of miss-communications, wrong assumptions and mistakes.

0.5.03

- All RCS have been adjusted to conform more closely to vanilla ships of similar sizes.
> Still a smidgen stealthier, but no longer half the return anymore.
- Targeting volumes have also been made a bit smaller to avoid too many shells missing by a hair.

- Paintjob slot now has a default component in it.
- Paintjobs *should* be more reliable now (might require an AGMLIB update to work).
- Lowered the Thales' hull bonus for ballistic RPM to 10%, raised the energy weapon bonus to 20% (were 15%).
- Reduced the max turn rate of the bigger ships by about 10-15%.

[note] The Pythagoras is a bit too good right now, especially when players are not used to deal with it. However the next patch will significantly buff the Solomon and Axford and I suspect the Pythagoras will be in a good spot then.
