Proton Torpedo vs Proton Bomb (Proton Bomb) image - Endless Sky: A Galaxy Far Far Away (AGFFA) mod for Endless Sky
Just a plugin that I made that aims to replicate Star Wars (or at least tries to) in Endless Sky. During the past year or so, I've managed to create around 280 ships, ranging from one-man fighters to capital ships, all from a variety of eras and factions (The Old Republic, the Republic & CIS, the Empire & Rebels, the First Order & Resistance, and even some from Legends). Currently, there is no existing storyline or a functioning galaxy map, though I intend to finish another 100 ships before I develop other aspects of the plugin (their sprites can be found in the plugin already).
Proton Bomb
Only quite recently did I figure out how to make proton bomb weapons functional in ES. I created a copy of the proton torpedo launcher (which I had already created), increased the damage, increased the drag of the weapon, decreased its lifetime, and increased the sprite size. The AI actually uses proton bombs quite well, though will still attempt to use them against fast and agile fighters like TIE/LN fighters, which isn't optimal. (Proton bombs are far too slow to hit fighters, so bombers waste ammunition) Overall, I'm pretty happy with the proton bomb secondary weapons.
