This is a download for 2 CPACKs.
One brings many Blaster units which are very powerful energy based weapons. They are the "V-versions" of various units.
The other brings a Rocket Launcher using ARG to fire long-ranged rockets. This CPACK has plans to be expanded on.

Blasters need lots of Liftic to be created.
Rocket Launchers only need some energy.

#1
All that is theoretically left is to fix the animation of the Heavy Blaster when no target is in range.
Blasters-v2.5.5.2 had this problem.

Hopefully now that I have fixed the above, there will be no more updates to these CPACKs.

#2
Blaster promoted to Vertu Blaster. (Vertu Blasters v2.6.0.0)
  • I made my own custom model for the Blaster, I am very, very, happy with how it came out. It should also be less expensive to render, reducing the unit's impact on game performance.
  • Blasters now have an additional movement speed which stacks with the vanilla movement (which is affected by the Movement Speed port upgrade, the additional movement is not), making them very fast, maybe too fast [lowered their speed in v2.6.0.1].
  • Blasters now have a muzzle flash.
  • Heavy Blaster is unchanged.
  • Rocket Launcher V download updated in case it was outdated (which is unlikely).

v3.0.3.0

Added multiple new Blaster units! (Which should need little to no changes from this point on).

  • V-Nullifier AI better handles cases when there are more nullifiers than nullifiable enemies.
  • V-Nullifiers no longer target Lancer Wrecks.
  • Accused the V-Sniper of enemy detection heresy. Liberated V-Sniper from this heresy.
