Version History

v1.13 (by Dybal)

• corrected equipment misnaming that prevented the civilian version from being available for purchase.

v1.12 (by Lone-Wolf)

• replacing handlers gave problems, switched to a different method of combining additive(NG next) and multiplicative modifiers.

v1.11.1 (by Lone-Wolf)

• replacement add/remove equipment handlers used wrong function name.

v1.11 (by Lone-Wolf)

• it was impossible to install Naval Energy Unit or Naval Grid if you had civilian energy grid installed, added sell option for energy grid to solve this;
• fixed errors in the functions that handle apply/revert the modifications to the shield charge values

v1.10 (by Lone-Wolf)

• rewrite to make use of 1.82 feautures, especially the now writable shield recharge value;
• no longer uses a timer, core game now handles the actual shield recharging;
• removed primable part as it's no longer relevant/needed with the new design;
• added a lower spec civilian version that depends on EEU instead of NEU, so players can now get extra shield recharge if they have an EEU installed; this should help survival in early/mid-game. (the energy is available, why not use it ? )

v1.00 (by Thargoid)

• initial release.
