Scale is done to the entire model - So, no, you can't scale it on one axis

This is like everything that cc should be, but isn't (despite being going for a relatively long time, there's been too few changes for my liking).

I agree Gandalf. Im just carrying on with what i started. One little issue. I tried to make it so TP2 gave you tp1 also so that if you lost your sup you would lose the tp2 but still have tp1. The nature of the game code will not allow for this. So my workaround is , im making it so you can have both tp1 and 2 selectable if you have them researched. The question is, should i change the cost of tp1 so that its cheaper or increase the cost of tp2. One wonders.

Anyone have any thoughts, im really undecided.

I would make TP1 cheaper, personally. There have never been complaints about the cost of dropping a TP2 probe (that I've heard of anyways) so it makes more sense to leave that where it is. Considering how much money is already spent on a single TP2 & FB/XRM run, I don't think increasing it would help any.

Making TP1 cheaper would make for more expendable scouts flying out for long range drops (i.e. for SBs) though. It could be considered a slight buff for tac but I doubt it'd really change much. Maybe just the difference between getting a TP1 scout out now versus in another payday.

I might half the cost then. Or take it down to 400 credits for it.

$400 sounds fair. It's still not terribly cheap. I would worry if it was >$300. You cant' exactly spam TP1 at $400/pop.

Yeh it's mainly so people dont click the tp1 instead of tp2. 400 seems resonable.

Final update on changelist. I will posting this for Autoupdate. Please inform me of any rebalances you think the core will need.

If you were going to vary costs on tp1/2, looks like you forgot to mention it in changelog. Also, there was one other ic ship which didn't have the cost reduction applied to it, but I forget which. GS, probably.

Yeh i think you are right about the gunship. I corrected the change list. I will Do gunship after the next release. but thanks for reminding me.
