Titurel Engine Fix

Hey Everyone!

Game version needed: 4.00 / 4.10+ - using it in any different build may cause errors!

This mod is still needed in 4.00+: (in my humble opinion)

• Titurel's one mainsail engine is still of wrong type.
  
• Titurel's M class engines are still underperforming
  
• Speed still way below Scaldis

Exisiting Titurels are now also updated! (as of extension version 1.05)

This mod fixes the engine legacy bug introduced during the game development, causing Titurel to be slower than intended. Titurel is expected to perform at 70 m/s - sadly it never happens, due to the fact that it has been supplied with different types of engines:

1 x 70 m/s (correct one)
4 x 28 m/s (mistake)
1 x 40 m/s (mistake)

it also uses L boosters instead of intended XL ones.

here is the confirmation from the Egosoft representative Kelthur in the thread [forum.egosoft.com]discussing this issue.

"The Titurel using engines with different properties is a mistake. The engine_size_l_03_macro.xml and engine_size_m_03_macro.xml macros are deprecated and will be replaced with proper engines (the fix will likely be delayed and part of an upcoming balancing patch)."

This bug causes Titurel to perform at half the speed and maneuverability at best, as game averages the properties of all engines and only after results with the outcome we can observe in game. The UI information in the details menu is also wrong, as it only gives the specs of the mainsail engine, while the real performance is much slower. You can read more on it in the thread linked above.

The best way to observe and reproduce this behavior is to compare Titurel with ship similar in performance -Scaldis (64 ~ 70 m/s)

Mod changes:

• unifies the engines properties used in Titurel, to ensure nominal performance (and as originally intended by Devs):
  
  • creates new, Titurel specific, M engine type (in place of not intended 4 x 28 m/s), not to conflict with other ships that may use the same macro of the replaced one. New engine follows the specs of the mainsail.
    
  • replaces the L slow engine with the mainsail XL engine (fits perfectly as the space was originally planned for it)
    
  • Not really a big change, but you can now observe all the animations from rear engines as both XL mainsails are present.
• fixes the booster type to the correct XL one
  
• Brings perfromance to about Scaldis' levels

I have been testing the ship for several days and being very happy with it.

Please, do let me know if there is anything in the mod that needs changing.

Q: How to get Titurel ?

• You can capture it in game and Build Styrvok Ships and Titurel
