• Added a small amount (1-4) of target tracking to the smaller guns. (Target tracking reduces the penalties caused by the relative motion of you and your target.)
• Added +2 accuracy to all guns when at maximum range.
• Added a small amount (1-2) of mid range accuracy to mid-heavy guns.
• Reduced small/medium ship defense by 4.
• Added +2 damage resistance to large, huge and colossal ships.
• Made small adjustments to target tracking, mainly on the mid to upper range ships. Most noticable [sic] on the Raa.
• Slightly reduced the relative motion accuracy penalty.
• Slightly extended out the range at which we start applying relative motion penalties.
• Decreased the defense of the MC La Belle. It was receiving its defense bonus plus the defense bonus of the regular La Belle. But even with this correction, itÂ’s still the highest-defense ship in the game.
• Reduced the DR of some ships (such as the Cruizer) that were set too high due to having their size reduced recently
• Increased the defense for third rate and above line ships (they are still very easy to hit)
• Slightly increased the defense for some mid-range and high-end ships.
