This repository is for the Endless Sky plug-in "Arc Over". The plug-in currently encompasses all vanilla ships except person ships as well as ships not yet used in vanilla gameplay. As new ships are added to vanilla, this plug-in will be updated.
Arc Over gives limited angles to turret mounts on vanilla ships, adding another balance aspect to combat gameplay. These arcs are determined by a few factors, and are given exceptions in some cases, some being more lenient than others, and others being no limits at all. For detailed information, see the arc notes.txt
file in the data folder for general concept and specific choices for each faction.
For a "stable release", check out the Releases on the righthand side of this page and download the Source.zip file and extract to your plug-ins directory, so that there's the "arc-over-version#" folder in your plug-ins folder.
For getting the "continuous", which can be changed at any moment, click on the green <> Code
button at the top right of the repository and download the ZIP file, then extract it to your plug-ins folder.
If you find any bugs or issues with this plug-in, or have any suggestions, feel free to open an Issue in this repository, or visit the Endless Sky Community Discord server here: https://discord.gg/ZeuASSx and @Saugia in #plug-in chat. Additionally, feel free to leave any feedback on how limited turret arc gameplay feels with vanilla content - whether it is beneficial, net neutral, or a detriment.
