Currently compatible with: "Enraged Koala"


The Problem:

The Combat System in Starbound is basically fine but theres one little thing that makes it feel like you are cheating godlike. Did you ever notice you can swing your greatsword and then a second after your swing is done (sword in swing-end sprite), just walk into an enemy...even backwards and still hit it? Why is that? It is because the game handles every attack in projectiles, even sword swings, these projectiles have a given play speed which is often currently 0.3, all these projectiles (swoosh) effects have 3 sprites (3 animation states) and each of them takes 0.3 seconds to complete, that means you can basically hit enemys 0.9 seconds after the actual swing is done, that feels like cheating.



Also on top of that all weapons feel very weak and unrealisticly stronger than other type of weapons, greatswords as example are often dismissed because why taking a greatsword if its a weak piece of metal and even a hammer is better?

​

Solution:

Swings are now nearly instantenious (not completely since you want to see the swoosh effect but still way faster than before) not allowing you to swing and then run into enemies anymore, instead you now have to time your swings since most time of your swing is now an empty non-attack state and leaves you open for enemies to get through your attacks. It's a really simple change, really! but it can have a huge impact on combat and how you have to work with your weapons.

This should affect all normal weapon categories:

and even special weapons like:

All weapons in this mod will get slightly slower with every tier they increase, also every race has its own bonuses for weapons some or stonger, some are weaker, some faster and some arn't.
