Playtest 1 (first two pushes, ~40 min game time — pacing on target) found the railgun_s-spam-cruiser meta and confirmed the repair tool as overpowered (second signal after the persistent arena escort margin): - repair_tool 9 -> 4 HP/s: the arena only prices in-fight sustain; real runs add free between-wave top-offs across the whole swarm - railgun_l range 100 -> 130: now outranges stations (120), buying the siege role the capital ladder promises - railgun_m 14 -> 16 dmg, range 70 -> 80: concentration tax softened so the ladder reads "pay some DPS efficiency for reach", not "strictly worse" - new tracked arena: railgun_s-spam cruisers vs default cruisers Module costs untouched, so all threat values stay valid. Docs updated (derived.md, history.md playtest record, README status). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01DyCu8vwChKMbLJQ3xosYEN

# Production tree v2: all weapons are railguns for now — the implementation
|
|
# (instant damage, no projectile, no ammunition) stays as-is and the beam
|
|
# visual reads as a tracer round. Lasers are reserved for a future distinct
|
|
# weapon type (see docs/content_design.md, "Production tree v2 — Weapons").
|
|
# Combat stats are placeholders until the arena balancing pass;
|
|
# production_time_seconds values come from the numbers pass.
|
|
#
|
|
# Unlock progression is mostly disabled (unlock_at_station_level = -1) pending
|
|
# the pacing pass. The railguns are the exception: railgun_m is gated to
|
|
# station level 1, and railgun_l requires railgun_m to be unlocked first
|
|
# (unlock_requires) — a demonstration of the prerequisite chain.

# Surface mask footprint ladder — footprints gate which hulls can mount a
|
|
# module, purely through geometry (see ships.toml for the matching hull
|
|
# grids):
|
|
#
|
|
# 1x1 railgun_s, salvager, repair_tool fits every hull, incl. drones
|
|
# 1x2 maneuvering_thrusters, sensor_booster,
|
|
# armor_plates frigate and up
|
|
# 1x3 afterburner frigate and up (eats most of a frigate)
|
|
# L-shape weapon_stabilizer, weapon_primer,
|
|
# weapon_upgrade frigate and up
|
|
# 2x2 railgun_m, drone_bay cruiser and up (no 2x2 area on s hulls)
|
|
# 3x3 railgun_l battleship and up (no 3x3 area on m hulls)
|
|
# 2x6 drone_hangar carrier only
