About The Pull Request

How.to.be.good.at.talking.with.Nicolai.Malthus.mp4

this pr adds two tiziran themed ships and some tiziran flavored items to support both a new pirate type and freeform cantag stuff with tiziran flavor.

the first ship, the tiziran corvette, doubles as the pirate shuttle and as the larger cantag shuttle, with the latter having a couple pirate specific machines removed. it costs enough that you need at least two people to afford it, unless you wanna blow some TC. It comes with an armory and a mounted gun functionally similar to the skeleton pirate cannon.

the second ship, the tiziran interceptor, is intended for and affordable by solo or duo antagonists. it comes with a gun and spacesuits, but no snub cannon.

both the corvette and the interceptor are only buyable at the cantina shuttle console

this pr also adds:

• a snub nosed particle cannon. it draws power from the grid over feeding ammo, balanced specifically around causing blackouts per shot. it's permanently mounted to the hull, but the traverse and splash damage are enough to potentially damage the corvette if you're sloppy or malicious.

• a semiauto gauss rifle. 5 rounds of relatively high power ammunition designed to wing security. tiziran operators prefer gauss driven weapons in an attempt to avoid spark-ignition of the soup of low lying cave gasses! the obj sprite was done by paxilmaniac

• a set of three tiziran hardsuits, color coded so you can be like an evil sentai force. the mob sprites were also by paxil!

this pr is complete!

Why It's Good For The Game

nice flavorful content to spotlight special doppler shift lore, plus this lets us have an approximate equivalent to something like skeleton pirates without raising a ton of bizarre lore questions. also the more dopplerfied different pirate choices are the easier it is to justify trickling them in on dynamic cause we have a slightly firmer grip on their magic numbers and loadouts and stuff :3c

Testing Evidence

note that while a bunch of unit tests are failing, in local testing the pr is totally working and runtime free. even the guns that are throwing errors on the test seem to function as normal.

While the maps are looking good and are tgm-formatted properly, I'm left wondering if the corvette could be smaller - a big chunk of it is mostly empty plating, and its size restricts where the ship itself can be positioned in practice. The ship should also feature an air tank/oxygen canister for its atmos system
