Expanded Legendary Arsenal - New and Enhanced Effects

This is a mod I've been planning since the release of Shattered Space, buffing various legendary effects and creating new ones. I first toyed around with a quick buff to the Mirrored effect and my efforts quickly snowballed into a full scale overhaul. Currently, it adds 15 new effects patterned after those found in other titles such as Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, as well a few gap-fillers that I feel were missing from base game. There's also a whole suite of 4-star thematic Legendaries you can now apply to both weapons and armor. As a bonus the 4-star armor mods cost half as much as the base game ones to add a little incentive to pursue them in the early game. One thing that I greatly enjoy is decent buffs with some amount of trade-offs and as such many of these effects will do just that.

Enhanced Armor Effects:

Aerial Advantage (4-star, Pack): Changed to an always on effect. Electrified & Inspiring (4 star, Spacesuit): No longer restricted to Full Suits. Grenadier (4 star, Pack): Changed to an always on effect. Removed boost jump fuel reduction and replaced it with a new secondary effect, +25% explosion radius at the cost of -50% explosion damage resistance. Mirrored (3-star, all armor): Proc rate increased from 4% to 10%. Additionally, ricochet damage increased by 4x. Speedster (4 star, Spacesuit): Movement speed bonus increased from 30% to 45%. No longer knocks enemies down as a secondary effect, instead drains player oxygen when taking damage.

Enhanced Weapon Effects:

Chilling (2-star, Weapon): Proc rate increased from 15% to 20%. Duration increased from 4 to 6 seconds. Concussive, Demoralizing, Frenzy (3-star, Weapon): Proc rates increased from 15% to 20%. Lacerate & Staggering (2-star, Weapon): Proc rates increased from 8% to 15%.

New Armor Effects:

Neo-Aristocrat (1-star, all armor): Damage and energy resistance increases for every 20,000 credits you have, up to 25%. Demolitionist (2-star, Pack): Explosives weigh 25% less. Provisoning (2-star, Pack): Chems, food, and drink items weigh 25% less. Steadfast: (3-star, all armor:) Reduce damage by 50% while moving. Take 25% more damage while standing still.

Adept Gunner (4-star, Helmet): Your ship weapon recharge rate and targeting system effectiveness is increased by 25%, at the cost of -50% ranged weapon accuracy. Flying Ace (4-star, Spacesuit): Your ship engine effectiveness and turn rate is increased by 25% at the cost of -50% boost pack effectiveness. Miracle Worker (4-star, Pack): Your ship damage resistance and shield effectiveness is increased by 25%, at the cost of -50% personal damage resistance. Rock Steady (4-star, all armor): +15% immunity to stagger, -10% movement speed. Unregulated Mining (4-star, Spacesuit): Inorganic resource yields increased by 3x, resources weigh 25% less, tool-grip weapon damage reduced by 15%.

New Weapon Effects:

Fortifying (1-star, Weapon): Critical hits temporarily increase your maximum hit points. (Detailed perk proc info: Each critical hit adds 25 Max HP for 10 seconds. Pairs well with new "Surgical Strikes" 4-star effect.) Neo-Aristocrat (1-star, Weapon): Damage increases for every 20,000 credits you have, up to 50%. Slayer's (1-star, Melee Weapon): Melee attacks have a chance to instantly kill enemies. (Detailed perk proc info: Works similar to the 4-star Saboteur effect: 5% chance to kill targets with a 6 second cooldown. Might need more tuning.)

Kryx's Boon (4-star, Weapon): Killing an enemy of the Crimson Fleet drops skill magazines, contraband, Astra, or X-Tech. (Detailed perk proc info: 70% chance to earn either Astra or X-Tech. 30% chance to earn Contraband. 10% chance to earn a cache of Astra, Contraband, and a random Skill Magazine. Crimson Fleet enemies include Ecliptic, Spacers, United Colonies, Freestar Collective, and House Va'ruun.) Surgical Strikes (4-star, Weapon): +20% critical hit chance. Gain health regeneration when you critically hit an enemy.(Detailed perk proc info: Each critical hit heals 5 HP over seconds.) Vanguard's Bounty (4-star, Weapon): Killing an enemy of the United Colonies drops credits or action figures. (Detailed perk proc info: 90% chance to earn credits. 2% chance to earn a large amount of credits and a sealed Action Figure. 8% chance to earn either an unsealed or sealed Action Figure. UC enemies include Ecliptic, Spacers, Crimson Fleet, Freestar Collective, and House Va'ruun.)

Compatibility:

Fully compatible with the McClarence Outfitters Creation, with a patch available to add the new effects to Jason. This mod is meant to be paired with Legendary 4 Star - No VFX and Sounds. Has not been tested with any other Legendary effect overhauls or additions at this time.

The Mirrored changes feature the same values as my "Legendary Perk Buff - Mirrored" creation, just merged into the whole package. Changes similar to those made by the Legendary Boostpack Stutter Fix mod is also essentially rolled into this mod, with permission from the author. Remove either mod if you're using it.

To-Do:

All balancing is not final and the effects are subject to chance based on feedback. I have at least one or two more ideas for effects, including a 4-star Freestar-themed weapon addition
