Auto Credit Based on Ephwurd's Halcyon

My first attempt on xml modded colors (Tan, metallic olive and battleship gray). Enjoy!

AG1 to manually launch torpedoes



First entered service in 2537, the Halcyon was mostly used in long-range missions against planetside or orbital targets. Equipped with 5 fusion torpedoes, the Halcyon was the go-to vessel for quickstrike missions where only one pass was needed to eliminate the target. While it had excellent speed, stealth tech and payload capacity, it lacked sufficient defensive countermeasures to be able to hold its own. Its poor maneuverability made it an easy target amongst air superiority fighters and flying solo in a Halcyon usually meant death to its pilot. The Halcyon became popular in 2540 after its successful mission against one of the largest lunar orbital platform, which tipped the tide of battle for the next 12 years.

    @DeezDucks at the very bottom of your planes xml file you will find a bunch of hexadecimal color values. I changed the dominant color( the color that covers most of my plane) with a different color

    @RMark1 about resizing whole planes, i don't think thats easy. Youre going to have to scale up every part, detach and reattach them

    @RMark1 resizing engines can be done by scaling; scale="x,y,z" , engine power can be edited by changing the value of powerMultiplier at your engine's string. Colors can be found at the bottom of the xml file. You can change the given colors with any color you want (hexadecimal values) and its sheen, smoothness and reflectiveness can be edited by changing the r, m, & s values

    @RMark1 you're going to need a text editor app if you're on mobile and notepad if you're on PC

    @RMark1 xml modding is simple if you know what properties you are going to modify. For example, scale="x,y,z" allows you to scale up or scale down a part

    @RMark1 In my universe humanity has learned that using AIs to replace humans in doing menial jobs was a terrible idea, so they put strict regulations on that
