Elithian Races Addon: Profane Arbalest

Description
Profane Arbalest
"A heavy linebow once Vhalakin, now rid of its former beauty."

A powerful modified Vhalakin Longbow from Elithian Races Mod, sporting dual violated line arrow bursts, with an ion volley alternate ability!

PLEASE NOTE
Like most of my weapons, this is NOT clientside, if you wish to play with this weapon with a friend or on a server, both you and your friend or server must also be subscribed to this mod. It may be changed in the future if any incompatibilities are found.
It IS compatible with FU and REQUIRES Elithian Races Mod

Primary Ability
- When not charged the bow fires a single violated line arrow
- When fully charged fires 2 arrows in a burst that explode inflicted violated line burn
- The arrows have powerful homing, however the radius at which it tracks enemies are tight meaning it can still miss
- Faster charge up than the Vhalakin Longbow however has less damage per arrow

Special Ability
- A longer charge that fires an arrow that has 2 smaller arrows orbiting it again if fully charged fires 2 in a burst else only 1
- Functions similarly to the primary with weaker homing
- Essentially a modified version of Elithian Races Mod's "Corruptor's Bow"

Obtaining the Weapon
- Can be obtained from the avikan unique weapon caches like others for now
- Later on in ERM development the weapon will be obtained differently
- ID : "avikan-profanearbalest"

Other Things to Note
- Fresh weapon, bound to be bugs
- Changes and balancing will be done in the future based off of feedback
- Designed as a violated vhalakin longbow with the thelean violated style
- Features its own unique equipment collection entry, under 123!
- Unique sound effects for drawing the string for both alt and primary, a new fire sound and loop sound
- Suggestions for new effects or new violated weapons are accepted
- Thumbnail is temporary!
- As it was tested on the early phases of the new update of ERM the mod may not work publically, if this is true, let me know asap!

Recent Updates:
- Fixed an issue with using a particle from a future build of ERM
- Fixed the primary and alt only using energy on the first projectile
- Balancing
- Nerfed damage a bit due to burst fire
- Increased time to draw on both abilities ever so slightly
- Made primary ability fire the burst faster
- Increased knockback on the alt
- Minor edits to prices - merit token value increased from 100 to 115
- Reduced drop rate from avikan unqiue weapon caches from 1 to 0.8
- Increased inaccuracy of the alt ability

So... You want to talk to me?
You've seen my work and want some help with modding, some knowledge on my work, or maybe you want a commission to have your own custom weapon made for you? You can find me at CaptainRumBarrels' Discord server[discord.gg], or at the Elithian Alliance Discord server! Theres also the forge, official starbound server and a few others, I frequently post updates of my weapons and new stuff I have got planned! I chat with people frequently on these servers too, helping people and answering questions. I do accept friend requests on steam and discord however I would prefer you talking to me via discord servers or in the comments of any of my mods or profile!
Now I do not play starbound, only mod it, which means balancing will be off at some points and I will not play the game with people.

You can support me at Patreon[www.patreon.com], buy me a Ko-fi[ko-fi.com] or just give me money at PayPal[paypal.me]. Since I am a student at university and I am also employed, my time is scarce, so all modding efforts go towards commissions, and paid content. Supporters let me get more creative and have more freedom with my content as I wouldn't be wasting time.

The Thell grow as parasites, being granted mech-like suits to live in and become part of, younger or lower ranked ones generally have less or no mechanical features, while the more important ones have full suits. They're incredibly crafty and unique in their designs.

They wouldn't violate Centens artifacts as they are considered sacred, the one the Thell follow collects them, presumably to find where they went.

We likely won't see more Elithian Races from Aego himself for a long while, I had a rather large addon I was working on a few years ago and Aego had green flagged, it was a lore friendly addon. I abandoned it due to limited resources, if I ever get a stable income from Patreon or something else I may return to it though.

Yea, last I knew the Thell were rather parasitic creatures. Worm-like in form if I remember correctly, certainly not crafter types. This explained their obsession with Ce-tennan tech (speaking of, might you know when we could see some violated Centen artifacts?).

Sort of, its a violated weapon, which is when a Thell hacks and modifies an Avikan weapon.

Isn't this a Thelean weapon?
