Bullet Drop

Description
Tweaks the projectile physics to allow bullet drop to exist in Starbound. Every projectile that uses the 'Laser' projectile physics will be affected by gravity. Since noone else has done it I took the liberty to spend 10 minutes on this. This also breaks wands and a few other projectiles that use the 'laser' physics.

The bullet drop isn't exactly Starbound: Reality but isn't too extreme that it's grenade physics levels of drop. Bullet Drop isn't as noticeable in close range battles (such as the max range of 2x zoom). 1x zoom is recommended if you want to utilize this.

Shooting bullets into water will just cause it to slowly sink, making underwater combat slightly harder and more melee-based. Unfortunately they still do the same damage because Starbound's damage is static and not based on velocity.

Q: But Projectile Physics mod is already on the Chucklefish Forums.
A: That mod is outdated and bullet drop was too extreme.

Q: Is it compatible with FU,
A: Technically.

How does this impact Galaxy in conflict weaponry?

@AtomicDragon

No can do as of right now. You can blame chucklefish for reusing the same physics template for every projectile which I simply modified to change the bullets (which run on "laser" like most projectiles).

I also have too much work to do on my other mods to effectively spend time on this tiny mod.

I found a bug. This mod effects also the flame traps and the geyser on volcanic planets.
Can you remove this or make is less effected,because i think the flame drops to fast?

@Es rappelt im Karton

He probably means as in vertical directional facing, like looking up and down instead of only left and right. Eh, not like I can do anything myself.

Isn't that already a thing tho?

after all, we all bought the game, so we deserve this little gift for them :D
