RE: New features - BOB - 11-03-2013
Sorry about my incorrect placement of the thread, it does make sense to put it here instead.

I'm hoping to get a ship that I can pile all 3 of these things into, probably a large military liner, perhaps the Bretonian one, always liked that ship.
Where do I get these things from? I notice player bases have been disabled and someone stated earlier that that's where you buy them from.
Do I just wait for the player bases plugin to be fixed?

Go on the marketplace, people sell them there, although they are more expensive than usual, as the supply has been cut off with POBs. Also bear in mind that some jumpdrives and hyperspace scanners require lots of power, and so can only be mounted on caps. Not sure what they point of having a slot for them on ships that cant use them is...
And if you have all 3 pieces of equipment on one ship, you wont have much cargo space left for fuel or armour, its a balancing act.
RE: New features - Valrin - 11-03-2013
You can find people that sell them in the Market Place here on the forums.
With player bases off they might be harder to find since no one can make new ones right now.
Edit: What they said up there ^
RE: New features - BOB - 11-03-2013
Thanks for the info. I think I may just wait for the POBs to come back. sounds cool to go buy them from somones base. I'll get my ship all setup and repped in the meantime. Also wont hurt to make a few extra credits.
Not too worried about cargo space, probably wont bother with Armour. Just going to be a Liner, maybe I can evacuate the Queen in it when the Gallics come knocking on her door
Or maybe I'll leave the docking module for the liner and put it on something else.

Jump drive won't work on a liner. Maybe a Scanner, but I don't think so. Docking Module and Cloak will if you have the slots for them.
RE: New features - Hone - 11-04-2013
Yeah my friend has a royal liner with a cloak, 2 docking modules, and a cap8, and he still has enough fuel space to cloak for several minutes at a time.
RE: New features - Pancakes - 11-04-2013
I've got one like Hone mentioned, with MOX you can stay cloaked for about 10 minutes or so
RE: New features - BOB - 11-04-2013
So Jump drives will only work on Battelships? I hate battleships, they're just stupid :P
it should work on ships that claim to be like deep space explorers and stuff.
What about cruisers? I've had my eye on that Zoner explorer corvo for a long time.
Edit: I had a look on the wiki now, and all the liners have "1 hyperspace module"
RE: New features - SummerMcLovin - 11-04-2013
Heavy Transports and Liners can mount them for safe transport, but they don't have the power to use them (this applies to Jump drives and Hyperspace Scanners).
Generally, everything that has a Countermeasure Dropper slot can use a cloak (perhaps with some unfortunate cases where they are at the bottom of the cargo listings for their class - small transports and gunboats).
Battleships can use all this equipment since they have powerful enough cores and the cargo space to carry and fuel them. Some Battlecruisers can use jumpdrives (although they need a separate fuel source, given cargo limitations), and are pretty good for scanning. Cruisers can scan but need a fuel source.

Thanks, good answer.
