RE: A dev's log. - Hone - 11-29-2012
Thanks guys, Ive always wondered about that. Aert I think its good you sorted out that "BS as freighter" stuff. But I have to agree with Ursus that the list is a bit funky;
For instance Id say theres more value distinguishing between Heavy bombers (ones that can mount freighter shields and 3 CDs) and normal bombers, than Gunboats and Gunships. And as You and I have pointed out, No point in differentiating Dreadnaughts and BSs, or Cruisers and Destroyers, unless you plan on turning the Heavy Destroyers like the Bret one into Battlecruisers, and renaming the lib dread, ect. Also I dont think any class should be bigger than a train class. How about;
Transport
Train
Super Train
Hyper Train
Apart from that it looks nice and handy, thanks!
P.S: Would Geb be Battlecruiser or Carrier?

It's (currently) balanced like a Battlecruiser; inRP it is a Light Carrier.

My guess is it will be listed as a battlecruiser. Just like the Rheinland Battleship will be listed as a Dreadnaught, and the Liberty Dreadnaught will be listed as a Battleship.

The Geb will be classified as a Carrier, since that is it's role. I'm also checking with Blodo to see if we can turn the Geb into a fullfledged (but low hull) Carrier with battleship class weaponry and a light BS core. It's sized for it anyway.
RE: A dev's log. - Omicron - 11-30-2012
I guess thruster will be lost in morphing into BS but it will be ok I guess if balance team takes into note its sheer size - bigger and bulkier than Osiris.
RE: A dev's log. - Mercarryn - 11-30-2012
Not only Thruster will be removed, the Cruiser disruptor will also have to go if the Geb is moved to the battleship class.
But, to my mind, that is necessary, because the Geb really is one of those ships that should be in that class due to its size and movement.
Giving it a light bs core might bring it on the same level the Aquilon, just with lower hull. Maybe in exchange give the Geb a bit more firepower compared to the Aquilon, othewise we might have 2 ships with the same role and almost same stats which can be used by Order ID, that would be redundant.
Just my 2 cent...
*EDIT*
About Resesheph loosings the side antennae: A bit sad, to my mind they made the cruiser what it is. Where will the Countermeasures, that were placed on them, now be?

Aft section, where CM launchers belong. Specifically, below the "windows" that portrude from the engine cowling.

Dev update:
- Finally finished the ship model fixes. This should fix a ton of bugs, and hopefully the lag as well.
- Started working on the solars (stations and station component, as well as any other nonship models). Found a glitch in the player bases which could be a major contributer to the lag encountered while sieging these bases - part of the hitboxes for the doors isn't correct. Doubt that'll be the only glitch...

Keep up the hard work! ;D
