Woah wait what, you are replacing the Collector model? Who else even flies the ship besides me, hah. What is this thing, I want to know what it looks like, cause I love my current Collector so much, it has been my main ship for basically the entire time I played the game (since 2008). Can I be humored and shown what this thing will look like?

I can learn to like it I suppose, but I am still honestly in love with the design of the current Collector, even if it stinks in fights at times. This is just the first time someone has changed a ship in this mod that I had any sort of personal interest in... this leaves me feeling somewhat sad I admit.

The current Collector is basically a CSV with some Starflier wings glued onto it. Fly a CSV if you want that feel...
Dev update:
- Done handling station components/solars. Proved less of a job then I thought it would be
- Busy checking for outdated infocards in various regions, and creating tasks for the infocard team to update the infocards where needed.
- I've done a quick check of the craft-to-difficulty and difficulty-to-money configuration files for versus NPC missions. For 4.87, the following table can be used to check what you can expect to fly against:
Code:
; Mission reward to expected craft translation:
; 10.000 - 50.000: Easy LFs
; 50.000 - 200.000: Moderate Lfs to HFs
; 200.000 - 500.000: Challenging HFs and VHFs
; 500.000 - 2.000.000: Challenging VHFs and gunboats
; 2.000.000 - 3.000.000: Gunboats, Destroyers, Cruisers and Battlecruisers
; 3.000.000 - 6.000.000: Destroyers, Cruisers, Battlecruisers, BattleshipsRE: A dev's log. - Mercarryn - 12-11-2012
Nice one, that should make repping for beginners much easier, especially if I think abut the current missions in Mu. A hell if you just want to rep a fighter and have relog in hope to get base destruction missions.
RE: A dev's log. - Unseelie - 12-11-2012
Maybe we'd be better suited making easy hfs. As in, for repping, ships easier to hit...because, even the weak lfs, are still going to be a pain to fly against.

Could there be missions against MK1 freighters?
RE: A dev's log. - AeternusDoleo - 12-12-2012
No, missions will only work against "fighter" types of craft. We even had to define the capital ships a second time as "fighters" in order to make capital missions work. It's a dirty workaround but it does work... Doing so with freighters would be a bit silly. Who'd attack with a pack of 7 freighters? Would be painful too since those things have good all-arc coverages.

The nightmare - a pack of 6 Bactrians with full Belial loadout.
Or kraken droomedaries vs a defender.
RE: A dev's log. - Unseelie - 12-13-2012
Bowex attacks with groups of seven freighters...Its very frightening.
