Surveyor ship and Reputation.

[JohnyWalker]

Hello pilots!

I noted 2 things:

1. Surveyor still being a miner ship, but now have no miner weapon slot. All are Guns
2. Using my LNS character, i noted my reputation bar its really full green (all boxes, without anyone empty), after destroy 2 Liberty Rogues (NPC) and 1 Outcast (NPC), that bar degraded in 1 box, so almost full less 1 box (like 4.86 reputation bugged bar). AFter some time (i think) when i docked, again restored full.

I hope this 2nd point really dont affect to the real reputation hehehe.

Also... why Freeport 4 (IMG base) is selling Miner ID? Its supossed Miner ID cant dock on DSE or IMG bases (and others dont remember right now...). I think Miner ID would be avaible in Erie for example, just to teach newbies how that works.

As a lot of people know, i really love Pennsylvania and help newbies, but now that task turned much more hard. Erie buying Helium for 200$ only! and i readed some guys complaining about this, "too hard to start without help". (This situation making a lot of new players to reject the server. I saw it 5 times tonight hehe).

Thanks, and safe flying!

1. Light fighter mining guns are already added and their sell points will be sorted with update 4.

2. Faction IDs now adjust your reputation to full green with their own faction and guard. It's working as intended.

3. Helium prices around Pennsylvania was an oversight. Already fixed and will take effect with the next server restart.

I mean, just in this case (my LNS character, i dont know about others sorry), why i lose 1 box reputation after destroy LNS enemies? it should be the opposite, in this case my bar should turn more and more green hahaha, but not less.

Thanks for all!

Long Answer: It's because normally your rep cannot go over +0.9, and that's the maximum rep you can get. Rephacks on IDs override this and give you +1.0 rep every time you undock/relog, so if you do anything that'd effect your rep in the mean time (Destroying an enemy NPC, taking bribes for a friendly faction, etc) it pushes your rep to the "full green" recognized by the game - which is 9 blocks, not 10. ID takes care of this and moves your rep back to 10 blocks green the next time you undock or relog.

Short Answer: FL engine is a mess. Don't take stuff like this seriously.

I just bought a new surveyor, but it still doesn't have the hardpoint for a mining laser. Is this for update 5?
