This beta corrects most bugs and mistakes that were so far found in Discovery 4.81, including pathway crash issue that was the main reason of all recent server crashes. Gaining good reputation with Guardians will be easier now, but starting credits were reduced to 500 thousand and will gradually reduce in future. Beta 3 also introduces 6 new ships to Discovery.
Note that this is yet a beta, so modification bugs and errors shouldn't be a rare thing. Report every issue that you find, even if it seems unimportant, in our Bugs and Suggestions thread.
- New ships:
Container Transport
Liberty Carrier
Manta (Advanced Hammerhead)
Raven's Talon
Whale
Zoner Dreadnought
- Fixed bugs that caused server crashes while setting waypoints through certain systems.
- Dropping multiple pilots from certain ships enabled.
- Some changes made regarding ship and weapon balance.
- Reputation modifiers for Guardian factions changed.
- Miner ship model changed.
- Clientside and serverside performance improved.
- More bugs and infocard errors corrected.
Two of the new ships, Zoner Dreadnought and Liberty Carrier, are very large and won't undock reliably from certain planets. It is known that some planets damage capital ships more than others. Generally, the larger is the planet, the more reliable is undocking. If you are not sure and playing on a server, better ask your fighter colleagues to get what you wish from planets, cause with increased battleship prices repair costs are really painful.
