Discovery 4.86 - Update 4 Released

[Cryer Pharmaceuticals!]

Full Change List
- Solar deathzones made into dual layer
- All suns given a layered deathzone - 2K of low damage, then you die quite quickly

Omega 41's sun now has this, but the autopilot doesn't know/care, and will kill you if you try and fly eg Theta to 5 like I just did:(


PS otherwise awesome update etc

Price: 5539750 - "Hercules" Civilian Base Construction Platform
The Base Construction Platform contains specialist nano manufacturing and assembly equipment to construct and deploy the core components of a base. To construct a base, polymers, industrial goods, basic and super alloys, optronics, cryocubes and nuclear devices are required. Once the base core is deployed conventional base construction using personnel on board the base can begin.

Thanks for trying to make my game time more enjoyable.

Docking caps with tradelanes seems to be working freakin Yay.

FL Companion import is working.

Turret steering keys dont appear to have been fixed--its still different behavior for horizontal and vertical panning.

Was the new faction-specified tech balance system implemented? Nothing in the readme about it.

Interesting that armor cargo sizes were reduced. Good fix.

Were any of the ship balance changes implemented? I don't see anything different except that LMs may take more energy?

RM missions in Dresden went from 10k-100k to 250k-900k :eyes: but difficulty seems the same

So much <3 <3 <3

As Ursus said, the turret steering still seems to be bugged.

Corsair NPCs in O49 are weaker but are still beating the crap out of Zoner NPCs. Zoner NPCs are leaving behind large clouds of bots and bats.

When I click on them, my "Carrier bay" and "Equipment type 1" slots say "THis is a fighter/heavy fighter shield hard point".

Can you even fit 100 of each of those on the Heavy Lifter?

From Skype:

GETTING STARTED

So you want to build yourself a piece of prime Disco real estate? Good for you! To construct the basic kit, you will need the following:

1) Fly around a Heavy Lifter - now renamed the Base Construction Platform (check the Wiki for purchase details).

2) You will to put the following commodities in the Heavy Lifter's hold:
140 Polymers
140 Industrial Materials
100 Basic Alloy
140 Super Alloy
50 Optronics
50 Cryocubes
30 Nuclear Devices

3) Fly out to where you want to put the base. When the base appears - it will appear about 200 meters in front of you - with the docking bays facing you. You do not get a chance to reposition your base - so be 100% sure of where you want it put.

4) Once you are sure you are ready to deploy your base, type the following FLHook command:

/base deploy <password> <base name>
Where <password> is your master admin password (no spaces, no character limit imposed), and <base name> is the displayed name of your base (spaces allowed, 60 characters max).
This is good for you, yes?

Almost. I'm getting help, though. So not really sure tbh..

But what I think will happen is once we have all the stuff......... nothing will happen. xD

We'll probably need to put a command like /make station or something. Either it's an obvious command, or we wait till the guide is released.

Costing how many $$$ credits?

None?

Will they survive Server restarts?

:L what happens when you leave the server
