Discovery 4.82 Beta features, bugs & suggestions

[Igiss]

Cruise speed is a constant, one for all ships. And I'm not in favour of making it more than 350.

As for cruise charge time, well, it has to be one value too. All ships will be 20 secs, if we set it to 20 secs. Moreover, a new sound effect will have to be created, for current effect is 5 seconds long (precisely).

[Nightfall]

Hmm, bugger...

I'd hate to have to fight the occasional 8+ dockrapping Nomads when I jump out of a hole... or some of the Guards... they need 5 secs to blast you out of existence, with some dodging, you'll survive with only shields down... in 20 secs... quite close.

Interdictor Gun then?

The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor

I agree, 350 should be the top speed, but how about a 250 for those times when you want to do little faster though those rocks with a big ship but full cruise just does not work? :cool:

At least Unknown space would not be so crowded - you can buy a lot of goodies on Primus & Gammu so it would be harder.

And what about giving nomads a Nomad Disruptor... ;)

[Korrd]

There is a Nomad CD, but i've never seen it mounted on a NPC, nor for sale.

(Really, I speak terrible English, so please, tell me if I make mistakes. I'd like to improve it a bit )

[Virus]

Could we have "some" kind of gun that uses the "Nomad Laser" turret skin? I don't like the look of REAL guns on my Nomad Fighter. Kind of... Stupid looking. Even if they are Nomad Cannons...

Perhaps one with NO skin whatsoever? Would be good for some of those Rheinland Bombers out there.

Into the Maelstrom - A Measure of Salvation - Reaver Company Database

[KiraYamato]

I did not play this mod yet, but I am hoping for the following content:

-Ships that looks like the original freelancer ones ( I personally prefer Kusari ones)
-Some, not too many, new systems that still look like the others.
-More weapons

And also


Places where we can race for money, I have no clue if thats possible or even already exists, but it would be damn cool. Like you make a bet against another player and the one who win the race wins the money.

[Virus]

Connecticut. There's a race track there. However, the only way you could be sure no one has cheated is to have a referee.

[sunergos]

the anubis info card shows the cargo space to be the stock 70 units, but in practice it is only 66.

@Kira: I'll race you if you find the 'referee' Virus speaks of.. I couldn't find anyone interested in the job, so, either the person is a) dressed in black, b) invisible or c) simply not there.. which all make the person we would be looking for extremely hard to find. Oh yeah, there's a 'd)' but I don't want to go there :P just kidding. Good idea though, up for a race? Find me ingame.

@Igiss:
Liberty Assault Frigate: Hitbox seems to be wrong, you can fly through the fins and it also takes no damage except the general center of it, the same goes for the shield. Almost half that ship nor it's shield doesn't take damage.
Very unfair from the people who fly it not to report the problem.. :nono:

Torpedo mounted guns: could those be made to be fired by the 'Fire Torpedo' button?

Cruise Interdictor Cannon: Hehe, got a nice name for it. Igiss, you didn't say anything about it...Can we please have that?
Something in the lines of:

'The Cruise Interdictor Cannon is an energy weapon that fires a bolt of accelerated hot plasma which upon impact creates a quazi-static field which surrounds the target preventing it from charging the cruise engines. The field effect lasts for 5 seconds.' (I just made this up and I don't know much about physics I just watch a lot Star Trek :lol:)

Required weapon mount: Class 9 mount
Range: ~CruiseDisruptorMissileRange-200
Projectile Speed: 500m/s
Energy usage: ~Kraken2/Wyrm2
Re-fire Rate: ~2-3 shots in 5sec
