Discovery 4.82 Beta features, bugs & suggestions

[Zukeenee]

@David:
Yeah... I guess I mean the "vacuum cleaner"... but I don't really see how it resembles a vacuum cleaner, anyway. I still have to say that it's one of my favorite Vanilla ships, in terms of how it looks. But just wait until you see the Behemoth...


As for other suggestions, is there any way that we can change the titles on some of the NPCs on bases? For example, when you scroll over the bartender at Corfu, his tag comes up saying "Freeport 9 bartender", because Corfu was based off of Freeport 9. The same goes for ship dealers, equipment dealers, commodity dealers, and bar patrons. Is there any way to make these tags accurate to the bases that their at, or is this another silly "can't be changed" thing that I'm bringing up?

And another: Some asteroid fields are labeled strangely on the NavMaps. When I click on the imformation button for "The Barrier" in Magellan, I get the info card for water. I've seen a few fields that do the same thing. They seem to give you information on whatever item can be mined from the field, but not the field itself.

I do belive Zuk, that they can be changed, but it takes time and effort, so mods usually like taking old bases and Just making copies.

Liek the way all the rheinland abttleships are based off the Wesyfalen, it would take a VERY long time to make new NPCs for the inside of those Battleships.

Probably already suggested, but I don't want to spend 8 hours looking for it...

The cargo icon for captured Golden C. pilots should be a chick.

Well, I'm not saying to make new NPCs, just type in a new name for them. Doesn't sound that hard, but then again, I'm not the one modding the thing...

As for the GC pilots, I don't think we have much control over that. I think we got the new pilot icons from some other mod or something. Besides, they're so small, how can you be sure that it's not a girl?

when I say vaccum cleaner, listen to the way she sounds when you go to cruise, to me that sounds like a vaccum cleaner.

Dab! Where have you been? You haven't posted in, like... days. That's not like you. :P

Dad's house.. Dialup.. It sucks, its slow, I hate it. Did alot of system editing instead, and now I have Vespucci done. Oh, and replaced my stolen avatar with a better one. Haha Vic.:P

For the missile issue, we need to increase speed and accuracy, it sucks to be killed by a bomber. BTW, CDs suck. Battleship CDs do not work at all. I have had several occurences which i fired like 15 at 1500 meters, and a BS at cruise outran them. How is that right?

I've made a post about this before. No cruise disrupter can catch a vessel at cruise. Train Disrupter says 700-800 but only goes 300. If you go to cruise, engine kill, then fire. You'll quickly pass your own disrupter.

This is my first post on the Discovery Forums, one problem is, i am not quite sure if it is a mod up-grade thing, or has allways been in the discovery universe.

Why does the Dromedary, have less cargo capacity than the Vanilla FL?

Vanilla FL 275 cargo capacity

Discovery 215 cargo capacity

This was changed awhile back. The Dromedary was an earlier ship than the humpback, more agile, and as heavily armed. So its cargo was taken down, and the most sluggish vanilla freighter was given the most cargo space.

I do believe Zuk, that they can be changed, but it takes time and effort, so mods usually like taking old bases and Just making copies.

Like the way all the Rheinland battleships are based off the Westfalen, it would take a VERY long time to make new NPCs for the inside of those Battleships.

Actually, as long as the base has less than 10 people in it, it takes about 2-3 minutes to change them all to the proper names. You make the base and copy the NPCs. Then you go into Base Characters, select the bartender, replace (for example:) Freeport 9 with Freeport XV. Copy Freeport XV so you can paste it later. Then hit update. One guy done. Select the next, highlight Freeport 9, hit ctrl+v and it'll replace it with Freeport XV. I did it on all my Vespucci and Omicron-74 bases. And did it on the two existing bases. Replaced Zoner rep to Zoner Guard on them too, same with Hackers, to Hacker Guard. Took 4 minutes per base (name, and reputation/alignment). 4 bases in each system. 4x4=16 minutes. Now the other plethora of things took me about 22-23 hours. All in 4 days. So in camparison, doesn't take much time..

...The Dromedary was an earlier ship than the humpback, more agile, and as heavily armed. So its cargo was taken down, and the most sluggish vanilla freighter was given the most cargo space....

The Dromedary has less armour and lesser class weaponry then the humpback which created more cargo space against the humpback that has more hull armour and heavier weapons which made the cargo space smaller, which made total sense to me when I first played freelancer. And most players have to work to get the Drome (lane hacker neutral) then just too buy the Humpback.

In short the speed and higher cargo capacity and the work needed to get the Drome weighed the same as the easiness to get and strength/power of the humpback that has a slightly less cargo cap.

However, due to the bigger freight ships in the game it's now just a moot point, but frankily now there is really no reason to get the Drome anymore.

Just my thought on it.

XFIRE: JackDHuntr

Send me a message if you wish to try out the AEGIS.

[Dab]

I think the Liberty Frigate is slightly overpowered. It can dodge battleship weaponry due to its small profile, yet can return fire with firepower much stronger than any cruiser or other frigate. The smaller size of the ship do to the thinness should make it be able to sustain less weaponry. So I think the firepower of the frigate, or the power supply, needs to be reduced by a bit. (Ant is gonna kill me... Try to at least.)

[Koolmo]

Lol, Ant has like 5 of those things ATM, hes going to hunt you down RL style and Kill you. I think it should be dropped to a 10 gun frigate, and that BS shield needs to go.
