Discovery 4.83 Beta 1 Release

[Malaclypse 666]

Bug: The Spyglass scanner has the same Infocard of the Discovery Scanner.

Stopped by Pittsburgh to pick up a small transport for the Harris Event.

Was surpised/pleased to see that Small Transport can now mount new 100K Lvl 8 Adv Transport Shield!

BUT!! Was also offerred LVL 8 Gunboat shields! Didn't look at stats on strength, but at 1 Mil more in cost over new Adv Transport, I'd imagine they're pretty hefty.

I did the honest thing.. but I think the offer of Gunboat shields for a transport is a glitch, eh?

Glitch indeed! coz the train still only allows L.7 shield.

Yes, I think raven mentioned this one awhile back, but I though he was talkinging about the LTrain, and couldn't figure it out...

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

Omega 11 has some weird bug that can be exploited, in an specific sector (can't remmember exact location), enemy ships just stands there like sitting ducks.

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
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

Nope. Here's the proof:

And it happened AGAIN in the same mission:

Note that the ships will move towards you, then declare that there's "No Hostiles In Area" and return to that position. If you get very close (Id say, 300 or less), they'll engage you.

Hey all, new to the forum, play this on a private server with some friends. Was anything going to be done to improve the Liberty Gunboat turret firing arcs? We havn't upgraded to 4.83 yet, so I can't check for sure, but I didn't see anything about it in the changelogs. Sooo.... Great mod too by the way, and huge congats on the Mod of the Year award - that's how I found this mod and got my friends into it in the first place. Keep up the great work!

Not sure if this was mentioned but maybe someone should take a look at the Miner (cargo transport) bought on Planet Junyo in Shikoku.

It's got 1400 cargo space, sport 10 lvl 8 gunboat turrets (8 forward ones), a LVL 9!!!!??? cruiser shield, 900!!! nb/sb (yep, that's right, 900!!) and 500k energy generator! Holy crap! Except for the slow turn rate, this thing fights better than a gunboat and has the endurance of a cruiser ++. All for the low cost of under 10 million credits.

I was totally destroying the nomad fighters in the omicrons/unknown until a bs came along.

[onca]

Downding: I think the word here my friend is "Role Play".... just because a leaky mining tub can mount capship shields and weps, turning it into the 1337 ub3r pwnz0r, doesn't mean you should. We've been thru this before with transports and especially liners. Probably just an oversight on the part of the mod designers, and should be tightened up in the next version.

I noticed this very important thing about the Rheinland Bomber today. All of its guyns have a 360 degree firing Arc. As you can see, I have no turrets equiped so these are not turrets firing. This needs to be fixed, Pitcures shown here:



I also want to make a note, you can make Rheinland Battle razors as follows:

I think that Igiss took the brentonian Battleship gun and made it into the BR. Why can't he also take these BS stationary guns and make them for the Rheinland and the Kusari type for a Kusari BR? Just a thought.
