Discovery mod v.4.79 bugs&suggestions

[daedalus]

Miner is more suit for stationary mining, too large to surf through asteroid fields.

I've actually already increased loot from asteroids, maybe make it even more? Don't know if it should be done, as not many people are fond of mining.

Maybe increase the value of the mineable commodities.

Tizona del Cid will overcome some changes: level 9 version will have less power, but there will be a new level 10 version that will deal more damage than current Tizona. A Tizona turret (level 9) will also be available.

Can I suggest a name for the level 10 version of Tizona - "Colada del Cid". Colada was another of El Cid's swords, Tizona being the more famous one which is in a Spanish museum.

I think the damage done by Tizona is OK - please don't lower it! We already have Inferno for those wanting an anti-shield fighter. Imagine a fighter with Inferno, plus level 9 *and* 10 pulse weapons... a bit too much?

The hugenot, i losed all the turrets BEFORE HALF OF THE HULL WAS DRAINED!






If you were hit with a Nova(BS weapon stripping torpedo o' doom), then you could easily have lost all of your turrets.

No Virus, i know that, but i was fighting a bs

I don't think that the BS shields/weapons should be changed.

Pretty much each time I dueled Virus in his Cruiser, me in a VHF, I took his shields down then he killed me. Maybe he's just good, maybe I suck, maybe my ship sucks. Not to say Virus isn't good, but I don't think those above reasons are the true ones. Let's think about this. The Nova torp has an explosion range of 200 meters - unless i'm quite mistaken, that's just about as big as the average BS. Maybe bigger, maybe a little smaller, I'm just going off memory for BS size. Don't you think that a torpedo with that huge of an explosion should do extremely decent damage, even to shields? It's as big as their ship. That's why if anything, Nova torps should be increased in damage, not decreased. I understand balance however, which is why I think they just shouldn't be changed.

Let's face it, BS's ARE jsut big targets. It's no terror. That's just the way it should be given what they are. If you want them to take 10 fighters to take down, you'd have to make them a LOT bigger. And a LOT more expensive. As it is, the Lib Dreadnaught isn't a whole lot bigger than a VHF. Sure, several times, but in the vastness of space, that's not a lot. Someone said "in reality" or something like that they are terrors, and that's just not true. Even in the Freelancer SP, which is just about as "reality" freelancer as you get, a couple fighters bearing torps took one down without even getting damaged. It didn't have time to retaliate before it was dead. That was a Rheinland BS, too, which is bretty darn big. Maybe y'all think of, for instance, a Star Destroyer when you think of BS. A single one-man pilot has no chance at all taking one alone, right? Y'know why? Star Destroyers are over a mile long, bristling hundreds on turbolasers. That's why. The so-called Battleships of Freelancer don't compare at all.

Sorry if that sounded like a rant or if I sounded condescending.

[The Damned]

That concurrs all I sayed before - ship or a group of ships are easily battled with a group including variety of ships. If the battle ship has an fighter escort the enemy will think twice before attacking...and besides there is more fun oi playing in groups.

This may have of already been mentioned in a earlier post (I haven't read them all...) but...

Would it be possible, when you are on the comodity screen, or the parts screen etc. of FL, have it so when someone sends you a message the text appears in front of the blue box? I for one find it very difficult to read the green text behind the blue boxes, and find it very annoying that i have to keep closing the blue box down just to read what people have said.

Virus in his BS

I don't own a BS. It was a cruiser. With a LOT of missile turrets. Seven to be precise.

[snapback]11124[/snapback]

Ok, corrected. I bet your anti-fighter cruiser did better than a stock BS would have anyway.

Stock yes. Missile BS, maybe. :\

I purpose special weapons for the Huegenot :
Powerfull Cruiser turrets with Fighter turrets size.
Forgot to mention that BEAM weapons could be great.

Therefore, weapons won't waste the ship !
