Here's my Evaluation of Discovery

[Wrath]

As for the gunboat/crusier weapons.... here's my suggestion: leave them as they are, but make them unmountable. Make it so that only the ship they came with has them mounted and if you sell the ship the gun becomes unequipable. Is that possible? The best gunboat has 7 guns, if you just reduce the power it will once again be a pretty worthless ship. This way you can't mount them anywhere else, and the ship has a formidable weapon.

Daedalus has a really good idea with the reduced price of commodities. The problem is that some commodities are already very very cheap. Still it might be a better solution to inflating prices of guns to artificially raise battleship costs.

Sorry , got the name wrong, but he was speaking of coding that exists but is still being finalized..... there is a problem apparently when a station is destroyed that has a character docked there.

Yes, as soup was saying... Basically I think you need to make the 160k shileld be level 10. Additionally only cruisers, gunboats and battleships should be able to mount that level 10 shield. You should be able to reduce one or two of the new freighter sheilds to 8 or 9. That would mean something like a humpback could now equip the 10k shield of the shield that comes with a large transport, but it can't put on the 40k shield or the 80k shield. This would also keep freighter shields down to 40k or 80k which is plenty. Honestly even the 20k shield is hard to lose vs fighters.


One more thing, I would really like to see battleships with faster movement.... say a battleship has base speed of 100, cruisers 120. Don't mess with gunboats much because they have the thruster.
