Discovery 4.86 - Update 3 Released

[equinosz]

Uh! No researcher ID? Why was it replaced by a simple freelancer ID?

The whole Cambridge Stellar Research was based on that. First, you took liners from us. I said, okay, we can still continue with the Corvo and with smaller ships. But now you simply take away the whole researcher? Before we had this:

Pilot carrying this ID is a Freelancer Researcher, who :

1. Can trade. Cannot escort traders.
2. Cannot participate in unlawful actions.
3. Can fire on other ships only in selfdefense.
4. Cannot use any transports with more than 2,000 cargo

And now we can:

fulfill bounty contracts. (uhm, why would a researcher do that?)
May not engage in piracy outside of a posted bounty contract
May treat trade vessels as combat targets in pursuit of bounty contracts (No, thanks we liked the selfdefense part)
Cannot use any transports with more than 3600 cargo

So now, a Vigilante, Independent trader, Mercenary etc. is the same as a researcher?
Sorry, but I really don't like this. We had some privilege by having a distinguished role, and not only a freelancer, who can do anything what he wants.

Here's some links to what we do with those researcher IDs:

Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.
