Discovery Freelancer Patch 4.88.6 Capital Ship Changes

[Antonio]

Cruiser Razor - REMOVED

Could you please stop messing around with the hardpoints and weapons in every single patch? The Wraith turret HP for example. Somebody had the great idea to put it on the cargobay doors. And then it got reverted to its former position again.
Everytime when somebody is asking me for access to shared ships i have to say: "No, they are broken due to the last patch and i need to unlock and fix them again."
It took me a lot of time to set up these ships and even more to get them locked. First the gunboats and now the cruisers. The next patch will revert the changes again and i can unlock the ships anew.

It seems you don't know how ship lock works. Regardless of the lock level (1 or 2), guns and equipment can always be changed. Yes, you get the kick message, but it doesn't actually kick you and the changes go through, so your whole "fixing" is not fixing anything at all. Any cruiser razors you have mounted automatically get replaced with gatlings, and if you don't like those you can, again, just unmount them, disregard the kick message and mount the wanted guns.

Outcast Gunship

-Turn rate: 34.85 -> 37.24
-Hull: 97 000 -> 125 000

Tridente used to be a very scary gunboat years ago. After the upscale, it never got the proper stats to reflect the new model. We're finally giving it some love to make it decent again.

Seeing that the IMG Gunboat was not mentioned (and likely not touched), I have serious doubt that it will be any good at fighting the main opponent. The multi-gunner OC Gunship is already beating fat, massive easy-to-hit IMG GBs routinely, and now the OC one gets buffed a lot.

We talked about this already. IMG gunboat, although might seem big, is not big at all. In fact, it's smaller than the Tridente (although it does have a worse shape), and Tridente having 8 guns doesn't matter since their arcs are significantly worse than on the IMG gunboat which overall results in them having almost identical arcs (6 guns shooting to the front, 4 to the sides, 2 down, 4 up, 5 or 6 back). They're also dead even in terms of hull and regens and Tridente is faster for half a degree, which is negligible. The IMG gunboat is perfectly balanced and doesn't need any changes.
