Discovery Feature Survey - No.2

[RonG777]

1) In what ships did you observe texture replacement bugs? What other ships are bugged and should be replaced?


2) What do you think about codename weapon balance? How should location of codename wrecks change in the next release?
I feel that codenames should be more balanced and spread across sirrus for all factions to have access to them without having to leave their Z.O.I.

3) What ships require a hitbox change?


4) What is your attitude to possible integration of all Vanilla ship components into the hull root? This means that Vanilla ships will have only one component, like all new ships, and will take same splash/missile damage.
I feel that this needs done, in order to be fair for all ships. This will promote more use of Vanilla ships.

5) How the ship hit points should be rebalanced if all components of Vanilla ships will be integrated into one (so the original ships would have only one component, like all new ships)?
Not sure on this, I guess accordingly to their size, ship class, and origin.

6) What do you think about complete disabling of NPC shield and hull repairs? Decrease of NPC ship strength will be compensated with better shields and reinforced hull where necessary.
I agree. This will shorten time on missions, (and possible strain on server) and by increasing shields and hull, will still give challenge for NPCs.

7) Which areas of Sirius have too many NPCs? Specify exact locations you are observing in the current mod version.
I feel if the NPC batts. /botts. Regen. is wiped, then NPC population shouldnt be a problem.

8) Consequences of which RP event you consider worth including into the next mod version? What should be included? Name only ONE event.
Not going to pick any in particular, any major faction diplomacy between opposing forces that the community has accepted in role-play.

9) What do you think about removing Campaign SP compatibility from Discovery (not Open SP compatibility)?
Well, I know Discovery has always incorporated Campaign, but many people in the community convinced me that this mod has come to a point where Campaign is holding Discovery back. Perhaps it is time to let go the campaign mode.

10) What is your attitude to possible inflation of credit cards that would prevent cheating with those?
Not sure on this.

11) What if all/most armor upgrades are removed and replaced with special expensive money-saving item (similar to credit cards, but without the risk of losing it)?
Not sure what you mean here. But many in the community, I feel, wants their armor upgrades.

12) What should be done about Nova cannon and other bomber weaponry?
Perhaps it needs a slight decrees in their volatility against battleships.

13) How would you suggest to balance the missiles for fighters, gunboats, cruisers, and battleships? Note that refire rates for most missiles will be lowered anyway, since missiles are known to be a source of server lag (multiple moving objects).
The volatility in some missiles need increased to inflict more damage to other fighters in my opinion.

14) What new IDs would you suggest to add? What ID changes you consider necessary?
Any new major faction that has been in place for some time. Also, Please keep the Nova PG ID. The faction is still strong and I believe that it will be sorted soon.
