Discovery Feature Survey - No.2

[Flo]

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

Stinger has some texture porblems. There have been tecture problems with following ships when I was flying the Stinger: Virage, Tigershark, BH Gunship.

2) What do you think about codename weapon balance? How should location of codename wrecks change in the next release?

I just buy them...

3) What ships require a hitbox change?

Mjolnir is the master of hitbox-problems:)

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.

As far as I know the ships with that "weakness" are usually more agile. If that superiour agility would still be there after the change to only one hull root it would be a great disadvantage for the "new" 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)?

I don't even know the hitpoints of my own ship:)

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.

No idea. I don't fight (high level) NPCs very often.

7) Which areas of Sirius have too many NPCs? Specify exact locations you are observing in the current mod version.

The jumpgate from Sigma 19 (? the one with Luxury Liner Hawaii in it) to Sigma 17 is sometimes crowded with 10+ freelancer NPCs.

8) Consequences of which RP event you consider worth including into the next mod version? What should be included? Name only ONE event.

None. It is fine as it is.

9) What do you think about removing Campaign SP compatibility from Discovery (not Open SP compatibility)?

If it would improve the MP part - sure why not?

10) What is your attitude to possible inflation of credit cards that would prevent cheating with those?

I never use them, so I have no idea here.

12) What should be done about Nova cannon and other bomber weaponry?

"Make them less effective aginst fighters." But since that would make them less effective against every other shipclass....no idea

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).

Fighter missiles don't hit often enough. I know I should "learn how to use missiles correctly", but I think that is not the way what missiles were intented to be.

14) What new IDs would you suggest to add? What ID changes you consider necessary?

Only new thing I would like would be a "Mercenary" tag;).
Generic pirates/militay should not be allowed to fly anything bigger than a gunboat (if that is nor already the case)
