Discovery Feature Survey - No.2

[AdamantineFist]

1) In what ships did you observe texture replacement bugs? What other ships are bugged and should be replaced?
Arwing and Civilian Bomber are the only two that I know are bugged.

2) What do you think about codename weapon balance? How should location of codename wrecks change in the next release?
Eh... I don't care either way. Fix up the Defiler, though. That way we can have a shield-busting code.

3) What ships require a hitbox change?
Kusari Explorer, Albatross, Catamaran/RedCatamaran, Lib GB, Slipstream, Nomad Assassin, Raven's Claw, Raven's Talon, Stinger, Taiidan HF, Virage, and Firefly.

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.
Don't like it. I'd personally rather we have all ships like Vanilla ships, but I understand that that's a lot of work.

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)?
Um... I dunno... no change, I'd say.


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.
Sounds good. Gah, MORE hull? That's a scary thought...


7) Which areas of Sirius have too many NPCs? Specify exact locations you are observing in the current mod version.
Sigma 19->Sigma 17 jumgate has evil, raping swarms of Freelancers. NOT nice.


8) Consequences of which RP event you consider worth including into the next mod version? Name only ONE event, and post WHAT should be included.
Molly Independance. All that jazz about MOllies no longer enemied, not more Molly pirates, etc.


9) What do you think about removing Campaign SP compatibility from Discovery (not Open SP compatibility)?
It don't matter no more! Get rid of da SP!


10) What is your attitude to possible inflation of credit cards that would prevent cheating with those?
Uh... what? I don't understand the question. How do people cheat? Inflation? Whaaa?



11) What do you think about decreasing all prices 10 times so that 2 billion credit limit actually becomes 10 times larger?
Uh... sounds nice.


12) What should be done about Nova cannon and other bomber weaponry?
Make lots of dem! For every1! Use that proposal about giving a unique one to everyone.


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).
Well, if we're gonna be lowering refires... everything lower than BS is nice. BS missiles need a bit more speed, though, to compensate for the lack of thruster. If we're gonna make vanilla ships in one piece, though... maybe higher damage on fighter missiles? The other missiles already have good damage.


14) What new IDs would you suggest to add? What ID changes you consider necessary?
ALL those ID thingies in that ID proposal. With nice shiny new terrist IDs for the Bundschuh and Gaians, and freaky new Guard IDs.
