Discovery Feature Survey - No.2

[mwerte]

1) In what ships did you observe texture replacement bugs? What other ships are bugged and should be replaced?
not my area of expertise

2) What do you think about codename weapon balance? How should location of codename wrecks change in the next release?
not my area of expertise

3) What ships require a hitbox change?
not my area of expertise

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.
finally, I'm tired of being mine-rammed in my saber by a non-vanilla ship.

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)?
other then the missile hit instakill I think the fighters I fly are fairly well balanced.

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.
halve the frequency of their use of shield bats and hull bots and decrease the hull.

7) Which areas of Sirius have too many NPCs? Specify exact locations you are observing in the current mod version.
The JH from Eta into Alpha. And pretty much the entire OC side of the minefield in Eta. The minefield is -said- to keep the Corsairs out. Except the 400 that jump you on your trip to Palmero.

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.
The Molly/Bretonian truce

9) What do you think about removing Campaign SP compatibility from Discovery (not Open SP compatibility)?
to my knowledge Campaign SP is already unplayable due to missions not being recorded as completed/other glitches. We've just been limiting what Discovery can do to honor a -dead- SP storyline. If I want to play SP I can always turn disco mod off.

10) What is your attitude to possible inflation of credit cards that would prevent cheating with those?
11) What do you think about decreasing all prices 10 times so that 2 billion credit limit actually becomes 10 times larger?
I fail to see what this would acomplish other then giving players with many millions a bigger advantage over new players.

12) What should be done about Nova cannon and other bomber weaponry?
Well, for starters use Claypth's new SN guns. Maybe dropping the radius of the Nova Torp so that it's harder to self-kill with it?

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).
not my area of expertise

14) What new IDs would you suggest to add? What ID changes you consider necessary?
not my area of expertise
