Discovery Feature Survey - No.2

[Reverend Del]

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

Civilian Bomber.

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

Codes should be randomised, more class 10 faction weapons should be introduced

3) What ships require a hitbox change?

Crow, and most of the ships in the Hitbox request thread.

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.

Would make mines equally dangerous to all, rather than instakillers for a few ships. I'd agree with this motion.

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 know enough about balancing so many ships to make a comment.

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.

NPcs are annoying but then they should be more than just farm animals for bots and bats.

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

None that I have encountered.

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/Bretonian accords. Making the Molly empathy such that they do not open fire on Bretonian NPCs and vice versa.

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

Yes it's holding Discovery's progression back.

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

Define: inflation of credit cards. Then I may be able to answer the question.

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

No. It would simply give those with vast amounts of cash already an even bigger bank balance.

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

Implementing the faction specific Supernovas would be ideal.

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).

Gunboat missiles are way too effective. Either increasing their energy use or making them ammo based. energy use for preference.

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

Kuraine's ID proposals would fix most ID issues.
