Discovery Feature Survey - No.2

[Ion]

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

if possible, more in the taus would be good, perhaps around the new systems.

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.

yes, please, as the opposite is not an option. As it stands non-vanilla ships have an unwritten advantage.

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)?

balance them alongside current non-vanilla alternatives, perhaps favoring the vanilla ship slightly.

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.

If you can make it so NPCS use all batts/botts at once, similar to players, do that, if it cannot be done, leave as is.

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.

Liberty and rheinland conflict escalating to near or into hostility. perhaps a trade embargo and NPC blockade.

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

remove it, it is very difficult anyway. perhaps release a SP only version of disco (this version?) for later users who want to go through disco campaign.

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).

increase the speed slightly and decrease the range respectively. this will give a better chance for fighters to purposefully dodge them, while making them more effective on someone ignoring. decrease refire rate.
