Impressions of 5.0 to date

[Jean Paul Richter]

Battleships - Unusable, bulky, no engine slide, power core insufficient, mortars broke doing no damage, slow, in some cases BC got more hull than BS that's concerning

BCs- Gun on the back? Really? That was a bad joke, at least if you want to keep it on back, rotation speed should be higher, power core insufficient if you don't use missiles on heavies

Cruisers- Best class so far, balanced and usable.

Gunboats- Overpowered as hell, oneshoting bombers with dual razors? Really? Completely broken and the razor should have at least 5-10% reduced damage, so snubs can at least try to fight!

Transports- Loss of heavy guns in some cases e.g. Bison heavy transport, shields are joke and hull even more, frigates have replaced transports

Snubs- Bombers> Balanced, nice, and deadly as it should be.... Fighters> Missile launchers are finally usable, bringing nice balance to the game

Systems- Too many collapsed JHs and way to many unstable JH where nothing bigger than snub can pass, Lets say it could have been looked more into it

Story- I actually don't care about that atm, so good/bad makes no difference

Jump Drives- JD opening jumpholes so people can jump, absolutely amazing... However ship number limit should be removed because its ridiculous.... I like the fact its limited to max 3 systems.

Docking Modules- Finally Im enjoying them so fucking much, only thing is 10s ''wait'' for a dock should be removed so in PVP people can insta dock and undock without risking to die... Plus I would personally add a timeout after you undocked to dock again, like 1-2min or so, so it cannot be abused

Cloaks-Havent tried them yet but if its true that you have proximity uncloak, that is a big bs and should be removed, at that point cloak disruptors lose their purpose, in any case its enough to wait for a ship to come near the station and it will uncloak by itself

POBs-Unsustanable and money sink since economy as it is now its pure crap (I'm sorry for being honest no offence to anyone)

Sieges- Have no clue, I haven't done one yet

Economy- Routes are joke, mining is dead, lets say turn-around routes are non existend, profit is poor for time you invest in, commodities are way to expensive... This was engineered very very badly (no offence to anyone)

PVE- Missions are not profitable, encounters- good luck spawning one, and if you manage to do so good luck surviving, those 2-3 battlezones that are left stop working when there are too many players which in my opinion is absurd... You should take care of the server hardware/software to make sure it doesn't crash when it too much under load instead of trying to cut players fun.

Server- Random crashes because it can.... if you are in some sort of battle with other factions you lose RP because server broke.... Seems like a serious problem to me keeping in mind that Discovery server is manly RP.

Overall take- lets say its 65% bad 35% good... there are many room for improvements and Im more then sure devs, mods and admin team will do their best to fix all of this... and most of all don't forget to listen to community needs.

EDIT (quick one)- NPC collision avoidance system should be looked into since they are still colliding with capital vessels and its annoying, frustrating and completely disorienting.

P.S. AS I TOLD BEFORE THAT, WHAT I JUST SAID IS SEEN FROM OBJECTIVE POINT OF VIEW, IM NOT POINTING MY FINGER AGAINST ANYONE AND IM NOT TRYING TO INSULT ANYONE. IT JUST HONEST OPINION ABOUT THINGS THAT WERE IMPLEMENTED IN 5.0.
