Discovery 4.81 features, bugs & suggestions

[Nightfall]

The only reason it gets beaten regularly is because not many people actually use orignal FL ships or mk2 versions because they're using imported ships that don't lose parts when hit by missiles.

However, there does appear to be at least 4 unused mounts on the sabre that are used on the dagger/stilleto... perhaps a bomber version of the sabre to deal with all the kusari navy capships threatening outcast space?

Marauder, the outcome of a Sabre vs Eagle duel was behind this suggestion DO posted. It's clear who won the 'gun only'. I barely dented his shields, but I know that from before. I wasn't bitching about it though. DO posted that while I was scooping my leftovers in the 'Fokke Debris Field'... I think, with enough practice I may be able to beat an Eagle in a 'gun only' fight, though very hard... and the MK2 VHFs... hence the maneuverability issue...

also, the gun mounts, I agree on the two 'spikes' on the sides that look like hardpoints.

I've seen many light fighters that are much better than the most powerful HF out there..

Shouldn't we re balance the middle and low end of the fighters?

I agree with this, most mk2 LFs (if not all) are by far superior to the HFs, even to the Executioner (same as Avenger model, sold at Rio Grande, class 8 weaps max) which is, I suppose, a mk2 HF... it's way weaker than the two mk2 LFs I've flown (Scimitar and Slipstream).

>>>>Also, I was wondering, is it possible to make some of the PRisoners/passengers/VIPS commodities perishable?  It would make it alot more urgent to run living beings, and it would make trading a little more fun... IMO.  Oooh, and could Synth be made perishable as well?  It is a plant, and doesn't react well to being frozen.  All i got for now.

Well, by use of logic...

:: Synth is synthetic, so they probably made it somehow unperishable, second, it's probably not even a plant and third, you would probably transport it almost ready for use, which is definately not in a plant form...

:: Prisoners/Passengers/VIPs, as first, I don't believe anyone would travel like that if there's a certainty that some of the passengers will die 'on the road' at every trip... jettison a few if you really want to loose profits every now and then, make it RP :crazy:
If you want to transport perishables, I suggest you do, there are quite a few profitable runs like MOX from ... to ... and then Luxury Food from ... to ... Alien Organisms from ... to ... you get the picture?
