Discovery 4.82 Beta features, bugs & suggestions

[Hawke]

Thanks for pointing out the Rhino, It helped, tremendously, I've already upgraded to the CSV, and halfway to an even bigger freight hauler. It was hell trying to trade 20 units at a time! :rtfm:

I definitely agree that upgrading to a faster/better combat ship and weaponry helps tremendously with the speed of killing. I never felt I was a bad pilot, I can track the NPCs pretty well, and light em up, I just was doing so little damage that It felt like I was chasing him with a BB gun. :wacko:

I like playing a trade character, it has been fun so far. I will need to find a Faction that likes or supports cargo runners.

Is there a way to trade credits between two characters that I have? Can my well established, grounded Trade Captain give his younger brother a few creds to get on his feet?

I also noticed the NY > Magellan gate was locked. What's the story on that one?

This may/may not be a bug, but I have noticed that if you enter a previously disrupted trade lane from "center" or from "below" the gate, then you lose your shields when re-entering the gate. It doesn't happen if you re-enter from "above" the gate.

There is apparently a Liberty Navy "faction" in Virginia that attacked me on sight. Their info shows that they're friendly with everyone I'm friendly with, but they hate my guts. They blew me to microscopic particles as soon as I entered the Virginia jumphole. I now have one "Liberty Navy Guard" in my list that shows red hostile to me, but friends with LPI and LSN. Is this also a bug?

Lastly, I have noticed that occasionally during a Rogue attack, the industrious bastards somehow are managing to 'hold' the jump gate to Texas. It says that the gate is in use, and yet there is no ship to be found. I'm suddenly at a dead stop, and getting pounded by a bunch of rogues. They haven't managed to kill me yet, but I burned a bunch of Bats and Nans the first time they tried it. Any idea how/why that is?
