Discovery mod v.4.79 bugs&suggestions

[f2k]

OK, so from a Modder ill try to anwser some of your questions.

1. the Civilian turrets, the ones the trains and Transport use, those are classified as i think lvl9, or lvl10 turrets/guns, therefor if you can mount those lvl of turrets/guns you can mount them, though its pointless as they do next to nothing damage, and incredible to big for fighters.

And this is, IMO, a big shame

It is nearly impossible to RP a trader who fights his way out of trouble. A Large Train, even when equipped with the best turrets available, is simply no match for anything bigger than a light fighter.

What chance do a trader have if confronted with a PC Pirate? None at all! He can either drop his cargo or he can be destroyed fighting is not an option.

Giving civilian ships access to some downgraded navy weapons might even the field just a bit

Of course, the alternative would be to upgrade the turrets on the Trains to lvl 10. Even though the thought of a Large Train equipped with Battleship turrets fills me with dread. But hey, if the Mining ship can have 10 of them, why cant a Train?

Thats a ADMIN controlled thing, and it would take to long to go through all your characters and edit every factions REP to you.

This can be done by special serverside software, but I don't have access to it (was never released to public).

Thats a shame. It would have made it a lot easier to start a character as a pirate. Ahh well, I guess you cant have everything
