I would like my blocks back please, Lines make it feel like i have less sheild and armour, but that might just be a phsycilogical thing.... or mabey my ship..
Im on dial up and in the process of downloading the update....but from what I've read it seems the pirate ships have been rendered pretty much impotent. I could be wrong, but that is what I get from reading forums... Is that the goal? To have no REAL threat to lawfuls/commerce so pirates are more or less just spinnin their wheels in Discovery? If it really is all in the name of keeping role play more in line with game factions....there probably needs to be some sort of rule that says lawfuls cant be runnin some of the weps like the del cid class and such ie: goin to yaren base and buyin inferno cannons, or to crete
in gamma and such....I think you see my drift...Bear in mind please Im not tryin to start any crap...just want the info to decide if it's time to search for a new freelancer mod.
A plyer wipe would be OK with me, The fight up IMHO is the game. It gets to a point where none of the NPC's can touch you and I find that boing. And as I have said before 98% of the time I never see any other players (in game)
My Lil' boats are
SS_Scorpion
SS_JackyBlue
SS_Guppy
Igiss, you could have warned us that the Liberty Assualt Frigate was losing its class 10 shields. Took me awhile to get out of FP 4 before I figured out ya gutted us, every time I tried to de-dock i got booted for cheating. Who Complained? I mean we have half the power, half the hull of BS, but now we have half the shields, heck at least give us thrusters. We are now sitting ducks for BS. Before we could stand toe-to-toe for a bit. Bloody heck...God forbid we have ability to actually compete with the precious BS.
In essence, ya made us into a slow moving cruiser. We're going to face the BS at their pace with half shields, half armor, half power, half bats and bots, half of something is nothing. At least crusiers have an advantage of manuverability over BS, what advantage do we have? BS has the advantage of heavy everything, what do we have? Where is the precious balance we're always stressing?
The one true ability breathing life into a Frigate has been ripped from us, and I would like to know the reason why?
Removal of level 10 shields from Frigates was one of the requests I got for the new version.
Blocks/solid line was just an exe feature, I'll remove it if you don't like, nothing too complicated.
Regarding player wipe: I don't see a need for wipe now. Korrd suggests that this could help to clear our database from cheaters etc, but they could return. In addition to that, all banned accounts would be lost because of the wipe. Everyone whom we banned before could start playing again, and that surely won't contribute to security alot.
However, our player database is surely very large, and I'm intended to perform a 1-month wipe in a week or so. If you've got old characters, log in with them sometimes to feel safe.
@Status bars: I'm not worried about the bars one way or the other, just concerned it was a bug or something more serious:P
=== SPOILER ALERT ===
@pirate LF Mk II: I just bought and flew the Hyena fighter, and I must say I'm disappointed. It lags far behind the other Mk II's.
It's maneuverability, armour, bats/bots, and cargo hold are all much less than the other LFs. On top of that it has only 3x class9 and 1x class7 guns. In fact the Hyena little better than the Banshee. Ok it is cheaper than the other Mk IIs, but after spending $1m an extra $300k or w/e is trivial.
I'd like to see the Hyena's stats brought up to the other LFs. The guns certainly. The maneuverability is debatable, I guess, considering the pirate ships are much bigger than everything else.... but then I'd like to see its armour improved significantly over the others, say > 7,500.
A live pirate is a happy pirate:yahoo:
o.
EDIT: also is it possible to sell the Hyena in a Rogue base somewhere? I've only seen it in Arranmore (my last choice, *of course*). And man I *hate* going to that place.... I never ever see or hear any mines going off... but one second I'm fine, and the next my shield is gone. (stupid mines)
I second that. The manduver is debatable, but I really think the cargo should be larger, hard to pirate if you cant hold anything, and the armour is a big issue as well, if it can't dance as well as the other Mk.II's, it should have thicker tapshoes.
Oh, and I think removing the class 10 shieds was silly, me and a couple of others did testing with those things, and they ARE quite balanced, especially compared to battleships. No point in having a frigate with class 10 guns and a class 9 sheild when your power rating is the same as any other cruiser, but without a thruster.
