Discovery Freelancer 4.86 Update 5 Released

[Lennox]

Me goes on Discovery again. Thank you!

[kikatsu]

This looks like promising stuff!

I can't wait to see the changes to the trade lane system and those cool new explosions you mentioned here:P

Also, I am assuming that the Gallic transport turret is classed as Gallic civilian? I mean so the Council, Brigands, GRN, and Gallic Corporations can use it?

Explosions are nice.

About this HUDshift.. How did it work again?

- Adjusted ALG Mover and Rheinland cruiser camera angles in turret and rearview mode.

the problem was (still is) with the 3rd person view, not turret view

- Balance tweaks to the Bretonian destroyer and the Scylla. Both get a small buff.

Nice for the bret dessie--all four of the side turrets fire backwards now.

- Flipped various tradelanes around in all of Sirius to fix traders having to cross up to down while moving through. Can't imagine DSE having intended them to be inverting halfway in the system... just inconvenient that

If you ever decide to re-evaluate this, my suggestion is to set the biased according to CW/CCW rotation. If there isn't enough of a hint in the system (IE a single lane running left and right), you can look at the system CW/CCW within sirius. I was going to write this up but thought ... nah nobody would ever both with this.

Turret steering still doesnt work like it did in update 2:(

Rheinalnd bomber is cheaper, stronger, more agile.
I m not here to complain about liberty tech to be weaker than rheinalnd, but it is very very long when rheinalnd have 2 bombers, and bergelmir is realy realy hard to hit when liberty have 1 weak bomber when liberty need a good bomber desperatly again much stronger RNC caps.

Also I need to mention that LABC was trash in 4:85 and is still not a good ship now in 4:86.
Practicly because it is turret ark is not to good ( from 6 light slots only 4 shots around, and the rest turrets ark is bad in close combat ).
LABC is alot slower than Kuzary BC what have 140 speed and superiour agility, when LABC is full of weakpoints and not have best turret arks.

I saw how Dragon light cruizer in conecticut defeated [LN]-LABC what had pulses/cerberus/primarys on without even lossing a shield.
And if RNC cruizer with so many turrets manage to get behind LABC, LABC is doomed.

So yea, LABC is still not a good ship and Upholder was and is still far worse than rheinland bombers.

Just pointing out somethink that has been ignored.

Thanks man, thanks alot, though I was still waiting for the new OC snub line:(

I'm also curious about this. Will we be getting it in 4.86?

Thanks for the update. :yahoo:

That's a fine point sir, the US bomber pilots agree! Holding your own in Alaska would be so much better will just a tad more energy.

- Added spin protection for PC vs PC collisions. Collision damage mod deactivated.
