Unguided rockets, interesting... they'd be pretty much useless for fighter vs fighter or fighter vs bomber combat, but a nice little thing to have when you're in a vhf going up against a larger capital ship in a group.

Freighters with them?:rolleyes:

I have one last submission:

Ships can catch on fire. Ships on fire continually lose hull/shield. They go out after either docking/1 minute or a new ship (fire engine?).

Ignore the fact that fire needs something to burn off. Lets just say its burning off peoples souls.

Good work, however:

Over the next several weeks we will be running events and changing the zone of influence and rephecks for factions to reflect the new universe. There will be posts in the events and rules subforums to start these.

I know you are gonna change a lot in the Mod, I suggest consulting with the official factions that are involved in the changes before making them will be nice move, it could safe us a lot trouble and unneeded negative emotions.

In the example of the Mollys we still are not informed how this will work- me or Atlas -we are not aware if there will be 2 new Bretonia systems, we are also not aware if the proposed armistace with the Bretonians will work for us at all, we are afraid that this could kill our faction like it killed MR back in the time after this post.
That's why we have mixed feelings about it because if the gallics remain inactive as they are our faction will become redundant one, and I honestly don't know if we can imagine Bretonian Miners mining in Dublin with us not touching them.
A bit of information to our leader - Atlas will help us a lot- it will be nice to know what right we as faction have to set our own faction diplomacy and what part of it we should accept from the devs.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

Govedo:
The new Bretonian systems aren't going to be in 4.86. They may be connected up later on or simply never put in.
The armistice is an iffy one alright, but worth trying. Mollys will have a big enemy that will no doubt be spammed a lot. If it doesn't work, things can change.

Not everything is being released straight away. There will be bug fixes/game updates again, just like how 4.85 had 3 updates. Hopefully we can have updates every once in a while (Maybe every 2 months?)
