Quote:Found out I should stress this for battleships. With the new turret hardpoints you can risk that a turret will get stuck on a now not-assigned hardpoint. So it will be mounted, but impossible to unmount cause you won't see in the list when docked.

Sure it can be fixed by some character editing from admins, but that might take a while.

Yeah... I cant do this for a lot of my turrets on my juggy, I have a cap 8 and a lot of RP cargo...

Any idea on which specific turrets should be unmounted?

Why didn't the devs published the Changelog a few days in advance?;)

-That would have taken care of balancing issues.

-No wondering whether ship is gonna get buggy in new version.

-People would be more patient now:

That biplane just shot down my jet!

Well I'm reasonably sure that for most ships the names weren't changed at all, old one were kept and new turrets added. Only one I'm not that sure about is the LN dread.

Most likely there'll be some auto-unmount to help people with this as well. Just saying it could be a good idea if you really have nothing to do but post "where's 4.86 posts":)

Yeah, I ended up selling quite a bit of my RP cargo - at least the stuff that's easily re-acquired - for my Juggie. Managed to get everything dismounted, and didn't have to dump ALL of the RP cargo.

I suggest that you dismount all of them - even the ones with the secondary turrets mounted. Either that or get yourself to a base that sells those turrets. I have a feeling that there will be a lot of us heading for those bases once the mod hits, because we have too many of a certain type of turret.

To be honest I don't think there'll be a detailed changelog (i.e. ship xy got changed in this or that way).

a) it would be way too long, I have some logs before we started to use the SVN fully (which was like 1,5 years go) and it's a few pages just for balance stuff

b) might be a good idea not to disclose everything
ex. when prætorian dodging got tiny bit lowered in 4.85 update 3 there were threads on forums how it's useless within minutes after the release. If people weren't told 99% of them wouldn't ever notice the small change.




--------------------------------------------------

@ Agmen, yeah, can sell all but max 6 primaries no matter what BS you have. Stats will upgrade automatically and you'll be left with turrets to just sell after the update.

Same, I had to sell all the RP cargo on my Juggy.....No worries, it will take me 2 minutes to repurchase most of it. I had to sell over 200 nomads on my corvo......that will take a little longer, but that's the price of progress I guess.

Oh, DUR... I feel stupid I'll just sell the non important nomads those are easily reacquired.

Yeah, fixed.

Better be safe than sorry.

I moved my juggy to Livadia Shipyard =P

Good idea.

So.. What about those guys whom don't go on forums much or at all? There's plenty of Liberty, Outcast, and Corsair lolwuts with Battleships and such oblivious to this news. What happens to their turrets if they keep everything mounted? Surely not every single one of the battleships will have stuck turrets unable to unmount.. that would just lead to.. a lot of complaints by lolwuts. And i think i speak for everyone when i say that would not be pretty.

The mod has its own installer, it does not use FLMM anymore.
Using a clean install is incredibly advised. I mean more advised than a President would be.

I say this mostly due to the server's anti-cheat. It won't be nice to you if things are wrong.
De-activating 4.85, restoring backups and then installing 4.86 may work. It may not.
Using a clean install is your best bet.

If you do not have your CD anymore, it is legal in most countries to download a copy of the game as you already own it. You will find a copy floating around the internet if you look for it, even using Google will work.
Alternatively, ask someone on skype to help you out.

I left my disk about as far from my current residence as it is physically possible to get while staying on the same planet, cos I found I could play disco without it. Anyone know where I can get a virus free download or something?

Admin conspiracy to get rid of lolwuts.

Just kidding.
