There is a problem with that. Some planets aren't supposed to spin. New Berlin, for example, has never-ending day on one side of the planet and never-ending night on the other. Plus, I just don't like 'em moving.

The solaris chaingun never seems to be used, perhaps it can be turned into a solaris chaingun turret mk2 as it uses double the energy and does double the damage.

Actually some of the planets do spin.

The other night I noticed that prenta in alpha was spinning. Then it wasn't when I had to go in there yesterday.

Besides, wouldn't that increase the amount of stuff the server has to do and possibly cause lag?

Nearly forgot...

About the frigates.

I was wondering what capship class are they supposed to be, Cruiser/destroyer or battleship?

I don't want to collect BS turrets for one and then find out they're suppose to be cruisers/destroyers.

[Igiss]

Frigate is neither a cruiser nor a battleship. It's something in-between. Cruiser power supples are now 1400 thousand, and Battleship supplies are 7 million, while frigates have 2-3 million. Conclusion: they are best fit for good Cruiser weapons, NOT for battleship weapons, however, limited quantity of battleship turrets can be used.

About spinning: all planets spin in Freelancer, but very slowly. That's because of view distance limitation - if planets that are static on 40k distance will start to spin when you fly closer, it's going to look ugly. Maybe cool, but illogical. Once I planned to make a spinning planets patch for Discovery (it's clientside so server won't be affected), but I doubt if this patch is required.

Not sure if this is a bug, or something wrong on my end, but i just tried to take my BS through the hamburg to berlin gate, just before exiting the wormhole my game crashed, and when i logged back in my BS was spinning in sector 7,E of new berling(on the far side from the hamburg gate)

Bug:
Bounty Hunter battleship is listed as having 14 turrets. I just bought one and it only has 12 turrets.

Yes, a bug... the kind of bug that could easily be tracked before release, but was not :P

Not that it's very serious though. Have to live with 12 turrets until next version.
