Discovery 4.82 Beta features, bugs & suggestions

No acctually. My main use for my Rheinland gunboat with 2 battlerazors was for killing fighters. A battlerazor on a ship that can turn like that is deadly if you can fly the thing correctly. Now they suck. Needs to be fixed. Same with the 'Spatial.' It turns way too slow.

hey igiss,

i was wondering if you could put in a "Coalition ID"

that would make things much much easier for the SCRA, since we are coalition survivors.

hmm, it would probably have to be sold either on one of those robot or monkey planets, in the gamma unknown system, or somewhere else appropriate, like a Zoner base maybe??? i dont know, just an idea.

we are using freelancer IDs atm, so it would be really helpful.

regards,
Aeon

I don't think that adding a Coalition ID would be logical... since all Sirius humans are Alliance survivors, flying with ID of this kind would be like suicide.

Well, in terms of Freelancer universe. I don't know your RP status, but I'm doing this mod for many servers, not exclusively for ours. I cannot make IDs for all our factions. Phantom was an exception, but Phantom doesn't mean anything specific.

[Aeon]

actually i think it would make alot of sense igiss, since 800 years have passed, i doubt very many people outside the houses would shoot at you.

anyways, i bet a lot of players would use them.

The thing is Aeon. The coalition like clans like us Helghast, We dont really care about all the old coalition we left behind. The Helghast are trying to find a new way of living. The idea i proposed to you has nothing to do with the old coalition. Im just saying a new coalition of all factions who want in.

hmm yea i understand that QV, im just saying that in general, for those players who want one, there should be a Coalition ID, its rather annoying.

but QV, if you want to talk about that, then pm me, this doesnt belong here.

First, about Zuckenee's suggestions.

And about those weird (I think they're from some game called "Homeworld"?) "Kushan" and "Taiidan" and whatnot ships: I think that they should be made to seem a little more Freelancer-ish.

I do not know what to write about them. If anyone could help on that... but of course I agree that they need changing.

America, Amerigo... well, not going to change that, cause America base is somewhat special. Hacker place. Dock there, see its class. Besides, bases usually get the names of places, not people. And even people... ony surnames are used in FL.

Infernos and Razors will be almost at their former power. As for other balance changes... the list of factions that got new weapons was posted in previous Bugs and Suggestions.

What about Viper and other fighters everyone was complaining about before?

[Nightfall]

Viper Invulnerability bug seems to be fixed. Should be OK now.

The Cylon Raider still seems to be invulnerable at it's wingtips I think (I just fired on one in PvP I forgot to ask him to stand still :lol:) and it's still too powerfull with the 6 guns...

I just flown a Wrath, it lacks something but I don't know what (my first two hours in it), needs a lot of thruster help to turn... I'll say more on it when I fly it a little more.

Raven's Talon, it could use better turning, still turns like a brick. Maybe give it 200-400 armor too.

Manta... have you changed it at all?

Excellent job on the Avenger.

The Nephthys might use a little more maneuverability... but just a little, not too much.


That's all I can remember right now, we're testing the Liberty ones, will post on that later...

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor

Here is a couple of suggestions, First just for some verity! The game could use some more voices. The same ones time after time are getting old and I think there is only one chick voice in there. (I suggested this once to Angel once but got no response) Lots of us have mics on our puters and Im sure we could get several volunteers to pump out some recordings to add in the game Would be a real kick to hear your own voice say Drop the cargo or else. And a lot of bases have no voice to greet you.. Im sure one or more of us knows how to do a UTF file. Just need a script to follow.
Secondly, and I know I could be shot for this one. If there is a need to get some cash for upgrading servers and whatnot, Why not contact some corporate sponsors? For a specified amount we could add Coca Cola or Pringles to the commodities list and haul it around the universe. After all there is always room for Jell-O. Im sure none of us freighters would have a problem with increased amounts of stuff to trade.

There is actually about 15+ voices. There are 5-6 Female, 5-6 Male, and some Robot voices.

Not counting SP Campaign voices. (RH Chancellor, Tekagi, Orillian, Trent)

It might just be that you don't hear all that many
