Discovery 4.82 Beta features, bugs & suggestions

[Winkie]

Suggestion: Weaker mines that do not use ammo but energy? Say maybe do 2500 damage for people who do not have the money to worry about using mines that chances are they may not need....Or if not for mines how about countermeasures.....

Speaking of countermeasures! how about having the ships drop them as well. That would be a good money saver.:cool:

Yes, in like flak 88 they had mines and CMs that took energy, not ammo. Makes this a lot cheaper... Specially with nuke mines.

You guys are really cheap, the Swarm Missile is cheap enough. Now a mine that doesn't use ammo too? I can agree to that only if it has like 30 shield damage and 90 hull damage. So, yes, you can spam those as much as you like but as I said 30/90 not 2500.

energy countermeasures: yes, just to counter the Swarm spammers.

EMP (shieldbusting) mine: cheap trick imo. we have a lot of shieldbusters as is, use them.

Another suggestion: lower the mine carrying capacity, 70 is way too much. I've seen a lot of spammers lately with no fighting skills whatsoever. Dodging those mines just prolongues the fight.

Suggestion to the mine/missile spammers: learn to shoot! what's the purpose of all those guns we have?

I would like to suggest a news item be made of the "How to connect when the global server is down" post.
It seems that many are having trouble finding the correct information.

I think they already got 1 ant:

Nightfall you are right about one thing now that I think about it....But perhaps make the mines have horrid homing? Or make them stationary all together and have a short time to live so to speak before detonation. And perhaps maybe 500 damage and 250 shield damage? And I am glad that someone agrees with the energy CMs so that we can stop the swarm missile walls. But then this would cause people who use missiles that are ammo based to have trouble

This is strange I am chewing up my own ideas...But yeah I am gonna go with some of the vets here no more energy based homing weapons...It adds cheapness to everything....I need to stop thinking like a newb....

Regarding the Luxury Liner line of discussion:

I think much ado is being made of nothing. It seems concievable to me that the luxury liner should come equipped the way it is.

This is after all, a craft made for transporting people with money and valuables. It should come equipped with the tools necessary to safeguard those well paying guests from pirates and the like. As pirates often have powerfull fighters - it should be able to take down a powerfull fighter that is alone. I know from experiance that this is not an all powerfull craft and a couple of pvp equipped fighters could easily take one down in short order (barring the pilot running for his/her life).

It should be considered a civilian cruiser. As such it can only have gunboat weaponry (higher would only be available to a well equipped military force) - but allowed a cruiser shield.

@Tank:

Good to see someone starts seeing my point.
Energy Countermeasures problem solution is simple - remove the Swarm!:lol:
Like that's gonna happen, so I'm not saying anything.
Those mines you mention... 500/250, how about 50/25?:tease:

@Killer Dave:

My Lux Liner has a transport shield and Transport Turrets, but then again, it's my storage ship so it won't leave NY in the near future. Anyway, put 11 Skyblast B Turrets on it, you will have a better protection than any GB Turret. Most of the problem actually is in the ability to mount Cruiser shield and GB Inferno/Battle Razor and being as agile as it is.

Yes that is the topic I was talking about.
It would be more ovbious if the was something about it on the main page, discoverygc.com.

I am a long-absent Supreme Commander, Executive Commander, Grand Admiral, Fleet Admiral, and Captain in the mighty Hellfire Legion. I have returned, and am on an urgent mission from Drake Thastus to return the Legion to its former glory, and to claim the galaxy for its own. Only then will I be able to rest.

Nightfall I notice a lot of things when you post....You have many a good idea..

Back on topic: The Lux liner needs to have four GB turrets...And the rest class 7 no discussion. And it needs to a GB shield. It is stronger than military vessels that is NOT COOL. Sorry Killer_Dave that is the way the ball bounces. If you like uber cheap ships this is not the place for you....

Also let's drop the idea of any more energy based ammo weapons for the forseable future and keep the swarm it is fine the way it is. I can fire a hundred swarms and hit nothing....

Also I am gonna ask again Crow VHF please.... And can we have a starflyer LFMKII? Just curious.....

Perhaps we can also have a Lane Hacker gunboat. A Rheinland Frigate, Kusari Bomber.

Liberty bomber and Bretonia Carrier. Also can we have a Zoner GB? Or cruiser? It would seem more probable that a group like the zoners would have a light support cap for some engagements....

And can we have LH class 9 weapons....
