Discovery 4.82 Beta features, bugs & suggestions

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....

Could you just control yourself a little bit please tank?

dont start bashing him because you think differently, and the ball does not bounce in your direction AND there is a discussion.

If your calling it uber cheap, make it nearly as expensive as a cruiser. Civilian cruiser sounds good and i actually like Killer Dave's arguement.

Control your temper tank.

Ant, a while a go it was on the main page...

My apologies for being less than concise.
I was implying something a little more permanant.
Maybe a link to server rules directly from the main page as well?

@McNeo: There was no anger in my post I must honestly say...I just disagree with something that has twice the cargo capacity of Battleship and has almost as much firepower and costs hardly anything. And there no reason anyone would want except for the fact it is almost impossible to kill. And McNeo I would agree with a price increase if it wasn't toned down.

However people still have it already so that would not do a whole lot of good. But is a good idea and may help in the long run. I would say a note of apology to killer_dave but it just urks me when someone supports something cheap and uber I got flustered so sorry for that.

But anyways....We need some more variety in captial ship turrets, for each hoouse. They all have different fighter weapons but most cap weapons are the same.... And perhaps cap turrets have different types of energy? Say Tachyon, Laser, Plasma etc....

And maybe can we have some more heavy BS guns ie more than BRs. Maybe some house Battleship heavy guns? Just to add more RP to capital ships?

Also can House weapons be better than pirate weapons? It would make more sense seeing as the Houses have greater access to technology and whatnot as well as industrial strength.

Ahem..

..an actual bug, please?

Kushan HF found in Frankfurt:

Info card states 6 forward guns, 2x7, 4x8, but will only mount five.

I believe the torp launcher is missing as well.

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.

I would agree with lowering mines capacity to something like 50. And no "undepletable" mines at all, please. But Geez Nightfall a lot of things prolong fights, that's what makes the fight interesting (well except shield running :wacko:). Someone uses guns and someone else missilles and mines there is nothing wrong about that.

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

Yes we have Shield Busters but why not mines? It would bring new elements to the fights. New tactics. New fun. Why not?

Majk, to hit someone with missiles, you need a lot less skill than with guns, same goes for spamming mines. As long as we can carry more than 15 mines/10 missiles, I won't call that strategy as it's not, as long as you have the option to spam something that homes on the opponent or make a dense field of those, I can't call that strategy. There are a lot of people who just spam. If you're really good and have a 'strategy' you'll be completely fine with those numbers I just gave. How many missiles does a fighter jet carry? Same for the shieldbusting mines, cheap tricks mate but whatever Igiss wants I can go against those too. Just giving my two cents as usual.

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

Night is right, it's annoying when ppl hit you with a wave of missiles and mines. Fighters have like 4 missiles max.

I use missiles as finishing weapons and the main loadout of my fighters is always guns. Missiles are not meant for spamming and whatnot the should be used when you need the kill. I like missiles but I do not use them much....

Now i noticed a bug at Ibiza base in omi alpha, when I tried to dock in my LF at Ibiza it went into the wrong docking port.... It said go to dock 2 and it went to one and got stuck for a while and when I f1nd I was stuck inside....

I think swarms are misused by missile spamming. Walls of missiles are not good.. especially if they don't take ammo.

Yeah well dodging swarms is not exactly a chore....I have fired over 2000 swarms in one battle and hit nothing... And when they hit they do not do enough damage really to be worth anything except NPC raping....
