Discovery 4.83 Beta 1 Release

Discovery 4.83 Beta 1 Release

First beta for Discovery 4.83 is available for download. This version does not include any significant changes, but rather fixes multiple balance issues that were found in previous version, and corrects ID system so that IDs would correspond our new server rules found here.

I had to release this beta much earlier than I shoud have because of the situation with server transfer and need for new PvP rules. I hope everyone understands that. Fact that this version does not contain any new systems, ships, weapons and other goodies does not mean they will never be added. I've studied the whole insanely long Bugs & Suggestions threads for 4.82, and I can assure you that your ideas and concepts will not be ignored if it'll be possible to implement them.

New Features

- New ship: Hyena (advanced Bloodhound)
- View distance for most fighters and freighters increased.
- Weapon stats and prices for capital ships were changed.
- Many ships rebalanced (mainly fighters).
- Cruise disruptor missiles are significantly faster.
- New general ID types added: Military ID, Pirate ID, Trader ID. ID prices now differ.
- Freelancer ID converted into Mercenary ID, lawful/independent ID similar to Bounty Hunter ID.
- Swarm missile pod and Corsair Dreadnought can no longer be purchased in-game.
I'm sorry, but Corsair Dreadnought has a problem with hitbox that we cannot fix. I know it's a beautiful and popular ship, but there's no choice. Those who sell it will get sufficient refund.
- Fixed a few bugs, corrected infocard errors.

I'm leaving this thread open for general feedback, but don't forget that issues should rather be reported to Bugs & Suggestions thread.

Just a question... Is there going to be a database wipe for the next beta.

Just thinking, some things, naturally, would be easily fixed with a player wipe. And not to mention, anyone who played on the server without the previous patch might have caused problems. Server stability and whatnot.

Virus...Not all of us want a player wipe.

I just spent around 5 hours making a new char that is only going to be used for SA RPs.

And that would annoy me greatly.

I do have a question, however, Igiss, if I already have a Swarm Pod mounted, what will happen when I open the 4.83 Beta mod?

Aye, what about Corsair Dreads as well? I wanted to use that in the harris event before I sold it off, i was planning to anyways, but if I get kicked for cheating every 4 seconds...

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

Well, I'm in the process of getting this next version as we speak. Hopefully there won't be a character wipe, I mean, I know I've hardly been on this server but I have stuff from another char that I hopefully will be putting on my primary one now.

Character wipes would definitely cause headaches for all of us, I'm sure we'd all agree on it.

Thanks to Cattman2236 of E-Studios Forums for the signature.

The Kalashnikov. Still sees use in the hands of Coalition-aligned anthropomorphic cats Sirius-wide.

You won't be kicked, the ship remains, but its hull is weaker than Starflier now. They are just a product of unreliable Corsair big ship industry. You may go to Crete and try to get your money back. Corsairs are honest pirates, so they won't torture you too long before throwing into open space.

Player wipe might be, but not for this version.

Server already online.

So Vespucci isn't in the beta yet, but will be soon. OK. And we can't buy the swarm anymore? It's gone. Dangit, i liked that weapon, oh well, i can just use CDs now that they're better.

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.

Great Work. Many thanks to you and to reborn for getting this all up so quickly. Sure there will be issues with the new release but I'd like to see some more posts from the community with a bit of appreciation in them.

Ok, Um. Neutral ID is now not aloud on Traders.. Freelancer was converted to Mercenary. Meaning I can buy that one anywhere for my train?

Cuz getting an Order Tag on a train is going to be suicide..

EDIT: Nvm. Saw the new ID:D
