can someone explain to me what is this things about the engines, and if i need to buy a new one, and why they are so expensive!
and also another question, but this one is only for the developers. the battleship scanner was ok not long ago for all ships, but you decided to make it exclusive for battleships!! ok!!!! i can accept it if i had a good alternative for my gunboats!!! so i have now a VERY expensive piece of equipment ... actualy i have 3 of then ... that i have to remove but what i have to replace it? Nothing good! So why you didn't made a proper alternative for other ships? Like a cruiser scanner, and even a gunboat scanner and even a transport scanner? not has good has the bs scanner but better than the others available?
Welcome to update 5/6. I'm sure that a lot of other people besides you were pretty miffed about the scanner nerfs.
If you want reference to the nerfs, check this: http://discoverygc.com/wiki/shipcompat_table.php
greetings Lythrilux. yes i know other people didn't liked because when was the previous update i said that i was no happy for this option, and had some support! but so many changes was made on this update but nothing on the scanners!!!!!!!
and by the way ... i don't have 3 bs scanners! i have 4 of then!
Hey there Lusitano. So, with the these new engines. It is not mandatory that you buy new engines as each ship with changeable engines will come with one in the first place. As far as I am aware, these engines are effects only. So, depending on the faction you'll get a different colour. Ie the union corse will get pink engines, if you buy one of theirs, and the Rheinland Military will get green ones.
As to your battleship scanners. If they are no use to you anymore, sell them on the market and let other people buy them. This gives you some money and stops them from gathering dust, so to say. And obviously, inRP battleship scanners would only be used for battleships, nothing less.
You still can use a BS scanner in gunboats/gunships and transports with a 75% of powercore, and in cruisers/battlecruisers/destroyers with a 90% of powercore, what is the problem?
If you are talking about have one in a freighter/fighter/bomber... man, that is very odd, just see the name of the scanner.
i know what you mean about the BS scanner, but for now im keeping mine, even with 75% power, if i see a bad guy in the lanes before he sees me, even with 75% its worth it for my cargo and cash to quickly get away
Snoopyman so is just esthetics?!! i thought it was about acceleration, like the better the engine faster you get cruise speed and all that! but ok!
The credits that i spent are not even the main problem, but is the lack of alternatives! The others scanners that i see to buy are ... crap in comparison with the bs scanner! Why not a gunboat and a crusier scanner before doing this nerf?!!!
evenaz one of the scanners is on my trader for the same reasons :-)
duncan? 75% is acceptable ? on my case i use the zoner gunboat and the the z line montante, that have the smallest power core! only 75% makes a big difference! even at 100% you do need more!
Well, you can fire less seconds that a gunboat with the Advanced Deep Scanner, but you have the advantage of see the targets from 25K of distance... one thing for another. It's your choice, to lose 175 millions by selling the BS scanner or to improve your fighting skills to make better use of your powercore.
Oh, and if you use Basic Gunboat turrets, 75% it's enough.
