Motto: "Damn it Bretonian, even my Grandmother is faster than you!" Hovis.
I''l get to the motto later. First I have to say that i'm glad that the weapons of the npc's have been upgraded, their maneuvrability now sucks, which is very cool
, there are much more and varied weapons in the game and i'm also glad that you are not giving up modding. Ignore the little buggers, they're not worth even wasting a breath on them...the mod is great and there are stil a lot to be done...everybody should appreciate your work and the ideas.
There are still things to be done for the mod to be perfect, but good and very entertaining has already become. It certainly remodelates the playing experience and feeling. Probably the colision damage is a little too high because when it is combined with that 900 cruise speed, that the AI navigational computer does'nt seem to handle at all, it will get u killed in 2 bumps...i can no longer go drink a coffee while flying trough a debris or asteroid field!
) Reducing it at least in half will do fine. I think...it will still keep thing more realistic and increase your life span considerably in an asteroid field fight or "pleasure" cruise navigation.
I have to agree to the others than shields shouldn't start at 100000, an I've already told u so that it should be better than the lvl1 shield should have 25000 the next 50000 and so on...untl 200000 at lvl 6. This must be done for both npc and player shields and will solve two issues: first the player ship will take more damage from npc guns, just like in the normal game, having a lower class shield, than the npc's like rogues, outcasts and line hackers who fly faster, more nimble ships, will be easier to kill. And above all it will make the players interested in raising funds and buying new equipment, not only new ships. And perhaps the ships available in Liberty are a little too powerful? I will like to see more light and medium fighters in Liberty, heavy fighters in Bretonia and VHF's in Kusari and at the Blood Dragons base because from there on they are going to be needed badly. And there are some ships u did'nt mod like the Banshee, and it's a pitty since it looks real cool with 8 weapons and a turret, or the Centurion and the Falcon, they look very nice too with more weapons mounted on them.
Be warned that are some errors in the ini files. At Manhattan it is suposed to find a Valkyrie, Eagle and Rhino and in fact are a Sabre, Titan and Anubis. And at Los Angeles is viceversa. In fact the Li01_01 is switched with Li02_01 in marketships.ini file. Other fact is that the Junkers did not receive the new weapons, they still have the Barragers with puny damage.
And to get to the motto, the present cruising speed will make impossible for anybody to win the mission 6 race with Hovis since u must go at cruising speed in order to win. The only way will probably be to get an order thruster and go at burner speed for the entire race but then u'll have about 500 speed and Hovis will get 900, so that's when he'll spell the phrase in the motto at U!
The idea to put better weapons on pirates it's a very keen one, since everybody will want to kill those pirates and get the "good" stuff. U should extent this one to all pirate weaponry, from the Rogues Drails to Corsairs Angelito's and especially Blood Dragon Wakizashi's which are my favorite
. I'll keep testing and I hope these feedbacks helped.
