(INEXCUSABLE) BUG REPORT

The Liberty Cruiser is reported in both the readme file AND the game to have 6 turrets in addition to its two main guns and two torpedo banks.

I went to Battleship Rio Grande, purchased a Cruiser and to my dismay discovered that 100% of the turret mounts were MISSING from the ship.

This bug is unbelievable, i cannot believe u guys let this one into a "final" version of TNG...

its got the Battleship turrets. You cannot see the slots, but they're just there. If you launch, you'll find 'em. (At least thats from my experience)

And I cannot believe you made this post without even launching into space. You call me an idiot? Take a look at yourself. Try launching from a planet and you will see them just fine. You just can't see them in the equipment window because that would lead to exploits. Cap ships are meant to use CAP weapons only.

Try reading the manual and testing a big more before you just go off typing and ranting. Also please don't delete your post as I want everyone to see how much of an ass you are for doing this.

i apologize for jumping to conclusions, but if the turrets are there, then why did i see the turret weapons on the DEALER side when i bought the ship?

also, if the turrets are there anyhow...
...how do i replace them if they get blown off and I accidentally dock in the heat of a battle? Wouldn't I have to BUY A WHOLE NEW SHIP THEN

the Advanced Tractor Beam does NOT allow tractoring at 7500M like it says it does. I have to move in to about the standard range.

that is a definite. seen this problem in flight; wasted $ for a tractor beam that's no different from the shortest ranged one IMO.
(I THOUGHT at first it was increasing it, then i realized I was misreading the ranges on the HUD --- I thought I was tractoring at 7500 when it was really 750 and when i actually tried 7500 it did not work)

Sprry for shooting first asking later. Yes, I'm a dumbass for not launching to see, but seeing the lack of turret mounts on my Liberty Cruiser kinda sent me into a panic. I'm a dumbass, okay? Is that what admission you want from me? Fine, I'M the idiot.

...whatever u do dont give EVERY ship in TNG 2.0 the ability to cloak. especially those darn shadows...the shadow cruiser is nicely balanced (got owned by a B-wing last night who got behind me) but i dunno about giving something like that a CLOAK...wouldnt that be too much? I would rather like to see Radar invisibility devices, standalone...that way, you can still spot ppl visually...but u cant know if they're 'around' or not. (still, that could be abused in the sense that you could use it to make yourself untargettable and thus MUCH MUCH harder to hit)

- Are u ever going to concentrate strongly on ships from other sci fi shows BESIDES Babylon 5? (get offa the B5 shipwagon already, heh...im bored to death of it!! lol) plz, @ least take a look @ the rebalance mod sometime & some of the ships IT has that TNG doesnt have...

- The Enterprise? A "Heavy Fighter"? NO way! please, designate the thing at least a gunboat or maybe a "Light Cruiser" ...
after all...
1.) in Star Trek it IS a cruiser anyways.
2.) You call it an HF yet I can take out Battleships with it but not with my Kusari Gunboat which I'd normally assume to be more powerful than an "HF" in the firepower dept. Thats why i think the Enterprise isnt really an HF...

BTW: I LOVE the handling on the current Enterprise in TNG 1.60. PLEASE dont ever change it

(...i just dont like getting ripped off by bugs )
keep up the good work

Yes. Or just leave it as is.

Oh well. Fly closer?

I can see you dont like TNG gregstar, go play another mod
oh and by the way, TRY SINGLY TRACTORING goods, youll find the rage is probably 7500m, I never been far away from a good to see.
for some reason, multi tractor only does 100m nothing we can change

God, this thread died a long time ago, give it up. I LOVE tng, i just was quick to anger in the beginning. I am quite familiar with the mod in of itself as of this point. (well..sort of, stil havent found where ALL the ship dealers sell ships yet....)

This thread is OVER. kaput. I renounced what I said a long time ago.

I got a question about that battleship shield which can be bought at lvl.99
but my level is now 38 and it sais it's maxed out
so what to do??

Post Tue Oct 07, 2003 11:43 am

Sounds like that is how they made that battleship shield unpurchasable - so you can only get it when you get hold of a battleship - ie, it stops you using a shield that isn't designed for the ship
