Is there a list of where to get battleships or all the new ships in disco mod open SP. It is really hard to find a guide for this mod. Just so I know where everything is. I found a map so that's one thing. Any help would be appreciated thanks. :D

A readme is included with the mod.
You can also get FL Explorer to get all the data...and also almost ALL battleships are sold on a Shipyard.

Yep. Tells you with relative accuracy (within a System at best, within half of outer Sirius at worst) where everything is. And... you *don't* need a battleship. Really. Try it on OpenSP, there's one available at the shipyards in NY; they really aren't worth the two weeks of power trading. Or the flak you'll get for being an indie cap. Seriously- I HIGHLY suggest joining a faction and learning the ropes before going for it. Not only are they not as powerful as you think they are, they can't manouvre for anything, get stuck in scrap fields, have FUN times getting into tradelanes and jumpgates (read: welcome to hell, enjoy the pop-rocks and Disney-style waiting times), get completely owned by bombers, and will usually invoke a very negative feeling toward you. Well deserved most of the time, actually.


EDIT: And welcome to discovery- at least you have 14 posts when I see this, a fair bit better than a certain person who showed up in Flood two days ago...

And we still spread that around?

People who don't want to find stuff by doing it properly. I have used Datastorm twice, and that was for specs on ships for an up and comming movie. Its still on the drawing board.
Its ok if 'you' just found out about it...Stop spoiling, spoilers!:rtfm:

Meh:sleep:
they shouldent have them in the game if they don't like them, since they are in the game people should just learn to deal with it. and in my opinion the nerfing of flak and the insane power of a bomber are just ways to smack he cap ship people around. :sleep:

i also plan on having a BS of some type, not sure which tho. because i like fighting NPC's and what better way then in a battleship. and they look nice XD

I'm not referring to Battleships not being liked, some of them (Kusari Bship, Corsair Bship for example) are beautiful pieces of work and must-haves for fleet engagements... it's just, they are magnets for PvP-whores who abuse them to no end (BHG... oh god... WHY???) and somewhat hard to deal with in your LF or VHF when they don't even bother to say "engaging" and just blast you. Those gorram idiots are the reason there is flak around battleships- and unfortunately they are in the majority. If you have genuine RP for a Battleship, DO IT, and show everyone it's possible. (It is: Exhibit A, Jinx's Persephone II). That and navies are about all that deserve them.

Oh yeah, about flak- killing an entire Destroyer patrol in 14 shots, without aiming, no less, was not imba how? Flak needed to be nerfed, although admittedly it may have been nerfed a bit much. Battleships aren't meant to be anti-fighter weapons, further reinforcing the need for them to have escorts.

Flawed logic. Discovery didn't make FL-E or FLDS.. neither did Microsoft. People make prorams like those for people who are too lazy/too busy/don't want to look for the things themselves. The creators of FLE/FLDS obviously like their programs, as do a lot of others.

I edited my post. Happy?

By the way, FLDS has it's own spoiler warning.
I found I didnt use mine very much they aren't that much fun to get about in and npcs tend to ram you It got to the stage were I was only logging it in so it wouldnt be wiped.
I bit the bullet and sold my Spyglass yesterday kept the armour though and put it and the license on my smuggler character.

My whole opinion on Battleships is If people want to try them they will I was the same and as long as they keep their rep right and dont break any rules I personally dont have any issues I think it's kinda low to go after anything that isnt a capship in them though.

StarSerpent was decomissioned without ever being taken down by a bomber although I never had to deal with any more than 2 at a time luckily.
