Quote:Unselie: Unbalance? Hardly, there are many elements in Discovery that make it still quite difficult, the fact that NPC's use shield batteries and nanobots for example, etc. No, there would still be a great deal of challenge left, as I mentioned, travel times are ridiculous.

Epyon the Bored: Since this is a forum, I will use any and all words I see fit to make my point, even THE VOID word.

Ghost Cat: There has been an addition of something like 63 new star systems in this MOD. Yes there is a discovery element to it but with that many systems it would be nice to get around a little quicker.

commodore: I am picturing commodore a friendless, fat slob of a boy sitting at a computer with no life to speak of that obviously has megalomanical tendancies. Who the hell do you think you are? You tell me to stop because YOU control a part of space that is NOT yours but is public domain? The next time I see you I will scatter your remains all across this MOD's universe kiddo.

I've said it before and I will say it again, there needs to be little speed added to the travel times to make it more about Discovery instead of spending all of my time getting from point A to point B in 2 hours so I can discover C.

' Wrote:I think you're being too isolationist. I mean, preserving the integrity of Discovery and all is a worthy cause, but there are some things that are just so commonsense we wonder why they weren't put in the game in the first place. I mean, if one or more actually fixed the capship-spinning problem, plagiarize your life out! (Speaking of which, what was the problem with Dboy's BS mod? It was never specified...)

Alright, ignoring the flames and other useless information;
Getting from point A to point B is simple. There are a number of new shortcuts added into the mod, just have to look for them. And I don't know what you're doing but I can get anywhere in Sirius in less than 20 minutes, almost. Hell, in an hour, I can almost trade up enough money, transfer the money to a knew char, fly a Starflier to anywhere, buy a fighter, buy an armor upgrade, buy/loot weapons, haggle, and still make to a battle to turn the tide in my favor. wink.gif

Quote:I think, though, that there need to be another round of empty systems added. All the Omicrons are taken, and some of us need room to spread out.

' Wrote:well, IMHO, that is really unbalanced...
as far as balancing the mod goes, try making it harder to earn money...
and please don't ever suggest more empty systems....unpopulated, sure, but never just empty...they are a blight on dysco... no star develops without waste.

' Wrote:Hard?
NPC are so easy right now, that they have to attack you in 30+ groups to be a threat.
The first time you fight the NPC can be frustrating because of the low level guns a Starflier has. but after that, the NPC are no longer a threat.

What's wrong with the void word? You say it as if it were some kind of bad word or something...
No. There will be no shortcuts. having shortcuts spoils the hugeness feel of the map.
I've played "shortcutted" mods before, and I didn't like any as after a while you already explored the whole map and the discovery element is no longer present.
Also, you don't need two hours to cross Sirius. Only 15 minutes.
Unless you are following the longest routes and fighting every single NPC that comes down your path..

You better calm down...
Get used to it. This is the discovery mod, not the "Super Roadcross nexus ultra speedmod 24/7" server.
