Barges - Chenzo- - 10-08-2023 I've just been told that Barges have been nerfed to not use lanes ***Trusted name not wanted to besmirch*** — Today at 17:21 They can no longer use lanes, but can no longer be flipped by NPCs more changes might happen soon I honestly do not know So.... Barges were sold at a premium of 15 Billion/5000 Sci Data each. A dev tried to sell their barge just before the patch.... We were assured no nerfs were going to happen. A major nerf now making the ship unusable has happened. Whilst the initial message from the trusted developer stated "additional changes may happen" it's honestly another blow to the community. Also, I'm not sure if it was intended to sound that way, but patching a bug and then removing the basic functionality of something is not a trade off. (Prevent spinning, but can't dock with lanes). I'm not telling everyone to grab their pitchforks just yet, but in the event the barge is unable to use lanes permanently, it's very obvious people will want a pretty instant refund of their hard earned time and efforts in the form of 15Billion/5000 sci-Data(whatever they used to purchase). This isn't so straight forward for those who bought them second hand. Barges were given to players as late as 1 day before the patch was meant to launch(then delayed another week) SO, in the even this nerf is permanent, each owner should probably issue their thoughts here and of course can also use this thread to register for a full refund. RE: Barges - Tunicle - 10-08-2023 Just to be factual Friday, September 1st, 2023, 01:06 PM, - Barge number 45 has just been delivered RE: Barges - jammi - 10-08-2023 For context, the removal of lane use was discussed by Haste here. https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=198808&pid=2304438#pid2304438 RE: Barges - Chenzo- - 10-08-2023 (10-08-2023, 05:40 PM)jammi Wrote: For context, the removal of lane use was discussed by Haste here. I'll go read this now- but for reference- if it can't use lanes permanently, then we'll all want a refund. Edit: (09-27-2023, 03:25 PM)Haste Wrote: As of right now the only active change in the test build of the mod is that we have applied a bumping "band-aid" that massively reduces the effects of player-to-player and npc-to-player collisions. The Barge, by virtue of being the slowest and (one of the) largest ship in the mod is one of the biggest beneficiaries of this change. All good and well, but as of this moment the barge can't use lanes. As I said in the OP-Not riling people to grab the pitchforks just yet, but of course, admins be ready to issue those refunds to those who bought the ships and of course, those who want a refund. RE: Barges - Emperor Tekagi - 10-08-2023 How I see it: - Economy reworking (albeit unfinished), which makes average routes and especially the pob refinery tied ores even more valuable than before - Potential to see Barges just cruise next to lanes/places with adequate cruise speed but very long cruise up time is a very good change which may as well happen (since they're clearly not just leaving it like this, duh). You all were flying ships twice a Battleship size around lanes. It was stupid, at the very limit of trade lanes size restrictions and overall wonky. It is ten times more enjoyable if you can just cruise with your Barge then. Imho if somehow possible without breaking balance dynamics (even with full stop engine kill), I'd even like to see Battleships unable to lane and have adjusted cruise behavior instead.

Ergo, no blame was being pointed toward admins. A player requested a 30,000 capacity ship which can use lanes. Admin delivered. Thank you admin for your work. There is no fault here. Developers suddenly change the status quo of said ship, that's the issue. RE: Barges - Lucas - 10-08-2023 I, too, want a refund for every ship that has been changed ever since I have bought it. Because that makese sense.

Cloaked cruising or going near another player is now broken making cloaking in the first place pointless. So, fix that. Then you get to add 350(or more) cruise speed, put cargo capacity back to 40,000. Barges can jump full of cargo... Problem solved!

How many of those ships cost 15 billion?

Because that makese sense. The value of all the battleships I have is greater than 15 billions. I should demand refunds, too, since I don't like the changes. |
