' Wrote:Aet covered the other part. About the Orca, the Orca doesn't match the rest of the BHG line very well. It's similar, but it doesn't look like it matches in. The Bottlenose, however, is meant to be the actual GB of that specific line, so that is what is used. It's agility won't matter at all, considering how NPCs fly capital ships. Same goes for the Tridente. A GB/Cruiser's agility really isn't a factor when balancing NPCs. NPCs don't fly them like fighters, but like mobile weapon platforms. The front end isn't always aimed at the target. Check the Rogue and Molly GB patrols in Dublin and New York.
' Wrote:If the Rheinland Federal Police get the Mjolnir...
Is there a specific reason that the other Houses are not getting their own respective bomber patrols?
The Mjolnir is an SHF. The other house police factions don't have any SHFs to use. That would be why they didn't get any.

Also, can we have voice chat for them, telling: Get banking services from Interspace Commerce! Best in Sirius since 218 A.S.
?!?!?!
If you record or get someone to record comments for the npcs to make, I can put that in. Right now they use generic lib Corp comments. If you do actually work on this, I'll need to see any scripts of what will be recorded.
This offer goes to any other factions too. No guarantees on it being in the initial .86 release.

Is this Alpha release open to everyone to test it offline?
' Wrote:Discovery usually does its public betas on the main server, as we don't go onto betas until the Alpha is stable enough to run without crashes. Alphas are always closed, only used by the development team and testers. Friday is one of those.
So next friday, the 21. will be such beta phase on the server? Seems like things are looking up now. Great! =)

So it's only open to use for testers? Or can everyone test it offline?

It probably won't be released any time soon. And no, only members of the dev team get access to it. No-one else can use it offline or otherwise until the public beta is released.
