I know this isnt the place for it but think you can take a look at the jinkusu's gun positions? some of the arcs on it despite having a huge area they can turn are restricted, causing blindspots big enough to park a sair cruiser on top or bottom of the thing and only get hit with 1 secondary at most. Its already the biggest warship in the game, and with novas and whatnot your not gonna miss it. At least give it arcs that make sense.
That is intended. The Jinkusu and any Zoner ship isn't meant as a military powerhouse. The Zoners aren't a house navy either. The ship is balanced to have a lot of hull, a lot of guns, but bad arcs.
Submitted the last changes to update 5 yesterday:
- Set the Penny helium field to not run out of capacity.
- Expanded the cargo types carried by various house haulers. Unlawfuls should now be able to virtually steal all base componentry from NPCs (including Cryos, Ammunition, Xenobiotic filters etc). Not every company carries everything, so think logically: "Does faction X import/export commodity Y which I need?". This took some doing, but is required for unlawfuls to be able to build up bases in an IRP fashion.
- Fixed a bug in the mining price overrides that did not set the South Shields/Southampton and Beaumont commodity prices properly.

Dear Aet, won`t it cause lawfuls to metagame?
edit: ...to metagame MORE?

depends on what you mean by that. if Lawful transport would suck cargo from dead NPCs that was killed by their Pirate character then yes, this can lead to it. but same sayed transports cant blow NPCs because their rep will go red. and Im sure that someone will see that and will threat Transport as traitor. and there is nothing stopps people from metagaming now. I saw Daumann ship supplied *insert pirate faction* base, which was metagaming
P.S. to AD: will we get a list of that? or we need to explore it ourself?

Shooting NPCs, bribing, shooting, supplying...?
But for unlawfuls that will work great, maybe I will try to construct my own base, who knows.

Doubtful. It's still easier/faster to use 5K Transies to haul the stuff. Arguably more fun and satisfying to use a couple of PTransies and go shopping on the lanes - at which point the lawfuls can go hunting, reversing the predator/prey roles of the pirate and lawful factions for a change. If there's any lawfuls doing piracy, just report them to the house police factions for an FR5. If you see lawfuls supplying a pirate base, same deal. Screen, report to cops. Watch the FR5 make the transport completely unusable for in-house trading.
The commodities in high demand (such as cryo's) are only carried by Gallic and Kusari long range haulers, and are just one among some 30+ commodities they can lug around.
