Discovery Mod: Ideas and Feature Requests

[Parka]

Hey,

Lets talk about buyable engines. i.e. You have a Kusari LF but you like the style of the rheinland LF engine. So you fly to a base which sales the engines (probably in every system so everyone has the chance to buy one) and buy the rheinland LF engine. Mount it to your ship and there you go. Green Flames on a kusari ship. Would be awesome !

Another idea I just thought about is the AI Bot idea from the 88 Flak Mod. Maybe you can think about it. That would be awesome too!

See you

Update the Bundschuh Bases and NPCs. All four bases (Bruchsal, Eltmann, Cloppenburg, Bielefeld) have the exact same Bar NPCs.

An update to Luneburg would be amazing, too.

A BS scanner should be able to see how far cloaked ship is, but be unable to select it to see exact location. Or maybe even selectable, but marking on screen should remain an arrow all the time - like weapon platforms in nomad worlds or at some vanilla stations.

This would give a bit more sense keeping 250 mil scanner, cause now it's only needed for BSs iRP or wanted to "look cooler" on vhf.


Also, about scanners. Cargo scan range - works. Scan range is 10k to all. Long scan range is 15-20k to all. Discovery scanner loses use. It should affect the range where you can select ship you see on scanner, while keeping long range scan same (for local chat/dock msg issues and so on). Cause now there's no consideration needed - what ever you do, Adv.Cargo scanner will work best and is nearly 250 mils cheaper then it's analogue BS scanner (currently exactly same as Adv. Cargo scanner in practise).

Cloaking is not broken, except on barges.

Old Avatars: 1 2 3 4 5 6 - Old Signatures: 1 2 3 4 5
THIS IS THE CORRECT TECH CHART

Also ignore Snak3. Forever.

Faction depot next to their station everywhere.

Instead of Oxygen/Water shipments by NPCs, perhaps we could get more variety of goods? Like Consumer Goods, Basic Alloys, etc?

I personally, and I know a few other players, would like to see a return of the Slaver ID as it was before.

[Vulkhard Muller]

OK my thought is this I know the ' Guard Id for Military's and police is going Out but my thought is that


keep 2 ids but One be a basic ID an Inde ID only allowing GBs and down( Police exception Bombers and down) ( kind of like the current Coalition ID)

and a Official ID ( like the SCRA) that allows all else ( Navy/Military Cruisers and Up) ( Police Gbs)

I think this would both Limit Indes using Capship Spams and also encourage people to Join factions i know i have been against IDs forcing people to join Factions but *shrugs* it still works

Battleships;

In my opinion Battleships should come with hyper drive module mounted. Make them 1 billion or more. And deactivate their capacity to use cruise speed.
Another thing will be to let them dock ONLY on shipyards which will make it more realistic. and to not let them to use tradelanes.

Cruisers;

Cruisers and Battlecruisers could use cruise engine and the thruster, but using tradelanes it's just, unrealistic. Nothing bigger than Gunboats or transport ships should do it. That's why are called "tardelanes", correct?

If this changes will be done, then we will have a better roleplay and fights. In this case you will not see a single battleship or cruiser flying alone in space, because they will need to be protected. Nowdays we see more capital ships than snubs. I'm sure this changes will balance the mod.

This is just my opinion.

What we really need is a remodel of the Firefly, keeping a similar design theory but giving it the proper texture resolution and model detail that such a bird deserves.
