4.95.0 Patch 5

[Jayenbee]

Because the systems guy is the one to blame for story changes.

Historically he is; Omicron Nu. - He jumped the gun on system implementation, so much had to be scrapped/revised/changed by Story to the point it made even less sense than it might've to begin with.

I will also note that as a member of Story at the time, it was also a joint failing in communication between the departments as it were. But credit where credit is due, Markam has a way of motivating himself to do stuff that I could only hope for and then does them. More than you could say for some. He was enthusiastic or simply just wanted to get stuff out there to players, either way, he just went for it. Can't truly blame him in hindsight.

I've also seen Devs frequently talk between departments about Story ideas and often imput comes from outside Story, so don't pretend that just because someone isn't in Story doesn't mean they don't get a say. Unless the teams even more insular now?

I have also seen Systems Devs hold people at gun point with their work; "Either it's going to be this way, or I'm not doing it." attitude.

TLDR; People ain't saints, we all fuck up, nor do you have to be a Story Dev to influence Story.

When contending with a monster, you'd be wise to give the devil his due.

[Haste]

Can we get a list of Battleships Shields that were adjusted?

None. I removed that from the patch notes as it was likely accidentally added when someone saw git commits to a different branch. The only capital shield bubbles for now are the Cruiser ones.

I motivate myself with alcohol and a weird perseverance that I don't know why I have as a character trait, all things considered.

Also, sorry about Nu I kind of screwed that up by doing too much at once.

Also, Systems devs sometimes hold story at gunpoint because sometimes Story asks for weird shit like Hades. I still did it though, and hated every minute of it. Thanks to Aerelm for at least giving it a baller model. That's new this patch actually and I think I wrote it in the notes.

- Changed: Rebalanced Liberty Cruiser Forward Gun & Dragon Cruiser Forward Gun.

Rebalanced how? LSC infocard doesn't have it included and what's apparent for it is greater refire rate.

check flstat
Efficiency close to shard i.e. by far the best mid-long range cruiser gun in the game, as it should be, behind dragon FWG

So we mix Farmers Alliance and LWB in the same bag now?

Zealot would be screaming red murder if he saw this.

No, its an abomination, redact that. Revive LWB, by all means, but this is just messy. Traditional asiatic culture mixed with populist german propaganda. Sushi served with Bratwurst .

Unbelievable.

I assume the Sichel and Sense will continue to be sold as black market ships? Hope so.

To be fair, it would not be the first time that German and Japanese nationalists worked together against a common enemy.

It is really that unreasonable that former LWB would turn to the Farmer's Alliance for safe haven and that the Farmer's Alliance would welcome them in for the chance to strike directly at Stuttgart? Even in Vanilla Freelancer, there was a bar rumor that wondered why the two factions weren't working more closely together against their common foe.

Politics makes for strange bedfellows all the time in the sector, this one seems less strange than most.
