Unofficial Announcement Regarding 4.87 Update 5

[Omicron]

What's the point of changing engines if tech compability is going to ruin it completely?

The Purple Tentacle demands it.

I want more systems in the next update. Please.
Houses have 6 systems max. Why is that? 10 sounds better.
Also, why are there Omicron-85, 94, 100 and no without 1 2 3 4 etc?
WE WANT MORE OMICRONS.

The community deserves at least 10 more mineable commodities.
Pleease.

It's so boring to play Discovery when there's nothing to discover anymore.

I just asked whether the different engines would have different speeds or such.

And I'd be happy if the tractor beam issue would be fixed with update5, how is that fix going? I think this is a bit more important than engine color...

Nah, that'd be unfair or such. Just for different effects would already be nice.

Not going to happen....

ever.

Discovery already has too many systems. We don't need more.

In vanilla Freelancer, every system that has a number in its name has a unique prime number. (Edit: Discovery does not strictly follow this trend, but it sets a certain precedent for the numbers that systems might be given.)


Also, no, we are not simply going to expand systems wholesale. It's extremely harmful to frequency of player interaction, which is a critical aspect of Freelancer multiplayer. If we were to create new systems to explore, we'd probably work smarter, not harder; adapting what we already have to create a more interesting environment.

There was a sig here, once.

No more pew pew?

[aerelm]

can't they just be made into an equipment item

That "just" you put there hurts me, man. It's been 8 damn hours I've been struggling with that "just". It's an unjust "just" for sure.

Um, could someone explain what is the purpose of being able to buy engines, besides that you can change the engine effect and color?

Who knows. Maybe one day we go for engines which allow faster movements but use energy, or slow down the ship but "divert more power to the weapons system". Nothing's impossible. It just comes down to how bored the dev behind it is, and how much of a life he lacks.
