hey. well first the good thing .. i like very much the new civilian frigate, it is not perfect, because failled some trade lanes tests, but ok, i'm happy with the purchase so far.
and the bad things, the Pygar infocard is still outadated ... for several time .. to much time, it still says that bretonia is occupying Gran Canaria, i already reported but talking to a wall would be more productive. also would be good that pygar had something to sell, like a mineral or something like that. another infocard is the Gran Canaria, don't reflect the climate changes, and someone changed the 500 millions to 500 thousand .. still is too much, since before the invasion was 300 thousand ... and after a war a two massive migrations it gained popultaion? yeah right!! also about infocard, not gooing to report because, like i said before, taling to a wall is more productive, planet Rabat infocard first say it is a rock, but then the text says it is a gas giant.
New Zeta is just horrible. I mean the pallet is completely not suitable for good old green Omicrons. Literally just a twin of Delta now. Good job at having no taste.
Also big thanks of making our primary RP planet Palmyra into the stove(frozen planet next to sun corona, how nice is it) , great step on spoiling faction goals.
Zeta rework is ok, makes encounters more likely from what i can tell. might need to spend more time in there to get a good feel of it. though having system-wide asteroid field can make cap fights harder, even in open zones with all the bits of tiny asteroids u can shoot. not sure how this affects targeting various ships. but if this was intended then yeah I get why it was done, a more "Extreme" type of Zeta
Also the Democritus redesign is cool as well as the customization additions are really nice, could that be a possible option on other ships for increased customization? considering it doesn't involve loads of work to make happen.
I have to say WOW for the new Democritus, I really get the feeling of luxury yacht in space! Thanks so much @Kuze
More panels to choose from please. The solid colors are nice (the more the better though), but some ornaments would be great! Mahagony with some nice texture perhaps? Intarsia style decore? Greek inspired theme to fit the ships name?
Faction logos or colors? Bar or casino theme? There are so many possibilities.
EDIT: Civilian Frigate and Reinforced Train look also pretty good, cant wait to try them out there in the wild. Thanks @aerelm
EDIT: There is so much to check out and test, namely the reworked systems and PvE zones.

Oh, it's not for a lack of trying. Battlecruiser Lehigh in Tau-23 with indie+OF LSF ZOI around it (implemented 4? months later), Gallic Navy marked as hostile in the laws, an attempt at Liberty to strongarm Kusari and Gallia into ceasing hostilities. The latter was stonewalled by the story lead at the time who was adamant Liberty shouldn't be involved at all.
But, you know.
Who cares what the players want, the devteam is infallible.
Aesthetics-wise, I like the new Zeta look. It's not something you see much outside of the Taus or the very limited Crow Nebula, but that by itself is a problem. The Omicrons, the Edge Nebula, don't look like that.
The intention was an Omega-5-esque system, which certainly is a worthy goal, but the key with Omega-5 is that it fits its environment. It's in the mid-ground between the Walker and Barrier Nebulae. Zeta, by contrast, is a core system of the Edge Nebula, where the green is thickest. This was reflected by the Pohnpei and Yap nebulae pockets.
New Zeta fits better on the other end of Sirius, where blue makes sense. I'm also of the opinion that messing with RP assets is a pretty dick move.
Everything else is pretty par for the course. I'm very interested in seeing what hidden mechanics change the dev team's slipped into the patch this time, though.
