Is there a link to where the new missions can be downloaded?

Dave, are you planing on another update soon? Firesoul mentioned the possibility.  

[KBF-Dogmatix]

Who here can't wait until we have a standardized mission pack again!?  


I'm splitting my time about 50/50 between Reclamation and Litterbox 3.  I can actually afford a decent ship on Reclamation...just haven't seen one yet....heheh.


Me <----<<< Still railing at the fact that the only D5L I've seen appeared when I had 6 pp in the bank.  Oh, the humanity...

I'm sure that if you manage to increase the economy of your empire, you'll see ships you will like...

.. after all, I'm currently flying a L-BTP

I'm trying, Luc....I'm the only Klingon on the server and I've managed to take two 20 DV, 20-point astreroid fields all by myself in the past two days.  I'm sure you'll agree that 40 missions in a D5 on that server is quite a lot of work.    I also grabbed a 5-point, 10 dv empty hex.  That's 45 econ in 2 1/2 days and I'm still only seeing oe or two ships at a time...and they always seem to either be some tug or a survey cruiser.  Oog!  






 

[jimmi7769]

I'm there too!!

[KBF-Dogmatix]

I didn't count you because the last and only time I've seen you there you had a poofy fuscia frog suit on.

Yeah well, I lost that ship on the first mission and went back to a brighter shade of red.


On another note,  I CTD'd during the new data recovery mission on reclamation.

here's the setup:  Me in my trusty F5D(no it doesn't even have a B refit) and an allied LDR troop ship(at least it had P-G's vs. 2 Gorn Whoknowswhatzits(a tug and a troop DD I think)

I blew of the DD and left my buddy to take our the Tug while I headed to the listening post.

After I got to it it started shooting at me and the shock must have been to much for my PC because here I am now typing this stupid message.

Anyway, watch out for the new data recovery mission it appears to have a little bug.


P.S.  It put down money on a new FWC!!!!   Now just gotta wait 30 minutes to get it   ;-)

I'm going to ask Castrin if he can make ships stay in the list longer after they are produced, so even if production is the same, a ship will be shown longer before it is deleted from the available list. Hopefully that will help for those who can't camp the shipyard for 2-3 hours waiting for something decent.

Don't blame me.. someone let the Pandora box of SPECIAL loose.  
.. as for taking hexes... wait till my artwork's done.

Doggy, you haven't been the only Klingon on. I've seen CaptStumpy on at times. And, me being my usual generous self, I helped lower a couple of 20 econ hexes last time I was on, 7 14 I think was one, for the Klingons. Anyway, it makes a change fr us Lyrans to be the dominant race lol. Now it's just a pity that there are no players to fight. I guess the Alliance is playing on Litterbox and the Coalition on Reclamation - pretty funny.

[KBF-Dogmatix]

That's the catch-22 of shiplists liek this.  You want to have everything available because it's fun and new, but the system doesn't seem to handle that too well and you end up creating less choice (because you can't get a decent ship in a situation where you could before).  I'm hopeful things will get better when the Empire has more econ.


I noted a D7B got built as one of our two ships every 30 mins in 2276.  Are LYAs set up for ships and if so...how long after a refit comes out does the obsolete ship continue to be produced?


 

[FireSoul]

I said don't blame the shiplist.  ..
 'someone' played with it.. on the " admin " side.

I'm playing on both.  LB3 has pretty much been a cakewalk for the Alliance from the start due to low Coalition player turnout.  I actually switched sides because I just couldn't be a part of "The Horde" on a second-straight server.  Being the underdog is fun and all, but it gets a little tiring at time and then I go to Reclamation to have my hull abused by hordes of Gorn ships and my bank raided by the profiteering at stardock.

Actually AFAIK there was very little modification to your shiplist server side. I think the main problem is not the list (which is great) but how the kit "picks" what it builds, I have never truely understood it's method and I've been running these for quite some time.

Having said that though we do want people to have more choices and thus we've tweaked some settings that should help keep ships available for much longer. Prior to this the yards were clearing at the same rate they were builing, good if you build lots but not so when production is so minimal. This has now been changed. Production remains the same but ships will stay longer in the yards. We'll see if that creates a better varity.    

[FireSoul]

But the LDR and the Commando ships have been made available..
.. how?

I'm testing one out today.  It can probably be released anytime, but it might be worth holding off for a bit - two new packs in three days might just be a little excessive

Here's the scoop for the new pack whenever you want it

(1) In the missions that usually feature lots of AI, they will no longer self destruct on capture

(2) In those same missions the marine counts have been lowered for the AI compared to the last few packs (45% to 70% of max, where the stock AI loadout is usually 50% of max)

(3) The asteroid base assault and defense missions are debugged and back in the mix

I think those are the only changes from the pack you're running now.
