Ive got a really neat idea:

Jeff instead of faunching around with balancing how about going thru ALL of the Missions messages and making sure that the completion gals and bases are clearly stated within the message. (Except for the the missions that are clearly used to help new players explore.) [And if you still have time on your hands... how about getting a day job? =P]

I am so friggin tired of not seeing where the end of a mission is that I almost quit again.

I hope Rhino Charge nerf will come proportionaly with size and weight reduction too. Don't forget engine is quite large and heavy.

As for the matter if it is too powerfull I can say that even with the maxed revelant bar skills (including additional 10% weight reduction) my emp behe turns slowly (try loading 45k psion icicles or cyborgs).

If You want to nerf it that badly please add some built-in engines (or better engine boosters) to ships used mainly to handle heavy freights (Dark Freighter, Emp. Behe, Behe, Levi etc).

Try making a thread in the suggestion forums, along with missions that this applies to - given that many low level missions have universe randomised $start and $end points, I think you might find that your list is shorter than expected.

But - put it in the right forum, add some actual information instead of a rant, and I'll get on fixing it (if it indeed can be fixed).

The problem with this is they are mostly one time missions. I have to look for completed missions when in my storage hulls, move the needed items to my ship and repeat. then I need to be in my ship and log onto an alt and back again so the missions are complete with the items on my ship. Then I need to scan all of the maps to find the completed missions symbols. The biggest offenders are the Piracy missions.

So no I can't go thru the missions for you, once done they are mostly gone.

i just want to note that os moral emphasis is vis 90... same as V motor. wtf? balance sheet fail >.< also urqa qi vazuk sucks ass now.... not even sure ill be able to move my seer with it. will switch to vmotor i guess since its the best low vis engine out there now.

Yeah, it's late in the game on this but I'll give it a shot.

On the issue of the Quiet Thrust.



I know this has to be a pain in the ass, "Fix this, Change THAT!!!" constantly, and I generally don't partake but I want to add to the minority requesting a small change. Could you guys drop the vis on the QT to whatever value is closest to zero (understanding that zero is an impossibility). It does have it's (limited, non-combat) uses and since they don't drop that much if you whack an A-Dust, the best way to acquire one is by capping. It's difficult to cap something you can't see, which, though it's a pain, is somewhat rewarding.

Not asking for something major but since you broached the concept, WOULD you seriously consider making the 'special category', as you put it, for just that one?

It's difficult capping something you can't see? Position a FC in Nihilite and they all light him up with lasers. Or, do you really have that shitty of a radar...such as an Ande Radar, or none at all, that you can't see 300 vis AI? Lasers give the firer +300 vis.

dont worry, the t15 bana engine (Urqa Koquii Vazuk?) now has worse stats as a tech 2 ai base engine (Benz) except for its vis.


WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK ADMINS.

All i can say is, The Emperor's Influence. Nerf Grape or Buff Emp Propulsor.

Emp Prop has much better turning than FT Grape, but thrust is more important to SD's anyway. Perhaps that's the problem.

The whole point of the Quiet Thrust was destroyed. It was a < 1 visibility engine. They would have been better off just removing the engine since its stats completely suck for its size and tech.

I need to find an engine to upgrade to for my Seer and to be honest all the nerfing of the stealth engines have really fucked that all up.

T15 Bana engine is useless now.
Purgatory Thrust still is over sized, moderately visible and under powered.
Panther Prowl? Meh..

indeed, stealth is weighted far too heavily on the balance sheets, all stealth engines are even shittier than they used to be now. They're simply not good enough to use in combat.

well technically all engines got balance wise a beef. expecially those mid tech engines, they ina verage 3-5 times better. but to be honest. id prever the Quite thruster with old stats even now ratherthen this *beefed* version

I still set my hopes in:
