Isn't this a moot point since perma drone slots aren't changing, as stated in Dev Update 4.

The AI dies before the missile gets there and the missile disappears. Each missile that disappears in this manner removes 1 missile from the maximum amount you can launch. If 3 missiles disappear like this, you can no longer launch any missiles (capitol ship).
This is the 3rd time I've pointed out this bug, and the second time I've explained the details of exactly what happens. Since this bug is still present, I will only assume that the same still applies for slaves, and that if a slave losses a missile because of this, it will not leave the galaxy that it launched the missile in (also reported at the same times I reported the other bug). These are 2 VERY severe bugs, so I didn't bother to check anything else, If reported bugs are not fixed yet, I don't plan to waste time looking for more until they are. I think I fixed this. When we a public test this week, double check to see if you specific problem is fixed.

Yes, but please keep it brief (1 sentence) so the page doesn't get cluttered.

As long as the every-shot-will-hit-every-hostile-target thing ignores slaves and drones, that should be fine.

Actually, I was using drones on the test server as a way to deflect base mags. Sure, they blew up but it was better than constantly getting massacred. I think that's a great feature. After a while the base switched to ethereal and destroyed me anyway but hey, it's just test. Anyway, as long as we're talking about that, while bases should count as "in the way," dead bases should not. They are "immortal" in a sense, and they can only be moved out of the way very slowly when they are heavy.

Re: Rebalance Feedback Welcome - Please Read
Not sure if this is supposed to be in the wiki page or not.
Capital Ships As an example, mine now takes 1 hour to regen its sheild on test server. Mining weaps are the most elec hungry in existence now, but I have almost no spare hull to fit solar panels. I had to remove 27 solar panels just to fit my gear into my ship. Even doing that left no spare room. I couldnt fit missile launcher, missile crates. Never mind the 150 empty space needed to crack a crate open. And I could only fit in 9 prom, forgetting the ~100 space needed to crack a prom crystal. Please... boost our hull.

Re: Rebalance Feedback Welcome - Please Read
Oh........my.........fucking.........god.
After the first rough stats were up on Test and I had confirmed admins would not fix the massive cap ship nerf that prevents us from using any shield augs effectively, I went Fleet Commander. Sold all my Gunner gear, and used a reboot module on augs worth several billion credits because I was out of missions. Not even bothering with my SD right now, can't afford to do anything about him, just gonna have to take all those months I spent raising money for him as a loss.
Now, after selling my stuff at bargain prices, and wasting every last penny of my in-game money building a halfway decent set of slaves, I notice this retarded (and most likely highly unbalanced) change that makes weapons hit any hostile targets in their path. Fighting is already difficult for me, as I must pray that aggro switches to me quickly. I can heal my slaves with my app wand, but only one at a time, and I usually don't do enough HPS to outheal a vulture. I lose GG often due to aggro problems, even with CG20.
I assume you can see the problem. My slaves are similar to Quantums, albeit cheaper. They have flimsy shields, but do fairly high DPS, so my strategy is to grab aggro as quickly as possible, and have my slaves kill the enemy before others appear, while soaking up the enemy's damage with my cap ship. Now, with this change, I am yet again fucked up the ass with a rusty iron rod. My slaves will be torn apart by random AI, even if I get aggro. Hell, they will die even more easily with this change than they do now, since if an AI aims for my slave I can at least heal it. Rather hard to heal four slaves that are all getting shot at the same time..........

Re: Rebalance Feedback Welcome - Please Read
Frankly, I don't care. It seems as if you admins put almost no thought into these changes, just decides "It sounds cool, go add it!" without considering the downsides. Destroying all phys weapons just to let them push stuff around, useless when you can buy a 300m tractor beam to do it better. Making bullets hit all enemies in the way, seems not only unneeded, not only downright harmful, but also tricky to do. How would you have this work with PvP restrictions? Ethereal weapons? Healing weapons? Chain healers? Weapons with charge-up times? The list goes on and on................
