Back to bugs (take your foolish conversations/technical isssues elsewhere!)

Orion research icon uses Athens carrier logo.

Improved lasers tech says it improves SMACs? Is this true?

Anchor starbases still have upgraded weapons research, as they don't actually have weapons this seems like a waste of space to me.

Improved co-ordination research (again, for anchors) is a bit messy. Still named destabilisation and shows as two blocks on the starbases rather than one upgraded one. (Have I said that before?!?)

Sorry they're all research, I've just been combing it. Otherwise it's all still great. I realise I'm probably miles behind the official playtesters but its the best I can do with what I've got!

As always, love the mod guys. It's the only mod I've EVER played where its an actual improvement on the game, not just a change. Major kudos.

I think the Lasers upgrading SMAC damage is so that they don't get more OP than they already are.

I don't think the research can improve ability damage. It's just increasing the 0 laser damage it does by 21%...from 0 to 0.

I think I follow you. Run me through the numbers once more...

I mean, I don't see why they don't just remove it altogether from the research, leave it just for prowlers.

We have a gob of icon errors we're trying to fix.

SMACs have been changed in the next release pretty dramatically. They no longer use an ability. They're upgradable through the normal MAC research. They don't need the coordination station to fire, it just buffs range. This is in preparation for the Covenant and changes we've made to the Covies. You'll need that much firepower, I assure you.

Anchor starbases still have upgraded weapons research, as they don't actually have weapons this seems like a waste of space to me.

Starbases are still very much a work in progress. We're still not sure what to do with them.

Improved co-ordination research (again, for anchors) is a bit messy. Still named destabilisation and shows as two blocks on the starbases rather than one upgraded one. (Have I said that before?!?)

String descriptions need to be updated and we'll eventually get to them. lol

Does the WIP include adding in gamma station?

Also, i could go in and find any messed up strings and attempt to fix them if you want

What uni said. WIP

Improved lasers tech says it improves SMACs? Is this true?

Yes, technically. They have a beam weapon that was used to force them to auto-target. As Uni said, that will be changed...

Anchor starbases still have upgraded weapons research, as they don't actually have weapons this seems like a waste of space to me.

Fixed in private beta

Crap. I have to try to fix that...

Thanks, and thanks for the bug report. A lot of those will be fixed on the upcoming patch - look for new ones once we release that

[Moustachio86]

Thanks for the updates guys but I genuinely understand this is all a work in progress and in the nicest way possible, I don't need an explanation for most of these things! I'm just bringing them to your attention if they haven't been already; don't feel obliged to keep me updated, I'm sure you all have better things to be doing.

Which reminds me, hearty congrats Uni. Hope all goes well in the next few days/weeks.

FIX IT! IT WILL BE SO USEFUL!!! lol
