No worries man! I just wanted to make sure I understood what you were saying before I responded. Yeah PP scan range got nerfed way the $#@! down for PP2, which was the original goal.

Looking forward to seeing what affect the speed buffs do to game play.
Love what you did with pods.
When is this getting released?

I believe everyone has the necessary files we're just waiting for BT to have time to put it and the new drac models onto the servers.

Can we have default loadout for every scout to contain nan, prox, ammo and probe in cargo. I'd have a lot easier time explaining beginners what to do because in 90% time they (and a lot of voobs) launch with bad loadout.

Thanks

That is going to be my favorite quote of the month.

I admit I know next to nothing about core dev.

But if this core's release touched up the general pace, why dd you leave miner travel speed untouched?

I don't think that's possible, but I'll look into it. I think there's code considerations there.

Ah, the reasoning is fairly simple: I don't want to make attacking miners harder than it is. Right now in the time it takes for basic cons to plan 2 sectors away you can mine out your home and be finishing your second sector. By not increasing the walk speed or mining speed of the miners, they stay where they were for the first few minutes, but the other ships have an extended opportunity to disrupt that early mining.

In this case it was a question of increasing the pace when it came to the things I wanted increased. I wanted more con movement and people less tied to con escort, but I *also* wanted more miner offense and defense.

This is now live on USEast2. PCore011 has been retired. The only thing I have left to do now is to get Terran in a lxy heavy scout so I can turret. That was one of the best times I ever had in Allegiance, and I want another bite of that cake.

I added a trello card to investigate default scout loadouts.
