A drone scrap system would be viable now with the new durability system.

there a particular reason why Hives can never drop anything cool? It would be really nice to be able to get a BP for a player version their cannon to use on bases or even ships and a varying assortment of other lovely stuff.

I'm not intending to say "suck it up Biggee", I'm trying to say I agree a slight Engineer 'nerf' was needed as they were over-powered for a Support class (imo).

For the record, I like the idea of a drone scrap system to reduce the cost of rebuilding new drones. I'd like the power of drones reduced slightly if this happened (probably won't happen, don't freak at me!).

And any Engineer worth his salt can beat a similar level Sniper in 1v1 pvp with ease, that's a pretty big advantage if you ask me.

My dreadnought still twitches insanely during autopilot - is there a way of smoothing it off? Or if perma-thrust must be kept, maybe calculate angle and thrust based on weight and other factors in a single move right after warping/activating autopilot, rather than a constantly compensating system? Not sure if that makes any sense, hope it helps.

the twitch is one of the things the AP code still need improvement on. I was aiming at result over look for the first pass, now that its working, i need to make it more seer friendly (so seer can ap without being too visible (perma thrust)).

Once thats done, next for the ap is indeed to make it smoother.

Emp still has very high rate of fire.

and trying to heal the zerk to keep him alive in emp i managed to kill myself since if i heal something for 10k and i only had 8k it killed me. nothing shot me just me healing got me killed.

Yeah, and healing can kill yourself now. I dont know if thats a bug or feature.

Your efforts are appreciated! For now getting from A to B is all I need.

orca is still invisible and its the day of the reset

I guess all you guys complaining about unequipping drones don't know that alt+hotkey unequips whatever is there....

now if they would just add it so control+hotkey equips another one, we'd be set.

I still instinctively hold space+t to lock my weapons. Any chance we could have the option to re-map the lock(thrust/fire/etc) button?

I keep doing this as well. Though it was a bug and might not seem like the best way to do thing I really would prefer to have the option of still doing it. Habits die hard and the less culture shock of this transition the better!
