Feedback Thread - Coalition Survey Ship

[CourierBravo]

Just starting this thread since I've heard that some things weren't working correctly. Please leave feedback here so we can address it.

things wrong:
-SMES does not output power without having to change some things
-SMES throttles power, charging APC's slowly
-cargo hold does not have an APC
-airlock doors not facing the correct way
-several APC's do not receive charge despite being connected on the same line

Changes made currently:
-changes to SMES that should fix output issues
-APC added to cargo hold

I'm also rearranging ship a bit to make RP flow better

I have some thoughts on this ship that are not necessarily bugs, but I find relevant to bring up.

1. The hangar is very, very big and takes up most of the ship. I believe it should be smaller, even though I am currently in a glass house throwing stones because I too am workshopping a ship map with an absurdly large hangar.
2. Why does the CO2 line extend aaaaaaaall the way across the ship to the port thruster? It looks messy and it's easily rupturable. You could just put a separate CO2 line in the port thruster/have a connector to hook up a CO2 can to.
3. Why does a surveyor ship have more firepower than the FPB ship? I could see a surveyor ship plausibly having a Francisca, but definitely not a Grauwolf and a mining blaster, the latter of which is about as strong as the Longbow in terms of tearing up ships.

I also have a secret fourth thing I will DM you as it is very silly but nevertheless worthy of your concern I think.

1. Hanger is largely just because of the shape of the shuttle. I wanted a sideways one in the moment.

2. I'm trying to avoid canisters on ships as much as possible

3. The idea was to give it weapons that matched its job: mining and surveying. I didnt know that the mining blaster is that good. I can pretty easily swap it out for a frankie.

I've noticed recently that for some reason ship weapons seem to not do as much damage as they should on live. No idea why its buggy like that, but this is what a single shot from the mining blaster is capable of in a test server.

Huh. Interesting. It might be an issue of some code not quite working as intended then, and the blaster would be the right fit.

Update: half a year later, Ive decided I'll be re-doing the coalition survey ship to bring it up to current standards. This is currently third in line of my current projects I'm working on, so it may be another month or so before I begin work. This is just to bring attention to it that yes, I seriously plan to fix the problems. I'm a little embarrassed that I've let them sit this long, so I'm going to rectify them.
