Ship descriptions that don't accurately describe the ship
« on: August 19, 2012, 01:16:53 pm »
Just a heads-up that I've compiled a list of problems in ship descriptions on Mantis, here.  If anyone has noticed any more, it might save developer effort to add them to this report so they can all be dealt with together.  Alternatively, note them here and I can add them.

Most of the problems exist because the ships have been tweaked over time, but the descriptions still reflect their original state.

'Nuther one.  Funny it's taken 9 months for anyone to notice about Mark IV Scout Starships, but I guess if you hadn't read the patch notes, you'd never have known...

ZPG also needs update, it doesn't have m/c cost anymore and the increased wave is also gone...

Not a ship, but: The insanity inducer module for the champion does not mention that it cannot shoot MkV ships. It's implied by the reference to the Botnet Golem but only people who remember that the BNG has this downside would know that.

not exactly. All mk V ships are immune to reclamation. This is a general rule and i don't think it's needed in the description. Mk V ship immunities say enough.
