There you go. Have fun. :)

Be warned, though, although it's the newest stable release (there is one newer, but unstable), it is relatively buggy and you will likely encounter some annoying glitches.

It is a great release nontheless.

Also, the PD tables have been changed - this means PD no longer intercepts blasters, flareguns etc.

PD doesn't take blasters and flares... But flares were supposed to distract PD!
Flareguns are now useless. I just encountered that newest release you were talking about. Although the bubbleshield looks cool, I can predict my laptop will hate it. It's already struggling with all those fancy trails from missiles.

I really, honestly recomment you do not mess with the bubbleshield release. The shield module is really nice, but the thing is just way too buggy.

PD is made more "realistic" in a sense. All PD will shoot at fighters. Flareguns also sucked to begin with and I have yet to see a ship that actually used them.
Point rockets were pretty much worthless anyways.
The bubbleshield release is cool, but the actual shield module itself is extremely temperamental. There's a few other little bits and things, but for the most part it isn't terribly game breaking.

PD (excluding those stupid blindspot pointrockets) is now meant as anti-fighter mainly istead of anti-projectile? Or is this me being dumb?

That bubbleshield release seemed weir to me anyhow. Although the shield looks nice, you are right in saying it is bug-ridden, but hey, the post said something like "a ton of bugs for you to find"

PD is mainly meant for taking out physical objects coming near the ship being defended, whether that be debris, autocannon slugs, fighters, or missiles.

So it still takes out shells of all kinds, such as AC's, torpedos and nukeshells? Makes sense. PD dedicated to dangerous things. The figter part seems pretty fun to me...

Bump-de-bump, bumping my thread to announce that I'm trying out shiny right now.

Here's a nice screenshot of this new thing I'm working on:
I'm always too lazy to actually rename these thing into something more descriptive.

Don't worry about the center turret, it's supposed to be under some sections but F11 somehow ignores that.

And for pity's sake, hit me with what I've done wrong. I won't bite you. (yet)

Nice, small. No problems I see. Not really unbelievably awesome, but good, solid.

Really? Huzzah :3 It still needs a name, know anything?

I guess I need to colour things to make them better, but there's probably something else I missed...

Oh hell no, I've just wrecked my flash drive. (stupid enough to not make backups of those ships)

Buying new one, but it'll take a while for me to get everything back to what it was.

I tell ya what would make it awesome, if you coloured it black and yellow and called it 'Flash-drive'.

Good one xD

I wrecked the new one (never buy stuff from Lexar then...) but I'll just do things from my laptop for now until I find time/money for a new ICIDU (since they never broke with me)

...What the fuck was that. You mean my first shiny ship? Yes, it might be crude but I'm inexperienced with those things right now.
