Please post any layout issues for the 1.484 ships here.
This is NOT a discussion thread. Opinions on ship balance should be posted elsewhere. This thread is ONLY for reporting issues with weapon arcs and actual layout problems.
The ships we are currently testing are:
Scouts
Frigates
Destroyers
Cruisers
Please do NOT post layout issues for any classes which are not listed above. We will delete any posts not relevant to this thread.
Many thanks.

It'll always be like that on paper.
ICC can bring more HP to one facing than UGTO can, but UGTO have more HP in total.
ICC are also the defencive faction, which means they get less weapons at the expense of the greater defence (and yes, being able to bring more HP to one facing than the other factions, even though they have more total, is an advantage, and a big one at that).
I would like to remind EVERYONE that just because something LOOKS like it has more, does not mean it is necessarily better. Which is why the likes of the TC, and edventually the EAD, will look like monsters, but when you take them for a spin, they will be very evenly matched.
And again, this is only for Cruisers and below. Please don't test Dreadnoughts or Stations.

Is the Flux Wave symbol supposed to look like a Build/ELF/Dictor/?
Are Beams supposed to have a max range of under 140 gu? seems they were 150 in the past (side note: will they have any power to damage now?)

The UGTO Battle cruiser has two (default emp) cannons on only aft. These seem rather pointless.

* * * SHIP CONFIGURATION ISSUES ONLY * * *
I am NOT wanting a discussion about relative DPS from various ship classes. The only thing I want posted in this tread is actual layout problems. Nothing else.
No thoughts.
No comments.
Create another thread if you want to discuss things, this thread is NOT the place.

Noticed in Bug reporting [Psi cannon projectile not drawn correctly. ] Not sure if this is same issue, or if it might help described this way but...
Psi cannon projectile Fires SIDEWAYS on the Nymph, and Stinger.
Also.
Drainer: One weapon (no icon no description) appears to do nothing when fired. I assume since I saw no ELF beam that this was supposed to be the ELF
Parasite: Two weapons (no icon no description) appear to fire red colored beam type weapon. Not sure what its supposed to be, or if the effect is intended.
Parasite, Scale and possibly all Missile capable ships: Minimum and Maximum Ranges on Shredder missiles and PSI Missiles are switched. in SOME cases PSIs fire at 50 gu, while shredders fire at 488gu minimum range. (also appears that in some ships PSI fires TWO PSI per slot while in others Shedders fire TWO per slot)
Side note and opinion: A ship called a DRAINER and requiring a Badge and a Commander Rank IMO should be capable of two things. 1) out gunning the Shell (Commander NO Badge) and 2) living up to its name "Drainer".....consider adding a 2nd ELF ? Possibly create a Torpedo (PSI Torp, or ELF Torp) that does either Energy or systems Damage?
Aside from the Missile issue, the (no icon no description) Beam issue, and the lacking Offensive Capability of the Drainer, I found no other "Ship Layout Issues"

Knowing Dreads and Stations are not Supposed to be placed in here,
But Knowing what Changes have been made to ships or whole factions, you tend to see things that are again wrong.
I'll post those here below regardless of ship class, i hope you understand.

- L001
K'Luth Krill has IE drives instaid of AME

doing the new ICC dreadnought layouts, i have noticed some issues, which i will list here.
Missile Dreadnought:
two Armor icons have Chemical Beam Laser icons, and they can be changed to Pulse lasers. changing back to CBL's, they are regular beams, and an armor plate is lost.
Assault Dreadnought:
two Armor icons have the CBL icon issues, and one armor is an Organic armor. the two remining armors are correct.
Bomber dreadnought:
CBL icon issue with one armor plate.
Sector Commmand Base:
one armor plate with CBL issue.

hmm strange, but good that Leo found em.
But some parts it may be true, because of the upgrade list ICC will get there own named Standard CL, named CBL "Chemical Beam Laser".
Maby some Dev read my post #L003 and started to change all ICC ships out ???
Annycase there have been manny changed over the last month.
We just need to recheck it.

I remember hearing somebody (think it was doran) saying he did the ICC cruisers, station and dread gadgets. I'm guessing that was in the latest update

ICC Heavy Cruiser.
1 of the Chemical Beam laser is acting like a device and is located next to the aux generator. you can turn it on and off but it wont fire.
