- Better bot path finding around asteroids.
- Teradons are included in some convoys.
- Fixed a BS/HS respawn problem.

This was released last night, but we didn't get the MOTD up until this morning..

Also, this may fix the "Tridents in Small skirmishes" thing. Please let us know.

errr.. added Teradons or Tridents to convoys?

Do Teradons even carry cargo?
Are Tridents in convoys (again)?

Teradons, as we haven't yet fixed the warping-to-nowhere thing when you're on a convoy capship. And teradons don't have docking bays, so it's a simple interim thing to see if, at least, the navigation stuff works right (while we fix the other issue).

You can look at it that there's a lot of really important cargo moving around the galaxy, which has to be heavily defended. Yes.

First impressions are good; the terradons move smoothly and avoid roids well even in storms. I did see a couple of minor collisions between them and the moth heavies as they warped. Difficult to be be precise, but it seems to be as the terradon swings to align with the jump point in the destination sector.

Anyway, good progress.

Ive observed 2 factions with teradon voys, Orion and Ineubis, are there others?

EDIT: I found an axia one, and XX's have been reported....

put tridents in voys too, just make it so people can't dock in them... i just want to pop them for their juicy insides.

thx!

Then you have people demanding to be able to dock with the Tridents you can't dock with. More hassle than it's worth, in my opinion.

just make it so people can't dock in them

That is a special case. Special cases are a Bad Thing.

just claim there is no room due to the cargo, hell make it a special cargo varient, replace the gauss turrets with high powered more accurate gatling turrets, and reduce the armor (to cut the weight down for the cargo.

Or add a force un dock routine that while i'm sure is a pain in the bitch to do resolves this problem in skirmishes and voys across the board.

You're supposed to be able to dock in capships in skirmishes. That's the point.
