But wait there's more!
Warning to the casual reader: Some of this beta testing may be considered spoilers so do not read if you don't want to be spoiled.
1) Initial ship is labeled as a walrus as opposed to the vanilla Unitrans tug. When I select it to see its layout I get: Scanning process aborted: Unknown source. Based on the graphic of the ship it looks like I have an upper Bardice turret and lower Gatling turret. As a test I attacked the patrol that stops you as you enter Gredos. The Walrus took only shield damage and took out that four fighter patrol. Pretty dangerous for a beginner ship.
2) When I switched to Ray's transport I see that I do in fact have a Bardice and a Vulcan in the inventory as well as a scutum, eagle and veil. I assume that was the equipment I could not see on the Walrus. Also, there is a Gen 3 Black Stormcrow fighter in the hold. Not sure where that came from since neither the walrus or Heavy trans have hangers. All that combined may be a bit OP for the start, especially the fighter being a gen 3 since it will take awhile to fly it.
3) Tried docking the Heavy Trans at Triton station but it just flew there and would not dock. I flew to the North intrasystem portal and again, it would just fly to it and through it but it would not dock. I was able to jump to Aurora to continue the plot though. Also, I was able to dock at placid docs.
4) I noticed that you added the option "SW3 story switch blocker" to either take the new ship or decline to keep your old mothership at points in the campaign where you switch ships. I think this a nice addition but I did come across a bug:
On a lark, I declined the switch to the pirate base Mastif. The story cutscene still played but when it ended I was just an empty plot in space. The Mastif is shown in the distance as being unmanned but the heavy transport is no longer visible. To see if it was just a visual error, I pressed the "select all" and tried moving via the map. Nada, I am just stuck in empty space. I pressed "I" and when I select mothership it does show the Heavy trans template with my character and Ternie as crew, however I am still unable to manipulate the ship. Maybe warn people of this in the instructions or disable the "SW3 story switch blocker" in the early game.
More to come tomorrow. I think I overfilled your plate for today
