Title: RELEASE: The Nurgo
Post by: Nyctaeus on September 03, 2022, 03:14:47 pm
So... BrotherBryon and I decided to finally rework a thing... And guess what! We decided to take one of the unfortunate ones, burdened with The Curse.

This little fella is untouched since 1999. There were attempts at doing so, there were reworks of old tiles... But this poor thing still uses vanilla mesh.

So: Dear vanilla Argo, you served us for much longer when your authors anticipated. And you did great job at transporting cargo and civilians fleeing from Capella, boarding operations and happily dying from Shivan missiles, torpedoes and beams. Today you close your eyes...

...to be reborn!

I currently have no access to FSU SVN and it's gonna be like that for at least couple days, so

Thank you for delivering this. The Argo really, really deserved a proper upgrade.

Imo it's a ship that gets used a lot and it was in dire need of an upgrade.
Thank you for your work!

Another ship from the Slavic Shipyards!

The Nurgo is impressive, been using it for a bit. Possibly a slight bug found:

Engine subsystem now impervious to Stiletto missile fire. Can still be damaged by primaries but shrugs off the missile impacts somehow. Noticed this and tried hitting it with secondaries from various angles to little effect. I've filed this report of unexpectedly durable propulsion section hull plating to the Argo cost reduction bureau

Update. Engine bug is confirmed, and this version is now effectively obsolete. Asteroth provided fix that will be available in next MVPs [or this Discord post (https://discord.com/channels/223511295431933953/771694903435460619/1100259254952271893) for impatient].
