I keep putting off my intro post, it'll come soon enough

But the first order of business we can't afford to put off is to get a comprehensive list of bugs/issues going. Betatoxin has done a good job with this already and I'll be borrowing what i can from that post, but he hasn't been around to update it since the 29th.

So, lets start up a new one. Basically make it short and try to limit discussion or arguments... A few issues will be controversial, so even though i have them, let me know if you agree or disagree. Please let me know anything I might be forgetting, and whether it is confirmed or not.

Also, might be a pain in the ass, but if you can, please RATE the bugs and issues, on a scale of 1 to 5, so I can get an average view on what the most important things to take care of are. This goes for ones I already have and ones you will be adding. I will update the thread as much as possible.

So this is what I've got...

BUGS

• Crafted components having names truncated: 2
• Crafter Identification being removed: 5
• No "Ships" category for merchants: 3
• Armor Reinf Mk2 panels not showing up in factory (Fixed)
• Armor Hitpoints HUD Display: 2 (more a pilot issue though)
• Shipwright trainer waypoints incorrect (confirmed?)
• Droid Interface: speed rating (delay) goes up with tiers: 1
• Engine stats being (at least visually) changed upon unloading: 2
• RE: Tool with 1 charge left
• can destroy items: 1
• can just expel items: 2
• can make an item but not let you name it: 3
• Cert levels not displayed on countermeasures: 1
• Bugs with deed generation (random, working on reproduction steps) and redeeding: 1
• Texture kits broken on Black Sun ships: 2

ISSUES

• Crafted components inferior to looted components (y/n? I found them to be very inferior in beta) depend on comp.
• Increased Factory Support (please don't go in to why, just agree or disagree with this one): no
• Player City Shipwright Trainers: do not care
• Shipwright XP not convertable to Force XP (again, please just agree/disagree): should be fixed asap
• Decay (pick more, less, or the same): not sure
• More data from schematics (ship characteristics): would be nice but not pressing
• Mark V mass too high (agree/disagree?): not sure
• Subcomponents not scaling properly with new mass values (since beta): not sure
• e.g. Mark V mass reduction about 3.5k on a 50k mass, better to use lower level component
• RE: Need second chance to name if first choice is reserved: 2
• RE: Relax naming restrictions: 3
• RE: Leave stats window open while naming: 3
• RE: Indicator of RE'd status: it is in the description, not important
• Cert/RE level upon mouse-over in inventory.: especially with those truncated names - 2
• More vendor subcategories to sort: 4
• Player City Starport or Spaceship terminal: would be nice
• Components - More understandable decay indicator: 1
• Components - More detailed schematics
• Chassis - Picture of chassis upon examine: 1
• Chassis - Resource quality not significant (agree/disagree?): disagree
• Experimentation not significant enough? (agree/disagree): disagree
• Texture Kit Preview ability: would be nice 3
