This is an attempt to start a monthly Q&A session wherein users can submit questions and we answer them in a different thread.
Please keep your replies as coherent as possible - we want to give you the right answer to your question, not a meaningless one.
Rules:
- Only post questions.
- If a user has already posted a question you want to ask, quote the question - do not quote people quoting others. Quote pyramids will be deleted, and repeat offenders will find their posting rights removed.
- Trolling posts will be removed, and users posting them will find their posting rights removed from the entire forum for an undetermined amount of time.
- Users posting replies that aren't questions will find their posts removed. Repeat offenders will find their posting rights removed.
Now we've got that out of the way - post your questions.

Can you make a comparison between default and alternative gadgets? And can you create that page in DS Wiki for quick reference?
Default gadget such as IE drive, normal armor etc. Alternative gadget such as PFE drive, albative armor etc. I'm really looking forwards to that page cause until now I have no clue about pros & cons between gadgets to make correct decision.
Thanks in advance.

What happened with DS Assault? I know the website and everything for it is gone now so I pretty much figure it's been dropped, but was it because of lack of time/manpower to develop it, issues with finding an engine, or something else?
Will we see any updates to the scenario server to reflect the map changes in MV?
Also,

Q: Can it be made so that changing a players name cost credits like MS do with xbox names and can joining/leaving a fleet cost credits, also can changing factions be locked to a certain amount of time like the current way switching a fleets faction is? (good way of DS making some money as LOTS of players regularly change there player name and also a good way of stopping people being sly) (one week ill insult you, the next week i change my name and pretend to be your best buddy)
P.s. this should cost more then any current enhancement costs to buy.

When a ship gets "changed" for better or for worse can the gear on that ship be given back with out a penaltay so the player can make a "Fair" choice as to if we wants to use it on that "new version" of the ship or not?

Since we have pages of suggestions with additional contend :
Can we have an overview of player submitted suggestions, that "might get used" in the (near) future ?

Can scenario servers be played randomly rather than at a set map for a set time?

will the Platinum Star achivement be properly awarded to players who have the 6 required platinum badges?
can players know about the progress of ships being built in a shipyard planet? also can players be given option to cancel the construction of their own ships being built?
what function is the EW fighter (EWAS, SRR) meant to do? also will kluth receive a similar fighter in future?
should flux cannons, HCLs and assault disruptors be allowed to function as PD beams? if no then when may they be removed from the group of PD-capable beams?
is there a significant or noticeable difference between the 3 variants (raptor-ion tracker-phoenix) of missiles in each tier (small-medium-heavy), aside from damage and ammo? if no, then can they be made more "different" from each other?
p.s.- tough rules for a thread

This plus can we have Dres added to the rotation, and other fun maps like Esp ind. and procyon? Haven't seen them in so long.

- Are DS models (final models used) unimeshed or created in layers/parts?
- How are they textured? (UV mapped with a single texture map, or what?)
- Can you please provide some kind of process tutorial on a sample ship with regards to modelling/texturing?

What are the current plans set forth with the new AI set up?
Would it be possible to go to a bit more open moding of ships (IE a combat dessie has 96 points to spend on gagets ect)

Is it possible to allow enhancements to be purchased through a factory on a planet or at least allow players to pick through their collection from ingame.
also is there any plans to deploy new weapon types for the factions as well as updated ship models.
lastly is there plans to merge weapon and beam enhancements cause last time i checked a beam weapon is still a weapon so why can't we have one enhancement that applies to all weapon types. also can there be a enhancement that can maybe increase torp travel speed and range.
