One of two vehicles being released with the NSOverhaul update is the Dervish Heavy Fighter, an air vehicle available to the Nanite Systems Operatives faction. Configuration Unlike its Empire Specific Fighter (ESF) counterparts, the Dervish is a two-seat vehicle that sacrifices agility for durability. The pilot operates nose-mounted forward guns, while a secondary top-gunner can deal with threats ahead, behind, and above. The Dervish is meant as an air superiority fighter, and has limited ground support capabilities. Weaponry Both the nose-mounted and top-mounted hardpoints will have three weapon options available during the initial rollout. The standard DV-22 Raycaster nosegun uses photonically propelled tungsten slugs that remain effective even over long range. The DV-22T Lightweaver ... Read more

Yeah, this is yuck. Never been a fan of the opaque shields, they've always felt weird for both sides. If someone wants to put together a list of where they still exist, I can make the adjustments.

If you remove the outfit loyalty/merit loss upon leaving, I think the new system won't really have any flaws.

This is something to consider. Could be specific to NSO given the nature of the faction, if it came down to it.

Hey there. I'm paying attention to the feedback on this topic, and will weigh it in the balance.

To clarify some of the points, and share rationale behind the design.

Membership is required to join an outfit as NSO

This is true. On Live, you can't actually play your NSO character unless you have membership, so effectively nothing here changes for veterans.

People who stop paying for membership have to get kicked from their outfits

You do not get kicked from your outfit when your membership has ended, but currently lose access to outfit chat and war asset access. Losing access to the outfit coordination, basically putting you in robot jail, is to prevent players from playing for both teams at the same time. Example: You're in a TR outfit, but your outfitmates are fighting for NC. This doesn't represent the behavior we want to see in-game.

There is no reason to play nso...

There was a miscommunication between teams regarding what the work actually entailed. All servers except SolTech are now back online. SolTech will be back up within 30 minutes. Sorry for the disruption.
