Mikeno Destroyer?

[Lord Trogg]

I've seen in the battles that play in the main menu and sometimes theres this big red ship with two large white engines. I noticed that a wreck of one is placed with tons of stuff in debug mode. My question is wether this ship will be put into the game as another enemy in some future version. Also in the debug mode what does the magic wand do when you dock to it?

I believe the ship you are talking about is called the Mikeno Destroyer. It was the graphic used for Corporate cruisers, many, many versions ago (before I started playing, at least).

I'm not absolutely sure, but I think the magic wand fills up the ship again.

I believe that having an unused graphic is just a waste, and that either it should be gotten rid of to reduce the size of the game, or used as something like a Corporate Superfreighter. It would probably be in the later parts of the middle game, and filled with loot.

Magic wand used to do some stuff with fleet ranks...I don't know if it still does, but it's just a debug tool, I think.

It still does do its thing, Fossaman.

The Mikeno is the ship that drops you off after you get insurance resurrected, no? If it's not currently, that's what it used to be. I'm fairly certain it never filled the purpose that the Corp cruiser does now (vengeance).

[Psycholis]

The corporate cruiser drops you off now after an insurance covered death. So in that case, it might have replaced the mikeno in that one aspect.
