- station prevents someone from connecting an addon if they don't have the required licenses

Wait... no more giving weaps to noobs? no more collecting medium batts on Beginner's Combat Practise? But... does it mean that we will be able to load weapons as cargo Really Soon(tm)?

Very good work on bugfixes! Thank you a lot!

i don'T quite get this one:
- support for animating controls. HUD cargo element uses this

He means when you press "o" the ship's HUD cargo element opens and closes.

Further minor bugfixes and changes, leading up to more significant alterations.

Changelog:

- fixed all references to 'battery' and changed them to 'power cell'
- changed zoom button to 'Zoom to System' in nav menu
- client updates faction/licenses correctly now
- hud weapon progress bar is now more accurate and doesn't reset when the hud is closed and opened
- new station/pda current cargo count is updated when cargo count changes
- %lastprivate% variable for who last msged you, so we can make a /msg %lastprivate% command and a /reply command.
- station prevents someone from connecting an addon if they don't have the required licenses - Poor, poor newbies
- tried to make advancement log only update when it is visible
- changed sort function in ship load/unload tab to sort by name first
- changed order of station dialog closing to handle port auto-save properly
- support for animating controls. HUD cargo element uses this
- mining tutorial uses 1) 2) menu so it works in the new station interface
- limited support for hotkeys in pda and newstation

I had Jayce doing some Hive Skirmish missions and notice the missions call the Hive "the Itani-space Hive" now. So, um, any word on when the New Hive finally goes galaxy-wide? I seem to remember that first you needed to create some newbie-training bots so they don't go against the Hive from day 1.

One other thing I noticed, in regard to "station prevents someone from connecting an addon if they don't have the required licenses". Now, I like this idea because I know caveats are coming, BUT, today Jayce, who's 7/7/6/8/0, tried to equip a neut3 and wasn't allowed to. Obviously, this is because the N3 is limited to tanis and sercos (Jayce being UIT and all). If I simply HAD to use N3s I'd complain, but since I consider them a novelty, rather, I'm not put off; I'll probably sell them to some lazy tanis or serco. But people WILL whine about this, specially since I already saw some doing it. Oh, this happened in Sedina, too, in case you wanna know.

"- station prevents someone from connecting an addon if they don't have the required licenses"

well that absolutley blows big time really really sucks infact its more annoying that having 30+ unbots sitting at the odia/sedina wh. can not stress enough how much this sucks

Hello,
I managed to destroy some hard bots and collected weapons and hive fast charge powercells.
These were very difficult fights, against powerfully equiped bots.
It should be allowed to use these captured add ons.
Regards.

A recursive link?

Anyway, I concur with the opinion that level restrictions should not be active for salvaged items. It prevents players from helping new players by allowing them to equip items for events or group missions, to name only a few annoyances.

However, if we get transportability of equipment for that, keep it that way...

Or just Corvus...
Or allow for bribes...

... Wait, haven't we heard these suggestions before? ;)

On the subject of: "station prevents someone from connecting an addon if they don't have the required licenses", my character is Serco, but was unable to mount my (stocked) N3's.

Could we get an wee-bit better explaination on how this works?

I don't know why the N3's don't work. I'll have to ask Ray.
