So, no new missions again this AM. Thanks fer the heads-up RelayeR. I'll try again later.

i dont know about all this object oriented froo froo and abstract language tutu wearing tofu eating stuff.

real men use perl and assembly language. i mean come on.

all this 'dumbing down' of computers is going to lead us straight to hell, where bill gates feeds us little nutrient pills on conveyor belts and makes us pay for shitting.

i say you go back to the old system. and maybe reconsider fortran. fortran 77 mind you not this latte drinking granola eating fortran 90 object orientated stuff.

Ananzi, do you think you could, I don't know, post things that are on topic?

no, if he did that he wouldnt be ananzi.

Sorry everyone, I added a mission-performance tracking system (for individualized rewards) last night and didn't quite finish debugging it before I was too tired to see straight. I'm fairly sure I could have the escort mission playable within an hour or two, but most likely I'll keep improving it, or start porting the Hive or fleshing out the pirate mission.

pierat missions! wooooooha!

Get some rest too.

How dare you Leber! I challenge you to an account-deletion-deathmatch!
/sarcasm ;p

/me sends in reinforcements of Chirstmas cookies to the office on Monday. Ray's in charge of bringing them in.

I wasn't trying to rush things this morning. My understanding was that you had the escort missions going and Spellcast's remark reinforced that understanding. I was just reporting that they were not present.

Take your time Michael and DO NOT overextend yourself on our account. Eat some cookies!

:-)

Yeah, why don't you devs take a day off, get back on a normal sleep cycle, have a nice dinner somewhere, and then come at it again fresh...

Translation: Hit the tequila... and don't stop until you see your ancestors.

I'll take a day off when the game is ready to advertise or on xmas, whichever comes first. (edit: I am in no way forcasting a deadline, mgl-mouser is indeed jumping the AGT so to speak)

I think the escort mission is fully working right now, and I'm going to tentatively start it up universe-wide (on the test server of course). I'll be working on the Hive (group hive-hunt missions), and it will probably be a little while before I need to start debugging that. But I make no guarantees:) You may be kicked off abruptly! Also, we use a special dev-only chat channel to interact with deliverator, which, in the current interface, makes it almost impossible to keep up a conversation with anyone, due to the large number of debug messages (especially with something going universe-wide). I don't see your chat messages wiz by at all, most of the time.

Momerath42 said I'll take a day off when the game is ready to advertise or on xmas

Woah! Stop the press!

This update will mark the date at wich you'll start advertising and we'll have some reasonable means to fulfill this ludicrous 40 mentor point goal without cheating?

Woot!

I knew this was going to be big.

Momerath, Christmas is overrated. Get that game ready! But do get some sleep once in a while.

/ms goes to write up some mentoring notes as preparation for the incoming n00b onslaught.

*believes mgl_mouser is jumping a rather large gun*

Bugs...

I took an escort mission from Latos N-15... messages displayed properly. There were 4 ships - 3 moths, 1 centaur. We jump to Latos B-6 (our final destination being Ukari L-2. My character is UIT hated), and the 4 ships proceed to the center of the sector. They sort-of muddle around in the middle, and a minute later, the mission completes itself. I get significant TPG standing increase, combat +500, and 1k credits. A few seconds later, the TPG ships start to turbo towards the wormhole, and to my extreme joy and surprise, start randomly exploding. I pick up the moth's cargo and sell it at a nearby station.

Another: I take an escort mission from Latos C-2 to Dau somewhere... I get no message, and no convoy leaves (there was another xang xi convoy headed up through Azek, but I am doubtful it was the escort mission convoy.

By the way, I'm not sure if you want us to send in bug reports or just post here... ah, I'll just start sending bug reports.

BUG!
i had not cancelled a mission last time i left when they were still broken and now when i log in it is sitting there and when i cancel it it freezes up the station leaving all things blank! hooray!

Storm exit points desperately need to be fixed. Me and my convoy enter Dau H-12 at the same time from the same place, going to the same place. Our exit points are many thousands of meters apart. D'oh!

Also, when we left H-12, I got the message "The convoy is warping to Dau H-12, stay close". They were really going to O-6. I didn't get any more "The convoy is warping" messages after that.

Then, I didn't get any mission bonus until I killed myself. Quite odd.

Oh, you took the escort/suicide mission, Rogue.
