Please?

Michael isn't completely solid on releasing the missions yet, sorry. People are still welcome to continue playing with them on the test server (we synched the database the other night). He told me he thinks it'll be solid for monday, but it hasn't made it this week. Sorry.

/me pokes Calder.
"Shaddup. Let the man work."

/me follows Leber's suggestion for once and shuts up. Thanks Inc!

I've been on the test server three or four times in the past week and haven't seen the new missions. Tried a couple of faction stations and a couple of Capitols. Are they up all the time or am I checking the wrong locations?

They haven't been up as much as they should have been, but they are right now. I'd love it if some people took the escort mission. Still working on the pirate and new hive-hunt missions.

ohohoh I'll take some escort missions. But I have to wait for my parents to go out so I don't get yelled at for playing vendetta instead of working on a term paper.

Umm..
Thats the spirit!!

Actually, it's early in the week so we all have to wait for later in the week again!

I hope not. I've been working all weekend to make it releasable early this week.

W00t! It's early this week already!

w00t! It's monday already!

w00t! and I'm still up working. I'm on the verge of having npc pirates (and players if they take the mission, but that was already working) come after the convoys that pass through systems with corvus stations in them.

Still to do before release:
* sector hooks: get, add-to, and remove-from inventory.
* solve remaining mission-not-showing-up bug
* make reputation requirement and reward values reasonable
* success detection for the pirate mission
* some fixes for the rewritten hive
* touching up and testing the new hive hunt mission (which is much simpler than escort or pirate)

* a good round of player testing with a release candidate

As I've said before, it's hard for *me* to estimate how long any of these tasks will take, and I know exactly what is unwritten and what bugs are showing their faces. I hope to have all this done today or tomorrow, but I also hope that keeping you informed doesn't result in more of these "where's the release you 'promised'" threads. We're working our asses off, making progress, and trying to keep you all informed; try to be patient :)

w00t! We're patient!

w00t isn't this a troll thread?

w00t! Tr0ls!

No. We're just excited about upcoming changes and overly cheerful.

w00t! It's friday already!

Just kidding.

Just intrested in what you guys are doing; I don't wait for the update anymore as I've sortof dropped hope or something.

w00t! More update for US!

Eheh. Well, even if the update came about tonight, I wouldn't have much time until the 29th or so.

My brain hurts!

But other than that... Woot for Devs!

NINNIES!

why should i work on extra projects without getting payed?

thats what i do at my real job.

i want free play time before i spend 5 hours doing QA testing.
