Ray: Just checked, and yes, it's the changing of the resolution/switching to or from window mode, and even changing the font scaling.

Thanks!

Ok new problem. I was messin around on the Test server (free play, what can I say), and ran into the following.

I could not equip a Hog with any weapons. The small port was indicated, and I could select it, but when I selected the weapon and hit "equip"... nothin. The large port wasn't even shown.

Same sort of deal on the vultures. Except they were missing a small port. And I couldn't equip anything into the one that was there.

So I grabbed a vult that had some guns already and got this:

I went to a few other stations to make sure it wasn't just some strange anomoly in D-14. I found that it was indeed only effecting the Vult and Hog (I tried a wraith and a Rev C, both worked fine).

Should I try redownloading the game? Or is this something that others are experiencing?

Yeah, a few others were experiencing it on the test server a few days ago.

Yeah, happened to me as well, Gav. Same two ships.

So this is just on the test Server?

The test server with the not-equipping problem, yes. The production server still has misplaced "boxes" where the icons go for the placed weapons on several ships.

those addon icon problems only happen on the test server. It wasn't updated with the proper files. It should be fixed now.

I really like the better keyboard support in the station UI, and of course, the overall game is great. But I have *got* to comment on the new UI.

You guys are obviously very talented with the main game, but the UI has always been clunky, and the 1.5 update (in my opinion) is a lot worse. Here are some of my more important problems with the station interface:

* I get no scroll-wheel support (not with the standard Apple Mighty Mouse, anyway)

The top and right-side tabs are very annoying to use:
* The right-side tabs don't have keyboard shortcuts.
* They are so far away from the top tabs, there is a lot of unnecessary mouse movement. After a hard day fighting bots, it's a tiring schlep around the screen to top up on missiles and set the nav back to the battle sector.

* White text is hard to read on the new, lighter-blue/green background.
* There is tons of help text (or space for text) in the right-hand panel, but not much to go in it. The space would be better used flattening out the main navigation so you don't have to click around so much between common tasks (eg, fill up on missiles, set the jump sector, check character skill scores, offload or sell your cargo, check for any new weapons, launch).

I really feel like the update in the UI has been focused on cosmetics, but has not made it any easier to use.

I'm sure there are lots of "usability" folks out there who would be happy to offer their services for free (or a small fee). Including me. I'm sure it would be popular with newbies as well as longtime players.

All the best. :-)

So I went to try things out again on the Test server. Its definately not doing that anymore. Now when I try to load things into the small port on a hog I get this:

Very cool indeed. But I get the feeling I either stumbled onto something in the works, or its still borked. Equiping a small port gun sent it straight to the cargo hold. I could not get it to actually equip as a gun.

it's just broke. Are you using a ship that you already owned before I fixed it? You'll need to sell the ship and repurchase it.

Yeah I was. Too bad, I thought I stumbled on something there :)

On Sat Mar. 25 approx 3:49 GMT, ENB tried to vote a new member into council. Vote command does not seem to work. Spits out the syntax line as if we just type /guild vote. (Dau L-10)

Separate bug, on Thursday evening, was on board UIT Cap ship in Sedina B-8 for Cap Ship display. HUD health meter for turret does not update. Always at 100%.

interlard: mouse wheel doesn't work on the new mighty mouse in VO. It's a known issue and we have to buy one to be able to test it. (unless someone is gracious enough to send us one ;)

I HATE the mighty mouse. I used it for 14 seconds before tossing it in a box. E-mail me a mailing address and I'll send you mine. Might be a bit dusty....

1.5.3 update. Thanks for the hard work guys!

And thank andy for breaking the pms! lmao! Im thinkin a 1.5.4 update or something soon

Edit: yay! 1.5.4!

more bugs.

Do this :

Go to a WH and Warp.

During the WH exit animation, hit ESC to bring out the options menu, and then click on "GRAPHICS" before the WH animation ends. The Graphics options screen will get stuck and requires a client exit to get off (it will persists even after logout).

This bug has been present since beta7, but I couldn't figure out how to reproduce it until just now.

FYI, I am using AMD64 linux client.

BAD BUG:

after the last update... my cilent cant connect to the server.
And thats kinda a bad problem.

My connection is fine and ive checked my permissions on my firewall, nothing is blocking it, it just times out.

It's just an aesthetics bug. The more players/NPCs in sector, the farther down the close button goes. I dissappears with enough people/bots in the sector.

Chikira: I haven't seen anyone else report anything like this. Are you sure the problem isn't on your end?
