- Lightning mines don't slow down the client as much when
they are damaging you
- Moved Eo's Welcome station from Edras I2 to Jallik M6 and
renamed station to Eo's Peace
- Moved Edras Crossroads station from Edras B11 to Verasi O7
and renamed station to Verasi Crossroads
- Changed sector monitored status of changed sectors
accordingly
- Added 2 client interface options: one for F/A indicator,
and one for F/A notification text
- Changed declare command in lua interface to take a second
argument that initializes the declared variable

Note: more lightning mine fixes (relating to NPCs aggroing properly) are in the works, but didn't make it in this week. We had some major server-crash type debugging that took priority. We should be able to improve lightning mines next week.

Now you really have to turn over to read JahelaJ's name!

Thanks John, Andy, Ray and Michael ;-)

It's Movin Day

The landlord said this mornin' to me
Let's have that key, this rent ain't free
I can't live on nothin', you see
Pack up your bags and skidoo, you

Because it's movin' day, movin' day
Rip the carpet right off of the floor
Get on your overcoat, get out the door
It's movin' day, pack up your bags and get away
If you can't pay your rent you got to live out in a tent
It's moo-oo-oovin' day

Man, I didn't think anybody would notice, RelayeR.

FiReMaGe guessed it last night on IRC.

It would be really awesome to move the Jallik M-6 (previously Edras I-2) station to Jallik E-15, so there would be 2 stations there.

EDIT: and why is the Verasi O-7 station 14k out from the wormhole with no asteroids around except around the station?

FM guessed it, and I checked and verified. Then RelayeR logged in later on :P

Note: FM guessed without going ingame. >_>

trade Jallik M-6 (previously Edras I-2) station and Jallik E-15 that way we would have a commercial station not a research one guarding our wh.

Nooo.... the items at M-6 really suck.

"Nooo.... the items at M-6 really suck."

But it has turrets to protect us and our CtC =p

are there really turrets along the itani ctc route?

There are people who still didn't know about RelayeR?

look... no hands.. no of course not Jallik M-6 (previously Edras I-2) has them now though.

Maybe the wh sectors should have turrets though.

And next we need to get rid of the other nation stations in Grey to be fair to all nations

hmm, edras is now a bit empty .... how does that work out for the prospecting missions ?

Ecka the sad old miner ,,,,,,

I kind of like the emptiness. All of grey should be more empty IMHO. It gives you a feeling of being out in deep space as opposed to having 2+ stations you can dock at in each sector. Gives it a different feel from nation space. If it were up to me I'd take 1 or 2 grey sectors and remove all the stations from them. Not only would this add that feeling of deep space but it would make death slightly more signifigant in those areas. Of course I don't see this happening, but if it were up to me...

Andy, I check with every update but I had word that "something" was up. I also know it was probably hard to do so, my appreciation is sincere.

smittens, I hope so ;-)

Actually it was really easy to fix. I just had to ask Ray what he thought the problem was, and then ignore his advice. You weren't being spawned upside-down or anything, it's just the background that was wrong.

It's a left- vs. right-handed coordinate problem. The nav map should actually have been upside down from how it is now, so to keep things consistent I had to reverse the Z coordinate on all the stellar objects when rendering the background.

I also forced the warp-in orientation such that your up (Y) direction is the same as the galactic plane's up direction. It was previously usually a little sideways.

Hi

Trade Missions --> Procurement and Trade Missions --> Retreival are borked, they don't work in any itani station (of 12 I tried).

Convoy escort missions are borked.

In fact convoys of NPCs are borked, generally.

When doing missions for itani, even if the advancement log says "itani standing increased significantly", no increase is given, even at low levels.

See the bugs posting.

I saw. We're looking.
