Most broken release to date?

Jun 16, 2003 xochiluvr link
Right now in sector seven you can see:

Infinite turbo with no power drain
REVERSE infinite turbo which GIVES you energy
Ghosting (aka no clipping)
A bus laying lightning mines

And outside 7:L
There are no nation flags
Half the bots seem to be waiting for Godot...
Don't get me started on the ship changes.......

Now, my question is, has there been a buggier release?

This isn't a complaint - I really want to know.

Yes. As I recall 3.1.11 or 12 crashed every few minutes, and you couldn't get from sector to sector without crashing one or both. We had some fun with that, and the Devs fixed it within five hours. :) I suspect a fix for these problems is in the works. Have faith!

I've seen everything except the bus thing. I'll have to look into that. The infinite turbo is nice, because it means 40m/s faster trading!

I think the bus was me, I didn't actualy lay that mine while in the bus, it stayed there from when I was running about in a warthog, I just flew up to it, making it look like I had just put it down.

This is a BETA TEST! Any time you make changes on a large scale something is bound to break in the process. This is the nature of software development and this is the reason why we are here. The developers are doing a super job considering they are programing for various different platforms and they need our constructive critique. That is the purpose of this forum.

Yeah true... I mean if people hadn't found all the new test commands the devs probably would've easily forgotten to take 'em out for future releases, leaving 'em hidden for a long time. I know some individuals who probably would use 'em to their advantage without mentioning anything about it to bug reporter.
