I updated the In Progress page earlier today, FYI.

Last week was all debugging, and we didn't have a proper monday company meeting, hence the lack of update.

I was just looking at flag caps.

:-D

say.. could you reset all the chars as well as the nations?

Mmm, the new stuff is all good, can we make the defense ships 350 bots? Mmmmmmmmm

genka, that'd only make sense if they were SIGNIFIGANTLY changing the way we get points/money, ie if they were reducing all trading profits by 50%. If it's just changing the way we cap flags, well, reset the flag caps!


PS: incarnate, you DO mean flag caps, right? 'cause you can't reset the Nation Points status without resetting EVERYONE's points

not again, not again a moneyreset :(

Or is it only flag caps ?

cheers

If they reset my inventory I'd be shocked.

/me resets Blaster's inventory, permanently banishing his scrap metal hoard to the abyss.

Yey! Home Sector defense will go a long way to attracting more testers.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put at LEAST 6 bots in 4, 6, and 12. Have their patrol stations start at the non home gates. IE 7 and 8 in 4, 5 and 13 in 12, and 10 and 11 in 6. IE 3 bots per. ALSO, if more than 2 enemies come into the sector, PLEASE have another group of 3 bots spawn!

Also, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make these bots EVIL NASTY SOB's.

Agreed. We need defense!

And slap some frigate turrets on all stations while you're at it, to destroy any hostile station campers, miners, and nukers. The no-fire zone should kick in as soon as possible.

hmm.

How am I supposed to continue to "cap the holy crap out of gold"? Even if you're not looking...defense bots....turrets....you trying to make this hard or something?

a single person can capture a flag if no one's on. no teamwork required. additional defense is a must. and im still baffled as to why there are no bots in sectors 1, 2, and 3.

i agree with this completely. it's past time that something was done about station miners. i once recommended an anti-mine field but that idea lost its integrity when people rejected it.

Frigate turrets = a must need.

Imagine just placing some of these in the roid field in the home sectors, it be great to cause havoc, it'll turn it from wait and grab to grab and run.

I very much agree. 3.2.0 was supposed to rollout with badass defense bots, but then they ended up being broken defense retards. So now, 8 versions and a completely new pathfinding system later, I hope we can remedy that.

I also intend to make some of other sectors a lot more difficult. 18 is supposed to be the sort of sector a group of skilled players would try to reach as a team. Note the "try".

Anyway, we'll see how it goes.

um... does that mean i'm not gonna be able to take my centaur to sector 18 anymore? i've only got 20 mines. combined with the centaur's sluggish manuverability, it's already difficult not to get all shot to hell.

oh well, i like challenges *thinks of other high profit trade routes.* :)

Also, i'd like to see bots being more skilled then insanely fast, an arena would be useful to, i'd love to dual bots in groups of 1, but they always come in groups of 3...

/me wants an arena sector with a station people can dock at and watch.

18 is scarily easy right now. I can get there and back in a pizza cutter with no damage 9/10 times.

How long until a mapped expansion of the 'universe' as well? I'm feeling cramped...
