neato. I knew there would be an update tonight!

And now I know why Moda was so excited about it!

After the update, I cannot log in. Is this due to the high traffic on the sever with so many logins, or is there a problem?

I thought the whole point was that you didn't need to push an update for new stuff now?

The update didn't actually include the items, they put them in a little while after.

Yes, the update added the ability change things on the fly

Strictly speaking, we already had the ability to update things on the fly, but we found a few issues that needed fixing, plus background code for other areas of the game (Kourier, etc).

We have some more updates to push out on Monday, to fix some client-updating issues (client dealing with data changes from the server). Then we will (hopefully) be good to go on new dynamic changes and updates.. although I'm sure this'll still require more testing as we use it.

Also, note that the new weapon is directly from this suggestion:
http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/19253
(although it ended up an Ineubis addon instead of TPG as suggested). Not bad, 8 days for a major addon suggestion?

Good stuff :-)

Neut II, meet obsolescence. Obsolescence... meet Neut II.

I like it. :)

No way, inc implemented another one of my suggestions!

This is absurd. :D You devs rock.

neato, a new toy to play with!

Very nice!

Of course Aramarth, you went nationalist, rampaging freak that I totally like that you did that, and back to nationalist. You've practically been everywhere in the VO universe doing that.

I really only like that you did that cuz Itani and Serco don't really invade like in the backstory, causing an unfair drop in Serco-Itani fights besides BS/BB/BP and NW.

Also, you have some awesome ideas.

Uh... what?

huh? Crashing sectors? what?

I know you used to be able to overload the server by buying a near infinite number of free bus cannons.

Soooo... guessing something like that? That or a Lua debacle.

I have no idea what Yoda is talking about. Whenever we've been aware of a major crash issue, we've fixed it.

Mmm...Ineubis gets some love (heh).

Lets see how this works out.

What are the stats of the heavy miner?

I'm excited to see these changes. How about a three lport heavy combat support ship?

Wikified the new ship and gun this morning.
