In Progress page updated (7/28)

Just a heads up for those who don't know already:

"(Update, Mon 07/28):

Development is progressing well. The new Sector Daemon is fundamentally functional (we made our Friday deadline), permitting connections and answering properly with the new protocol. Now that the basics are working, this coming week will be used to bring to re-create all the old gameplay, rewritten in LUA 5. The new sector system is much more elegant and extensible, but still requires a lot of work. We're shooting for 90% of gameplay being functional by the end of the week (Friday the 1st). Production release may occur on the following week, depending on what bugs or other issues crop up.

The new component-based station design is also progressing well. A teaser image of some of the station components will be showing up this week."

ow you mean they did made their aimingdate ?

So we didnt have to test the backend, the backend is being tested by the devs and when they see that it works adequate, we can test it? Am I right or am I right :D.

me congratulates the devs "me remambers coding and not attaining his predetermined date ever :("

Little sidenote: Will money and score and so on be reset when 3.3 comes out? Forummoderator, any ideas ?

I highly doubt there will be a reset. Unless the entire economy has changed completely.
Jul 29, 2003 genka link
Well, the dynamic economy is being introduced.
/me sincerely hopes that the economy is reset, along with all the other stuff.

OH....there BETTER be a reset. Everyon is too rich. The money has to be reset and it would be good if the prices on stuff could be increased too, or the trading routes be less profitable.
Jul 30, 2003 The Kid link
money reset, not so broken secret sector economy, maybe create 1 huge profit sector with furies that have those frigate weapons, except weapons take up more energy.
Jul 31, 2003 roguelazer link
FULL reset would be nice, since all teh bots are going to be different, and the ways of making money are going to be changed!

Wombatula: the devs would like us to have rediculous amounts of cash so that we can spend it on testing. Though I think a reset would be a good idea it's probably way to early to balance the economy such that things are difficult to buy.
