Welcome to Vendetta Online 1.8.117

Changelog:
*** Vendetta 1.8.117
- Manufacturing the Teller-Ulam Mine in the Conquerable Station now
has reduced requirements (Queen Processors instead of Queen
Matrix). Mission can only be taken twice per day.
- Missile turrets around Conquerable Stations now do less damage
and have a lower top speed. Other missile turrets are unaffected.
- Web page submission system for in-game player-created events.
See http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/events for more information.
- Audio system now has a limiter to prevent clipping when too many
loud sounds are played at the same time.
- Audio system resamples the sound to the sampling rate that the OS
reports. This only affects Windows Vista and Windows 7.
- Fixed 'Empty Convoy' bug.
- Fixed a bug where turreted ship weapon group tab would permanently
hide the turret ports.
- Fixed a bug where taking an escort mission, launching, and then
changing the nav route would cause the jump navpoint to be too near
the station.
- Fixed a bug where two people would try conquering a station at the
same time and they're both let in but only one can set a key.
- Station conquer timer is now shown to players who enter the sector
after the 2 minute countdown already started.
- Conquerable station docking bay no longer says 'Press the Activate
key to dock' during the time the station isn't conquerable.
- When in a capship turret, the 'Target too far to scan' message is
no longer displayed on the HUD.
- High-density sectors in Deneb can no longer have storms appear in
them.
- Fixed a bug where Intel GMA950-based PCs running Windows XP would
default to showing the station in the menu instead of hiding it for
performance reasons.
- Fixed a bug where the player who conquered a station wouldn't get
free ship repairs until they redocked.

Turret bug here, http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/2/22849#284429

Aye, solid progress.

And unexpected on the week of the Game Dev Conf!

I'm glad to the the uber missile turrets dialed back.

"Audio system now has a limiter to prevent clipping when too many

This one seems to have helped a lot with my sound issues playing on Linux 64. At least, think that's the one that did it.
