- Changed random number generator for new character name creation. It is seeded once a second, so new names can only be created once a second.
- Colliding with other ships will no longer cause their radar blips to change from green to red.
- Fixed a CTF race condition.

The top change in this release may seem like a minor fix, but it was a major thing for new players who were finding the randomly generated names to be mostly used-up. This re-seeding of the character name generator greatly improves that situation, removing a relatively silly issue. We will also be culling our character names in the not too distant future, predominately those on never-before-subscribed accounts that are older than a year. This should free up a lot of character names. We will not be deleting the old characters or accounts, but rather renaming the characters to include random data blocks. If users wish to revive those characters later, they can request a name change at that point.

You can expect more significant changes this week. We have quite a bit of cool stuff in the works, just not yet ready for prime time.

If this update means that tridents don't automatically become homicidal if you scratch the docking bay with a wing tip while docking in a hurry,then this is actually a pretty major improvement.Yay!

JJDane: If, by homicidal, you mean that they attack you, then no, this does not fix that, because we're not aware of that happening (does it?). What this fixes is just the radar dot turning red because of the damage done to you in the collision (which could be too little to cause the HUD to update).

Good enough for me,being able to hit "target nearest enemy" without getting the turret of the trident you just left is nice too :-)

That's actually extremely nice. Good call JJDane, and great patch devs :).

Thx, Mom! That was really frustating to me, even more against levis...

Now, plz, _/\_ can I use my own turret on next??? ;-D

Double Thanks.
