Yeah, that's a different problem. Sometimes sectors are eating up 800 megs of ram and thrashing the server. That's a new feature, it seems.

And the Dau system loading bug was tracked down to a problem with jumping one sector diagonally down/right on the nav map. It was computing the entry position incorrectly. That's now fixed.

There's also a new "Extremely High" mode for backgrounds.. which kicks butt.. and you can really be blinded by the suns now it seems (maybe I just haven't noticed these before)

Devs, except for the minor bot bugs and stuff, this update kicks butt. The new font is much clearer and easier to read. It also looks cleaner. Uh... something else I was going to say... oh, the nav grid looks neat and it's much easier to just hit n to leave the nav screen than clicking "Close". Unfortunately, I've almost gotten used to clicking "Close", so it's not doing me too much good, as of yet. But, all in all, a *very* helpful update. No huge changes of course, but all needed things. Thanks.

Hmm, wasn't extremely high for backgrounds available before though?

/me looks at mcnut with skepticism

I'll Fifth (or is that sixth) the OS X framerate boost. I was getting avg. 40, now I'm getting avg 90-150fps, which is unheard of on my machine.

The OS X framerate boost seems very real to me. It's great !!!!
Sectors load much faster too. It's all GOOD.

The L-Port Plasma Canon was also renamed to "Plasma Devastator" to avoid confusion with the S-Port Plasma Canon : nice idea

Yup the framerate is faster on OSX generally all over the game, bot lags are lower and the loadingtime are faster between the sectors :)

Good work!

Love testing this game!

I really love the new update! Truly! It's been tweaked a bunch, really makes the gameplay smoother. There is one thing I don't understand...so...you have unlimited turbo? I guess that's cool...but someone just explain to me why it is cool. And...someone explain the mass sytem...I am concerned it will take awhile to get used too...

Currently, I think everything is great...but now the fun factor should be pushed toward perfection, at least above the standard of satisfaction. Like I said before...changing factions should be either more fun...or a faster process. And individual trade items would make things less confusing. KEEP UP THE ÜBER WORK!

Cheers mates!
