Mysterious Capital Ship in 3.2.3

Check out the "In-Progress" page

New sectors, new capital ship and better bots <drool!>

"Secondary and Tertiary weapons disabled when invulnerable" is a bit strange? I assume primary weapons will still work, so pirates can just group all weapons under primary and still station exploit to death. Am I wrong?

You are somewhat wrong, regarding the weapons.

Right now, primary weapons are disabled when invulnerable, due to certain exploits by certain unnamed folk. Secondary and tertiary weapons, however, appear to work fine. This is where a present exploit lies, and will be prevented in future revisions.

Don't be hard on pirates, be hard on cheaters. There's a whole world of difference there.

Thanks for clearing that up about the weapons, and the only people I know who use that exploit are pirates, QED.

The community reminds me more of a bunch of kids in the back of the car whining, "Ray, are we there yet?"

"What about now?"

"How soon are we going to be there?"

"Aren't we there yet?"
