The Patches >> OVERVIEW IN FIRST POST <<
Moderators: Moleman, Kwijibo, Luna, Major
You weren't around for the nukes patch eh?
Well, basically, this is it:
-Nukes are now heavily influenced by your ship's momentum
-Nukes will not change targets to whatever is closest to them. When they're launched they lock onto the nearest target and fly after it. As a consequence, dropping a flak will no longer guarantee safety from a nuke. However, if something is directly in their way, the nuke will hit that thing and explode (thus, if the nuke is right behind you following you straight, you can deploy a laser and it will hit the laser still).

-Links in galaxy map notes fixed. I haven't seen any other map notes glitches recently either.
-Mailbox composed messages stay if window is closed, and also if message is sent. However if message is sent AND window is closed, and text is gone. If the message is sent, edited and then closed, the text remains but To and Subject lines are cleared. Go figure.

If anyone's ready to climb out of the pit which was once the great game of starport, I have an air rescue basket, a wench and 3 miles of kevlar rope... In the meantime I'm only here tonight because I heard about the old forum URL being hijacked by a porn site and some of the old links in my comic relief page sending people to less than favorable sites.. My apologies, however you never know who will use your old domain name when you finish with it.. I was thinking of purchasing the old Teletubbies domain and hosting a chubby girl porn site with all the models wearing those antenna head thingies... lol just kidding. but you never know what someone might do with old web pages.
There was also a patch that introduced a fix for the "force trade", when sending tokens or credits to one person, if another uninvolved 3rd party traded you at the same time, it sometimes went to the. Now I get a "person is busying trading with someone else" message.
A sorely needed patch, thanks guys. Lets just get the game back up!

That was when i started. I remember one particular colony in Beta Horologii that had a weps factory and no defenses. It was great fun with wars and elaborate defense techniques .. but someone with money found it :'(Drifter101 wrote:

hmm I think I preferred the older nuke and torp sounds, the other changes are fairly nice though.Zavrith wrote:358: new sounds (which are pretty cool imo)

Volcs needed increased harvesting rate of anaerobes because they're the ones that's been hit the hardest.Turkey wrote:Patch 360:
