    are you sure shields have been buffed? I just checked my frigate and i saw absolute no change in capacity or recharge after downloading the update. and i was literally working on it a few minutes before you released this

    thrust is much better. THANKS. i got double the output on my frigate now!

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the chat box now only shows one previous message, on a populated server that's quite an issue. F1 however shows everything as it should. Just a little tedious.

    It's been confirmed by four others that I chat with on mumble.

    Can confirm

    Messages sent from the server no longer show as red anymore, and the message that pops up doesn't seem to expire.

    Oh sorry. I had to redo some of the dialog gui modules. I'll fix it asap

    As for shield buff, I'm unsure if this was maybe overlapping with my notes from the previous release, sorry. The thrust has definitely buffed though.


    Edit: uploading hotfix now. No server update needed for this one. Scrolling the chat backlog in general should now also me a lot smoother now.

    Since the change to liner dampening will not affect already existing servers could you tell us what the new default value is?

    Edit: Never mind moved the config file and let the game recreate it. For anyone else interested the relevant lines are.

    PHYSICS_LINEAR_DAMPING = 0.05 //how much object slow down naturally (must be between 0 and 1): 0 is no slowdown
    PHYSICS_ROTATIONAL_DAMPING = 0.05 //how much object slow down naturally (must be between 0 and 1): 0 is no slowdown

    Voldrath 0.05 is the default and should probably take care of most max speed problems. If it doesn't, you can set it even lower

    There's also a weird bug where the right third or so of the text in a logbook window gets cut off...

    I seem to be completely incapable of copy and pasting anything after I updated the server (and client) to the latest version (20140702_112628).

    Nothing appears in the server log and the client gives the red error box:
    Code:
    ERROR
    Type not allowed here
    Grey Hull(5)
    (Note that I have plenty of Grey Hull in my inventory)

    Is this a bug in this release or did I manage to configure the server wrongly somehow?

    There are still a few bugs for the text display. I'll fix those in the coming days.
    Also a fix for the copy&paste is on the way. Sorry for this fractured update. I was hurrying to get the update out so the rollback bug is finally fixed, as that really frustrated players.

    At least for the hotfixes, no server updates are needed so far.

    Good work Schema! I have'nt played the game since late feb. The game is awesome though. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to see a fully functional AI crew and a fully functional AI aliens on planets. I really hope you have plans on getting that done sometime this year. I love the new planet designs too. You should put a different or slightly different bioms on certain sides. That way it gives the planet a uniqueness from eachother(grassy forest planet would have for example, a dessert on one side or snowy mountains...etc). This game is miles ahead of mincraft. I can say for certain that you are a good programmer and you deserve every penny of my money. I will certainly buy more than one copy. you are amazing!

    I am not sure if wasting time with a mail system at this time is a good idea

    IMO, the Mail system should require interacting with a block... It would just bee cool to have something to do in your ship interior, say, in a ready room or a console on a station.

    Schema. In the future could you make it so that if you have selected another ship and open up messages you would be able to send a message to the selected player? As a way of hailing them. I can see this used a ton in RP servers.
