**News Flash - Jan. 13th, 2014

[Calbiri]

Im sorry this wasnt clear, and I will clarify the news post. I was simply restating what schema had told me. This \"hotfix\" does need to be applied to servers AND clients.

A simple message to me would have been far more productive than this thread of messages which i failed to notice (my fault for not checking, but I\'ve been busy.)

And just because I dislike arguing over the meaning of a word,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotfix

Arguement settled, wikipedia wins.

In the Dev patch, you may obtain the helmet using the following command.

/give_metaitem YOURNAMEHERE helmet

Seeing as this fixes a really annoying bug in the game, and I see no reason no to, please push this out to the launcher, not everyone feels confident enough to update manually

 

[Pirate_Ray]

just shut up.

 

[therimmer96]

I am posting the thoughts of me and gravy, 2 of the big server owners. We are constantly fed up with having to fix the errors caused by the bug this update fixes.I see no reason for it not to be in the launcher, therefore I am requesting it.

 

[therimmer96]

Also, can this string of argument be deleted, it it cluttering the comments right at the top

A thought sorta relevent to the above post....why not put a larger box AROUND the entire ship you\'re looking at instead of giving us a crosshair directly on our core? Makes it WAY to easy to kill ships if you know where the core is.

Wow this hasn\'t been fixed yet?



The AI Accuracy option in the config file hasn\'t worked since it was first introduced into the game.



Please fix this, I came back after months of inactivity to see if this had been fixed yet, because I simply find the gameplay too dull with my ship\'s turrets and the AI being core drills.



Please fix this guys.

 

[Pirate_Ray]

hmmm that would work for smaller ships, but the big ships, nope the box would get to big...



instead give any ship a box like the current one, but at its box dimensions center this way the core could be anywhere, but youd still have just a small indicator.

Something else i thought of is improving ai blocks so you can launch repair drones making repair frigates more viable. And also prehaps a way to order them to follow you allowing for smaller factions to be capable of attacking larger factions head on or just to have a party of ai ships following you for defence.

 

[Dart980]

I\'m sure I\'m not the first player who says this... but more AI modes would be great. For example: Repair ships, escort ships, mining ships...

I have a demand. When you make the new weapons system we should make it so we can put multiple computer systems on 1 hot key. I am worried about this making shotgun arrays a bit OP. But it impairs creativity too much that we have to checkerboard weapons.

 

[Calbiri]

I do enjoy hearing demands, it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

 

[zkullz]

I WANT AN UPDATE!!!!!

 

[elicitend]

but seriously? have we resorted to acting like children?

 

[Koloss_Meshuggah]

I want my lag fixes! RIGHT NOW! RIGHT NOW! RIGHT NOW! **throws self on floor**

 

[aceface]

you guys do know that in the upcoming update the crosshair of enemy ships will be distorted further away from the core the further you are from it

 

[flpsantoss]

So Calbiri, tell me something new, even if its like more bug hunt was made today

 

[aceface]

Schema please add some sort of missile sound, sounds make a good game memorable, when you hear that sound you think of all the fun you had then. One sound could be the launch sound like swoosh, and then on impact kaboom

 

[Calbiri]

:D yep, i have no idea! There were 2 new dev patches today... but schema was to busy to even mention what was in them (plus i was asleep when he linked them to me.)

Most likely, since nothing was mentioned, you can assume they are most likely just bug fixes.

I hope to make another news announcement in a day or two (since i still don\'t have anything really worth announcing at the moment.)
