*** Vendetta 1.8.313
- Mine explosions no longer do double-damage to the person laying them.
- Weapon shot visual-effects are less likely to pass through objects.
- Re-arming free equipment during Deneb War military missions now includes text to say the purchases are free.
- Touch-screen HUD graphics slightly improved, to indicate the left input area is a region, as opposed to buttons.
- Initial single-player tutorial now uses the TPG Raptor instead of the EC-89.

Yay bugfixes.

Good update. I think it's a good idea to let new players fly the Raptor, to give them an idea of the better ships the will be available to them if they stick with the game.

Great news! Expecting further xmas presents in the future while we count 2014 :). Keep up the good work.

Good job! It's definately going to improve the first impression using the best looking ship in the game as an introduction.

This might seem silly, but what purpose does this serve?

You are now in *IDV Onanna.
Ship repaired for a total price of 0c.
(Free from National Military)


It was always pretty obvious that reloads and repairs are free. The only thing that isn't properly reported is the reimbursal for your ship's price when you die and re-buy. Now there's just more chat spam.

So, I had raised the issue to Ray about purchasing items while under the mission, and that we could probably do a simple message when someone buys something subsidized by the military. I didn't get a chance to test this in advance, I was juggling other things yesterday. I would guess that the way he implemented it was generic across all "purchases".
