Yeah... You were giving me bad memories :P

Heh, not quite.

3.3.1 is mainly bug fixes for 3.3.0 and should be available tonight.

3.3.1 or 2.3.1, ctishman? :P
Sep 02, 2003 ctishman link
Plans for 3.3.1 as I understand them:

1) Current sector layout will be scrapped in favor of a temporary 3 sector layout. There will be one for deathmatch, one for team-based combat, and one for a "keep-away"-style CTF variant. These will be connected by a single core sector, into which players will spawn.

2) A round timer will be implemented, resetting the play arena and scores every ten minutes, to allow for a more action-oriented gameplay dynamic.

3) Current ships and nations will be temporarily be replaced by a single ship with three model variations, one for each color.

4) Fully nine tenths of accounts will be purged, resulting in a smaller but more dedicated community environment.

I prefer the new sector 7. I think instead we should petition to make sector 13 like sector 7 used to be.

Man, I miss the old sector 7 so much. The newer background for it is so... ugly. It doesn't represent what 7 is at all. Perhaps if the planet was dark blue and you could see lightening shooting around the rings every now and then, also make the star smaller. I remember when 7 used to be nice and dark and the green stuff glowed, but now it's all crapped out by that big orange ring down there. Ug... I think it's about time we made a petition to make sector 7 dark and big, like the way it used to be.

How about Sour Warheads? Make those 1c, too!
Sep 02, 2003 roguelazer link
Can you make warheads 1c?
Sep 02, 2003 a1k0n link
Yes, the incorrect price quote of 1c per warhead in the stations is fixed. It was sending the quantity-per-item field rather than the actual price. Whoops.

The News page has yet to show that 3.3.0 was released. I didn't log on for nearly 24 hours because I didn't realize that the update was out. And maybe in the next week, when you guys get some time, you can update the In Progress page to reflect what 3.3.1 will look like. :-D

And is there going to be a timetable out soon of what you expect to implement? Or at least a chronological order?

Will it fix the ammo price bug?
Sep 02, 2003 ctishman link
Yes, but you have to press the buy button 50 times. They're taking away the quantity field.
Sep 02, 2003 SirCamps link
Isn't that the exact opposite of what they're trying to do?
Sep 02, 2003 Pyro link
They're taking away the quantity field??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Sep 02, 2003 incarnate link
No, we're not taking away the quantity field ;). Just bugfixes. I'll make the newspost tonight for 3.3.0/3.3.1.

I liked 2.x.x, it was fun, except everyone but me was in heavies... Here's my idea, current balance system with the 2.x.x gameplay, what do you think? WHO WANTS SECTOR 7 BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS!? I KNOW I DO!!! *ahem* I'm ok... really I am.

I loved the mediums.... I could carry homers yet still boost quickly. My favorite medium was the Centuar, with the atlas in a close second (it's single-line ion was fun).
