Vendetta 1.8.349

Sep 05, 2015 incarnate link
VO 1.8.349 includes:

- Trident capship-owners may now message basic commands to their ships ("/msg"), while they are un-docked. The "follow" command will cause the player's trident to follow them, as best it can, within the given sector. The capships will not yet follow across jumps or wormholes. The "park" command causes the given ship to park in its current location. An expanded command-set will be coming in a future release. Only the ship's owner may issue commands at this time.
- We've made several changes and updates to the Voice Chat system over the last few weeks, including some major fixes that may resolve the long-standing "channel-leaking" problem. We'd appreciate it if people on supporting platforms (Windows, Linux, and Android/ARM, but not Android/x86) could try using the voice chat system, and let us know how it's working. Please post any on-going problems on the Bugs forum. Thanks!
- We have mitigated and resolved a server-side issue that was causing brief moments of connection issues (~20 seconds) every night around 12:30 central time.

Follow and park have very limited use for cappies but the fact that you're releasing a command set that will allow us to remote operate capships in itself is phenomenal. I'm keen for when they can actually follow to your current location from wherever you park them.

This is a feature-set better released in stages, with testing in between. I pared to down to the minimum for tonight, and it was still several hours more testing and bug-fixing than expected. So, having more people playing with it is beneficial, before trying to do too much at once.

This is all kinds of useful, thanks Inc!

Did you guys have any luck with capships and group membership? Their radar sharing features still only work when a player is controlling it.

I am loving this so far. BBF#07 was a blast with the Dodger following me around as I tried in vain to defend it :)
