OK, people have been asking for a return of the weekly updates, so I will be less lazy and do it. =)
New universe seems to be going pretty well. I increased the size by 50% which is huge, but added a new tag to globally reduce the number of roaming AI's as a percentage in an effort to keep CPU and save files down. I also made it so you can now build in DF10, although you can not own there, and also you can not protect anywhere in W0. This should give a gigantic increase in the amount of real estate for people to build on. I'm hoping that the recent limitation on userbases per account will somewhat limit building and that we don't still end up with every single galaxy being built in, as that might take up too much CPU and memory. To also help with cpu, memory, and reducing in lag, I am currently working on adding new "no-save" tags to most spawned AI's which will keep them from being saved. This should provide a huge savings at not much cost. Also I noticed that spawned asteroids are being saved which there seems like there's no reason for. In a couple days I will add in the code to switch over to the new AT skill now that everyone has had their chance to build and can work on getting new AT. _________________ For support, please create a support ticket here and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Wonderful, about time:P
On a sidenote: will slave tweak be brought in line with the new AT? Or at least fixed in some way? _________________ Julian wrote: In ss we fill breast implants with sand because we are to cheap to purchase silicone. Battlecruiser23 wrote: I have reasons for why I do things. |

Slave tweak Doesn't give 2% per lvl, like it should (from what I hear), and possibly gives even less then 1%, basically its a waste of SP, ask anyone who has trained it. Slave masters are nerfed as it is. Once the new AT hits we are gonna be nerfed more then ever compared to other classes. In most cases slaves account for 2/3s of the total firepower, even with the nerfed ST and what not. So once this hits its gonna really suck
I have invested In my slaves and my Pax enough to for "ubang kewl gear" DS and yet all that cred got me a fraction of the firepower. Fair? _________________ Julian wrote: In ss we fill breast implants with sand because we are to cheap to purchase silicone. Battlecruiser23 wrote: I have reasons for why I do things. |

also, the bug with the slave firing rate? did you fix that? and i hope you haven't forgotten ST while you've been doing AT... that would suck. other than that, I love everything!

ST sounds fine to me... I use 60% to compute stats and I end up with the expected capacity and shield (what I think is bugged is the rof mod on slaves). The problem with ST is that it is maxed at 60%, contrary to new AT... This will end up in slave masters getting less benefits than other classes when new AT kicks in. |

Nice idea on making the uni 50% bigger, but now that adds on a lot of extra travel time. Maby extend warp4 to DF 140? Just to save the zerkers prom time or w/e fuel they use. The way it is now, the warp4 gates i have found havent even taken me out of warp1. If oyu could fiz this, i would appreciate it greatly.

What Slicer said, we've been saying this forever. Making it so termites dont spawn in W3 should help atleast a little.
I also agree about expanding W4, there are very few juxta warps and the uni is very large. |

Slave tweak gives 60%.
I can look at termites. Micron is Atlum's thing. I hear it's almost done. _________________ For support, please create a support ticket here and I will get back to you as soon as possible. About Star Sonata. |

Is it gonna be beefed to like 3% per lvl with the new AT or not? _________________ Julian wrote: In ss we fill breast implants with sand because we are to cheap to purchase silicone.
