Metaverse Reset...
- Posted on July 6th, 2002 - 13:21 by Faustus
The Metaverse state will be reset Sunday, July 7th at 12:00 CST. This will not affect your ships or storage, just the planets and star systems will be reset. The faction which controls the most star systems before the reset will be declared the offical winners.

Version 1.474
- Posted on July 5th, 2002 - 09:03 by Faustus
We anticpate version 1.474 will be released on monday at the latest, if possible it will be released later today or over the weekend.



This version fixes some serious syncronization/lag issues caused by a flaw in the client and server code. Everyone should keep in mind that there will always be some lag and jumping in game, after all we have no control over the routers between you and our servers. This version also fixes the K'Luth interdictor problem by changing the cloaking device slot type to SPECIAL.



Hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July....
Lag...
- Posted on June 29th, 2002 - 08:49 by Faustus
We are aware of the issue with lag and are working to address the issue ASAP with a new patch no later than Monday. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that you will be patient until the lag can be fixed with a patch.



Rest assured we try our hardest to avoid issues such as this through beta testing. However, it is not always possible to identify these problems until they appear in the real world.



NOTE: new code is being tested in beta to address the lag issues. Please help test the beta code by running setup, turning on "Beta Mode" and joining the "palestar.com - beta" server.
Flux Wave
- Posted on June 28th, 2002 - 19:38 by Faustus
All administrators have been instructed to reset the ships / storage of any players found using a faction specific device not belonging to their faction. This includes the Flux Wave (UGTO), Pulse Shield (ICC), Pulse Beam(ICC), and Flux Beam(UGTO).



All players are instructed to sell those devices at the nearest star port.
Version 1.473 Release
- Posted on June 28th, 2002 - 10:28 by Faustus
We anticpate version 1.473 will be released later today, June 28th, 2002. See the Development Log for full details on what has been changed.



- The imbalance created by the use of technology between the factions has hit a critical point. This has required the implementation of new code which restricts the use of certain devices to one faction only. The cloaking and auto repair devices remain K'Luth technology only. The ICC retain shields, pulse shield, and pulse beam as devices they can only use. The flux beam and flux wave can now only be used by the UGTO.


- Clients who exit the game without taking their ship back to the home gate are now left in-game for 60 seconds. If their ship is destroyed, then those points are counted against the player. This was done to prevent players from logging out right before they are destroyed.

- Several fixes have been implemented to fix lag in the Metaverse.



The metaverse will NOT be reset after this release. Ships with flux waves already equipped will not be removed except by natural selection.

Version 1.472 Release...
- Posted on June 18th, 2002 - 13:26 by Faustus
Austin, Texas, June 18th, 2002. Palestar Inc has announced that the release of DarkSpace version 1.472 will occur on Wednesday, June 19th, 2002. Several new fixes and features have been included in this release, for full details of what has been added check the development log at www.darkspace.net. The key features and fixes include…



- The much anticipated Mission System adds random and scripted missions into the game. These missions provide additional means for players to advance in rank and earn credits within the game.

- A storage system has been implemented which allows players to store up to 50 items and 6 different ships for use in the MetaVerse.

- Players in the MetaVerse now spawn at the closest system with a direct line of control from their home system. This will allow players in the MetaVerse to quickly rejoin the battle.

- The new Moderator Orb gives moderators a indestructible ship from which they can moderate the game and add additional items and monsters into the game.



This release will require a full reset of the MetaVerse. All players should be online to recapture their territory after the release occurs.



Note: Few scripted missions currently exist at the time of this release, however we anticipate the number of scripted missions to increase rapidly after this release.
