Router problems...
- Posted on May 6th, 2002 - 08:55 by Faustus
Due to conditions mostly beyond our control, there is a router problem for many players from Germany. We have informed Cogent of the problem and we hope it will be corrected later today. We apologize for those of you who are having connection problems, but please keep in mind Palestar doesn't own or control the entire internet.

Version 1.466 Release
- Posted on April 26th, 2002 - 09:24 by Faustus
We anticipate version 1.466 will be released on Monday, April 29th. This newest version contains several fixes, balance changes, and many new features...



- Grouping has been added, which allows players to form in-game groups which share all prestige and rank gains as a group. Players can form, leave, and join groups at their discretion using the in-game interface.

- The Metaverse has been expanded to 25 star systems, providing a more balanced universe for all players. The new metaverse expands the space between all home systems and provides new players with relativity safe areas to play.

- Key mapping has been added to the in-game options screen. You can now reconfigure the entire keyboard to your preference.

- Weapon damage has been rebalanced, adding a random variance to all weapon damage.

- Shields have been increased in strength to better balance the ICC against the other factions.

- Ship capture code has been disabled until we develop a solution that is non-exploitable.

- Jumpgate Safezones have been implemented for all faction entry points. No hostile action will be allowed within 1000gu of the jumpgate safezone.


Prestige Loss from ship stripping
- Posted on April 24th, 2002 - 15:26 by Faustus
Serveral players have complained about prestige loss, this is not due to a bug. It is caused by stripping parts at the jumpgate. Ship stripping is when you take a ship, remove some of the parts into space, then get another ship or die. The value of the parts removed is added to your "Resources Lost", which will negatively affect your prestige and rank.
DarkSpace Radio at TSN
- Posted on April 19th, 2002 - 09:08 by Faustus
Team Sportcast Network will be adding DarkSpace Radio to it's current lineup of shows broadcasted from their shoutcast servers. The first show, scheduled to air May 2nd, at 8:00PM CST will be hosted by our very own Torquemada and co-hosted by H@voc. The show will include music, technical help, tactics, and even in-game live coverage of clan battles. Additionally, the developers of DarkSpace will be on the show to answer questions and provide some insight into future development.



You must have WinAmp or another program that can receive shoutcast broadcasts.
