Version 1.3 Released
- Posted on Jan 14 2002, 17:35:25 by Faustus
Austin, TX, January 14th, 2002. Palestar Inc has released version 1.3 of DarkSpace which adds many new features to their massively multiplayer online game DarkSpace.



-TRADING has now be enabled in the DarkSpace universe. Players can now buy goods from the new star port structures available in-game, as well trade with other players in-game.

-Planets have a more complex ECONOMY, populations requires food, budgets need to be maintained, and production of different goods can be controlled by players from within the game.

-The new STAR PORT structure, which can be built on planets provides an place for players to buy and sell their goods to the planets in-game. Opening up the possibility to make a nifty profit by carring goods from one planet to another where demand is high.

-Players can now BOARD enemy ships with infantry units which can wreak havoc with internal ship systems or even capture the ship.

-The K'Luth have a new DREADNAUGHT class ship, the Ganglia class dreadnaught acts as a command ship for the K'Luth fleet.



SPECIAL NOTES:

All ships systems are priced at 0 credits until 1.4 coming next week, we feel more balancing needs to be done before we allow players to buy and sell ship systems for profit.
