Clan Forums...
- Posted on Oct 08 2001, 10:07:46 by Faustus
Due to the total number of clans, and the additional work in creating any new clan specific forums on our website we are going to start requiring that a clan have a minimum of 20 active players for it to receive a forum on the DarkSpace website. Active players, are those who are actually playing DS, and have gained a minimum of 40 points of prestige.

Planet Capture Exploit....
- Posted on Oct 08 2001, 09:08:47 by Faustus
We're addressing the planet capture exploit in code today by adding a time delay before prestige is given for capturing a planet. Afterwards, all players will have their 'Planets Captured' reset to zero. Points are no longer given for capturing neutral planets.


Additionally, we are fixing how points are given for planet captures, so units from more than one player are distributed equally.
Metaverse Test
- Posted on Oct 07 2001, 10:57:53 by sunshine
I'm sure some of you read the previous news entry about the planned MetaVerse Test.



We started to organize this event early morning, but there was not enough time to solve all problems.
So we decided to move this test to next weekend. We still need some stabile servers (best T3 and T1 lines) so we get no problems with lag.



If you are able to offer a server check this Thread, and take part in the organisation.


Moderators Amok...
- Posted on Oct 05 2001, 17:37:49 by Faustus
I would highly suggest all moderator read the moderator rules carefully, or run the risk of no longer being a moderator. We've had problems with players being kicked or banned for something very minor or just being new to this game. Players should only be 'banned' for major infractions such as Racism, Piracy, Pornography, or after being kicked and continuing to cause problems. Players should be 'kicked' for use of profanity, harassment, and using exploits or bugs within DarkSpace.


Any player who is banned or kicked for questionable reasons can contact sunshine@palestar.com or rlyle@palestar.com. All moderators will be expected to support and explain why they banned another player if a complaint is made against them.
Jumpgate Safe Zone...
- Posted on Oct 04 2001, 14:20:08 by Faustus
A 500gu area around all home jump gates is now treated as a safe zone, so do not fire on enemy ships within this distance to their jump gate. If you do so, all damage will be counted as friendly fire and reduce your prestige. This has been implemented in response to problems with players attacking new ships as they enter the game.


Note: The safe zone does NOT apply to jumpgates which link one star system to another in the metaverse.
Community Manager...
- Posted on Oct 03 2001, 16:29:34 by Faustus
Christian 'sunshine' Weyand has become the new DarkSpace community manager. Everyone congratulate him on his new position and wish him the best of luck, as he is now in charge of all DarkSpace moderators. You can contact him at sunshine@palestar.com.
Prestige Reset
- Posted on Oct 02 2001, 18:58:25 by Faustus
We are resetting ALL players to zero prestige. Everyone has been given 50,000 points of bonus prestige until the reset at 11:00AM CST, tomorrow, 10/03/2001.


Please keep in mind this is a BETA.

Metaverse systems...
- Posted on Sep 27 2001, 14:42:50 by Faustus
All systems are now active in the Metaverse. Note, you can only enter with a new ship from Sol, Sirus, or Epsilon Eri.


We would like to run a test with all systems, if you would like to join in this test do the following:



1. Enabled the Linked checkbox and set your linkID to 'barney', do not hit the encode button.

2. Pick a system that isn't already up and running, and configure your server to run on that system.

3. Name your server 'MV1: ' + name of your system. (i.e. for the Sol system, it should be 'MV1: Sol'

4. Set your maximum clients to 64.

5. Enable Ladder.

6. Disable Clan and Balanced.
