Station Layout Changes
- Posted on January 3rd, 2009 - 15:00 by Mr Black
Due to some necessary changes to Station layouts, players will want to remove any existing Stations from their garages, and re-spawn new ones, otherwise you will be missing some gadgets.



ICC Stations have gained one extra Auxiliary shield facing per arc.



UGTO and K'Luth Stations have each gained extra Core Weapons, Beams or Missiles, as befits their particular role.
DarkSpace Version 1.507 Released
- Posted on January 2nd, 2009 - 13:59 by Mr Black, The Irresponsible Cynic
Hard at work, we have released yet another update for DarkSpace.



The changelog is as follows:



- Changed server shutdown to make sure final prestige & rank are persisted to the database.

- Added more redundancy and logging to player storage system.

- Changed UDP receive thread to high priority to prevent the loss of UDP packets under high CPU load.

- Enhancements are awarded directly to the players rather than dropped into space. Each player that causes a significant amount of recent damage to a destroyed ship gets a chance to receive the enhancement.

- Collision optimizations.

- Added new "Procyon" cluster for the MI threat.

- Added Supply Frigates to each human faction so midshipmen have some diversity in what they can do.

- Various balance tweaks.



Enjoy.



- The Development Team.
Server Full/Invalid server version...
- Posted on January 1st, 2009 - 14:12 by Mr Black, The Irresponsible Cynic
If you are having trouble connecting to, or playing in the Sagittarius server, you are welcome to help the new players learn in Newbie, or attempting to invade or defend one of the Home clusters. You never know what may happen if another faction manages to capture an enemy home-system.

Version 1.5 is Alive!
- Posted on October 2nd, 2008 - 22:29 by Mersenne Twister
There are those who say this day would never come. What are they to say now? - Prophet of Truth



After a very, very, very long 3 years of sporadic development, 1.500 has finally been released.



Current users will need to update, to the new GCQL2 Lobby, and then update/install DarkSpace from the Launch tab. Players with beta installed can copy their Data folder from /.Cache/DarkSpaceBeta to /.Cache/DarkSpace , which will reduce the patch size considerably.



For new users and everyone else, a full installer for 1.500 is available on the Downloads page, or by clicking here directly. Other mirrors should be available in the next few days.



A lengthy list of changes can be found in the Development Log, and the 1.500 Manual revision will commence in the next few days.



Player that get an "Unable to initialize display" error, please go to the Launch tab, run Darkspace (Setup) and verify that the display mode setting is correct for your system. Ideally it should be set at your desktop resolution or Windowed. Changing resolution setting is often enough to clear the error.



Enjoy.
