19:35:55 [Admin]Faustus: "I'm alive... sorry"
19:36:06 [Admin]Faustus: "was working on code..."
19:36:18 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: "Yes after Release a mass advertiseing plan will be set in motion"
19:43:06 [PB]Beast{C?}: "sure you was i bet you was eating twinkies"
19:36:35 [Admin]Faustus: "anyway, welcome everyone to the first public dev chat in a while... hopefully, a more regular thing now.."
19:37:10 [Admin]Faustus: "for those of you who are new... please do not whisper questions to me directly... send your questions to a mod or admin... and we'll answer them one at a time.."
19:55:30 [Dev]Gideon: "For those of you new to this, these are Q and A meetings between the staff, mostly Faustus, and you."
19:37:26 [Admin]Faustus: "just so it all stays somewhat organized.."
19:37:48 [Admin]Faustus: "anyway... I already know what everyone's first question is, when is 1.481 coming out.. "
19:56:12 [Dev]Gideon: "Pre-emptive strike!"
19:38:54 [Admin]Faustus: "best case guess.... is we should have everything into testing within the next 2 weeks, thats going into that version... provided everything goes smoothly, I would expect a version release after 1 week of testing... "
19:39:32 [Admin]Faustus: "so the answer is 3 weeks away is a pretty good guess... and somewhat conservitive as well."
19:39:38 [Admin]Faustus: "exuse my spelling "
19:39:47 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: " [-[A]-]hlavac whispered "Alright, when do we see the new fighters interface on beta?""
19:41:01 [Admin]Faustus: "fighter changes and platform changes MAY get pushed onto 1.482... simply, because we MUST update the navigation interface and add a trade route interface to support the new server backend... those things are a requirement to get done."
19:41:08 [Admin]Patrowsky: "* [PB]Condor whispered "when will the ds game be sold in the u.k""

19:41:45 [Admin]Faustus: "navigation interface must get updated, because clients now have every planet/star/ship in the entire universe in the nav screen.. we have to update it so that it doesn't bog down when rendering.."
19:42:20 [Admin]Faustus: "@var... yes, new MV will have new star systems as well... currently, we haven't added them to beta because of our limited hardware... "
19:42:39 [Admin]Faustus: "I actually, had to pull some machines not being used in release over to the beta side to test the new server backend.."
19:43:38 [Admin]Faustus: "@pengun.... yes, I do plan to add more controls for graphics settings.... keep in mind, some of the changes going into this version are going to make the game faster for sure... especially the limits we're putting on projectiles and such.."
19:44:15 [Admin]Faustus: "but some controls for detail levels will get added to my ToDO list.. "

19:45:45 [Admin]Faustus: "@Deathscythe ... most of it is only on my local machine, I'm pushing hard to get a beta update in later today... but due to the massive amount of new changes (i.e. unit stacking, unit orders, orbit changes, etc..) it may have to wait until mon.."
19:46:39 [Admin]Faustus: "@EvilFurrrBall .... yes, lots of new interface changes are in the pipe... first, the engineering screen is getting an overhaul, drag-drop reconfiguration of your ship, gadget displays, making the engineering interface actually useful... "

19:47:02 [Admin]Faustus: "nav screen is getting an overhaul... different modes, for trade routes, commanding ships, mission generation..."
19:47:42 [Admin]Faustus: "and lastly, the planets screen is going to become a govern screen... so lots more modes, and data to get displayed... making the game more strategic to play from that screen..."
19:48:00 [Admin]Faustus: "i.e. diplomacy mode, intelligence mode, etc.."
19:48:31 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: "[-[A]-]hlavac whispered "I noticed starports can serve as stargates, it was fun without the gates in beta MV, made it look much bigger - any chance it might stay like that?""

19:51:15 [Admin]Faustus: "@Penguin ... we are going to be adding "upgrade" levels for all ship systems... (just like in starcraft)... dreads, and higher up ships will come with some devices already upgraded to higher levels... such as shields/armor... making them better ships."
19:51:33 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: "[Evil]Deathscythe {C?} [NL] whispered "right now if a planet in mv is capped and the planet has fighter now the fighters keep atacking you even if the faction capped the planet is that also been fixed in the new version ?"""
19:51:50 [Admin]Faustus: "@Deathscythe ... that will be fixed.."
19:52:09 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: "[Storm]Bad_Dog whispered "any chance to be able to somwhat turn off the missiles and fighters?? like in very large battles the lag is sometimes unplayable...""
19:53:05 [Admin]Faustus: "@bad_dog... we are adding limits to bombs and fighters... basically, you won't be allowed to have in play more than the ammo ammount for the device... i.e. if you have a mirv launcher, you will be able to only have 5 mirvs in space at once... "

19:53:44 [Admin]Faustus: "this should bring down the lag caused by too many of these objects... plus keep in mind, gideon has updated the models for the fighters to use much fewer polygons.."
* [Dev]Gideon

19:55:11 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: "[PB]Varzadium whispered "How would you describe the help you got testing on the beta server? Would you say more testers are needed or did you get enough feedback from the numbers you have now?"""
19:55:50 [Admin]Faustus: "@varz.... I will need alot more testers once the next version of the beta code goes up... we need to really stress the UniverseServer/ZoneServer's to find any remaining crash bugs"
19:55:59 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: "[=SSC=]Mariano (Peace) whispered "will the key commands be fixed in the patch?""

19:57:32 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: "[DV]EvilFurrrBall whispered "when are the main graphics going to get some attention? all of the systems and missiles and stuff look like there all ICC tech"""
* [Dev]Gideon points Montey towards the dev log...
19:57:51 [Admin]TheBumble: "unfortunatly, i have to go now"
19:57:59 [Admin]Faustus: "@monty... yes, that is true... once a faction has a majority of troops on a planet, then it starts the 60 second countdown to cap the planet.. "
19:58:08 [Admin]TheBumble: "my family is calling me now"
19:58:19 [Admin]TheBumble: "i wish you all a nice meeting"
19:58:28 [Admin]Faustus: "keep in mind some other things.. we are adding drop pods now... meaning, infantry can be destroyed before reaching the surface... "
20:16:40 [Dev]Gideon: "Later, bumble!"
19:58:50 [Admin]Faustus: "by planet defenses... also, these pods will take damage so it may take more than one hit to destroy it... "
19:59:20 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: "[Evil]Stromberg Moon whispered "Any hints or preveiw ideas on new tech??"""
19:59:20 [Admin]Faustus: "these pods will also be used when trading goods with a starport, or anything else that requires the movement of some cargo from one place to another within a short range.."

20:00:47 [Admin]Faustus: "@stromberg... The wormhole device... basically, allows the ship that has it, to open a wormhole to another location (within a certain range like 1,000,000 gu)... any ship entering this wormhole (from either side) travels instantly to the other location... the wormhole stays open for 60 seconds, and takes 5 min to charge before it can be used again.."

20:01:49 [Admin]Faustus: "@kami... no, it won't ... because we're going to test it before releasing it.. ok "
20:01:59 [Admin]Faustus: "there are other factors in play too... "

20:03:25 [Admin]Faustus: "@monty.. yes, units stack now.. (any number).... so you can unload infantry onto a structure, or other enemy inf.."
20:03:41 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: "[-[A]-]hlavac whispered "There was a limit on number of friendly troops on planet, disbanding any over the limit, but no such limit on enemy troops; a bit unfair isnt it?""

20:04:37 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: "Gideon whispered "Will troop/cargo pods be used to take things UP from a planet, as well as send it DOWN?"

20:23:13 [Dev]Gideon: "Thanks. "
20:05:10 [Admin]Faustus: "in fact, I think a pod will leave from your ship, go down to the surface, then come back to your ship.."
20:05:26 [Admin]Faustus: "and now I've been thinking about a limit on pods ... "
20:05:42 [Admin]Faustus: "so if they all get destroyed, you must go get more... but thats for a later version.."
20:06:04 [Admin]Faustus: "something to think about anyway.. "

20:06:54 [Admin]TheEvilGriffin: " [¤SYN¤]air whispered "is there any chance to give stations better wepons ie instead of cl2k give then a wepon only they can use cl4k duble rang of cl2k and damage"""
