Manies and gentlegirls, it's that time again!
If you could all spare as much time as possible getting into beta and testing the various new changes and giving feedback, we'd be mightly grateful!
Off-topic and non-constructive replies will be deleted, with repeat offenders earning themselves a forum ban. We want this to be as good as it can be, with the content in there and being changed.
Current known issues:

not sure where to post this in beta disscusion. ship used: ugto bd. test: power consumpsion. moving 0 speed i could alpha as long as i wanted to. traeveling at 8 speed i could alpha continuosly in battle with out any concern of power loss, never running out of power.
not sure if it has been changed any in beta since i dont play ugto.
icc is pretty much like ugto on power usage going to test kluth next
kluth stills gulps energy. lol . not sure if any of this was changed so this post could be a non issue. sorry if it is and you can remove it if need be.

I found that ECCM -> ECM or ECM -> ECCM was only changeable if you go to Longwave variants first.

K'luth
the follow command feels upgraded with more intelligence, i tried to crash a talon scout into the sun ( van Maanen) by pressing "f" on a manual point behind the sun, but the scout kept turning slighty next to the sun, short jump, then plot the big route safely. good job! I wonder if same could be done for the orbit command....
i can confirm dictors dont work, i didnt even get the red text with "jumpdrive disabled". in a cluster of dictors. They did show the field in f2 window.
when trying to make ai crash into planet (hehe), i notcied a new problem: The ai tranny suddenly got repaired real fast, OOC ring went active. i think that is strange since i was shooting and hitting that ship, but also because the ai tranny was shooting and hitting me back. How can a ship be out of combat when it hits and gets hit...? also i noticed an ai lose its ooc ring when i crawled near it cloaked. the ooc ring came back after i went out of 150 gu range of the ai 5 sec later. i never uncloaked....
When comparing ahr of small ships and bigger ships, seems ahr rate has been adapted to ship size. AHR repairs a destroyer back to 100% same speed as it reps a dreadnought.
the OOC ring is pretty hard to see on ships because its just one thin line. if the ooc ring could be composed of 2 white lines it should be easier to see without zooming in so far on myself. seeing the ring on enemy ships is even harder, especially small ships because the red diamond gets in the way
cloaking feels fine, it does force a short jump instead of cloaking at 0 energy on big ships that alpha when they only got 10 energy left...havent been able to test cloak with loads of sensor plat bases around
ICC testing
OOC: skirmish shields are twice as fast in recharge time then actives, actives are 4% faster in recharge then reactives (from 0-100 actives at 100 where reactives at 96).
END of testing

Projectiles no longer have trails (good thing) and are impossible to see unless you're almost fully zoomed in (bad thing).
AI seem to be able to activate OOC mode at will, I've had several AI start repairing at a ridiculous rate while I'm shooting them.
AI dodge fire from their target just fine but if anyone else is shooting at them they seem totally oblivious.

UGTO Battle dread partical cannons use almost no noticable energy also the QST also use little energy only apon firing them but that power will recharge fast the only real power consumer on the battle dread is it's beams so yes it can almost continue fire. Im currently using and un EHN BD atm and yes the only thing draining my power is its beams but other then that power consuption is almost non. But im not complaining

Swapping to ECCM or ECM switches the types, so to swap to Longave ECCM, you need to swap to ECCM first. I'll look at changing this though.
The modules themselves have been fixes though, so you can swap to them now.
For those interested, the OOC bug has been fixed and has been pushed to beta. ECM/ECCM upgrade paths will be updated in the next update.

UGTO battle dreads use about 0 power when they fire, even at speed.

I had a go at Beta abt 6 hrs back.
Everything seems ok.
I managed to make an AI collide into a planet because I ordered it to defend me as I entered a cluster. Guess they're still a bit daft in some ways.
The dico is still bugged right? AI ships were still able to jump in a dico field. I attacked one while he was around my planet and he made a jump out.

- Can't set barrack to train normal inf or heavy inf.
- Thin white ring is really hard to see. Sometimes I believe I see the white ring but I can't log into SY.
- Luth signature changes frequently while cloaking with ECM on.
- Structures doesn't pause even when the technology falls below their requirement.
- While being built, platform receives resource but doesn't add it to its own resource when complete.
- I bombed a planet with SY without capturing & deactivating any structures. 6 hours later I came back, that planet hasn't fully recover.
- Hive requires 101 technology.
- AI often jumps into planet in emergency case.

Will look into making this better somehow. We did have a timer in the top right, but Faustus removed it because it looked tacky. If anyone has a suggestion...

Intended - check the dev log for more details.

Bug due to the above change.

Fixed!
The others are most likely caused by latency issues with beta being on a much, much slower server than release.

put a glowing light where the combat timer once was. make it glow green when out of combat, and red (man your battlestations) when in combat.
