@Airwolf - MiRVing does not make you a strong player - it actually weakens players, and lures them into a false sense of security, ie - being good at what they do, and that they're amazingly good at it.
When 1.484 comes, those who used bombing for an easy revenue of prestige will be surprised at the difficulty, and the worst thing is, if you find ways to make it easier and do one-run-bombing-spree's, we will just change code to make it impossible again.
You see, those who spend all their time bombing, are going to be very, very, very poor at the game when it comes back down to what it should be - combat. They won't know how to fly properly, they won't know how to manage their energy, and they won't know how to fly against other combat pilots (skilled ones).
Everyone who has been taking the short and easy route will be slapped in the face hard in 1.484, think of that as their "just desert".

All is true of what Jack has said. It's just a matter of seeing 484 released. It sucks but I beginning to beleive that it wont be relased any time in the near future. We have been given dates of when its estimated to be done for over a year now. You never really understand the whole 2 weeks joke until you sit back and think about it.
Anyways I will continue to play and pay. I still love teh game and their are a lot of great players still here. I appreciate what the staff has done so far and am looking forward to the new patch when it becomes available for release. Whenever that might be.
Again for all you who keep saying all you need is your safe zone planets , then i see this safe zone doing just as much harm as good. We can't camp by your safe zone and if you refuse to recap and try to hold territory then you are giving up a majority of the game.

Well I agree that mirving has deterred many good players from playing ds. I mean whats the point when all your doing is just trying to protect massive systems, where each system like goes poof every hour. You cant really get any planets up because most mirvers dont even bother rebuilding their planets. So your left with the good few who build planets while 10s of people go nuking every hour. This quicky gets anoying when the planet you just spent half an hour on goes poof in a second dont you think  .
So the best bet is to just wait this thing out. Let the mirvers go nuke empty planets. Hopefully eventually over time they will learn that mirving isnt such a good thing after all.
And lets wait for 1.484 in two weeks™

Once Faustus has fixed the resourcer, me and Drafell can hammer out a lot of content. Faustus and Tael have a much deeper knowledge of C++ and the DarkSpace engine/content than me and Drafell do put together most probably, but me and Drafell are DarkSpace veterans that have played this game through many versions and know what works, and what doesn't, so this mixture can only do good.

@Jack, you both have stronger ties to UGTO. =P Just dont make it to where the UGTO are the Nazi's in WWII, riding in tanks, and the rest are the Polish.. On horses.
Other then that, Mirving everything is for cool kids who cant get laid.
Didnt I tell you they'd still complain, Shig?
