Flux Wave
- Posted on June 28th, 2002 - 19:38 by Faustus

All administrators have been instructed to reset the ships / storage of any players found using a faction specific device not belonging to their faction. This includes the Flux Wave (UGTO), Pulse Shield (ICC), Pulse Beam(ICC), and Flux Beam(UGTO).

All players are instructed to sell those devices at the nearest star port.

Version 1.473 Release
- Posted on June 28th, 2002 - 10:28 by Faustus

We anticpate version 1.473 will be released later today, June 28th, 2002. See the Development Log for full details on what has been changed.

- The imbalance created by the use of technology between the factions has hit a critical point. This has required the implementation of new code which restricts the use of certain devices to one faction only. The cloaking and auto repair devices remain K'Luth technology only. The ICC retain shields, pulse shield, and pulse beam as devices they can only use. The flux beam and flux wave can now only be used by the UGTO.

- Clients who exit the game without taking their ship back to the home gate are now left in-game for 60 seconds. If their ship is destroyed, then those points are counted against the player. This was done to prevent players from logging out right before they are destroyed.

- Several fixes have been implemented to fix lag in the Metaverse.

The metaverse will NOT be reset after this release. Ships with flux waves already equipped will not be removed except by natural selection.

Austin, Texas, June 18th, 2002. Palestar Inc has announced that the release of DarkSpace version 1.472 will occur on Wednesday, June 19th, 2002. Several new fixes and features have been included in this release, for full details of what has been added check the development log at www.darkspace.net. The key features and fixes include…

- The much anticipated Mission System adds random and scripted missions into the game. These missions provide additional means for players to advance in rank and earn credits within the game.

- A storage system has been implemented which allows players to store up to 50 items and 6 different ships for use in the MetaVerse.

- Players in the MetaVerse now spawn at the closest system with a direct line of control from their home system. This will allow players in the MetaVerse to quickly rejoin the battle.

- The new Moderator Orb gives moderators a indestructible ship from which they can moderate the game and add additional items and monsters into the game.

This release will require a full reset of the MetaVerse. All players should be online to recapture their territory after the release occurs.

Note: Few scripted missions currently exist at the time of this release, however we anticipate the number of scripted missions to increase rapidly after this release.
