Version 1.3 Update...
- Posted on February 15th, 2002 - 16:18 by Faustus

We have put up another major update to version 1.3, which fixes many problems.

- Clients can now have an option to reconnect when disconnected from a game server.

- The K'Luth Cloaking now works differently to better balance combat between the K'Luth and other factions.

- Fighters have been optimized and the AI has been completely rewritten. The fighters now use much less CPU and cause virtually no in-game lag. Fighters have also been reconfigured to carry cannons instead of missiles.

- Cannons now fire multiple shots per use, making them a highly effective weapon at medium to long range.

- Armor strength has been increased by x1.5. Shield strength has been increase by x2

- The damage mangement system has been reworked to better handle the distribution of damage information to the clients. This was a major source of lag caused in major battles, which should mean a decrease in lag for everyone.
