After a sensational success to the launch of the reverse engineered server, Angus and I have decided it's time to take it as far as we can and launch the 2.0 client.

This boasts 1024 x 768 resolution. "WASD" keyboard movement. Single touch action keys (No more ctrl + #).  A more refined GUI.  Dynamic action bars. And most importantly, Client stability.  Hotkeys like Ctrl + R are now Shift + r.  Space bar will now scan a target directly in front of you, hit it again and you will target.  If that's too long for you, just hit Ctrl and it will target anything in front of you in one go.

As some of you will know.  We are still limited to what we can do with the Client, as they are closed binaries.  However, we have been able to patch the client to support "Crew" which of course was not present in 2.0.  Angus took it a step further and managed to allocate memory for the use of more hulls.  This is normally done by the compiler....The old scanner has also made a comeback, allowing players to select them selves and see power and crew. Shift + H has also been patched to heal crew. As well as an old 2.0 bug that left the red target overlays on ships, even when you tried to use shift + b to break attack.

What's next? Well..... Put it this way.... We are looking for 3d modellers....

Supaz, Angus.

We have been having issues with fatal bugs crashing the host.  Previously in the original server, this would of taken almost days to fix.  Fortunately there were not that many.  It is to be expected that we find a lot of bugs in the new server.  But they take mere minutes to fix.

Very quickly, the server's stability will improve.

We have found the memory leaks we were having, and believe we have also fixed the logon issue when the host has been up for a number of hours.

Invalid text bugs that crash client have also been fixed recently.

There is a bug with the client involving the movement of items.  We believe that this is client-side, and will not be present in our next client release, we hope .

Basically we apologise for the state of the server but it is improving fast

r 80 :-

Added higer level questies prisoners/stolen artifacts.
Trade skill no longer raises if purchase fails.
Mobs hostility fixed and reduced further.
Item down time on equip reduced.
Mobs and summons should no longer swap positions.
Galaxy shift fixed.
Boss/Miniboss halos fixed.
Quest names fixed.

Our reverse engineered server is coming very close to it's first round of testing.

We are asking for each clan to put forward 2 players.

These players must be willing to report as many bugs as they find, as soon as they find them, with as much detail as possible... and trust me, there will be a lot.....

They must expect the server to hang many times as exceptions are caught and we endevour to fix them asap.

This is the first stage of the new server going live, none of your actions on this serevr will be saved.

We hope to test for a few days to get rid of the major issues. Then we plan open the test server to everyone for a few weeks.  Again, nothing will be saved during this period.

FULL wiz wil be given to all participants........

Been working away getting things ready for all the new items.

Realised that adding all the items, there's no way of checking what they are used for...

Then I remebered a 2.0 trait that allowed you to hit "ACTIVATE" on an item and it listed what fab, if any, it was used for......

At the moment, it shows all fab entries.

I plan on removeing the fab entries for plussing, as these are not needed.

Just one question,  Would you guys want it to show everything the item is used for even if you cant use it yet??

For example if the item is used in a lvl 70 fab, and u only have 40 skill, you obviously can't use it, so remove it from list? Or even just have it show "XXX is used for Unknown" ?
