New Beta Patch

[Will]

Just wanted to let everyone know, Aaron has released a beta patch to the testers, which should fix the fighter bugs and the command-line problems. So a full-release patch is at least partially completed.

[Master Belisarius]

Thanks for the report Will!
Long life to the Cerban Empire!!

Wohoo!!!

[Q]

Thank you very much for this good news!

Any word on what was included?

I'm hoping that the "explosive component" ability has been added.
Aaron said that it was on the to-do list, and I've got lots of stuff to use it on.

(components add X damage to the ship when they are destroyed)

Contrary to popular mythology, nuclear weapons don't explode when damaged. You'd get more damage from the missiles' propulsion fuel, with some radioactive contamination if the warhead is breached.

Antimatter losing containment, though, will be a spectacular bLast.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft
