SE5 Patch 1.08 out!

[Yimboli]

w00t

but according to malfador's website the game hasn't been released yet so I'm skeptical. http://www.malfador.com/se5patch.html

So can this be used for the demo as well?

There's supposed to be an updated demo released with the patch.

Just gotta wait for steam to get this working.

SF's download is hella slow, as it was for the demo :O Anyone gotta torrent?

Any idea where I'd find the updated demo? I can't seem to find it on Malfador's site or SFI

Er, as it says in the first post - it's coming out soon(tm), but no guarantee or estimates etc on when. Just "when it's done"

12. Fixed - If you had a treaty which prevented treaties with other empires, you could not propose changes
to the treaty or accept treaty changes with the empire you had the treaty with.

Yay! I reported that to Aaron the other day - glad he got it in for the patch!

15. Fixed - Added back launch rates to components. Units will now be launched at a given rate and your
ship will launch 1 unit per launch bay at that interval. Launch and Recover is unlimited in a normal game turn.

All right! This means we can turn drones into missiles and still give them firing rates dependent on the launcher! (And hopefully the game won't crash with 1000 units launching and shooting at once unless you actually have 1000 launchers in combat )

@ Phoenix-D: I have the ebGames version and the patch took fine.

I’m going to freaking pee myself! I am so happy I gave in and bought the game! This is like the LAST key to making my mod whole and complete. I need to go cry now...

Ok I'm back...*sniff*
An entire line of missile launchers based on drones as ammo and the firing component performs the same as if it was a weapon component? Without the text files I wouldn’t even know where to guess at creating such a component. Can one of you beta testers post a “Generic Drone Launcher” please? Can the fire rate be moded to the equivalent of 4000 ms reload?

So it turns out the delay was the 15-20 items that were fixed in addition in the 1.07 version...
