SEV Beta History starting V1.0

[Raapys]

I believe that's only for the 'Fire On..' command to destroy vehicles in system view, not in combat.

[Slick]

and it doesn't work.

[President_Elect_Shang]

I thought it worked if you had one point.

[Slick]

That's correct. That's why it doesn't work. Why on earth (or other celestial body) should it require 1 movement point on the target ship to fire on and destroy it?


I guess it is more correct to say: it doesn't work correctly.

[Raapys]

Well, at least it's in good company O_O

[Raapys]

Nice amount of fixes. Are we getting 1.25, or will he be doing another before releasing?

[Captain Kwok]

I think it will be v1.26 with a few more little fixes.
