Jumpgate Evolution: Patch 1.0079

Well its that time again! Below is the fix Text and everyone should thank Istvan for his hard work.

.1.0079 - October 8, 2003
------------------------------------------
-Fixed a hardpoint problem on the Harmattan (Quantar LM)

-Fixed a glitch in the bounty/kill system that would increase PR for pilots with far negative PR who make an illegal kill.

-Corrected a minor cosmetic issue with the BuildKit graphics.

-Fixed a problem with the C25-27 model dating from Ep2 release that would cause its shields to flicker when the conflux was firing.

-Corrected an inadvertent setting that would prevent Pirate-registry pilots from flipping beacons that were already tuned.

-Fixed a problem that would force Pirate-registry pilots to Honor Guard in the event of a bountyable kill.

-Implemented code that is intended to interfere with an exploit used in flux space to kill swarms and other flux.

-Adjusted InSight hit "splash" graphic size upward to correct old reports that the effect was too small.

-Simplified POS Storage function so that non-owners do not access Storage screen at all in POS, preventing misleading messages.

-Added Target-under-reticle functionality for POS.

-Added new command "/gear" for a pilot to use when stuck in home faction station with negative PR and has sold vital equipment.

-Corrected a problem where pilots of other factions could not /home in a POS set to Invite-only in neutral space (assuming they were invited in).

-Fixed a couple of problems in sector claiming function that allowed sectors to enter an unclaimed state that was difficult to recover from.

-Adjusted sector claim function so that claiming a sector when the owning sqaud has no members present simply transfers control.

-Adjusted the sector claim rewards to scale with online pilot count, reducing rewards when the likelihood of claims being challenged is slim.

-Corrected a problem with sector claiming PR rewards. The original intent was that your own faction would reward you PR if you are protecting "home" space.

-Adjusted the following weapons to provide better variety and usefulness: Injustice, Peeler, Serializer, Shark, V.A.P.O.R., Warper.
