Jumpgate Evolution: New Patch 1.0077 Released

| 14 Aug 2003 22:30

Here's the skinny from fixes.txt:

v.1.0077 - August 14, 2003
------------------------------------------
-Removed a way to exploit the /mentor command.
-Fixed a graphical problem with the new Conflux type introduced in 1.0076.
-Changed Custom Producer (and Science Factory) code to correct issues of incomplete transactions or not using all commods needed.
-CPs/SFs will now charge for items where the value of the commodities is less than the price of the produced item.
-Adjusted default chat so pilots over rank 6 will default upon login to F5:chat (US) or F5:eng / F5:ger (EU). Having a channel besides F5:help set at logout will override this default.
-Changed POS information updating to ensure correct market info passes to visitors. This may fix the "/dump bug" that has been common.
-Added new "Spitfire" size 2 ion gun.
-Fixed problem where POS owner was unintentionally required to have enough credits to buy an item being moved out of own market.
-EU-only: fixed problem with /setprice where German-language item names containing more than one space were not handled. Amended affected names to match English client.

The big news here is the new Spitfire size 2 ion gun. We'll bring you some first-hand impressions of this exciting new weapon as soon as we can. Hopefully utilities such as JG Web Tracker and JGRot Pro will feature the new gun soon.

I played around with the Spitfire in the sim, and while I still stink at combat against other pilots, the new weapons seem pretty effective.
