I'm loving the new range on the MAG launcher!

And the extra slot on the sapphire.

[Xephyr]

Erm, just got a Sung slave camp just after Rigel. This certainly isn't intentional, is it?

[Psycholis]

Disintigration proof transuranic? well i'll be...

[Aury]

*immediately goes to check this in the xml...*

HOLY SHNAPPLEBERRIES!

It's true

//this reply was supposed to be sent hours ago, but my computer crashed (yet again) and I forgot.

Yay, Now to go and test this...the change log looks pretty impressive. Am gonna try out the new sapphire.

One thing I forgot to mention while playing RC4 was that, last night, I got a Korolev mission to a settlement taken over by Centauri Raiders. Is that normal?

I really like the new sapphire so far, my current load-out has a 180mw reactor (150 enhanced) the trenton shield, 4x carbide carapace (looking for dyon dust) with an X-ray laser +fast, with bushido and collimator, a Mark III howitzer, nami launcher and a jumpdrive. I have 2 patch spiders and over 100K in the bank heading out of sanctuary.

The RNG feels peculiar, although, this run it's in my favor. I had a dual turbo laser with the collimater and a 50mW reactor by the 3rd system, I had found a quantum CPU and some good trade routes to help fund it all.

So far, no bugs at all but it's looking like a thumb's up for 1.0!
Great job George!

Probably. Feel free to go, err, postal on those raiders.

[Little Modder]

Thanks George! Very nice! Thubs up for the beyond!

Hm, I just had 40-odd tons of uranium ore pop from a small rocky asteroid in the second system. Was I just lucky?

[Aury]

Uranium ore is pretty low level... right?

[Ihlosi]

Uranium ore is pretty low level... right?

It's lv1, but so far I've had only fairly small quantities per (small) asteroid. Makes sense since it sells for quite a bit.

Guess I just got lucky, then.

It appears the wolfen will cause reactor overloads on its own standard equipment (in my case, this happened while shooting at and getting shot by a viking (2nd time) and a heavy raider (1st time)), so a change must have triggered this, since I don't think on any prior versions I'd get this problem. I'd think this should be rectified prior to the 1.0 release.

I'm still looking into this to see if it is possible to happen on earlier versions, however, it is rather unbalancing. I'll still make a ticket for now.

//ok, it is indeed caused by power consumption changes in the items (which I found out thanks to d1gdug).

This bug should, in my opinion, be rectified prior to 1.0, so I give it a no-go for now.

[Wurmish]

So far, so good.

My only complaint has already been mentioned, I played around a bit and indeed, overheating on pretty much the standard equipment is probably bad. Should the Wolfen get a slightly bigger reactor to compensate, or should something not take as much power?
