On Monday January 7th, I will move these forums from their server at Yahoo to my main server at Rackspace. The advantage of this move is that Rackspace provides greater control over the server (full root access) and allows upgrading the server as we grow.

The forums are likely to be down for various periods during that time and it may take a few days for the domain name to transfer over.

I'll let you all know more next week.

Yes, they'll end up at the same server. I might upgrade that server too, but that will be easy once I move the forums.

The Kuiper stargate leads to the Centauri system (which is not included in v1).

There is a chain of gates leading from Sol to St. Katharine's, but it is not included in v1 (it probably will be in future version).
I didn't even see you reply till just now.

Thanks a bunch. Helps a lot.

:o :o :o :o :o :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

O_o

:D

expanding the quarantine zone? :D
Probably not, remember within the Commonwealth there are things from earth.
oh, I meant as in "adding more systems that are playable" rather than "making the canonical quarantine zone bigger"

Oh, got it now. Yeah it would be intersting to see Sol and the various early systems obviously they had no actual habitable planets though it could be interesting to have a mission to sol as transport or such, anyway.


Side note: If we get this quote box any bigger its going to be several pages long.
why are people is talking about v1.00? is it already released??? :shock:
and i never see Sol System in v0.99c, so how can you guys visit earth? mods?

and yeah, i think this is the biggest quote i ever see lol
Really? this entire thing is only 1.4 screens in height...
Anyways, no, 1.0 is NOT released, and .99c DOES NOT have sol (you'd need to mod in the whole system)
well if you still use 800x600px screen, you might see this as several page long.
A better focum engine would trim the vertical padding when you nest thsi many quotes, or not pad so much in the first place.
There's something called a quote bomb where the forum's boarders actually break

phpbb2 forums are extremely succeptable to these[/quote]

Yeah, I've seen one of those on another forum.[/quote]

This is transcendence
I'm making a note here
HUGE SUCCESS
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
Transcendence
We play this great game
because it's fun
For the lulz of all of us
Except the ones who are banned
But there's no sense crying over every last bot
You just keep on modding till you're ready to drop
And the gaming gets done
And we make a modded gun
For the people who are
Still here[/quote]

DOCTOROCTOGONAPUS BLAGHH!!!

Aww digdug... D:

Actually, yeah, it was getting kind of out of hand... (and I knew that, but posting something portal AND transcendence related was too much to pass up...)
We should have a thread in off topic just for quote pyramids.
Seconded, and quoted.

That first one looks like it's about to blow if it gets quoted again.
It still has a ways to go... ^^
So who's going to quote it?
i think this one is going to blow too... it's just time... :D
I'll quote both at once. :twisted:[/quote]I wonder why we suddenly seem to have lost all maturity in this thread... :?
I mean, I would not be surprised if I was doing this on the gpgnet forums, but here...?[/quote]

I think every forum winds up with a thread like this eventually. Since nobody saw fit to create a special thread for the madness in OT it's surfaced here. Just be glad it's all in one place.[/quote]

Yep. At least it showed up in Off Topic, and not somewhere else.[/quote]... This isn't off topic schilcote...[/quote]

We should kill this one and start another in Off Topic. It's starting to push the limits of my monitor.[/quote]

I learned so much from this single quote, to think that four years ago you guys were thinking about adding more systems.
Now we are in 1.1 and we're still keen!

Settings.xml should have an entry for:

multiverse.kronosaur.com

That is the correct address (if it is not working, then please let me know).

Thank you , George :

Now What is the "User Collection" and why was I downloading it ? LOL
I know there is an empty folder for collections ( I stuck things that are not working in there : namely New Playerships that I wanted to try ) But I really do not know what the folder is for yet.

EDIT: RPC just pointed out the obvious : there are checkboxes .....I will go bang my head on the wall now.
