The server is running a experimental version of software at the moment. Although it has been tested there is a good chance that issues will sliip through and be found when many people are using it - which is what happened.
For the next 24 hours, several flserver commands including /local and /invite (/l and /i) will not work. I'm going to sleep now and try to figure out the problem tomorrow.
Mining is re-enabled but is different to how it was:
- Fields have a finite capacity. If too much ore is mined from a field to quickly, the field gets harder to mine.
- Prices and drop rates have been adjusted.
- Ore goes directly into your cargo hold. You have to shoot rocks with mining lasers or nothing will happen.
- This is not the final arrangement but rather only the test phrase.
Ramming: be careful if you use a small ship to ram a large ship. The small ship will take hull damage.

Hm, the new mining method sounds rather interesting. Let's see how it'll go? Though it makes small miners a bit useless. Unless they have the big ship to transfer to every 100 units. Still let's see how it'll go. Can't wait to read the feedback. Does that mean no /givecash will work? Just wanna know.
