Good evening/morning/afternoon, folks. A couple hours ago we deployed a server-side hotfix to enable ammunition stacking through the autobuy plugin. As of right now, the following weapons will double their ammo capacity if you have two or more launchers equipped:
Bombers
Hellfire Rocket Pod
Gunboats
Harpoon Missile Launcher
Cruisers
Marauder Missile Launcher
Devastator Ion Torpedo Launcher
Trinity Triple Torpedo Launcher
Battlecruisers
Javelin Cruise Missile Launcher
Predator Missile Launcher
Battleships
Lightning EMP Missile Launcher
Reaper Missile Launcher
Hurricane Missile Launcher
The following weapons will have their ammunition stack proportionally to the number of guns/launchers mounted (eg. 4x ammo capacity if 4x launchers are equipped):
Bombers
Bomber Chaingun
Over the course of the next few patches, based on how each of these weapons performs with their new maximum ammo capacities, weapon balance may be tweaked. For now, happy incomingmissileINCOMINGMISSILEINCOMINGMISSILEINCOMINGMISSILE
At around midnight UTC I expect to be turning off FLServer, triggering early backups of our account database and configuration files, restoring from the backups on a new (ish) VM, and pointing the FLServer port to the new VM. During this time obviously the game will not be running. The new VM is running a different version of Windows. I don't anticipate this taking longer than an hour but we'll see.
Players should not need to do anything other than wait for it to come back online. The forums should be unaffected, though obviously some functionality that interacts with the game server may not work.
EDIT: This is being delayed slightly due to a little problem with an admin tool on the new machine.
EDIT 2: Sorted.
EDIT 3: All done.
We're currently encountering a rather unpredictable bug with POBs.
In the case of it, sadly frequently, happening, POBs will be set to a mining event mode.
In this mode, the station will not become hostile when shot, nor will it raise its shields.
Additionally there seems to be an issue with some POBs not repairing at all, consuming resources without replenishing their health pool.
So for the time being POBs may not be attacked by players nor may new bases be constructed(the construction is prevented by requiring an unobtainable commodity)
All attack declarations will be valid again once the bug is fixed.
