Discovery 4.84 beta 5 Release - Igiss - 12-02-2007

Discovery 4.84 beta 5 Release

This is the 5th beta of Discovery 4.84. It will be installed on both RP and PvP servers.

Thorough testing of balance is necessary this time, along with all kinds of minor misprints and errors you may find. Specific thing that requires testing is collision damage and asteroid collision issues.

However, balance is still number one priority. All features of 4.84 are ready now, even including most news I intended to include, and only the balance tweaks separate us from final version release.
