Something wrong happened to me... I flew from Sigma-13 to Omicron Gamma and when I docked there game instantly crashed to the desktop... When I logged back my ship was in Sigma-13, but jump holes (which I've "opened" on my way to Gamma) were mapped on my map already...

Wooow, 198-199 players on and no dropping below 197! It means 2 things:

1. works better, much better now. WELL DONE!
2. I will not see it soon.

Now I'll wait next "Ion storm" to enter, see ya.:cool:

OMG Freelancer crashes to desktop everytime I'm trying to dock with Crete (Junker salvager full of scrap metal).

This is not the thread you should be posting your issues in. Use the correct ones please, they are pinned and should not be hard to find.

The release status for the mod remains beta trial and it will be this way for 2-3 weeks. The previous announcement did not make the release status clear. The person responsible for this oversight has been given a stern talking to. When questioned he is reported to have muttered something about new year eve parties, beer and hang overs.

Talking to yourself again...? Not a good sign. Then again, must have been some party.

Anyway, clarifying some specifics:
- Turrets on the Scraper and Surveyor should fire forwards now. Happy mining with these. The Pirate Train had some poorly oriented hardpoints sorted - the thruster for one was blasting the wrong way and some turrets were poorly aligned.
- An unmentioned server crash issue was a couple of Hessian trade path terminating at an undockable base for them (Freistadt) and one Unioner path terminating in a void.
- The Honshu and Burgundy issues are inherent to FL - a limitation of the game being able to handle more then 10 connectors (Gates and holes) in one system, but not documenting this limitation. All other systems were checked and found to have a lower count. This'll be taken into account for future system development - any system with 10 connectors is full and can't get additional jump nodes. This was a nasty bug to figure out.

We'll prolly identify a few more servercrash issues over the coming days, and hopefully fix it.
