There's a reason in my blog and the latter is of course an oversight that could be reported. But glad you enjoy it otherwise.

Discovery 4.95.0 Patch 8 -- Hotfix 4

SYSTEMS
- Fixed: Fixed a client crash related to malfunctioning lane effect (Leeds, Tau-31, Pennsylvania, Dresden).

Just out of curiosity, what caused the client crash and how was it fixed?

Greetings, have POBs in Texas as moved around 14k to east (Annapolis Station, Houston International and Chesterfield Station). This is correct?

@Skorak it may sound stupid, but could you add some Titan ships like the stationary Liberty dreadnought on the picture - stationary or non-stationary with kind of 20-30+ millions health + buffed shield, random heavy setup 3 Heavy Mortars + 4 Sledges or something even heavier? Maybe with some rare drop or something. I think it would be fun to face those (nod)

The system was made smaller which is done by shortening lanes, making fields smaller and moving stuff closer together. Everything else moved but the pobs. If you request a move from admins, moves for this reason to restore the original state are free.

Not a stupid idea. I have some similar thing in the list of things I want to try.

Hello.



Is that an out-of-season April Fools' joke? Why wasn't the LPI HC contacted regarding this?

The ring being moved to Planet New Berlin as a ring is incredible. Adds room for a different style base or POB

It ain't about what you are capable of, it's about what you're willing to do.
