Moving to 4.78

[Igiss]

Finally, the 4.78 beta development is almost over. I'm not revealing the full changelog now, will do that later... however, there are several important things that everyone should know about.

1. Original Freelancer ships

Switching ships is no longer recommended, but you won't get money for your previous ship hull if you bought an original game ship before 4.78.

2. Server Location

This time I'm intended to create a separate beta server that will be online along with the old 4.77 server. On the beta server you'll have larger starting money, but your characters from old server will not be transferred. Or even if they will be transferred, all your progress on the beta server will be lost after official server moves to 4.78.

There will be no player wipe. User database from 4.77 will be transferred to 4.78.

Everyone who wishes to test should be ready for downloading 4.78 beta at least twice, for there surely will be some changes along the testing. The file size of beta has increased almost twice in comparison to 4.77.

3. Discovery Mod Version

Like it was with previous releases, 4.78 beta will have the 4.77 version number. You will not be able to connect to beta server with old 4.77.

Cool... :yahoo:
Mayor diferences between the new version and 4.77... I look forward to play it...

But io have some dumb questions to do :
If i understood correctly:
--I will have to replace my fighters (Sabres) for some other, like an avenger, then re-buy my sabre...
--And with capsips... Do i have to replace them with other ships, then buy them back?
So i sell my RH bs for a train, then buy back the BS? same with cruiser...

I know, stupid questions. But i wanted to be sure...

Capital ships: I'll just edit your cargo manually.
Sabres and ships alike: yes, you'll have to buy something different.

Changing server rules:

1) Immunity list is no longer (because it's unneeded);
2) Name change requests will cost 1 million credits per 1 name change. Players who request change and don't have enough credits may specify another character from whom I will take the money.

What about dueling and warring rules? You still have none.

I've even tried getting people to vote on two of them....

I will look through yout suggestions later. Just having no time now... but yes we'll have rules for dueling and system conquest.

Don't worry. Take your time, they're still being refined... But it seems no one is suggesting anything as of yet.

What about the Large Train? That's a Discovery Mod flyable ship, not a regular one if i'm not mistaken ?

As for my two Cap ships.. I guess i'll have to ask to have them upgraded when the 4.78 goes out >:)
