website broke here, will continue later https://www.starsonata.com/articles/220

This page is outdated and patch notes are now stored on the website.

To be patched:

(striken = code is done)

Patched in 2013

Feb 19, 2013

Client changes (r3865)

Fixed timer related bug affecting a few players.
Fixed a bug with some of the dark suns rendering.
Fixed the team xp bar and tooltip

Server changes (r9214)

Added support for Crystal (Crate) containing multiple different items.
Fixed attached HQs and Outposts

Content changes (r9214) Additions:

Added galaxy revealing for the locations to get the skills for the Player Progression missions
A couple new DG boss drops

Tweaks:

Reduced the AI base value of Gold and Gold Nuggets
Slimeberg reduced to 1500 hull, 4 aug slots remain, slower max speed, and -5% turning, diameter reduced, new texture
Complete rewrite of DG droplist -- See below

Fixes:

Fixed the Player Progression missions being complete at incorrect times

In part of fixing the DG drops for bosses, the DG boss list has been completely rewritten, you'll find that items will seem more appropriate for their tech etc. Although as a result, the DG drops page on the wiki is now completely incorrect.

Feb 16, 2013

Client changes (r3857) Additions:

Added some stuff to mod panel - Drag the right boarder out to reveal
Added /lkc bufficons to control the number of spaceobject on which you can see the rotating buff (aura/tweaks) icons around. Its only a temporary solution to help with heavy load galaxy lag on slower computer. A new implementation of the buff icons rendering is in process.

Tweaks:

Greatly reduced client load when it is not rendering (background client rendering disabled and the client is not in focus).
Disabled banking when using orthogonal camera.
Slowed down slightly the small target (squad target) render updates to reduce their load on the system
Smoothed up and improved the precision for the logicfps limit (although it will take slightly longer for it to adapt to a sudden change in system load). This should pretty much eliminate the stutter that was caused by the old implementation (there is other sources of stutter that are still being tracked and fixed).
Reduced the amount of render state changes by almost 50%, what that mean is that weak graphic cards for which the state changes were a bottleneck, aren't as limited by it anymore resulting in a drastic fps increases in those few cases.

Fixes:

Removed a few dozen source of fps stutter (a very few slow frame not long enough to drastically impact average fps, but enough for the game to not feel fluid).
Fixed a few bugs in orthographic camera background renders.
Fixed a few bug when background client rendering is disabled.

Server code changes (r9177): Additions:

Team skills are partially added, most of the effects will be temporarily disabled temporarily for the transition.

Tweaks:

Made it so that if you should have more Skill Points than you have, it will be instantly added on connection.
Activity score calculation changed so that small teams (less than 10 accounts) will not grab 100 so easily.
Permanent mutes now also apply in earthforce protected galaxies.

Fixes:

Fixed Sun damage! Suns will now correctly deal damage taking your heat resistances into account.
Fix for wildspace slave item tossing.
Fixed a minor bug with the no jumping after PvP timer which was preventing jumps right after a server load
Fixed a bug where the requirement to own a base in wildspace to attack bases and drones was preventing the player from attacking AI drones
Decreased SP costs for core skills. Piloting now has a cost of 4+(2*level). All the other core skills follow 3+level

Content changes (r9177): Tweaks:

Made Massif III/X larger and Massif II smaller (diameter)
Made the Psionic ships look (200%~) cooler!
Changed the missile on the Volcom Outpost in Nexus to be easier, removed the second Volcom Outpost

Fixes:

Fixed a typo in the Paxian Warp Navigation 4 mission requesting 10 Ancient Pax Medals instead of 20 Paxian Medallions
Fixed a bug in the Proficiency Augmenter mission descriptions requesting Sup. Tokens instead of Basic Tokens.
Fixed Dem/Ada Attached kits BPs requiring stationary kits

Universe reset specific: + Shrunk some of the Nexus galaxies a bit to reduce travel times and make the experience more accessible + Revamped the advanced target drones in Nexus + *Shiny* new DG boss + Reworked the trader missions, they now give more XP and money. ++ Additionally, the minimum level requirements have been removed, and the minimum Danger Factor they appear in have been reduced. + Added a couple of extra non-roaming Star Runners to The Nexus + New Goldenboy home system in the Earthforce Layer, includes some ship upgrades for their ships.

Feb 08, 2013

- Client - r3852 Additions:

Orthographic camera can now be changed ingame through options and without a client restart.
Added support to offset the screen center. in skin.xml <int name="centerOffsetX" value="0" /> <int name="centerOffsetY" value="0" />
SSAO is now functional in orthographic camera.
Gave the Valentine a pink texture for Valentines Day! <3
Added /lkc bufficons to control the number of spaceobject on which you can see the rotating buff (aura/tweaks) icons around. Its only a temporary solution to help with heavy load galaxy lag on slower computer. A new implementation of the buff icons rendering is in process.

Tweaks:

The mission agent dialog is now on top of the inventory.
Changed the notification icons slightly (still needs improvement)
Improved the sun’s corona slightly.
enter key is will now accept the startup graphic dialog
Disabled banking when using orthographic camera.
Changed the default ambient light to 25%
Tweaked the lag killer automated adjustment so that there is less "massive visual impact" right away. for those with slow computers in resource intensive runs /lkl 3 should be sufficient at medium graphic. /lkl 5 will give you very close to all you can get short of removing important features.
Smoothed up and improved the precision for the logicfps limit (although it will take slightly longer for it to adapt to a sudden change in system load). This should pretty much eliminate the stutter that was caused by the old implementation (there is other sources of stutter that are still being tracked and fixed).
Slightly slowed down the small target render updates to reduce their load on the system.

Fixes:

Fixed a few mission list bugs.
fixed some precision issue with the galaxytopixel ratio calculations. which should slightly increase mouse targeting accuracy.
Backgrounds are now mostly functional in orthographic camera (nebula and stars are, but some objects are still wrong).
Improved projectiles aiming sync when there is a small quantity or when they are "important" to you, fired from / close to you or at you.

- Server - r9147 Additions:

Reduced the network delay when in galaxy that is not overloaded. (overloaded galaxies will get the previous global network delay but normal load galaxy will see an increase in network responsiveness around the board).
Made it so you can use items on a wild slave (only use, not equip/toss/anything)
Changed the Bounty Hunter AI attack code, they'll judge whether it's worth their time to attack someone with a bounty before attacking.
Added Demented HQ/Outpost (Will be in a few hours after the patch).
Added Attached versions of all HQ/Outpost kits. (Will be in a few hours after the patch).
Changed Gigantic, OS, micro, and nano C-beam's to also have splash like the regular one

+ Added a special drop table for Urzod.

Gave the police drone a new glowmap.
Added text for item descriptions for items which can't be transferred via TSL.

Tweaks:

Made the Massif III about 10% bigger, fixed some other minor stuff to do with its visage.
Strontium-90 Drop kill mission changed from gold to silver, 25 kills instead of 90 kills
Changed the loadout on the Brigand Volcoms in the Nexus and removed their self-destructor.
Changed the distance at which you can hear the ambient sound for a tractor beam to a constant rather than being based on the tractor beams max range.
Increased the level of some Paximinus AI in The Nexus to level 9 from 6
Reworked the trader missions. Plus item ones are still for p2p's only, they give the most money reward and least XP. Oversized item ones give the most XP (can give over a level each), and least money. Micro item ones give in the middle.
Additionally, the minimum level requirements have been removed, and the minimum Danger Factor they appear in have been reduced (df part will only apply on new uni).
Captured hive, ice pick, forgone, etc. pilots are now size 1 instead of 10.
Enlarged Rattie Moe.

+ Changed the 2nd target dummy in EF Outpost to have a long range physical gun. + Changed the 3rd target dummy in EF Outpost to have a long range physical gun, made it stop shooting for 5 seconds around the time it launches its missile, made the missile only last for a maximum of 5 seconds, made the shields on the missile a lot weaker, and took away the drone warp device.

Made (Tarnished) Imperial Seals and some mission only commodities non-TSL-able. (items/commodity.xml (rev 9139))

+ Shrunk some of the Nexus galaxies a bit to reduce travel times and make the experience more accessible. (For next uni)

Changed the missile on the Volcom Outpost in Nexus to be easier, removed the second Volcom Outpost. (for next uni)

Fixes: + Ai that were escaping from their galaxies, will no longer roam out.

Fixed a typo for the mission to kill Vorian the Rouge.
Fixed a bug with missions locking out at Piracy 20, not allowing those with Piracy 21 to do them.
Cronos will no longer kill himself with Lion Incinerators.
Fixed the visage for the level 6k Aveksaka roamer (Zailaguru Ksatracara).
Removed Nanochips from AI stations.
Fixed a bug where the requirement to own a base in wildspace to attack bases and drones was preventing the player from attacking AI drones.

Jan 23, 2013

Client side changes (r3824)

Some new code in hope to handle nvidia optimus cards now.
Fixed a bug that caused the radar to flicker during connection
Fixed a crash when selling a ship.
Fixed a memory leak.
Fixed a bug that caused your docked ship to appear in the small target list
Multiple other minor fixes.
Added the option toggle for the orthographic camera alpha testing (only accessible in the prestart options, if you don't have them you can manually edit your configs/userconfig.xml or simply delete it to reset it xD).

Jan 16, 2013

Client side changes (r3787) Additions:

Created a custom normal map for zeus throne, zebucart and poseidon ships.

New texture for the Emperor's Crown and King Midas' ship

Tweaks:

Login scene sun and surrounding clouds now rotate the same direction
Mission tracker bug fixes and updates, client support for new mission tags
Removed the search button on the inventory (it served no purpose other than to tell you it was a search field). Replaced with text string.
Removed the search in the skills list when docked at an AI base.
Put in slightly different texture for the Massif ships (not sure why it didn't go before).
Reduced the volume on the Envelopment/Womb sound by about 25%.

Fixes:

Fixed a combo-box client crash where the child list-box would get "removed" before event processing would be finished
Made it so particles emitted by sobs inherit the sobs transparencey/visibility (basically, if you can't see the Rotting Izer, you can't see it's particles)
Fixed an issue that broke text color.
Fixed broken particle inherit velocities

Server side changes (9013) Additions:

New ship Paximinus Scout in the Nexus for the AI Paxians that has a large vulnerability to surgical to make them a little bit less insanely hard for new players
Added a little extra text to energybank descriptions to make it more obvious what they do

Tweaks:

Beefed Flaming Snownet, new stats: +100% Damage, +100% Eletrical Tempering.
Gave Aether scout an additional weapon, additional 10 speed, and increased the cost
+10 speed for Wingship II
Added 5-20 more speed on certain low tech ships that the player is likely to use in The Nexus to reduce travel times and increase the ability to dodge and run away.
Changed MIRV a bit so they should split properly. If they don't, then chances are that target doesn't take mining damage (or not a lot).
Made Drone Research give +1 drone equip slot per level, with a bonus one at level 5 (+6 total, current absolute max is now 25 on a T21 Freighter)
Changed the Rotting Equanimizer Blueprint to give an upgrade item and not take an Equanimizer
Sniper analysis will persist at logout until the sniper's ship or target has evaporated.
Increased the diameter of all stations by 50%, HQ/Outpost kits by 100%.
Cronos base in Tartarus is now stationary
Tartarus grem moon ranges reduced
Reduced generation interval on Vampyre Life Force Generator to 2.5 days

Fixes:

AI with anti-farming tags that are supposed to drop keys or mission items every time have been fixed to drop their items every time. This effects Protoplasmica and roaming T21 bosses (this may require reset/changes on panel.
Fixed Academy MRE Factory appearing in stations when it shouldn't
Added the forgotten drone ops stat on the General Drone Ops Proficiency Augmenter
Fixed a bug with Brute Force's behaviour
Changed Dark Doom Shield - Reduced size to 245 at the cost of decreased regeneration (and thus decreased regeneration cost) - Reverted, doing something else for future patch
Fixed an issue where Brute Force wouldn't always shoot back
Reduced Brute Force's shield bank by just under 25%
Fixed an issue with some (most of the Gunner) missiles not correctly applying their affects on targets other than drones/termite nests
Fixed Titanium Foot giving a bonus to turning instead of thrust
Fixed an issue with the Vazaha Culture 15 mission
Fixed typo in the Nanotech Plating skill description

Fixed some issues with option loading.

Also: Christmas! This year's Christmas event features a very pretty improvement to the Lapland galaxy. There is also some fancy new holoprojectors (costumes) and the return of some long-lost AI! The event also features some new missions and a few other 'fun' things.

Note that this patch is a full client patch, with a partial server content patch, so a lot of code fixes that are server side changes won't come until next patch, it's also quite probable that I missed something off patch notes, or included something I shouldn't have. If I have done this, I apologize, it will be in next full patch notes, or added next full patch!

Nov 09, 2012

Additions:

New visages for Thoraxes and MagCannons, as well as UrQa plasma weapons.
Account global storage locker
New "jump to" dialog in slave edit order, using a special version of the map to let you click on the target galaxy, instead of doing every galaxy 1 by 1. It also indicate if your jump chain is broken at some point and not looping properly.
Laser are now 50% larger and have a bit more of a "punch" presence for the first 200ms

Added T5 Proficiency Class and Proficiency Drone Augmenters, requiring level 1 in the respective skill.
- Added missions and tokens etc for the above.
Method to obtain the Vampyre Life Force factory (mission).

Fixes:

Fixed a bug causing ships to change when docking (at least i hope its fully fixed this time).
Repair cost display fix for the case where more than one item in a stack were damaged.
Fixed the bases not showing up in slave edit order.
Fixed a client crash.
Fixed the shutdown message to use timer notification.
Made it so reconnecting will refresh your server shutdown notification.
Fixed the repair cost desync with the client.

Fixed an issue where Sniper Analysis was being calculated based on the wrong skill.
Fixed population census display.

Removed extra start base for one of the A38 pass card missions.
Fixed typo in Ares' shout.
Fixed various typos/layout problems in mission texts.

Tweaks:

Slight particles rendering improvement (should improve fps by about 30% if your slowdown were the particles, namely in high action scenes with a lot of firing around), this is especially true for graphic level medium and low.

Oct 19, 2012

Fixes:

Fixed a couple of engine mounts, added listing for Wingship II Pro in game_data/ships.xml

Fixed a bug with deadliness score
Fixed a bug where RadX could allow you to dock slaves that they should not have been able to capture.
Rewrote worker appetite in way that do not lose precision with number (tested using 600,000,000 workers and 2,000,000 hydros and 300 workers with 1 hydro over 24hours with rations remaining perfectly stable). There is still a very small loss of precision on server restart, so it is recommended to use 299 workers for 1 hydro (just so that rations will pile up), although the precision loss is usually less than 1 ration per restart on a 300 worker scenario.
Fixed an issue with the new loyalty score calculations, where too much score would be lost when a member left the team.
Fixing trading score, to ignore the old stuff.
Fixed a server crashed that could occur when admins tried to spawn AI via the command.

fixed a few cases where drag and drop transfer did not work
fixed some issues with the lagkiller not delaying properly on galaxy jumps/connections
Galaxy map tooltip is closed when the map is closed w/ F6
fixed an issue that caused lagkiller to kick in when the background render was disabled and you would go back to the client after a long time.

- Graphical -

Changed the UV map on the Red Photon Support Cruiser to look better
Fixed panther Kitten and Willow O' Wisp engine mounts/visages
Fixed Pax Chrismasicus engine mounts
Fixed engine visage related engine mount problems for: Panther Kitten, Pax Levitas, Santa's Special Sleigh
tweaked the lagkiller to be a bit less aggressive in the first levels.

- Features -

fixed holding shift during drag and drop transfer to only transfer one item
Exact chat commands are accepted even if they are prefixes of other commands
Added chat commands /avoid and /avoidteam, for telling autopilot what galaxies/owning teams to avoid; Shift+Right Click on galaxy in map has same effect as /avoid
Shift + (default Shift+V) activates autopilot to selected galaxy (on map)
Galaxy map tooltip will state "No Valid Path" if none can be found for selected (clicked) galaxy
Activating centered map will no longer set selected galaxy every time you jump
Layer transition arrows on galaxies in Nexus and Celestial Garden layers now point the right way
Autopilot trail is also shown in galaxy map (yellow)
Layer transitions and shortcuts (Juxtaposition etc.) are shown for both trail types
Avoided galaxies are shown in gray on the map
Multiple performance improvements.

Added Juxtas and other warp 4 shortcuts to the map
Made the emp star sizing work just like the old sizing (there wasn't much variance with how it was currently being done)
New login screen galaxy

Content - Some will not go in before new universe -

New prizes for the strontium missions
Added FC Aura gen to RP
New instanced mission addition to the T21 missions in Staff Quarters
Changed sebastapols to reflect their old stats better (reduced speed, increased spread and spray, given them relative speed)
Fixed Ambrosia Drones.

All RP capital ships: Increased hull to 800 (warship: 790->800, carrier: 790->800, support cruiser: 750->800, logistics cruiser: 760->800)

Server

Cannot warp to a no pvp gal for 60 seconds after commiting a hostile act.
New team score system, as detailed in Dev Notes (viewtopic.php?f=9&t=53482) (only the score, not the skill/xp yet)
Added the /nf command. Given a value between 1 (default) and 20 (extreme, do not use). This increase the delay between network updates from the server. To help on slower/less stable connections. the fastest updates is 100ms for new objects (like when you fire) and positions update close to you. the nf value multiply that timer, so if you use /nf 3, then that 100ms is now 300ms, giving more time for the server to combine data together, saving a little on bandwidth and a lot on network load. ** This value is not saved between server restarts but will remain between client restarts **
For the first 5 secs after you connect, the network factor is automatically set to 5, to give a chance for your network to handle the load when in an heavy galaxy. After those 5 secs, the value is set back to your configured /nf value (default is 1)
Selfdamage weapons (lion incinerators and the likes), will now self damage properly on multifiring (this mean 5x more self damage if you mf 5 lincin).
Fix for workers not eating properly

Aug 22, 2012

Additions:

Added a bit of a deadzone to the item tooltip movement detection, so that it should ignore accidental displacement (up to 25pixels)

New AI base in Free Market with F2P stuff in (Will go in next uni)
Added aug drop chance modifications so we can alter that on the fly (already patched)
Added a new commandline argument --postpatch. Possible values are quick, regen and, patch. quick force a quickscan for the dds and normal maps generation and generate those that changed. regen recreate all dds. patch is a quickscan then automatic shutdown (to be used automaticly by patchbot to do the initial cache creation on installs and patches.
Given AIs their own version of the Prognosticator Cylinder and beefed it.
Added a new setting for dialogs KeepOnScreen that'll force dialogs to stay visible, it'll move any that are out of view into view on load/open/save.
Added the KeepOnScreen setting to most dialogs, including Blackbox, Mission, Character, Contacts, both inventories, Item Tooltips, Options, New and select vendible, suicide, station, gal map, moderator, and slave orders.

Added Resistance Augmenter Condensers and drops.
Mission Tracker - Disabled by default, enable in settings.
Added a warning if your base is being tractored, similar to the warning if its being attacked.
Added a system allowing us to easily multi thread small sections of the code, gaining performance on multicore/hyperthread system as it get used. Currently only used in projectiles aiming code to fix the issue where projectiles were completly out of sync on beta.
New Wisp Visage

New Grim Reaver ship with new texture.
Added a "Check Market Price" option on right click in inventories and trade tabs. Shows the same info as the /mc command.
Made single aug destruction work with base augs
New Paxian mission to make players aware there are more exploration missions in the hidden base.

Tweaks:

Raised max PVP level to reflect the new skill system
Removed SSE requirement from the game. No fps impact but the client should now start on very old cpu (Athon x1 and pentium II along other) i highly doubt the game will be any playable on those, but hey, if someone want to start it, who am i to stop him xD.
Tweaked the targeting system to give a lower priority to credits (if you die and try to click on your ship, it will select the ship even if there is credits around, if you want to select the credits, click 2-3 times to cycle the targets).
Tweaked some projectiles network code to be kinder on the network especially when shot from far away from you.
Changed the construction list tooltip to work in the similar way trade bay tooltip works.
Changed Hermes radars to give off less visibility.
Moved the ship upgrade items from von Mises (Free Market) to Rock Harbor (Ring).
Non-sticky super items are now limited to 2 per ship, and 5 per capital ship. (sticky inbuilts to not count towards this total)
Tweaked the code so that transferance use the old coloring (instead of using the core color as default).
Reworked Moderator panel to be nicer
Changed crazy glue to effect item durability
In the rare case that 0 credit damage was done, no coins will drop.
Beefed Motorway and Autobahn drone auras
Beefed Christmas Spirit
Gave the Monochrome Hue a super item.
Lagkiller now tries to keep the amount of visible projectiles to specific limits (the lower your graphic level and the higher the lagkiller, the least projectiles are allowed on screen, when the amount of projectiles go above that limit, the system will smoothly remove projectiles from the streams so that it is not too noticeable (and doesn't prevent you from seeing what is firing at what, just that instead of having a stream of 200 projectiles all on top of each other, you would have maybe 75 or so)
Reverted Pretender Poseidon change.
Changes to the Flamberge: removed -thrust and -turning, added a capacitor
Userbase will not visualy create their addons if the lagkiller level is higher than 5 (extension bays, trading bay etc) to try to help the performance. (only happen when jumping into a gal after setting the lag level (or reconnecting).
Made "Base" Inventory filter also show any item tagged as "base only" instead of just "base" type items (requires updated server to actually work, but doesn't break things if used on live server)
Changed userbases and drones to be boxes on the radar instead of spheres (similar to ai station currently).
Performance optimisation in the sob clipping code.
Multithreaded the sob clipping code
Some performance optimisation for the projectiles rendering when lagkiller is higher than 0
Increased the cost on the PWI to give it some proper repair costs.
Increased size of the Master Chain Transfer lasers and removed the Freighter lock (cause they're engineer locked).
Increased the range for which the Paxian Probe will spawn (next uni).
Tweaked targeting a bit so that clicking multiple times on a target will cycle with a bit more mouse movement, and is now tied to the galaxy position instead of the cursor position (so if you keep your mouse on top of a moon and keep clicking, it will select the base attached to it
Slowed down the fps a bit during the textures preload to help on single core system.
Patchbot now use an on disk cache for all the "non critical" files md5. Essentially bringing any subsequent md5 generation speed to instant (the first one will still take a little while).
Patchbot is now a lot more stubborn in keeping its connection alive and should be working on just about any type of connections (at least, any connection able to play the game).
Patchbot now resume broken downloads automatically (old version was doing it, but not as well and much less efficiently).
Compressed high quality and low quality texture cache are now separate so that there is no need to regenerate it everytime the graphic quality is changed.

Fixes:

Fixed mobile drones not following through warp.
Fixed the huge lag spikes that was happening on the server sometimes randomly during bvb (at least i sure hope so).

Fixed the bug where fighters would not return to their owner/home ship after it left the galaxy, even if it came back.
Fixed a server lag/crash.

Tweaks:

Made it so that a Director can promote a councilor to take their place.
Durability/repair system rework, no longer require any parts.
- Repairing mid-flight can be done for twice the cost, if you have not fired or been fired upon for 1 minute and are not moving. Doing so will cause you to receive a 10sec -100% shieldcharge/energyregen/thrust/turn.
- Dieing now cause credits to drop, worth about 70% of the total damage value. The drop is attached to the killer.
- Doubled the price on all Gear Glues. Gear Glue has been added to Metal Mining Inc. in Arena Lobby where you can sell any old Gear Glue you have left for it's original value. We will not refund if you sell to a different station and get less, nor if you accidentally buy any extra Gear Glue from this station. This will be removed at the end of next uni.
Capture error now better prioritizes which error to give.
New Galaxy Map loading code that should take less than 10 seconds to load fully. (That depend on your connection but should still be much faster).
Removed the pointless "Use how many items?" dialog, it was buggy (extra item would often disappear) and had no useful function.
Changed tractors to use smooth energy, instead of taking large chunks.

Dropped Prismatic Conversion's tech level from 6 to 3 to better adjust for skill point cost changes awhile back.
Beefed Darkness Warmed Over a tad.
Reworked Ares Black Stallions.
Beefed Red Photom warship.
Gave both Poseidon Expanders 5 extra space.
Tweaked a spawner in Dark Maelstrom.
Beefed Argeiphontes Hermes(+) and it's inbuilts a bit
- Hermes Adrenaline Injection isn't so mean on the DPE effect now.
- Mobile Concealment Array is now a slow moving mobile drone.
- Aura on the above has also been beefed.
Changed description on Dark Kobaldstein's seer virus lasers to indicate what they are better.
Next universe Staff Quarters in Olympus won't be instanced.
Next universe there will be north and south roaming versions of the T21 daily mission roaming bosses.
Changes to Pretender Poseidon to make the "Drones of Olympus" mission easier (he now drops four to five weaker drones during the first 25% or so of the fight which are for the mission).

Additions:

Added Square bool to XML gui system. It is a parameter to go with the element resize to ensure it remain square (width == height) when resized.
Added lagkiller support to the light manager to reduce/disable the light as it increase
Added lagclipping part to the lagkiller. Essentially give the power to clip out less important things if they are further away from your ship (the more zoomed out you are, the more aggressive it is), things like nametag, team flag, thruster particles, get clipped off quite early if you are zoomed out to the max, they are far from you and your lagkiller is increasing.
Added some more profiler precision.
Added more power to the lagkiller to reduce the lag experienced by those who sent me profiler dumps (/dp).
- 5 new LKC values
  - LKGPU_LIGHT: Reduce the number of rendered lights, when ratio>=1. disable the lights alltogether).
  - LKGPU_LAGCLIP: Control how far from your ship non important effects will be displayed (flags, nametag, thruster image etc will be removed from rendering if they are too far, having the camera zoomed out also reduce the distance on screen, will always ignore your target.
  - LKGPU_BILLBOARD: Control the clipping for some billboard effects (many weapons projectile, engines etc rely on those).
  - LKGPU_PARTICLES: Control how many particles are rendered. The higher this value, the less particles will be on screen. Higher than 1.1 will disable all particles (not recommended).
  - refraction: Controls the refraction bubble effects (warping, explosions etc) 0.2 should be enough for an intense fight.
Added some code that reduce the ammount of flare particles depending on how many there is on screen (the actual maximum quantity depend on your graphic level and lagkiller particle variables).
Added repair all button to station general tab.
New 3D radar which tilts with camera (can be turned off in options), including detection and weapon range circles, set distance range circles and zooming

May 22, 2012

Additions:

Added failsafes to ensure the camera correct itself if it someone get set with out of bound values.

Expanded the AP text at the top by a bit so that when it wraps it won't get cut off.

Added an attempt at freeing some gpu memory when running out (might not free much or even crash, unable to test reliably)
Added faster gui rendering, this is what has been in beta for quite some time now, it is now a toggle. If your gui mess up when you enable it, you can press scroll lock to temporarily disable it and access your configs. (was already live)
Smoothed the projectile firing code so that the bullet stream should be a lot more constant without depending as much on the server performance (still is affected by the server performance, but much less affected by slight spikes).
Made it so that even if your rate of fire is faster than the server frame rate (hard cap of 10shots per second still exists (unrelated)), the server will create multiple projectiles in one frame to compensate and with the smoothed projectile, will also position them as if they were shot in between the 2 frames hence keeping the stream of bullets in a nicer shape. (up to 5 bullets can be shot in a single frame if the server is slow enough).
Added Astral Travel to train in Lyceum. Ran across a old forum post where we had mentioned we'd add it. (Might not appear till next uni)

Fixes:

Fixed a bug with /play causing the camera to mess up utterly
Fixed multiple client crashes.
Fixed a bug where Poseidon would suddenly become non-tractorable

MIRVs fully fixed... Hopefully.
Fixed the issue where Poseidon would suddenly become non-tractorable.
Fixed the size of the EF dreads in Zeus
Fixed t21 mission combat control bot missions to not all read light fighter
Fixed a missile BP requirement

Tweaks:

Improved server performance
Lowering ShM mission requirements to match their reward's tech levels so they might actually get used.
Base factories with long recharges now save their progress on server restarts.
Improved the game performance profiler (/dp) precision in some slower part of the code, to help tracking down the source.

May 02, 2012

Additions:

A new client command (/lkc) used to control different lagkiller values (only 3 non generic ones for now rmbg to control the background removal, slowgui to control the gui render speed and starbg to control the background stars quantity).
Another new client command to allow you to save your /lkc /lkl /lku settings called /savecommands . It will open an edit box, you type in the commands you want the client to execute before starting (1 per line) and press ok, from there on, every time you restart your client those commands will be ran. Since those are ran before the connection to the server, you cant use those for server side commands or chat, only client side commands which are mostly limited to /lkl /lku and /lkc related commands.
Added /fr to do a near instant reconnection (essentially forcing everything to reload from the server) (to help when suffering from desync)
Added /record and /play to record and play stream from the game (it is still in development and has no guarantee to support the current file format. But basicly, using /record filename and /play filename you can generate/play a file that the client can reread to reproduce what you saw (or at least try to). These may break your client a lot, you may have to reinstall(?), you have been warned.
Added support for editing objects on live for those with fancy powers (very basic but works, client may crash).
New Poseidon Crown texture
Added support to time groups of missions instead of individual missions

Added t21 freighter + blueprint
Bonnet ambush spawners

Fixes:

Fixed a docking issue where if you had a base targeted, and then tried to fly over and dock at another base far away, it would give you an error that you weren't close enough to dock. Now it will not consider targeting a base to be your preference if that base is too far away.
Fixed the bug where your shield bar shows "+-" when you have negative regen
Fixed bug that allowed f2p to fire weapon based superitems in wildspace
Fixed bug that allows f2p to use weapons based superitems in wild space

Fixed an issue causing the Harrison Solo missions not being completable.
Fixed x5 turn in missions for T21 shard/tokens
Fixed Mattock Augmenter BP constructing Pick Augmenter instead of Mattock Augmenter
Fixed a bug with negative shield regen tweaks not kicking in right away if your shield is full
Fixed "return to infernal darkness" mission.

Tweaks:

P2p can no longer transfer slaves to f2p in wild space
F2p can no longer use RTS controls to force slaves into wild space
Census will now show pop to 2 decimal places
Bases will now show a more accurate error when an upgrade fails
Lagkiller will now reduce the number of layers in the backgrounds up to lvl 5 where it disable them completly (some lower end graphic cards are having a hard time with the fillrate required to render those properly, still investigating solutions on that side but in the meantime that should help).
Low graphic now have a maximum of 2 layers in the backgrounds
Lagkiller now reduce the number of background stars as it increase.
Profiling now include gpu load, but the code to calculate that will cause the profiler to drop your fps dramatically (about half your normal fps in most scenario), /dp will also disable the profiler after dumping the value on screen to recover those lost fps.

Tweaked GSA spawners in Searing Rift to not overlap with Hope's aura
Remove Disintigrator missile resistance tweak since they don't stack, replaced with DoT effects
Class locked all new missiles to Gunner

Reduced the Gol. Vahaza inbuilt by a factor of 10 weight
Changes to the Paxian Battle Frigate (somewhat beefing)

Note: Pre-patch, may be extra stuff in patch not currently listed here.

Easter 2012! Yes, it's that time of year again, Hot Cross buns and ressurection. Lent and rabbits.

This years Easter event hosts much of the same content as last years, Easter Bunny and Zombie Easter Bunny return along with their merry band of Eggbox Crates, but what else did they bring with them? I guess you'll have to play to find out!

Fixes from last year:

Egg weapons no longer shoot off to the side at an angle.
Coloured Eggs (John's missions) drop when they should. Any surplus Eggs are tradeable for other rewards.
Easter Bunny & Zombie Easter Bunny's scripting fixes.
Mission texts all rewritten to fit style of other missions.

+'''This page is outdated and patch notes are now stored on the website.'''
+== To be patched: ==
+ (striken = code is done)
+== Patched in 2013 ==
+=== Feb 19, 2013 ===
+Client changes (r3865)
+* Fixed timer related bug affecting a few players.
+* Fixed a bug with some of the dark suns rendering.
+* Fixed the team xp bar and tooltip
+Server changes (r9214)
+* Added support for Crystal (Crate) containing multiple different items.
+* Fixed attached HQs and Outposts
+Content changes (r9214)
+Additions:
+* Added galaxy revealing for the locations to get the skills for the Player Progression missions
+* A couple new DG boss drops
+Tweaks:
+* Reduced the AI base value of Gold and Gold Nuggets
+* Slimeberg reduced to 1500 hull, 4 aug slots remain, slower max speed, and -5% turning, diameter reduced, new texture
+* Complete rewrite of DG droplist -- See below
+Fixes:
+* Fixed the Player Progression missions being complete at incorrect times
+In part of fixing the DG drops for bosses, the DG boss list has been completely rewritten, you'll find that items will seem more appropriate for their tech etc. Although as a result, the DG drops page on the wiki is now completely incorrect.
+<br>
+=== Feb 16, 2013 ===
+Client changes (r3857)
+Additions:
+* Added some stuff to mod panel - Drag the right boarder out to reveal
+* Added /lkc bufficons to control the number of spaceobject on which you can see the rotating buff (aura/tweaks) icons around. Its only a temporary solution to help with heavy load galaxy lag on slower computer. A new implementation of the buff icons rendering is in process.
+Tweaks:
+* Greatly reduced client load when it is not rendering (background client rendering disabled and the client is not in focus).
+* Disabled banking when using orthogonal camera.
+* Slowed down slightly the small target (squad target) render updates to reduce their load on the system
+* Smoothed up and improved the precision for the logicfps limit (although it will take slightly longer for it to adapt to a sudden change in system load). This should pretty much eliminate the stutter that was caused by the old implementation (there is other sources of stutter that are still being tracked and fixed).
+* Reduced the amount of render state changes by almost 50%, what that mean is that weak graphic cards for which the state changes were a bottleneck, aren't as limited by it anymore resulting in a drastic fps increases in those few cases.
+Fixes:
+* Removed a few dozen source of fps stutter (a very few slow frame not long enough to drastically impact average fps, but enough for the game to not feel fluid).
+* Fixed a few bugs in orthographic camera background renders.
+* Fixed a few bug when background client rendering is disabled.
+Server code changes (r9177):
+Additions:
+* Team skills are partially added, most of the effects will be temporarily disabled temporarily for the transition.
+Tweaks:
+* Made it so that if you should have more Skill Points than you have, it will be instantly added on connection.
+* Activity score calculation changed so that small teams (less than 10 accounts) will not grab 100 so easily.
+* Permanent mutes now also apply in earthforce protected galaxies.
+Fixes:
+* Fixed Sun damage! Suns will now correctly deal damage taking your heat resistances into account.
+* Fix for wildspace slave item tossing.
+* Fixed a minor bug with the no jumping after PvP timer which was preventing jumps right after a server load
+* Fixed a bug where the requirement to own a base in wildspace to attack bases and drones was preventing the player from attacking AI drones
+* Decreased SP costs for core skills. Piloting now has a cost of 4+(2*level). All the other core skills follow 3+level
+Content changes (r9177):
+Tweaks:
+* Made Massif III/X larger and Massif II smaller (diameter)
+* Made the Psionic ships look (200%~) cooler!
+* Changed the missile on the Volcom Outpost in Nexus to be easier, removed the second Volcom Outpost
+Fixes:
+* Fixed a typo in the Paxian Warp Navigation 4 mission requesting 10 Ancient Pax Medals instead of 20 Paxian Medallions
+* Fixed a bug in the Proficiency Augmenter mission descriptions requesting Sup. Tokens instead of Basic Tokens.
+* Fixed Dem/Ada Attached kits BPs requiring stationary kits
+Universe reset specific:
++ Shrunk some of the Nexus galaxies a bit to reduce travel times and make the experience more accessible
++ Revamped the advanced target drones in Nexus
++ *Shiny* new DG boss
++ Reworked the trader missions, they now give more XP and money.
+++ Additionally, the minimum level requirements have been removed, and the minimum Danger Factor they appear in have been reduced.
++ Added a couple of extra non-roaming Star Runners to The Nexus
++ New Goldenboy home system in the Earthforce Layer, includes some ship upgrades for their ships.
+<br>
+=== Feb 08, 2013 ===
+- Client - r3852
+Additions:
+* Orthographic camera can now be changed ingame through options and without a client restart.
+* Added support to offset the screen center. in skin.xml <int name="centerOffsetX" value="0" /> <int name="centerOffsetY" value="0" />
+* SSAO is now functional in orthographic camera.
+* Gave the Valentine a pink texture for Valentines Day! <3
+* Added /lkc bufficons to control the number of spaceobject on which you can see the rotating buff (aura/tweaks) icons around. Its only a temporary solution to help with heavy load galaxy lag on slower computer. A new implementation of the buff icons rendering is in process.
+Tweaks:
+* The mission agent dialog is now on top of the inventory.
+* Changed the notification icons slightly (still needs improvement)
+* Improved the sun’s corona slightly.
+* enter key is will now accept the startup graphic dialog
+* Disabled banking when using orthographic camera.
+* Changed the default ambient light to 25%
+* Tweaked the lag killer automated adjustment so that there is less "massive visual impact" right away. for those with slow computers in resource intensive runs /lkl 3 should be sufficient at medium graphic. /lkl 5 will give you very close to all you can get short of removing important features.
+* Smoothed up and improved the precision for the logicfps limit (although it will take slightly longer for it to adapt to a sudden change in system load). This should pretty much eliminate the stutter that was caused by the old implementation (there is other sources of stutter that are still being tracked and fixed).
+* Slightly slowed down the small target render updates to reduce their load on the system.
+Fixes:
+* Fixed a few mission list bugs.
+* fixed some precision issue with the galaxytopixel ratio calculations. which should slightly increase mouse targeting accuracy.
+* Backgrounds are now mostly functional in orthographic camera (nebula and stars are, but some objects are still wrong).
+* Improved projectiles aiming sync when there is a small quantity or when they are "important" to you, fired from / close to you or at you.
+- Server - r9147
+Additions:
+* Reduced the network delay when in galaxy that is not overloaded. (overloaded galaxies will get the previous global network delay but normal load galaxy will see an increase in network responsiveness around the board).
+* Made it so you can use items on a wild slave (only use, not equip/toss/anything)
+* Changed the Bounty Hunter AI attack code, they'll judge whether it's worth their time to attack someone with a bounty before attacking.
+* Added Demented HQ/Outpost (Will be in a few hours after the patch).
+* Added Attached versions of all HQ/Outpost kits. (Will be in a few hours after the patch).
+* Changed Gigantic, OS, micro, and nano C-beam's to also have splash like the regular one
++ Added a special drop table for Urzod.
+* Gave the police drone a new glowmap.
+* Added text for item descriptions for items which can't be transferred via TSL.
+Tweaks:
+* Made the Massif III about 10% bigger, fixed some other minor stuff to do with its visage.
+* Strontium-90 Drop kill mission changed from gold to silver, 25 kills instead of 90 kills
+* Changed the loadout on the Brigand Volcoms in the Nexus and removed their self-destructor.
+* Changed the distance at which you can hear the ambient sound for a tractor beam to a constant rather than being based on the tractor beams max range.
+* Increased the level of some Paximinus AI in The Nexus to level 9 from 6
+* Reworked the trader missions. Plus item ones are still for p2p's only, they give the most money reward and least XP. Oversized item ones give the most XP (can give over a level each), and least money. Micro item ones give in the middle.
+* Additionally, the minimum level requirements have been removed, and the minimum Danger Factor they appear in have been reduced (df part will only apply on new uni).

+* Made (Tarnished) Imperial Seals and some mission only commodities non-TSL-able. (items/commodity.xml (rev 9139))
++ Shrunk some of the Nexus galaxies a bit to reduce travel times and make the experience more accessible. (For next uni)
+* Changed the missile on the Volcom Outpost in Nexus to be easier, removed the second Volcom Outpost. (for next uni)
+Fixes:

+Note that this patch is a full client patch, with a partial server content patch, so a lot of code fixes that are server side changes won't come until next patch, it's also quite probable that I missed something off patch notes, or included something I shouldn't have.

+<br>
+=== Nov 09, 2012 ===
+Additions:
+* New visages for Thoraxes and MagCannons, as well as UrQa plasma weapons.

There is still a very small loss of precision on server restart, so it is recommended to use 299 workers for 1 hydro (just so that rations will pile up), although the precision loss is usually less than 1 ration per restart on a 300 worker scenario.
+* Fixed an issue with the new loyalty score calculations, where too much score would be lost when a member left the team.

+* Fixed panther Kitten and Willow O' Wisp engine mounts/visages
+* Fixed Pax Chrismasicus engine mounts
+* Fixed engine visage related engine mount problems for: Panther Kitten, Pax Levitas, Santa's Special Sleigh
+* tweaked the lagkiller to be a bit less aggressive in the first levels.
+- Features -
+* fixed holding shift during drag and drop transfer to only transfer one item
+* Exact chat commands are accepted even if they are prefixes of other commands
+* Added chat commands /avoid and /avoidteam, for telling autopilot what galaxies/owning teams to avoid; Shift+Right Click on galaxy in map has same effect as /avoid
+* Shift + (default Shift+V) activates autopilot to selected galaxy (on map)
+* Galaxy map tooltip will state "No Valid Path" if none can be found for selected (clicked) galaxy
+* Activating centered map will no longer set selected galaxy every time you jump
+* Layer transition arrows on galaxies in Nexus and Celestial Garden layers now point the right way

+* Layer transitions and shortcuts (Juxtaposition etc.) are shown for both trail types
+* Avoided galaxies are shown in gray on the map
+* Multiple performance improvements.
+* added a space before the name in chat on the first line, essentially making it impossible to fake another player name due to how the word wrap work.

+Server
+* Cannot warp to a no pvp gal for 60 seconds after commiting a hostile act.
+* New team score system, as detailed in Dev Notes (viewtopic.php?f=9&t=53482) (only the score, not the skill/xp yet)
+* Added the /nf command. Given a value between 1 (default) and 20 (extreme, do not use). This increase the delay between network updates from the server. To help on slower/less stable connections. the fastest updates is 100ms for new objects (like when you fire) and positions update close to you. the nf value multiply that timer, so if you use /nf 3, then that 100ms is now 300ms, giving more time for the server to combine data together, saving a little on bandwidth and a lot on network load. ** This value is not saved between server restarts but will remain between client restarts **
+* For the first 5 secs after you connect, the network factor is automatically set to 5, to give a chance for your network to handle the load when in an heavy galaxy. After those 5 secs, the value is set back to your configured /nf value (default is 1)
+* Selfdamage weapons (lion incinerators and the likes), will now self damage properly on multifiring (this mean 5x more self damage if you mf 5 lincin).

+* Added a new setting for dialogs KeepOnScreen that'll force dialogs to stay visible, it'll move any that are out of view into view on load/open/save.

+* New Paxian mission to make players aware there are more exploration missions in the hidden base.
+Tweaks:
+* Raised max PVP level to reflect the new skill system
+* Removed SSE requirement from the game. No fps impact but the client should now start on very old cpu (Athon x1 and pentium II along other) i highly doubt the game will be any playable on those, but hey, if someone want to start it, who am i to stop him xD.
+* Tweaked the targeting system to give a lower priority to credits (if you die and try to click on your ship, it will select the ship even if there is credits around, if you want to select the credits, click 2-3 times to cycle the targets).
+* Tweaked some projectiles network code to be kinder on the network especially when shot from far away from you.
+* Changed the construction list tooltip to work in the similar way trade bay tooltip works.
+* Changed Hermes radars to give off less visibility.

+* In the rare case that 0 credit damage was done, no coins will drop.
+* Beefed Motorway and Autobahn drone auras
+* Beefed Christmas Spirit
+* Gave the Monochrome Hue a super item.
+* Lagkiller now tries to keep the amount of visible projectiles to specific limits (the lower your graphic level and the higher the lagkiller, the least projectiles are allowed on screen, when the amount of projectiles go above that limit, the system will smoothly remove projectiles from the streams so that it is not too noticeable (and doesn't prevent you from seeing what is firing at what, just that instead of having a stream of 200 projectiles all on top of each other, you would have maybe 75 or so)
+* Reverted Pretender Poseidon change.
+* Changes to the Flamberge: removed -thrust and -turning, added a capacitor
+* Userbase will not visualy create their addons if the lagkiller level is higher than 5 (extension bays, trading bay etc) to try to help the performance. (only happen when jumping into a gal after setting the lag level (or reconnecting).
+* Made "Base" Inventory filter also show any item tagged as "base only" instead of just "base" type items (requires updated server to actually work, but doesn't break things if used on live server)

+* Performance optimisation in the sob clipping code.
+* Multithreaded the sob clipping code
+* Some performance optimisation for the projectiles rendering when lagkiller is higher than 0

+* Increased size of the Master Chain Transfer lasers and removed the Freighter lock (cause they're engineer locked).
+* Increased the range for which the Paxian Probe will spawn (next uni).
+* Tweaked targeting a bit so that clicking multiple times on a target will cycle with a bit more mouse movement, and is now tied to the galaxy position instead of the cursor position (so if you keep your mouse on top of a moon and keep clicking, it will select the base attached to it
+* Slowed down the fps a bit during the textures preload to help on single core system.
+* Patchbot now use an on disk cache for all the "non critical" files md5. Essentially bringing any subsequent md5 generation speed to instant (the first one will still take a little while).
+* Patchbot is now a lot more stubborn in keeping its connection alive and should be working on just about any type of connections (at least, any connection able to play the game).
+* Patchbot now resume broken downloads automatically (old version was doing it, but not as well and much less efficiently).
+* Compressed high quality and low quality texture cache are now separate so that there is no need to regenerate it everytime the graphic quality is changed.
+Fixes:
+* Fixed mobile drones not following through warp.
+* Fixed the huge lag spikes that was happening on the server sometimes randomly during bvb (at least i sure hope so).
+* Fixed Anti Alias

+* Fixed a bug where a Director could demote himself.
+* Fixed a bug where sometimes Untanglers (Graviton Diffusers) wouldn't work.

+* Durability/repair system rework, no longer require any parts.
+** Repairing mid-flight can be done for twice the cost, if you have not fired or been fired upon for 1 minute and are not moving. Doing so will cause you to receive a 10sec -100% shieldcharge/energyregen/thrust/turn.
+** Dieing now cause credits to drop, worth about 70% of the total damage value. The drop is attached to the killer.
+** Doubled the price on all Gear Glues. Gear Glue has been added to Metal Mining Inc. in Arena Lobby where you can sell any old Gear Glue you have left for it's original value. We will not refund if you sell to a different station and get less, nor if you accidentally buy any extra Gear Glue from this station. This will be removed at the end of next uni.
+* Capture error now better prioritizes which error to give.
+* New Galaxy Map loading code that should take less than 10 seconds to load fully. (That depend on your connection but should still be much faster).
+* Removed the pointless "Use how many items?" dialog, it was buggy (extra item would often disappear) and had no useful function.
+* Changed tractors to use smooth energy, instead of taking large chunks.
+* Dropped Prismatic Conversion's tech level from 6 to 3 to better adjust for skill point cost changes awhile back.

+* Added lagkiller support to the light manager to reduce/disable the light as it increase
+* Added lagclipping part to the lagkiller. Essentially give the power to clip out less important things if they are further away from your ship (the more zoomed out you are, the more aggressive it is), things like nametag, team flag, thruster particles, get clipped off quite early if you are zoomed out to the max, they are far from you and your lagkiller is increasing.
+* Added some more profiler precision.
+* Added more power to the lagkiller to reduce the lag experienced by those who sent me profiler dumps (/dp).
+** 5 new LKC values
+*** LKGPU_LIGHT: Reduce the number of rendered lights, when ratio>=1. disable the lights alltogether).
+*** LKGPU_LAGCLIP: Control how far from your ship non important effects will be displayed (flags, nametag, thruster image etc will be removed from rendering if they are too far, having the camera zoomed out also reduce the distance on screen, will always ignore your target.
+*** LKGPU_BILLBOARD: Control the clipping for some billboard effects (many weapons projectile, engines etc rely on those).
+*** LKGPU_PARTICLES: Control how many particles are rendered. The higher this value, the less particles will be on screen. Higher than 1.1 will disable all particles (not recommended).
+*** refraction: Controls the refraction bubble effects (warping, explosions etc) 0.2 should be enough for an intense fight.
+* Added some code that reduce the ammount of flare particles depending on how many there is on screen (the actual maximum quantity depend on your graphic level and lagkiller particle variables).
+* Added repair all button to station general tab.
+* New 3D radar which tilts with camera (can be turned off in options), including detection and weapon range circles, set distance range circles and zooming
+<br>
+=== May 22, 2012 ===
+Additions:
+* Added failsafes to ensure the camera correct itself if it someone get set with out of bound values.
+Expanded the AP text at the top by a bit so that when it wraps it won't get cut off.
+* Added an attempt at freeing some gpu memory when running out (might not free much or even crash, unable to test reliably)
+* Added faster gui rendering, this is what has been in beta for quite some time now, it is now a toggle. If your gui mess up when you enable it, you can press scroll lock to temporarily disable it and access your configs. (was already live)
+* Smoothed the projectile firing code so that the bullet stream should be a lot more constant without depending as much on the server performance (still is affected by the server performance, but much less affected by slight spikes).
+* Made it so that even if your rate of fire is faster than the server frame rate (hard cap of 10shots per second still exists (unrelated)), the server will create multiple projectiles in one frame to compensate and with the smoothed projectile, will also position them as if they were shot in between the 2 frames hence keeping the stream of bullets in a nicer shape. (up to 5 bullets can be shot in a single frame if the server is slow enough).
+* Added Astral Travel to train in Lyceum. Ran across a old forum post where we had mentioned we'd add it. (Might not appear till next uni)
+Fixes:
+* Fixed a bug with /play causing the camera to mess up utterly
+* Fixed multiple client crashes.

+* Fixed items being remotely tossed sometimes showing up in the wrong place.

+* Fixed the issue where Poseidon would suddenly become non-tractorable.
+* Fixed the size of the EF dreads in Zeus
+* Fixed t21 mission combat control bot missions to not all read light fighter
+* Fixed a missile BP requirement
+Tweaks:
+* Improved server performance
+* Lowering ShM mission requirements to match their reward's tech levels so they might actually get used.
+* Base factories with long recharges now save their progress on server restarts.
+* Improved the game performance profiler (/dp) precision in some slower part of the code, to help tracking down the source.
+<br>
+=== May 02, 2012 ===
+Additions:
+* A new client command (/lkc) used to control different lagkiller values (only 3 non generic ones for now rmbg to control the background removal, slowgui to control the gui render speed and starbg to control the background stars quantity).
+* Another new client command to allow you to save your /lkc /lkl /lku settings called /savecommands . It will open an edit box, you type in the commands you want the client to execute before starting (1 per line) and press ok, from there on, every time you restart your client those commands will be ran. Since those are ran before the connection to the server, you cant use those for server side commands or chat, only client side commands which are mostly limited to /lkl /lku and /lkc related commands.
+* Added /fr to do a near instant reconnection (essentially forcing everything to reload from the server) (to help when suffering from desync)
+* Added /record and /play to record and play stream from the game (it is still in development and has no guarantee to support the current file format. But basicly, using /record filename and /play filename you can generate/play a file that the client can reread to reproduce what you saw (or at least try to). These may break your client a lot, you may have to reinstall(?), you have been warned.
+* Added support for editing objects on live for those with fancy powers (very basic but works, client may crash).
+* New Poseidon Crown texture
+* Added support to time groups of missions instead of individual missions
+* Added t21 freighter + blueprint
+* Bonnet ambush spawners
+Fixes:
+* Fixed a docking issue where if you had a base targeted, and then tried to fly over and dock at another base far away, it would give you an error that you weren't close enough to dock. Now it will not consider targeting a base to be your preference if that base is too far away.
+* Fixed the bug where your shield bar shows "+-" when you have negative regen
+* Fixed bug that allowed f2p to fire weapon based superitems in wildspace
+* Fixed bug that allows f2p to use weapons based superitems in wild space
+* Items can no longer be used on stasis ships.

+* Fixed x5 turn in missions for T21 shard/tokens
+* Fixed Mattock Augmenter BP constructing Pick Augmenter instead of Mattock Augmenter

+* F2p can no longer use RTS controls to force slaves into wild space
+* Census will now show pop to 2 decimal places
+* Bases will now show a more accurate error when an upgrade fails
+* Lagkiller will now reduce the number of layers in the backgrounds up to lvl 5 where it disable them completly (some lower end graphic cards are having a hard time with the fillrate required to render those properly, still investigating solutions on that side but in the meantime that should help).
+* Low graphic now have a maximum of 2 layers in the backgrounds
+* Lagkiller now reduce the number of background stars as it increase.
+* Profiling now include gpu load, but the code to calculate that will cause the profiler to drop your fps dramatically (about half your normal fps in most scenario), /dp will also disable the profiler after dumping the value on screen to recover those lost fps.
+* Made Hunter scoop (Hawk inbuilt) T0
+* Buffed Hawk a bit
+* Equalaugmenter fix
+* Decreased how often/when Dark Kobaldstein does his shield tweak
