File is so hot off the presses that Avast won't even open it because of suspicions it's a virus.

Good times ahead.

Thank you!

<goes back to waiting for bug reports to come in>

I mean, if the past is any indication, then a hotfix for something or other will be in order. It'd be nice to buck the trend, though.

File is so hot off the presses that Avast won't even open it because of suspicions it's a virus.

Ugh. Was a problem before with another antivirus for a previous version, too. Could you possibly report it as a false positive, if that's an option?

Interesting! As I can't download/play until later, I'm going to bother you with questions  ;). If I have tac lasers, will putting IPDAI on them cause the range reduction? I would imagine so.

@Falcon speed to 9: Yay!

I believe so, but whichever way this happens to work is "correct" :)

It's a bit less of a bonus now that Sustained Burn exists. I've been flying around with tons of burn-6 ships and it hasn't been a problem.

Avast sends the file to their "lab" to analyze it. It's possible to run the program anyway, and I've already reported the file as legit.

I, for one, look forward to what will be the first bug for this version.

quick question.
(not sure where to put them since they are kind of minor)
is 3rd lvl helmsmanship supposed to work at 1% flux? probably forget the 0 perhaps?

just 1% is correct, yes. basically you can use shields and very rapidly / continuously firing weapons if you've got enough dissipation, but not much besides that. it's not meant to really be a speed boost during actual combat.

It's 1%, yeah. Meaning that if it's anything other than absolutely minimal flux use, it turns off.

Downloading...  I probably will not give much (detailed) feedback for a while.  I am kind of busy with other things right now.

on a side note i died during the tutorial. didn't notice the hit F5 to quick save so i decided to go to the nearest planet since i didn't know what to do after salvage. apparently you start with transponders off and since turning it on/off is disabled in the tutorial i got wrecked by a hegemony fleet. woops XD
