Testing/fixing of the private transport assignment system is taking longer than expected (lots of different cases), but we're getting there.

Best thing to do though when you go beyond the amount of time estimated, is to give an update on why you have gone beyond your estimate. Communications goes a long ways in this industry.

Effective communications actually.  Not, "Hey guys so we were thinking to ourselves that what you did on gamma is not actually what we wanted so  in three days we are going to *** all over your hard work."  But the new changes worked!   Theres so many people in game they  just decided it was better to stay out of general chat for fear of conflict.  General chat actually got into the single digits  during Au timezone  this week.  I would call that success!

Oh and while we're at sharing information, the patch itself is turning out to be more extensive than planned, mainly due to the numerous fixes to missions and the mining tutorial. Which are probably the best reasons to get this out asap smile

I know about one turret bug which should be fixed in the patch, the one where missile turrets decide to shoot or not by calculating LOS in a straight line, instead of the ballistic arc they can shoot in.

so have you guys tested all the possible solutions that I/we gave? or are they not acceptable?

Re: Chirp, Chirp. Any word on the 2 week patch?

So is it a bug or exploit?

If it has been deemed a exploit and has not been fixed it would be best for the devs to detail it and tell people not to do it.

Forum Rule #8 prevents them from doing so....

Okay...

In general then if something is an exploit and the devs have not posted here on the forums or on the blog that it is an exploit. Then I would have to assume that no one can be banned for it since it was not deemed publicly as an exploit by the devs.
