[edit] What is new in Host.exe Version 4.000.213k
[edit] Jul 16, 2008
Note: This is a bugfix release that is (probably) not available as download from the official VGA Planets homepage.
[edit] Fixes
- Fixed: Megacredits were not being put into wreckage generated by VCR combat.
- Fixed: Bases generated from an ally's life pod would generate a base for the life pod personnel with base structures the same as the life pod owner where it attempts to land.
- Fixed: Mineral Mines free smelting was being performed without any colonists. 100 colonists are required now (same amount to run 1 mineral mine).
- Fixed: Put in safeguards for new minefield creation in ship minelaying routine to ensure that the host starts with a fresh minefield object.
- Fixed: Put in safeguards for new wing creation in mobile fighter factories and replenish fighters routines to ensure that the host starts with a fresh wing object.
- Fixed: Put in safeguards for new pod creation in Reticulian Light Beam, Dust Off, Cargo Desk, Native Dust Off, Contraband Dust Off, and Incarceration Beam routines to ensure that the host starts with a fresh pod object.
- Fixed: Started the new base with a fresh base to fix an issue where a life pod of another player would create a base with the same stuff as the base that you attempted to land it at had.
[edit] New Features
- New: New Wreckage from combat that you own will attempt to dock to your ships in the area automatically.
- New: Data Sharing player message that shows who you are sharing data with and who is sharing data with you.
- New: Ships built by a drydock will use the crew and fuel of a base of theirs instead of the crew and fuel on their own ship when available.
- New: Sandcaster spread fire.A sandcaster fires at all 10 targets of the target list until it has fired at the first ship or the limit of 30 destroyed fighters per type is reached for all types.
[edit] Changes
- Changed: Bases with 100kt of food will gain a happiness bonus instead of needing 101kt.
- Changed: Bases with 30kt of med units will gain a happiness bonus instead of needing 31kt.
- Changed: Barbitic Minefield damage for moving through them changed. Was: IF Hull Mass < 400 THEN Damage = ((100 / Hull Mass) * (RND * 150 + 130)); otherwise Damage = (100 / Hull Mass) * 80 * RND. It is now Base Damage = ((100 / Hull Mass) * (RND * 150 + 130)) and is multiplied by (12000 - (Hull Mass - 400)) / 12000 for hull mass >= 400, which creates a sliding scale damage.
- Changed: Amphibians chance to produce large weapons is no longer 10% for any weapon. It is now .1 - (Weapon ID / 250). Weapon ID is 1 through 20. 1 being Heavy Laser and 20 being Gatling Phasor.
- Changed: Ships with an engine count of 0 or zero hull speed get a virtual hull speed of 9 (only for space combat needs) and a very small acceleration. They can move now but they are less mobile than for e.g. a Slayer.
- Changed: Wings will earlier try to stay away from targets when in peel off mode due to the gatling phasor as new possible threat.
- Changed: When in strike thru the presence of missile weapons let wings start to fire at max range (but not more than 450). With no missile weapons the wing starts fires if all weapons are in range(but not more than 450) when they do their attack run in strike thru mode. When they are peeling off and hiding for re-charge needs they still fire at the full range.
- Changed: Change the pure Sqr vcr ord dependency on the ord capacity of a fighter type to a mixed linear/sqr function. Small ord capacities take most profit from this. The formula was VcrOrd=Sqr(Ord Capacity) and is now VcrOrd=IFF[Ord Capacity <= 4; 2 * Ord Capacity; 8 + Sqr(Ord Capacity - 4)]. Here is a table to demonstrate the change:
Ord old new ratio Examples 1 1,0 2,0 2,0 2 1,4 4,0 2,8 3 1,7 6,0 3,5 4 2,0 8,0 4,0 5 2,2 9,0 4,0 6 2,4 9,4 3,8 7 2,6 9,7 3,7 8 2,8 10,0 3,5 (Priv T3) 9 3,0 10,2 3,4 10 3,2 10,4 3,3 (Stormer T3) 11 3,3 10,6 3,2 12 3,5 10,8 3,1 13 3,6 11,0 3,1 14 3,7 11,2 3,0 15 3,9 11,3 2,9 (Bird T3) 20 4,5 12,0 2,7 50 7,1 14,8 2,1 100 10,0 17,8 1,8 250 15,8 23,7 1,5 500 22,4 30,3 1,4 (EE T3)
