Don’t forget to vote for us at www.mpogd.com free daychanges if were in the top 5 !
It is now illegal, and punishable by empire deletion for a House leader or 2ic to place a noob empire on a contested world, unless it is of course their last and only planet, The definition of noob empire is that it is an empire not previously been in any house, and is a genuine new player.
Immobile tanks now have the correct -4 base to hit applied against them.
Also fixed a bug which allowed tanks to gain 1 mp when going backwards even though they were immobile.
Also a whole heap of new research items are added, what i need from the playerbase is to send me images for these items, along with descriptions, please liaise with redneck who will compile this information. So anyone who is good with graphics please do the images
Some clarifications, if anyone changes an empire name to be abuse, a copycat or anything else in my mind to be untoward the spirit of the game i will delete the empire, no ifs no buts, no otherwise. This rule has been in place since day one, do not think you will get away with it. I have several deletions which i will process shortly, thanks again for wasting my time.
Mechs with incorrect weapon loadouts, i have seen a few issues with these of late, if you have a mech with an incorrect loadout it is YOUR responsibility to remove the mech from combat and NOT engage in any combat activity, if you do not pull it from combat you are knowingly and willingly cheating. You are to raise a help ticket with the unit ID and it will be replaced free of charge.
Today i logged in for the first time in 4 days (again been interstate from work) and 75% of all help tickets were about other players being asshats or abusing X or Y, you the players are the ones that are making it hard to get fixes or new stuff implemented when the only time i get on the game is taken up by dealing with rubbish, all you are doing is causing yourself pain by tying me up with non core tasks.
Oh and for the 100000000th time, battles over 250 phases don’t get awarded to one side over another all mechs get put in the same hex and ai resolves it.
The lucky donation/subscritption mech winner (you know that mech that gets all the hot babes and guarantees you a better credit rating at the comstar bank) was the empire Scarlet guards from Blood Spirit, thanks to everyone who donated and subscribed over the last month, good luck to you all in the next month!
The winner of this months FFA prize was: 1st Crucis Lancers RCT: New Avalon Lancers who won a maint free Mars assault tank.
Tank BV & BA. Tank & BA BV is changing, for some reason i cannot explain a lot of tanks & BA have incorrect BV, this is being rectified, You now have notice that the BV is changing which of course affects maint, your brackets and all that sort of thing, you have been warned. This is NOT tankeron.
Fixed an error in incorrectly adding up the sum BV of invasion defenders BV.
There is some new weapons & components which have been added to the game, these have been added to the various research and production trees. (see above note about images needed)
New subscriber feature:
Subscribers automatically in combat have their enemy mech listing modified, they see three new columns, The Distance in hexes away from their selected unit, if they have line of sight to that unit, and also thier UTH (unmodified base to hit) (thats the BTH without weapon and weapon range modifications.
This makes larger battles a heck of a lot easier in the fire phase, so you can easily identify targets in range with los and an overview BTH.
When I get a chance this grid will also show for subscribers who is an ally an who is an enemy.
