NOTHING NEW ON FIGHTING THIS WEEK
by Hazed
This week I can report that… nothing has happened. The news in real life may be exciting what with Trump in the US and Brexit in the UK, but in Fed DataSpace it’s all quiet.
Alan is still working on the next part of the fighting code, which is to do with making use of more than one of each type of laser in your ship fight. He’s also checking out what’s going on with a couple of laser fight bugs reported by a player. All of this means that there’s nothing ready to go in the game this weekend.
Maybe next week…
Stop the presses, hold the front page. The newsdroid had just presented me with the finished issue of this week’s Fed2 Star and I was preparing to press the big red button on my desk that broadcasts it to Fed DataSpace, when Alan told me he had fixed the bugs that had been reported in laser fire.
The problem was that when you fired a laser at your opponent but it missed, you weren’t getting told it had missed. So it appeared that your lasers always hit – but never did any damage.
Alan will look at making the damage report for the defender more detailed so there is no confusion about what’s happening during a fight.
