SHIP REPAIRS NO COST YOU GROATS

by Hazed

Alan is finally working on the Fed code again and is starting to tie up the loose ends in the ship fighting code. Today two changes go in.

The first is that ship repair yards will now charge you for the repairs. Previously, you’d be presented with the bill, but no groats were taken from your bank account. Now the money is taken, which means that fighting now has a cost.

If you don’t have enough groats to pay for the repair then your ship will remain damaged.

The other thing in today is a bug fix. The bug was that if your ship was hit, but no damage was caused, you did not get informed there was no damage – you didn’t get any message at all. Now you will be told that you have escaped unscathed.

Next, Alan will work on the death code… making sure that if your ship gets so damaged it can’t hold together, you die!
