Looking through last night's logs, it appears that Gurion is the first player to attack another. He killed a ship of cplr and took the planet too.

I thought this was me and automated somehow cause I just killed someones probe :(
Joys of the GMT timezone ;) While you were sleeping . . .
I was just trying to see what would happen if I attacked a small harvester, actually - the planet came for free ;)
Oh and - sorry cplr - a formal announcement would have been the proper form!
PS - loving the 'Trom warning' confirmation prompts - can we keep them, please? ;)
Hmm - but now attacking a planet seems to kick me out and give me the 'missing login screen of eternal limbo' - maybe I'm trying to attack a homeworld?
Oh - I put ships into a fleet to move them- attacking as a fleet did nada - had to disband the fleet in order to achieve anything
OK - attacking a planet, rather than a ship, kicks me off every time now.
We'll look in to that. We know you can't attack people with fleets, it was disabled for the moment. We didn't want to bring all of combat up at once just so we could focus on certain test mechanics.Quote:

No, there is a known issue with attacking a planet directly. I'm busy investigating it on a dev server at the moment. I don't know what the disconnect problem is, that's a separate client bug.Quote:

Yes, the animated combat display is currently disabled. I believe we don't yet have all the artwork in place for all the ship classes.Quote:

Yes. Although I would expect there will be a new server update in the near furture, and I will probably send out a new client as well fixing the current bugs.Quote:
