Aethership Changes
Written by: Roark Libertas
Date: Monday, July 6th, 2009
Addressed to: Everyone
+ The size of the Parallax Arena has been dramatically reduced.
+ SHIP LOOK will show you other ships docked with you when on a
wilderness dock.
+ Gnome ships do not wander about as far.
+ Instead of vortices flinging randomly in aetherspace, it randomly
produces a creature that drains power as one of its attacks. There is
also a new way to siphon that gives you more energy than normal but has
the old risk of being flung about. See the AB help file for siphon.
+ Spawning creatures produces a message to all players aboard the ship
that spawns it when the ship enters the location.
+ Only the ship prompt is visible when locked in a module.
+ New feature: CONFIG SHIPSIGHT <step>. If you set the step to 3 then
you will see the room details every 3rd ship move. If you set it to 4
then you will see it every 4th move, etc. Setting it to 1 means you see
every move, if you don't mind the spam. Setting it to 0 means you never
see it. Note that everyone currently is defaulted to 0.
This is the first part of aetherspace changes that have been scheduled.
Look out for more in the future!
