- If player is inactive for 7 or more days, you will no longer show up on Leaderboards

- AI now will use "Feeder Planets" when available to safely store units and feed them into more dangerous zones of battle
- Layout polish on Kickstarter dialog
- Recent contacts in chat list are now sortable

Build 76502-pte (this will go out a bit later today 1/9/15)
Added:
- Opening new player guide when you are playing against AI will pause the game

Build 76758-pte
Added:
- More server browser improvements
- water depth perimeter in editor
- my planets now work with custom planets
- Can now delete more than 1 landing spot in editor

Make sure you remind Sorian to enter anti-skynet code in the AI

Seriously though, the economic changes look sweet and I'm curious to see how it works with these feeder planets. It's invasions before were rather lackluster, looks like this will help with that

Ooh!!!!
Current game list should have improved responsiveness (changed games list to make use of compression to reduce bandwidth requirements).

General polish on server browser. Scrolling background text removed. Create-local and auto-refresh are checkboxes. The Locked Game Filter mod will be obsolete.

@jables

Can you please add the starting planets... it's a really small change from the Faster Server Browser code :
https://dfpsrd4q7p23m.cloudfront.ne...i/mods/gFasterServerBrowser/server_browser.js

A couple of other really small changes would be the destinations so that failing to join, leaving or being kicked from a game returns to the server browser (as per original Faster Server Browser mod).

Any chance you'll be able to clean up the existing feed?

Current gzipped Uber feed is still over 1.2 MBit/s (155KB+) vs < 0.3 MBit/s (38KB) for filtered, gzipped, 304 not modified feed.

Awesome I like this patch and glad it's mainly performance right now can't wait to install when I get home

Do we need an auto refresh checkbox and a manual refresh button in the server browser?

Why would anyone not want them to auto refresh?

Holkins missing a triangle, both land and sea model.

@jables

Couple of very old outstanding OS X requests:

• can you please map the SDL keycode for the command key in the engine
  [no keycode mapping for SDL_Keycode 1073742051]
• can you please include the latest OS X Coherent devtools in the OS X build

During alpha and early beta on OS X you could map the command key and cut/copy/paste username, password, chat, etc.

Whoa, that's actually a damn cool-looking shot. There is even a star in the background. Cool.

adding additions for the next pte build as I have to head out for emergency. Will be posted to live by someone else as soon as finished building.

New Holkins is nice.

Had the AI commander freeze, and my Holkins shooting stupidly up into space in that game, but it was modded so it's (mostly) my fault

EDIT: Holkins needs more HP though, it currently has the same 1500 that a double laser defence tower, or 1/4 of a T1 factory has D:

EDIT AGAIN: There's also still a NOT FIRING bug, where units won't shoot their full range if the planet they're on is small compared to their range:


Pausing on Player Guide being open is nice too.

Took you long enough!

Changes

• [UNIT] Unit Cannon aim bone changed
• [UNIT] Ion Cannon weapons changed - anti unit-cannon drop weapon is now seeking missiles.
• [UI] Unready disabled once countdown starts
• [UI] Can sort friends list alphabetically or by Date

That doesn't exist for me. Are you in the future?

It refers a deleted post.

Whats more current 76502 because uber launcher says 76557. Which one should I be using??

Just tell the uber launcher to patch the version to the most recent one it knows. If it hangs just click verify again and again until it works.

Which version should I be running? All it give me is the stable 76557 and a new version 79411something like that.
