Weekly Update
I started out last week with a couple of bug fixes. First a fix to the spawners that was causing some asteroids to re-spawn immediatly upon death. Second a fix to thenew aug bonuses that can apply directly to all items including hulls and base-kits, which was not working for hulls and basekits because they aren't equipped.
I did the finances for August, which had the biggest paying user growth of any month so far -- after a whole summer of no growth at all. I guess people like playing SS more when they are not having fun outside. Either that or a long universe is boring and a new universe is exciting.
The rest of the week I spent doing a big merge merging in all our changes to the Irrlicht engine 0.13.0 into version 1.1, so that client2 has the latest version of Irrlict.

Unbelievable what a li'l update can do to the players' idea's about you admins. It'd be cool if other admins did it too ^^ (or 1 post for all admins)

Some gear can now have aug like abilities. Like an expander could boost by 20% etc... Like overloaders but not OL's

yay! this 1: proves that I was right about lots of ppl and new noobs liking this game despite all those peeps who left, and 2: My one fear that the admins would have to shut down ss from lack of funding is releived

Atlum added the ability for all items in the game to have augmenter stats, although there is not much in yet that uses it. I think the fine tuned gear is the first batch. The built in aug stats on hulls and basekits is not used yet that I know of (mostly because it didn't work), but you should see it in the future.
What's wrong with the slaves?

How so? Because it has stats on items? Like... Practically every RPG/Action/Adventure game in existence?
