Testing the new visibility system
The new visibility system and the new stats for radars are up on test. You need the test client for it at http://www.starsonata.com/TestClient.zipJust extract it and put it in the same directory as your regular Star Sonata client and run the test client, pointing it at test.starsonata.com

Re: Tsting the new visibility system
Another change that I added to try out is that Seer's now only have to be not visible in order to get the ambush bonus where before they had to be not visible and not detectable.

Re: Tsting the new visibility system
Just updated test with the following changes: - Added new weapon, Seer's Blinder
- Made visibility additive for stacked items
- Increased visibility of fires
- Reduced visibility on Flare and made the Flare a unique parasite
- Halved the detection of all radars
- Added default reflectivity for freighter hulls and other hulls that didn't have it set

It immediately says I can't connect to the server when I try to connect through test client.

Re: Testing the new visibility system
just tested various radars on test
new vis system is broken
EG
lion flair detection VS panther istinct detection while pinging at 100% ping bonus
Panther instinct detection 1732 +!00% ping = 3464 Lion Flair detection 8250
panther radar on ping bonus can detect further than lion flair , but my maths here shows that is shouldnt
why is this so ?

Re: Testing the new visibility system
Good, question, gwizmo, the answer too that is, the new stats of the radars haven't been uploaded to test, yet wait until the reset today and they will be in.. Cheers EPIC

Re: Testing the new visibility system
The new radar stats are on test.
I think maybe the difference is that passive radars have better vision than active radars, while active radars have much, much better detection. Maybe you are seeing the better vision of a passive radar?

Re: Testing the new visibility system
I tried downloading test client, and re-downloading ss itself earlier today and I couldn't get test to work at all, I got the same bug that we all got just now with the actual reset.

Re: Testing the new visibility system
With the new visibility system, I was able to see the sun bob's towing station in sol is attached to. I've also heard that the invisible suns in UZ aren't as invisible anymore
