Beta test for TWGS v2.00/TW v3.14
Welcome to the TWGS beta discussion area! I decided to open a forum specifically for this topic because I'm inviting people from outside the forum to join in the beta and wanted to make it easy for them to find where to post bugs, questions, suggestions, etc. I'm moving the related posts from the general discussion area into this area. Feel free to post a new thread on any bug or feature request.
Thanks!

Re: Beta test for TWGS v2.00/TW v3.14
I know Im dreaming but here goes. Listening to all the smack on the hht gave Me an idea for a suggestion, Its just too bad its not possible. what if twigs could recognize all scripts that are being used on the system, and when a new one is used it makes a copy of it and then makes it availible to all. laff would'nt it be nice to not have to hear about someone having private scripts.

Then everyone would be putting expiration dates or you have to use a specific name / corp name in order to use the script. And you would start only seeing cts (compiled) instead of ts that can be edited.

I could also set it to delete a bunch of scripts if it's ran by an unapproved user. Talk about fun... Of course it's not technically possible. Scripts are player-side not server side. The server never gets any of the code.

Re: Beta test for TWGS v2.00/TW v3.14
Do to tactics in the HHT game that some feel unethical
How about a setting for a corp only SS channel , so all players who set this all thier SS comms get rerouted to corp members restricted sub-space channel , so scripts wont have to be changed.
The server just handles the output to restricted groups.
Scanning subspace would be obsolete and end of problems. Otherwise this attempt to revive tradewars can fail before it starts.
This problem has never been exploited because of many of the players would not do it , sorta like duping because its considered by many as not ethical.
But now the basis of how to write these types of script has been released ... Like cby cashing , a fix server should be done. CBY cashing , set death delay. Subspace scanning/spoofing .. corp only comms channel .. all fixed.

Re: Beta test for TWGS v2.00/TW v3.14
i hope this change doesn't happen. With the Advent of controling "bots" thru SS commands (ie mombot) there by controling your afk corpie i think its important to let scripters solve some these issue's ie Sub Space Scanners for people to take advantage of the SS bots and will help to scale them back or make them more dangerous to use...i think the balance this creates ie risk/reward is important. So i hope that jp considers this before handing the AFK bot crowd some ultra secure Corp Channel .
edit:: further i can see the day where bots have SS scramblers to solve this.....I think scripters can solve this without having to change the mechanics of the game.

Didn't he just make a bunch of changes that "scripters" had already solved, so really weather he does change it or not what difrence does it make?

Everytime one scripter does something to change the way the game is played. Other scripters just evolve their scripts to meet the change. H

Re: Beta test for TWGS v2.00/TW v3.14
When a corporation is created, a sub space channel should be assigned to that corporation that can't be used by anyone not on that corp IMO. That would stop all this sub space stuff.
