Patch 1.0096 Technical issues that have prevented client updates since late September have been resolved. In the meantime I had been working on various long-term code projects while awaiting the fix. I've spent the last two weeks or so scrambling to assemble something to patch.

v.1.0096 - December 12, 2004
------------------------------------------
-Corrected a mistake in sound selection for the new light-ammo conflux gun.

-Eliminated a typo that resulted in bad scan missions for Arkan's Cloud sector, which does not contain an anomaly.

-Altered and enhanced the star-plotting algorithms to add more stars and a galactic plane as part of the graphical enhancement program.

-Blocked the persistence of core station particle effects when a pilot jumps to another sector.

-Added code which should eliminate moire patterns caused by sampling rates on textures on objects seen at a distance, at the cost of extra texture memory usage.

-Added code to prevent an exploit that could be used to fool unregulated stations into providing missions, among other things.

-Added shiptype information to the HUD information displayed when Naval Yards are targetted. This information will allow future strategic targetting of Naval Yards.

-Attempted a sound fix to correct issue with certain effects playing even when the effects volume was set to zero.

-Added serverside data structures to support future changes in the areas of conflux spawns and the warfare system.

-Addressed problem with conflux collisions and POS dating from Episode 2 release: Conflux now collide with and attempt to avoid POS.

-Conflux guhfire now collides with POS. Some cosmetic issues remain.

-Addressed a problem caused by timing of information transfer when a flux spawns. Problem became apparent when spawn camping was made possible in a prior patch.

-Altered conflux collision avoidance processes slightly to address problems caused by interaction with POS. This is temporary pending rewrite of flux behavior.

I'm curious what this looks like. Does anyone have a link for a screenshot?

I don't have a screenshot, but I logged on last night. It looks real nice. I can't say it's a massive improvement, but is definitely noticeable. HUD images look a lot nicer too.
