This patch will indeed surprise you all.

In the EAW house an age old phrase is spoken through gritted teeth, "Thank you Sir, may I have another?"

Meanwhile off in the distance you can hear the faint cry of "Toga, toga, toga".

And Dean Wormer is putting OP house on double secret probation.

OP Patch Tester: May I have ten thousand marbles, please?

Since there IS going to be another patch, I'd like to report two bugs, just in case they haven't been addressed.

BUG 1: I cannot target a Mauler weapon with boarding parties. This is ridiculous as I can target any other weapon on a ship with boarders plus the transporters, tractor beams, sensors, and shuttle bays.

BUG 2: When playing as Mirak, upon getting any new ship with MIRV launchers, I must complete a mission before I can get my full missile loadout and load ammo for the MIRV launchers.

(BTW, calling them MIRV is rather a misnomer, MIRV = Multiple Independent Reentry Vehicles, usually used in ICBMs. These really are just cluster missiles. Even though you can fire them at a planet, it's not their intended purpose.)

Hope that helps with developing the new patch.

1. Not as ridiculous as you think. In SFC terminology, a mauler system is indestructable. Therefore cannot be targeted by borading party, nor be destroyed. (the in patch before the current one, Mauler could. But that was a bug.)
The rationale you ask? A Mauler is not a system, it's the ship. The mauler generators are integrated with the ship so tightly that it cannot be distinguished from the ship's frames. The only way to destroy a mauler is to destroy the ship. (you can however, disable mauler by destroying engines. Since mauler damage is proportional to battery reserve. No engine, no battery recharge, no damage.)

2. Definitely Mirv is broken... Hopefully it'll be fixed. (and re: misnomer, you should know better than bringing modern sciences into Star Trek... :P)

The mauler is linked to all the batteries in the ship, just to give you an idea of its size. You guessed it: it's the whole ship.

Can somebody tell us if this patch is scheduled to be released in less than 30 days?

If not, EXACTLY WHOM do I request to be a tester from to help out? I'm here multiple times each day and my wife can attest to how much time I spend tweaking this game, its ships and spec files EVERY night, LOL.

Qapla!

Excellent. I know I'll be getting that patch post haste just as soon as it's released. BTW, how do I get on the mailing list to be informed of when it is released? I never bothered getting on the updates list because I could always find the patches at Interplay's site, but they've stopped providing lupport last I saw.

Check the Taldren announcements...Taldren will post in there when the patch is ready for download.

Taldren will also have download links for the patch in the announcement message. And those in the forums with web sites will no doubt put the patch up for downloading on their sites as well.
