I'll ask again... any fixes to the /move up and /move down bugs when moving items in the Y-8?

Found the issue, put an end to it. You will be able to move things up and down in your Y-8 in Pub. 24. Sorry it took so long to get to this issue and put it to rest.

Have a good rest of the weekend

Hey DP,

I really appreciate all the changes that you have disclosed. You indicated that these were coming in publish 24. What is the ETA on this publish?

Also, IIScander proposed a real cool idea quite some time ago. The idea proposed the notion of a player structure that would server as a ship hanger, which a player could put out their ship and let a shipwright work on it. I really love this idea, especially after reading the Han Solo trilogy and reading the description of Shug Ninx's ship shack. Are you looking at this proposal? If so, any idea on when shipwrights could look forward to it?

heres a question.....why not hotfix this??? gotta wait for a publish for a fix?

Ahh, the innocence, the innocence...

Any large scale changes need decent testing - not to devalue DP but it is possible (although highly unlikely) that by fixing this he could have broken something else (like say moving stuff up and down in other POB ships or even houses! or by fixing the schematics he did some other schem now has wrong components needed and will not accept the ones it needs)

TC needs time to test this and so do QA, and they can not test quick enough for a hotfix, hence hotfixes are only for things they absolutely have to have out immeadiately.

It'll be on TC soon (my guess is late this week coming, assuming the final fixes to pub 23 come quick and goes live smoothly, or it will be early the following week). You can then hook up with me or another master pilot and see the stuff in action.

I've already mined some stocks and will have some more done before this hits TC so should be able to start crafting straight away (I was going to be leveling a pilot, but ALL pilot squadrons are broke on TC right now - that's the sort of bug that we don't want to slip live because something is rushed)

I like the changes to MP ships.

The Millenium Falcon took on dozens of TIE Interceptors, Tie Fighters, etc at various times and came out on top. The MP ships have been underpowered for some time, good to see them getting attention.

Sadly no comment on the Y-8, sounds good changes. However due to the bugged nature of the mission to get them, I can't get one .

---

That will change with Pub. 24 as well. I just finished testing my fixes to the protect the convoy mission that was busted in the Y-8 sequence on my test server here, and it seems to work like a charm now. Y-8s for everyone!

Now to see about that move up/down bug in the Y8 interior...

---

Very awesome, assuming you realize that....

a) Y-8 is the best SOE-designed ship to date. The bridge...I really love it....

b) apart from that, I'm afraid the ship has no point. Turret mining is still far, far, far more difficult that mining from one's own ship, making the Y-8's intended role very limited. I've had a Y8 deed from back when they were obtainable, and I've never generated it. If I need aseroid resources, I use my mining heavy X. Is there anything in place looking at this?

If you could fix the missing graphics on some guns it would be nice also.

I ahve a couple of RE'ed 10 guns I screwed up on before I read the thread on missing graphics. It would sort of be nice to use them one day.
