    /edit: never mind, just the link didnt work. When you go to announcements, you can read it.

    Thanks for the update...90 items!?!? Thats really a lot, especially since there are more, including map changes and things.

    Thanks for the info, /me counts to see how many changes were in b4 and b4a.

    /edit: Including map changes, in the B4-B4a changelogs COMBINED, there were 97 items. 66 in b4, 31 in b4a. Other than map changes, there were only <u>50</u> items. So, this is going to be about 2 times the size of changes as b4-b4a combined. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Zunni, can you elaborate a bit on the knockback fix? Is that all that's being listed in the changelog? <a href='http://www.natural-selection.org/bt/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0000004&nbn=14#bugnotes' target='_blank'>Here</a> is the bugtracker link for comparison. There are some inconsistiencies with what the changelog says(1/10 knockback in mid-air as opposed to 1/2, for example), and they haven't yet confirmed that it's actually fixed. Also, they claim that voogru's fix alters knockback to send players straight backwards(I thought I remembered seeing voogru's description of his fix but I can't find it), and Tyr suggested that it's left this way; is that still the case?

    I initially gathered this information from voogru himself. So I'm not sure where the 1/2 vs. 1/10 discrepency comes in (other than to say the original 1/10 values were from back in May). As of the time of writing of this item in the changelog, it was said to work the way it's stated in the given changelog detail.

    Mantis doesn't really indicate the current state of this issue beyond Tyr saying "I like what voogru has done with this--let's see what people think when the patch goes public before deciding? " So I'm assuming (and I will verify) that it does indeed work as has been stated in the changelog.

    If there are updates that need to occur, I will make those changes.

    Thanks for digging this up, clarification is always a good thing, and I want to try to ensure that I get the details right as much as I can..

    Lol I'm just kidding about that, it would be nice, and many of us are hoping for it, but it might not happen (please let it though, please please please please please PLEASE (my idea here is that if I say please enough, it will magically happen)).

    Will the welder sound like the one in 1.04 or will it be the same thing except this time you know when it's not shooting and when it's shooting? Seems weapon upgrades affect turrets in b5.

    The first time I heard the new welder sound. and it is NEW, I said "This is exactly what I pictured the welder should sound like from the beginning.." Your milage may vary from that, but it's very nice.. Much cleaner and so much easier to tell that you are either welding something or not...

    It'd be nice if you said two hirds of the people who bothered to vote in the poll. The voters in that poll aren't the entire community.

    837 is a statistically significant number (regardless of population size, interestingly enough), and while it is a voluntary survey, it is targeted at those most likely to care: those who love the game enough to register and read the forums, and there are quite a few of us.

    If anyone wants to try a more random survey and check the results for accuracy, I'll make the claim of 70% with a 6% confidence interval (seeing as how for the longest time, the poll was pretty much fixed at 69-70%, but is now at 76%) and then you can go and disprove it if you like. Be sure to follow standard statistical procedure. I'll give you a leg up: <a href='http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1426256' target='_blank'>http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1426256</a>
