The beta server is still online... any bugs found? Please report if you have found anything.

If not, I'll probably install this version to official server. And - hopefully - more bugs will be found.

The only important issue is current ping difference between Beta Testing server and 4.77 server. If you'll check and post results here (no need to log in), you''ll help me alot.

I see the 4.78 Beta Test server in the global list, but I cannot connect. The 'taking longer than necessary' message appears, suggesting a lag problem. Very excited about 4.78 so I'll keep trying.
I have to say though that top of my list of desired improvements is the lag. In the last month I've found the 24/7 server just about unplayable for anything other than trade.

Update: Still unable to connect. The ping for the Beta server is much better, as per Korrd's post, so it's strange that I can't connect.

I have one question. Will the torp immune zones on BSs be fixed?

The server's local to me, so I'm gonna give this a try, Korrd. I don't have a decent ship on that server, but I'll try NY to New Tokyo.

EDIT: Confirmed. I set a waypoint to New Tokyo, and it crashed both me and Lancer out. Probably something within the mod itself.

EDIT 2: Seems the bug reflects any waypoints between NT and NY. But once inside the systems, you can set waypoints, which is rather confusing.

From where did you set a new path?

Ive tried one from NY to any other system. It crashed...
Also, NB to colorado (it goes through NY). It crashed...
Any route i set (if it goes through ny) crashes the server. Seems to be a problem with jump holes/gates in the ny system...

I'm releasing a new version of 4.78 beta.

Download link will remain the same. Everyone who downloaded 4.78 beta before 15:35 GMT on November 27 will have to download it once more.

Changes:

Fixed bug with New York path setting.
Switched settings of Crow and Greyhound.
Updated readme.txt file.

Server

The official server will move to new PC provided by ATA Wolfpack, as it proved to be faster and less laggy than mine.

So everyone who plays on our server will have to download this version of Beta.

Moving to 4.78

Some further tests about original ship selling proved that there's no danger to equipment. So you'll only lose a sum of money, which is not really that painful.

Switching ships to a new Discovery one is therefore no longer recommended.

[Korrd]

Ive found another bug:
When i selected the equipment dealer in Omicron alpha (plnet malta), the game crashed. Clientside and serverside...
