We have changed the planet display code because quite frankly it was broken beyond belief.

The colonist calculation was all wrong in trying to equate the number of colonists to a tech level for the planet display. All it took was a small number of colonists compared to the maximum a planet could hold for the planet to be displayed as a MAX planet.

Now the planets accurately figure the colonists number to equate to a tech level. So many of you will notice that your planets have downgraded their graphics when you look at them again.

The closer the number of colonists on the planet approach the maximum colonists the planet can support the closer the colonist tech level will get to 600 or max tech.

PS: The Bounty Display has been returned to the LR Scan. :)

LOL I about had a heartattack when I logged in and saw my main parking planet tiny with "worms" around it again!! I was definately relieved when I realized it was a code change :P

Good to have you back and with time to work on the game. The sd defense support changes are absolutely awesome!

Thanks :)

I have two more things to add to the beta game and then I think we will be moving the entire code base to the main game. That should make things more interesting there as well.

Then I will be working on some new things for the beta. Some really big new changes. ;) I am going on a vacation starting friday for a week so there won't be a reset of the beta for at least two weeks. The doctor said going on a vacation and getting away from everything would probably be a very good thing for me. ;) But I will try to get as many things finished for the beta as I can before I leave.

But I will hopefully be able to keep in touch as I am taking a laptop with me and the hotel has internet connections. It will give me something to do before going to bed at night. :D
