More small fixes and world improvements.
- We've made our beta webclient, Chrysalis, available to the public. It is still a work in progress, but feel free to try it out if you're feeling brave!
- We now have slightly better support for the Mudlet client, which amongst other problems has terribly broken compression handling.
- There's now a reward of 50 credits for the first time you complete each of the 5 training simulations. If you've already completed them, you won't get any reward, sorry!
- There's an additional Crewman-level mini-mission available on the station - Robot repairs. An easy mission point for everyone!
- The Combat mission is now worth 2 points to better reflect its difficulty. If you've already done this mission, you'll be awarded the extra point automatically and may gain a rank as a result!
- Dr. Washington on the Cryosphere can now sell you "antibooze" pills for instant sobriety even following near-fatal doses of alcohol.
- Crimes committed on French soil will no longer result in your arrest and fining by British police should you escape back to Empire space, and vice versa. The police of all nations will punish acts of piracy, however.
- The parser now understands stuff like "remove knickers from head".
- There is now a bugstodo command, which is shown in brief to players and staff every now and then if there are bugs that they should be paying attention to. If you've submitted a bug, typo or feature request that was fixed, you should verify it was fixed correctly!
- We now support a new @foo syntax for all commands that accepted targets of the form foo>, such as sing, say and the communications channels like intercom.
- You can now drool, dribble and snore in your sleep.
- Commanders now get to use (amongst other things) the echo command, see a whole load more logmessages about what's going on in the game, get to see more information about the game world around them and can use the dynreset command.
- You can now examine and interact with people's outmost items of clothing and held items, in the same way you could already interact with their weapons.
- setcol now accepts background colour codes for non-channel custom colours. If you really wanted objects to be shown as magenta text on a yellow background, well now you can indulge yourself.
- You can once again steal things from other people. Most jurisdictions frown on this sort of behaviour, however.
- We've also dealt with over 100 bugs and feature requests, and there are new missions, spoilers and privacy policy files you should probably read.
More to come soon, possibly including a revamped spacesuit system and maybe even the long-delayed promise of cybernetic implants and player-owned spacecraft!
