Only a small percentage of the borg are humans. Wraith seem only able to feed off of humans. Borg would !@#$%^&*imilate the wraith's food stock and starve the wraith to death. Thusly, Borg would win.
-
That's a !@#$%^&* of an !@#$%^&*umption.

01-08-08 Fixed the quick buy/sell of items giving super weapons Added support for absolute properties (=) Added support for properties that ignore item count (!) Fixed the brick items to use the above modifications Changed the output of ?shipstatus and ?iteminfo for more ammo information. Made the vortex more evil.
-
The technical problems aren't an issue. The HS item system can handle a setup like this, but I'm not really sure I want to go back to the old system.
-
No. Ace wasn't fired.
-
I'll see if we can't put the commands.hlp into a lvz in the future.
-
The passwords aren't heavily encrypted, which is the whole issue with connecting to untrusted zones. The biller would get access to all the passwords used on that segment of the network. It would also be relaying commands, which means it could capture all the BanG passwords as well.
-
Smods have duties that mook does not have. Mod+ just means he has access to more of the server internals for some of the projects he was doing.
-
I've haven't been in charge of staffing for years. And for the record, I don't think that we've ever fired a jrmod. So I'd say it's statistically more likely that you'll get fired after a "promotion".
-
From the Hyperspace staff, I'd like to wish all our players a Merry Christmas! Thanks for playing!

Spamming. I would have thought that was obvious, seeing as you sent about 10 lines of numbers in a row.
-
Don't think of it as a put down. Think of it as a challenge.
-
We give HS money rewards for some development, but only to those who can actually do high quality work. The fact that you can't even capitalize your sentences leads me to thing that you probably aren't one of those people.
-
I've no idea. I've never seen the appeal.
-
You'd have to have the same name/password as on SSC. It wouldn't be an independent billing domain.
-
We'd had SSC for at least two years. Probably closer to four years. It was completely unacceptable no matter who you blame it on. Final result is that SSC biller is a dying system. If it takes the game with it remains to be seen. If there were a plausible alternative biller, I'd switch. Unfortunately, there isn't and probably never will be.
-
What's that make us? Big !@#$%^&* heros, sir. Ain't we just.
-
The servers on which zones are hosted aren't especially vulnerable. The firewall was added to protect the biller, not to protect the server on which it resides. Yes, DDOSes became an issue at one point, but that was (as I recall) after the firewall had already been put in place. Ghost Ship kept saying he was waiting for SSC approval before giving it to us. Once he gave up waiting, we got it fairly quickly (meaning only a few weeks).
-
There are reasons not to have balling in the main arena. It may happen that some of them will go away and we'll get a powerball in the main arena, but I'm not going to guarantee anything, and it won't be soon either way.
-
Yeah, I barely remember the first creation of HSTown.
-
Polix is being vague. Probably on purpose. He's proposing the billing equivalent of NAT rather than linking an independent billing system to SSC.
-
Need a starting point for AS3 module developement
Dr Brain replied to Arry's topic in General Discussion
A quick tip: call it ASSS. Those people that call it ASSS are invariably ASSS newbs. -
That's not even remotely true. The SSC Billing firewall was added because Priit didn't have the time to secure the biller. The entire billing protocol is vulnerable. HZ, HS and Powerball all have enough access to steal every player's password and gain enough BanG access to take over the entire network. And if SSC were as active as you say, it wouldn't have taken Hyperspace 9 weeks to get access to the biller when we moved servers.

You could replace the level 4 gun sound with an empty sound file. Other than that, there's nothing you can do.
