my question is why make starports 60 secs?

more people have ships than not, so it's zero seconds

if they want to make a fix, make SHUTTLEports every 60 secs

Still, only having to wait 60 seconds for taking the shuttle from Nym's to Noct has to be nice. (if I am understanding the change correctly)

And you are right.. 60 second wait times across the board would be ideal.

Was the 5 minute starport wait STILL and issue? Oh well, that trip from Nym's to Noct will be nice now.

So where's the REAL patches? Where is a new dungeon or the new instanced dungeons they promised where coming? Even some new space missions would be nice.

I guess I'll cling on to the one thing from this upcoming patch that I like. More Krayts. I've wanted to organize big hunts for them thar beasts since launch!

All maintenance fees will automatically attempt to deduct from Bank accounts after the maintenance pool has been depleted. Once a structure reaches 0 hitpoints, it will flag itself as condemned instead of deleting itself. Condemned houses are not enterable, and all other structures are not usable. To uncondemn a house, simply enter it with enough money in the bank to pay the repair cost. To uncondemn all other structures, use them with enough money in the bank to pay the costs.

WOOT!!!

AND THANK ALL THE GODS IN THE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!

Ships

* Complete revamp of interior ship alarms. They should turn off now. You must redeed existing ships to completely correct the issue
So let me get this straight, because we all know the DEVs are usually vague in their descriptions of the changes and this one is no exception.

If a house at 0 condiition becomes condemed and unenterable, how can the owner go in and put maintennance in it? Will anyone on the admin list be able to go in and pay maintennance, if the owner of the strucure cannot?

Id post this to thread it was announced in but I very much doubt Tiggs would answer it. What they usually do is just let people find out for themselves *shrug*

I interpreted this as meaning you would need to have the necessary cash in your bank to walk in the door.

Basically you are evicted until you can pay the rent.

Added X31 (not a typo) landspeeder to all newbie starting equipment. This new speeder looks identical to the X34 but goes 10% slower.

Awww, look! This is good. I'm glad they're making the new player environment a little friendlier.

I think what they're trying to say is if you're house is condemned you cannot enter UNLESS you have the amount of money to repair it in yoru bank. If you do have the money in the bank it will either automatically deduct from your bank or just give you a system message to pay it.
