1 in thread Defiant Damage is bugged [Known Issues / Troubleshooting]
I'm going to try to be watching this thread during most of tomorrow for anyone who's facing this problem and wants to show me in game, starting around 12pm Pacific. I can look at your character and ship performance and see if anything turns up.

1 in thread A simple design question? [Ask an FLS Developer!]
Entry isn't the problem, and that's intended. I believe there's a bug in how the kills are getting tagged, and that's where the problem is (the ability to "steal" the loot, as opposed to joining to help).

The latest Devlog in our series on the 1.2 build comes from David 'Taelorn' Hunt on the subject of Open Sea Battle Placement.

You can read all about it by visiting this link, but make sure you come back to let us know what you think.

1 in thread After subs expires [North America]
We do. In fact the overhead of the packets we're using is about the same size as the packets themselves. We're just finishing the work now to batch up the UDP traffic so that there will be dramatically fewer updates.
