The worlds smallest screenshot

[Mit]

.. In the next client each faction head will be able to upload a little 'banner' graphic, which will show up next to the name of all players in the faction. ( Creating these little images is a unique skill im sure many of you will be able to manage with basic paint progs etc. )

Note the banner graphics need to be bitmaps 18 x 12 pixels in size.

An example can be found here.. http://woomph.com/bannertest.bmp

and now, the world's second smallest screenshot..


Note the new 'PWR' column - this shows your faction's 'Power Rating'. You gain 'power' for your faction by killing members of enemy factions in space. The actual amount you gain (and the amount the opposition faction loses) is based on a few factors, and is likely to be changed and tweaked a bit once we've tested it out.

Baaasically (and i use the term most loosely)... if you kill a member of a higher-powered faction than your own, your faction will gain a lot, and the other faction will lose some. If you kill members of enemy factions with less or equal power to your own, then you might gain a bit, but not if the enemy faction is particularly weak. (i.e. going around killing 1 member factions with no power won't help your faction much).
Killing non-faction players (i.e. 'newbs') doesn't change your faction's power at all (Or you might lose some if you do it too often).

Does this go into minus or stop at zero?

I've uploaded a closed-beta download for 0.51.9 now so you can try it out.

[zaroba]

any chance of making a way to associate planets with guilds?
like having a line in the server config for guild affiliation or way for the guild picture to be shows in space?

[fhko]

you mean something like this...?

[zaroba]

that would be nice.

[Gavinbaisk]

I killed fhko earlier and the black guard's now got 2 pwr points, so that works

Great job!
