Wonna have fun?

[MrSpock]

Hello,
Wonna have some fun in playing? Killing people. All that you can have! NOW and Today!
I decided to open the beta of smrealms.de to the public. (at least for some time)
You can find the game - with many enhancements (listed below) at http://beta.smrealms.de
To join that game you need to create an account there. Accounts are totally independent from 'real' game. Everything you do there WILL NOT influence your real account. I'm speaking of stats and Hall Of Fame.

I will throw in cash on an unregular base.

Some enhancements:
* current players was extended to give you slightly more infos.
* cash can be stored on planets. it will not gain interest. you have the ability to put it into a bond. it will be there for 48 hours (it's game time dependant) and it will gain interest for that time.
* removed bank interest
* newbies are shown in italics now on CPL
* on join game screen you see now how many traders already joined each race.
* if you join up to 24 hours late in a game you'll be credited the turns for late joining.
at exact game start you get 100 turns. for each hour you'll get 9 extra turns.
* fixed problem of loosing only 5 turns when jumping from racial to neutral as newbie.
* alliance planet page shows the owner of the planet now
* disallow any character with ascii code lower than 32 and higher than 127 for player_name and alliance_name.
* reorganized rankings page. added racial rankings and alliance rankings.
* reworked plot course.
it's much faster now. although there are some changes comming with that.
you now can plot through unknown space BUT you can only plot two galaxies. so you can plot as far as you can jump...
* fixed the problem where you get a back button error when viewing messages.
* added a 'scan' link after the plot course button.
* government bug fixed
* total rework of photo album
* rework of share alliance map. speed up by at least factor 100. it shares in beta in less than a second. needs carefull testing tho!!

HAVE FUN!
