game d
Is there a time limit on the game? I was looking around in the settings and I couldn't find the answer. When I log into the game I get to see where the aliens are at then it kicks me back out...

Re: game d
what server? If you mean JP's test server, I just checked and yes there is a time limit. Looks like 12 hours a day.
Command [TL=11:59:56]:[3279] (?=Help)? :
It should reset at 12:00 midnight server time.

Re: game d
Sounds like a bug. Is there something you are doing immediately prior to being booted?
Scratch that. I see from the log that your time had expired:
09/21/2010 10:43:17 PM comet (2) Halted: BBS Time Expired. 09/21/2010 11:14:53 PM comet (2) Halted: BBS Time Expired.

Re: game d
It would be nice if a message came up when you were out of time and told people "Your time has ran out for the day."

Re: game d
Your time limit displays at the bottom of the screen. If there's no time limit then this would be all zeros.
In this case, it's 11 hours, 58 minutes and 9 seconds.

Yes, I would be nice to get that message when you first try to relog. That would save a lot of frantic e-mail to the sysops.

Re: game d
I always wondered what that TL=00:00:00 was for in the prompt... Learn something everyday...

I think that's what I like about this game the most, there are so many things to discover. Once you have the basic trading and building down then you leearn how to find a good place to build your base and defend it. Then you learn about the differenences between the game settings and battle odds. Lots of learning and strategy, not just shoot'em ups!
