If your on Corp 1 your SS = 1
Corp 2 = 2
1 - 100 Corp secured
101 - 500 Player secured (Assigned)

Don't like it then just pick above 500. Just as a suggestion, could widen the numbers but for current player that will exceed anything that I have ever seen.

Worrying about what a player will exploit next is impossible to predict, fix the known and forget about the rest. People are always looking for an edge.

Well, this is an independent server setting, and if players prefer not to use it, I'm sure an op won't set it. I'll go ahead and turn it off on the beta site. I just wanted to have a look at it and make sure it's working.

While I can see why #1 makes sence for these settings, but I'll have to agree with Orion on this one. Particularly if it's a time limit game with a relog penalty, I would not want to have to log into the game just to see who's on.

Can you make independant toggles for each of the 3 settings?

? for #3 - Once fully logged into the game, does the CLV show current data or is there always an hour lag?

Toyman , that is an excellent suggestion , reserving the first 500 SS channels for corp channels .. that would not break scripts and would make secure corp comms.

I can't wait for the next upgrade to TWGS , so far I had my reservations about upgrading.
But have noticed (with chats with friends) that all these settings are configurable and viewable by the players.
So if you don't like some setting , go back to the JumpGate or other web site and find another server to try.

One thing I'de like added soon would be the class 0/9 hardening feature in Bang menu.
I think my hardening script only goes as far as times 7.
Although I don't know if 10 might be a better top end.

Either way , once these ports were set this high , it is not worth blowing.
Even by the most powerful teams.

Last thing .. Great job on this project John.
I really hope trade wars lasts a long time ..
even if there are a few "un welcome mats" out there.

I hope not enought to kill the game.

I can't wait to see what kind of tourney settings there will be in the future now that we have enough to really screw up an edit.
(too bad SG isn't around to do his best) , he always had a way to make things
very dificult in an edit ... he would love what he could do now with just the last 10 things added to TWGS.

He will always be remembered , I didn't ever have a problem with him .. just his edits .. lol
BTW for those who remember he also had a radio show I appeared on once or twice all the way from Guam.

Gotta love that guy
may he live forever in out thoughts.

I'd say there has been more than enough ways to really screw up an edit for a long time now. But hey, that's how you separate the elite ops from the masses, right? I just want people to be able to experiment and provide the kinds of games their players want.

The "hide connection details" setting for TWGS menu has been requested many times. Now that it's in, maybe people will think better of it. I'll let them decide.

Vid, I definitely intend to do the port hardening. Just keep on me ;)

If you don't like the "hide connection details" setting in general, you should at least like it because it finally forced me to move a bunch of server settings out of the offline Config area and into the Command Center in a new Server Settings tab. So you'll be able to toggle settings like this without dropping the server. And while I was at it, I brought IP management along with it. So you can ban and unban from the CC now. Woot :)

Very nice, thanks this has been a long time coming.

I second that , that was a requested thing in the config menu ...
Not that I ban many players .. but I have been banned more then once
and cause a SysOp doesn't want to take his server down
was an excuse for not being un-banned.

So the change is welcome news
