The future of Artemis is decided here

"If the game gets enough support, I think more races, ship types and
possibly crew positions would be added. Maybe carrier type ships where a
player could control a star fighter."

Version 1.2 released!
Yeah, I got to try it out with my 2 nephews 13 and 15. They luv this game, that's right. Those Playstation3, Xbox360 and Wii generation players LOVE this game...
The 3 NEW Torpedoes add a different tactical attacks. Beam frequency can do allot damaged faster. The enemy AI are smarter now. On the higher levels of difficulty they aviod mine fields and you. You fight bigger badder ships, like dreadnought class. Those things fire forward and aft...

Version 1.0 to 1.2
http://artemis.eochu.com/upgrade-1-0-to-1-20.zip

Plus the Ship Modding tool released!
http://artemis.eochu.com/board.html#/20 ... le-256867/


Here are the changes in version 1.2...

Here's the changelog for V1.20.

The enemies are smarter. They'll always form 5 fleets, and advance towards their first station target in a crooked path that avoids
minefields and likes nebulas. They'll stay together, and let stragglers catch back up. They convey more information about what they are
doing in radio signals which the comms station can pick up.

The server setup screen has been streamlined. The difficulty level now sets the enemy beam damage, but also the number of enemies in each fleet.

Every bridge station except Helm has been significantly changed.

Beams and shields now have a "Frequency Channel". The weapons officer can change the beam channel, from A to E.
The science officer can see the frequency distribution of the enemy's shield generator, as a set of 5 bars. The lowest bar is the
weakest frequency, so the weapons officer should set his beams to that frequency for maximum effect.

Torpedos are completely changed. They are much slower and have no max range.
They now come in 3 different types. Type 1 Homing torpedos need a target lock, but then will always
hit the target with great force. Type 4 LR Nuke torpedos launch straight out from the ship,
travel straight until they detect a close enemy, home in, and explode, damaging ships in a large area.
Type 6 Mine torpedos simply fly behind you and become static space mines. The artemis can carry a maximum of 8 Type 1 Homing,
2 Type 4 LR Nuke, and 6 Type 6 Mine.

The Artemis has 2 torpedo tubes, which must be loaded before being fired. The Type 1s need an enemy target lock to fire. The others do not.

Bases have stores of the torpedos, and when you dock, they will re-stock you with as much as they have (up to your max limit). But you can
use all that they have, and they won't be able to give you more. The comms station can now query each base to find out what they have.

Bases make new torpedos, though it takes 2-5 minutes depending on which type they make. Comms can request that they make only a certain type.

The engineering station has lots of new features suggested by the community. The purple buttons now include 'double arrow' buttons
that can maximize or minimize the power settings. Also, if you click on the individual
power circles, you can adjust the power that way. Finally, the number keys on the keyboard can be used to save and restore entire sets of power
settings. To store the current energy settings, hold SHIFT and press a number key. To retrieve that setting, just press the number key.
Two buttons also allow you to trade Mark 1 torpedos for energy, and vice versa.

The science station's contact list has changed. You can now see each contact's distance and direction. If it's an enemy, you can see
how many points are left in its front and rear shields, and if it has internal hull damage. To the left, you can also see it's
shield signal profile. These 5 bars show you which channel of the shield is weakest (lowest). Tell that to the weapons officer so she
can correctly tune her beams.

The comms station no longer has a sensor sweep. Instead, all messages sent anywhere in the sector are omni-directional.
There are no more meaningless messages about "missing the Artemis already". The enemy fleets are smarter, and have more interesting things
for you to overhear.

The new 'Transmit' button in the upper-left is your voice to the game. Click it, choose a type, choose a specific game object, and
choose a statement. The message you assembled will be sent, and you may recieve a reply.
You can tell enemies to surrender. You can tell stations to 1) give you a status report, 2) prepare for docking, or
3) focus torpedo production. Once you ask for docking prep, the station will be more efficient for the next 60 seconds.
You can also send a variety of different messages to other player ships (if they exist in your sector).



FIXED: IF joystick is attached, the warp hotkeys and sliders no longer work. when you use the slider, you have to hold it in place, otherwise you drop out of warp the instant you "let go" with the mouse.
found and fixed bug causing station shields to be very weak
fixed the ability to run up huge energy totals by performing the conversion trick right next to a starbase and docking multiple times
added missiles to science scanner
change torpedo systems power to effect reload speed, not torp damage
server sounds are now audible when the server window is not the active one
the game can now be drug between multiple monitors, IF you do it immideately, before the actual game starts.

1.3 has been released!...

Fer can I get the update. Says you got email from them for the update to 1.3 version if you purchased it...





More pics here

Here's the changelog for 1.3:


All new ship art.

All new UI art.

User interface greatly modified.

Ships are now defined in a file called "vesselData.xml". It can be edited.

Many settings are now defined in a user-editable file called "artemis.ini".

Nuke torpedos are now rarer and take longer to manufacture. Player beams have been strengthened. Player shields
now recharge 50% faster.

Helm and Weapons can click on the tactical display, but now the click (to turn the ship or lock an enemy) is
restricted to the rosetta ring.

Taking the upgrade files from the website, and copying them over the free demo, used to work, sort of. That's been fixed.

Asteroid fields are now in the game. They block movement and all weapon fire.

The client setup screen allows people to choose which and how many stations their computer displays. This screen
will let one computer choose to play several stations at once, but Main Screen and Observer are mutually exclusive to
every other setting. If you choose to make your client be a main screen, that ship will appear in game. This system is
a negotiation; two or more clients can no longer be the same bridge station.

In addition to letting you choose the different bridge stations assigned to your client, every client can also look at
a long range scan, and a front view of the ship.

Implemented sensor ranges/fog of war.

Enemy ships have more interesting weapons and weapon arcs. Different weapon arcs are now color-coded.

NEbulas have been added to the helm tactical view.

Game and installer icons changed.

The "get-too-many-torps-at-a-station" exploit has been fixed.

In a multi-ship game, all ships can now easily re-spawn.

If your ship is hit by an enemy, there's now a "shaky" screen indicator, in two types, and you can turn it off.

Torpedos now have a maximum range.

Comrade G, the file you seek is on the dump. Please do not share beyond the Tizzies.

At some point, when life gets a bit less crazy over here, imma schedule a game of this using Hamachi. Not sure it'll be quite the same without the ability to shout at the crew in the same room, or furiously smoke cigarettes like they were going outta fashion, but it's gotta be worth a shot. Anyone else interested? We have the advantage that since I already own a copy, nobody gotsta pay nothing, yo.

[Xiathorn]

I'm down.

[theG57]

I am game for this. I Captian, my Captain!...
