S02E07: Omega 12 - Part II (01-03-'14)

[Martin Thompson]

Omega 12 - Part II

Sunday August 1st, 2370.

The once quiet planet of Sisypha-II has turned into a conflict zone with Section 31 running unauthorised experiments on their space station on one side and the Planet colonist threatening to fire on said station on the other. On top of that, a damaged starfleet vessel is on their way, believing the station to be their closest safe haven for emergency repairs.

With both parties holding a gun to each other's head, Dr. P'Trell is rushed for time completing the Omega 12, Mr Bonchune is feeling the heat from two sides, the crew are on edge and not paying attention to what is happening on their own station as Ms Chen assumes a new identity as starfleet engineer Vivian Li in an attempt to infiltrate the station and put a stop to their illegal experiments...


Here is a list of characters that you played last episode. I don't remember who everyone was, but I'm sure you'll remember yourself:

Station CO Mark Bonchune (SFC3)
OPS Bruenor Entreri
COS Jennifer Slater
CMO Jack Anderson
CSO Thomas Grant
CE Travis Foster (Klaw)
Assistant M'Ral (Andromeda)

Reminder, this is today!

[Andromeda]

I may be late. I've taken my father out for a Birthday dinner. I'm unsure how late I'll be since there's some heavy traffic alerts on the bridge that leads into the town I live in.

[Martin Thompson]

Bump, this is in 15 minutes

[Martin Thompson]

This is POSTPONED to 15-03-2014 due to server issues.

Please try to be there next week and have everything regarding 2.3 in order!

[Martin Thompson]

Reminder, this is tomorrow. Please try to make it everyone, and remember not to use the /respawn command, it crashes the server!

[Martin Thompson]

Due to server issues, this will be pushed back to next week AGAIN.

Because of these issues, we will be running the episode on the old server again, the 2.2.8.4.4 server that is, with the adress of  rpgxef.last-outpost.net if you wish to connect via the /connect command. We will be using the 2.3 server as we have found the cause of the crashes.

See you all next week!

[Telex Ferra]

After two weeks in a row of server crashes for GS, Serris, Lucas Picard, SFC3, Martin Thompson and myself worked for about 90 minutes after the SRP was cancelled and successfully diagnosed the problem.

The good news is, the problem has nothing to do with the map or the Genesis Station server config. We can return to RPG-X 2.3 on starbase315 next week and resume as planned, with appropriate precautions taken by server admins.

As for the cause of the crashes, we know exactly what causes it and how to prevent it. We would rather not explain what it is as it is a critical bug, and we're asking anyone who participated in the testing or read our conversation afterwards to keep it to themselves for now. Once the bug is fixed, I'd be happy to explain it to everybody. 

[Martin Thompson]

Indeed, we have an understanding of the bug now and exactly when it happens, I've tested it out myself and we can easily prevent it.

We will therefore run on 2.3 again next week seeing we can prevent the bug that happened this week and last week!

[Telex Ferra]

This is tomorrow on the 2.3 server.

As I said, now that we know the cause of the crashes we can take appropriate measures to prevent it from happening again. I am expecting no problems during this week's GS

[Martin Thompson]

Another reminder, those people who were there the first episode, please take your name from previous episode (see first post). those who weren't there, please take another position and not one already filled previous episode (again see first post).

[Martin Thompson]

Bump, this is today!

[Telex Ferra]

This is now, come to the server!
