What do you use for XMPP? Client, server? I've never used it.
I'm using tkabber and bitcheese.net, but actually any client/server will do.

Right. Intended as a new weapon niche, good for bad (pilots).

Next weekly test build is around the corner. Is there anything serious that needs fixing apart from the galaxy seed issue?

I assume no other players will sign in for the game, so we just need to know if we'll be 6 or 7.

I expect Magnate to connect when real game starts (from notification).

You have 2 days or 2 months to do it.

Now that I actually read the Pedia page I see that it says "Piloting trait does not affect damage." That should be fine.

There is a more confusing part to me though. It says "The disruption flux can be substantially deflected around ship shields." That sounds like it bypasses shields or at least partially pierces them. But in actuality it is affected by shields. I think the reason for it being unclear to me is it sounds like the disruption flux is doing something to the shield. So switching the subject and object of the sentence may be better. For example: "Ship shields substantially deflect the disruption flux."

Yours is the first English native speaker contribution to its description. I'm sure it's better!

Gah! I really thought you were German.
Apologies for the blunt assumptions!
