As Koonschi pointed out, upping Dps is not really the best solution. It still requires you to roleplay or you'll just build bigger ships and negate it. (Maybe an unlimited setting in the server configuration file would make both parties happy?) An alternative that I'd like to see, would be intuitive combat late game. For example: Your chugging along in a sector and surprise! It's attacked. 5-6 Cruisers jump in and have average end game weapons. Well of course, you throw them against the nearest asteroid and continue about your day. However.... This sector is now "marked" (behind the scenes not visible to player) so to speak and elevated to level 2. The next time enemies show up, they bring twice as many ships, and one of the ships is fully outfitted to drain your shields. (Their starting to think). So of course, any seasoned ship would just target the support, and then be fine, but the next set of ships that jump in to the now marked level "3" system.... This time there coming prepared. A Flagship that the code copied from YOUR ship stats (ie. you have 10k blocks, their flagship is 10k blocks), 10-15 cruisers for damage, a myriad of support ships for draining shields, netting your engines, draining power, maybe kamikaze type drones that smash into your ship ignoring shields and explode taking out pieces of key equipment. And if you do happen to jump away, this fleet was ready - they have smaller netting fleets on the other side of most jump paths and the main fleet will follow you until your in safe territory.... The possibilities are endless on what Koonschi could dream up. I think a difficulty system like this would make the game more realistic and less tiring same wave over and over just higher dps.

Thanks, Aki! Worked like a charm.

Hey all, hosting a dedicated server with steamcmd at the moment and would like to update it to the beta branch. Is there a trick to doing this? I updated my client with the steam opt-in, but it doesn't update the server itself. Would copying the bin/data folders from my steam local to the steamcmd folder do the trick? Thanks
