It enables MBBS compatibility .
This means a lot of different things, for instance... megarob and ports at 32760 instead of 65530. http://www.tw-cabal.com For more specific mathy differences. _________________ May the unholy fires of corbomite ignite deep within the depths of your soul... 1.

MBBS refers to Major BBS compatibility. the MBBS version of TW (from ages ago) had a 'bug' that was so popular that that it became part of the game - megarob. basically, once you have invested more than ~3.31 mil creds on a port, you can rob it with 0% chance of being busted. MBBS means more than just legalized megarobs.
portmax 32760 rob factor 50% steal factor 70% mbbs style combat penalty thats all i can think of off the top of my head. personally, i prefer mbbs-style games because i think megarob gives reds something to look forward to, freeing them up to perform a variety of other roles. _________________ twgs : telnet://twgs.thereverend.org:5023 web : http://www.thereverend.org games : http://www.thestardock.com/twgssearch/i ... verend.org helper : http://svn.thereverend.org:8080/revhelper/ |
