Hello everyone!

This week we have added all of the features of the new anti-griefing system to the testing branch. The new system consists of a permanent ban list, and a change to the way the crew roles work.

Bans work on both a server level and a crew level. If you are the host, players on your ban list can not join your server (it will be invisible to them).
When joining a crew, the first player that joins becomes the captain. When the next player tries to join, the captain gets a question whether he wants the person to join the crew or not. If the person is on the captain’s ban list, the person is automatically rejected. If the person is on any of the crew member's banned lists, the captain will get a warning message that one of his crew members has banned the person. The captain can then choose to accept or reject the request.

The last safety net is that we have chosen to decouple player roles from the join order. When the game starts, everyone who is not the captain will have the “passenger” role. In this role, they can not interact with any of the controls in the boat, but they can talk, move around and write in the chat. The captain can then choose to promote (or demote) the other crew members as they wish.

Axel has been testing and fixing join/disconnect-in-progress issues, added better console integration and server management settings, and is currently investigating a memory-related issue that can over long periods of time cause a crash. Koji is working on equipment for the radio room.
