    Feedback on the music:
    Hi, love the game! I have noticed that the music feels a bit dreary and sometimes I accredit it for making me fall asleep. I think it would be pretty interesting if there was different sound tracks for different planets and perhaps the music could be incorporated as part of an alien planet, but have most of the music a little more positive sounding. I love the sci-fi in-space kind of feel, but I think it would be better to make the music more 'user-friendly' in some way.

    The many minor keys in the composition seem to feel dreary and depressing for me and I often find myself turning it off and replacing it with something more cheerful or constructive, but still 'spacey' and sci-fi.

    I love the game itself though! Thanks guys :)

    Sounds nice, thanks. Just keep in mind that this is the wrong thread ;)
    Better here

    Thats a good idea.. just wondering if that would lead to a flood of data slowing everything down...

    Possibly. It would be the first API request that would be potential for high request. Might be good to see how well the system can handle it.

    Looking at the Mif.dll in 6.0 experimental, it doesn't appear they've changed anything yet.

    Hey, thats right. They are still on the game-stuff but before Alpha 6 we will go through some important changes, to make the API the only needed way to communicate to the server and some other goodies ;).

    Are we going to get some of the changes before 6.0 is released?

    Sure. The plan is to change the API before 6.0 again.

    Changes to the API 6.0 might start next week. :)

    If you want to test your API for 6.0, keep in mind to replace the Mif.dll in the dependencies folder with the one that the 6.0 Game gives you (...\Empyrion - Dedicated Server\EmpyrionDedicated_Data\Managed\Mif.dll)

    The Mif.dll in the sample GitHub will not be updated until the full 6.0 release.

    Can we have PlayerInfo updated to include the player's admin level? There is no way to tell if a player is regular or admin.

    You can, but it does not include players that have been elevated with the "setrole" command.

    The AdminConfig.yaml contains those players. Thats how our tool does it at the moment.

    Look at that! Some reason, I had the impression it wasn't updating the AdminConfig.yaml.

    It will still be a bit of an issue if the multiple DLL issue in the folder is not addressed.

    It appears the new APIs were not released. The Mif is still the same as the previous version.
