Just a quick progress report, the new AJAX based combat is coming along nicely with 1200 lines of code and counting. It is by far the most complex script I've had to write as it handles PvP in the wasteland and hive, hunting groups, hunting special NPCs, fighting guards and fighting roaming NPCs. All in one really big script.

Not sure when it's going to be done yet, the back-end is about 80% complete with work on the front end not started yet. Once it's done the Development server will be wiped clean and be coming back online for Avatars to test.

It also incorporates the new method for distributing items and stats to NPCs and the new combat equations that at present increase a players chance to hit from as low as 20% in the current system to an average of about 80% between 2 equally matched opponents. You wanted less randomness in combat, you're about to get it, only testing will decide how well it works.
