A couple of interesting developments w.r.t PbP.
Firstly, version 0.36 is on hold as of now.
Secondly, I have been embraced by the CCP team (yay) and hope to remove the rather crappy patchwork that PbP was, and replace it with a smoother and faster functioning codebase built around an
update of CCP 1.61.0005a
This should allow for similar, if not better, functionality. It will also be a lot easier to mod and update as CCP is working towards modding via SDK, so mods based on it will have the inherent compiled code vs. interpreted code speed advantage. Not to mention, the possibility of .ini configerable options, better and more unique scriptable traits ... the list is near endless.
Consequently, PbP will move in a slightly different direction now. It is in no way dead, merely restructuring
Edit: Thanks Ket for pointing me in the right direction
