v1.041a, 05/23/00 Ah, I knew there would be problems with this release. Two bugs (0 power and dissapearing parachutes) fixed. Thanks to Articuno!
v1.041, 05/23/00 General clean up and performance improvement (tank falling and AI aiming)
parachutes and falling damage
the power is now restored to the maximum value on a new round (Gravitron's suggestion)
server disconnection now handled properly again
the bug when tanks color matched background exactly should be fixed now
v1.040b 05/14/00 Many server problems fixed (it should really check resolution) Power level is displayed correctly now. Shields were made not 100% effective and more expensive.
v1.039 04/26/00 A couple of bugs introduced by 1.038 fixed (more than 5 players should work fine now)

there is a reason to create an account); resolution is now checked so
people with different resolution can not join the same game
