Okay, here is my report, part 2
Still tested on Chrome, version 3.0.195.33.
In both types of games:
*The active booster icon is not properly displayed, and the booster cannot be used, even though I filled my tank with the appropriate fuel.
*After killing a pirate you have targeted, you will still get him on radar. Until he respawns, the distances varies as though he was stationary and it only changes if you move away/nearer, and when he respawns you do not see the target on the mini-map, but you still have him on radar. Not necesserly a bug, just something I noticed.
General Thoughts
* The experience versus time of flight for new ranks seem a bit disbalanced to me, probably because the exp was easy to get in conquer type. After 0,5 hours of flight time, I had 3 medals (on 3 games played) and 500xp and 1 perk, which is more then enough for sergeant, but that rank needs 2 hours. of flight time. If pirates give less points in Pirate type and the over-control of zones is prevented in Conquer type, the xp versus flight time might not be so unbalanced.
~*~
* Once, I did not get back to lobby after the game ended. I saw the game has ended window, with medal, experience gained and back to lobby button, but clicking it did not bring me to lobby. I disappeared from the minimap, it was like I was watching a game played by others.
I think it's because I hit a directional key just as the game ended, so like in golemizer when you change zone on the exact time of death, I was sent to my next coordinate ingame instead of lobby/immig office.

I think that's it... Now, just have to test in IE to see if active booster is displayed :P
Tested in IE 7.0.6001.18000
* Trying to login, I have to click on the top edge of the with text box in order to be able to type my user name. Not dramatic, but enough to be bothersome.
* Active booster Icon is not displayed correctly in IE either, and it's also unusable.
* I do not see the chat zone in IE, so I have no way to know what points I'm getting, or if I've conquerd zones/taken hits/dealt damage etc.
* The bottom part of the control panel seems choped up as though there is something that doesn't show up in IE.
In IE, the cloud in the lower left of lobby, about buying an extra game to a friend, is clean and clear, but text is black.
In chrome, it looks messy and some lines are duplicated, but there is color,
I have Fx 3.0on this comp, the cloud looks the same as in Chrome. It might be nice, clean and in color on Fx3.5 but I'm too lazy to open the other computer to check.
About the ranking, I have reached Airman first Class but I had to play another game after I had 1 hour of flight time to get my new rank, instead of getting it as soon as I hit 1 hour.
It says we need 1 or more, so I'm wondering if I should have gotten it on the mark or if there is a delay.
The last game I played to reach the 1 hour mark, I had trouble in the end. I hit time 0:00 and nothing happened, I couldn't play anymore but I was still in the game. I just closed the window and today when I checked my win was recorded, but my having reached 1 hour of flight and reached a new rank might have been missed.
Today I played a game which brought me to 1,17 hours, and in the end I got a congrats, you've got a new rank message.
In Firefox 3.0 today.
Watching a game Fuji was playing in, I tried to logout. I clicked on the red button, got a prompt asking if I wanted to quit current game, selected yes. Nothing happened.
I waited out the game, nothing happened when the timer hit 0:00.
Closing the window and coming back got me in the Lobby.
About the ranking again.
'Today's best player' is saying my rank is Airman, while it is First Class.
About the ranking (take 2).
Reached 2 hours so I thought I would be promoted, but again I had to play another game to get the rank. Still not sure if that is supposed to be that way.
I had no trouble this time getting back to lobby this time, that was probably my computer being stupid.
About the boosters.
(Tested in Chrome (too lazy to test in several browsers this late at night, sorry.))
* Active booster Pirate Call doesn't take fuel and the icon doesn't display cool down. But, it does work.
If it was supposed to bring to me an untargetted pirate which doesn't attack me, that is. I think he is supposed to attack my target, but said target was on the other side of the map so he roamed around me.
Would be useful if the pirated Called was brought to the target instead of to us? Would allow sneak attacks against players who thought they were safely out of range.
I think the game is pretty much stable in all browsers now. There's still some things like chat won't work in Chrome while in a game but the basics should be "about" the same in all browsers (with some performing better than others).
Still about boosters, in the Altus Store, Passive Boosters, Accuracy.
Level 1 is okay, but other levels say ''cannon damages'' instead of ''cannon accuracy''.
