  • All Subspace gals will now have Aveksaka AI in them, with only a few exceptions such as the Paksapata graveyards. The majority will now try to fight together and all of them will no longer roam (some may still jump away when injured!).
  • A variety of Hatchery Guardian and Stronghold Guardian pillboxes have been deployed, found farther into Subspace regions.
• The Aveksaka will now spawn in set level ranges varying per region, with farther gals having overall higher level enemies which raises their stats:
  • The Ekam AI have gone from a static level ~250 to ~100-275.
  • The Dve AI have gone from a static level ~500 to ~225-400.
  • The Tra AI have gone from a static level ~750 to ~350-525.
  • The Katur AI have gone from a static level ~1,000 to ~500-1,000.
  • The Pajca AI have gone from a static level ~1,750 to ~1,000-1,750.
  • The Sas AI have gone from a static level ~2,000 to ~1,500-3,000.
• Set Aveksaka in Subspace to attack players regardless of level difference, from previous up to 4x higher level than them.
• Roaming Aveksaka will now use the singular ‘Aveksaka’ team instead of a variety of subteams per-region.
• Roaming Aveksaka respawn times standardized across regions.
• Global experience boosts can be found in Subspace now, with one per region. They can spawn at any danger factor outside of protected gals.
• Alien Defense Alliance now protects LACS S1969 in the Dve region of Subspace.
• Alien Defense Alliance now protects LACS S1986 and LACS S2637 in the Tra region of Subspace. The asteroids in LACS S2637 will no longer spawn Aveksaka ambushers.
• Renamed the Aveksaka AI in LACS S8472 to ‘Deceased Aveksaka’ to better communicate why it doesn’t fight back. Reduced its experience given from 0.1x to 0x and removed its Alien Husk Fragments drop.
• Kumari is now owned and protected by the Alien Defense Alliance team.
• Removed LACS S230 from the Dve region of Subspace. The mission ‘Testing the Hypothesis’ asks the player to scan three Subspace Anomalies in different gals, LACS S230 was one of these and has had its mission goal given to the previous mission location LACS S190 which spawns closer to the hub.
• Updated the pillboxes used by Subspace Sas invasion outposts. They are now named Outpost Guardians and they use randomization on their spawn positions and their count has been increased from 2 to 5 per outpost (each is its own spawner with its own limited respawns). Their size has also been decreased from 200 to 125 to bring it in-line with the guardian drones from other regions which have been brought back in the form of non-invasion assets to help the Aveksaka in deeper parts of Subspace.
• Subspace Sas invasion AI now use spawn/despawn effects.
• Subspace Sas invasion outposts will now respawn their garrison much quicker, from 30 seconds (give or take 3) to 20 seconds (give or take 10). Their pillboxes, now named Outpost Guardians, have had their respawn time reduced from 300 seconds (give or take 30) to 20 seconds (give or take 10). All of these spawners retain their current limited spawn counts preventing infinite respawning, this change better allows them to deploy their reinforcements before the outpost is killed.
• Fixed LACS S1018 wormhole names being misleading.

[Subspace Missions and Rewards]

• Allied Front now offers 10 Honorary Diplomas per Gurujana Remains sold from the prior 1.
• Allied Front now offers 15 Paxian Medallions per Gurujana Remains sold.
• Subspace dailies have had their Allied Commendation rewards boosted from 1 to 3 per daily completion.
• Subspace Pajca monthly has had its Allied Commendation reward boosted from 10 to 15 per monthly completion.
• The Subspace monthly missions have had their kill requirements reduced from 200 Aveksaka to 100. Starting in the Tra region, an additional kill requirement of 5 Hatchery Guardian drones has been added. Pajca exclusively has an extra kill requirement of 3 Stronghold Guardian drones added. The mission summaries have been updated to inform what Danger Factors these drones can be found in.
• The Ekam region mission ‘Into the Breach’ no longer requires killing three Aveksaka spawning specifically in LACS S1597, instead it can be completed by killing any five roaming Aveksaka.
• The mission ‘Organic Parasite Research’, a Lyceum daily in Allied Front of Subspace, has had its items updated:
  • The commodities have been converted from decayable commodities to mission items that will decay if the item-holder doesn’t have the required mission.
  • The mission items have been reduced from 1 size to 0, and two have had their weight increased from 5 to 50,000 (the third has 5 million weight).
  • The spitter aliens will now start the fight with their spitter superitems already charged, which is what is used to inject the mission items. Their charge time was also reduced from 30 seconds to 12 to help reduce wasted time when they miss or multiple are required for a squad.
  • The spitter aliens will now fire it when below 95% shields remaining instead of 15% shields remaining. The mission summary has been updated to inform players that they must injure the Aveksaka to get them to inject the mission items.
• When sufficiently injured, Antu and Vazi Aveksaka now have an initial two-second delay before transforming into their cocoon states with an additional blood explosion effect to show the impending transformation before it happens.
• Fixed several Subspace mission summaries.

[Drones]

• Drones with overrides now correctly display their shield bank, shield regeneration, energy bank, and energy regeneration.

[Experience and Construction Standardization]

• Explicit levels have been assigned to nearly 200 dungeon bosses and more than 90 named lockout bosses.
• Boss levels now better correspond to their content tier and expected experience range.
• Named bosses now have quality values based on the highest-quality standard equipment they can drop.
• Experience multipliers have been updated by quality. Players below the level of a boss with a quality rating will receive substantially more experience. Players significantly above a boss’s level will see a much smaller increase, and because many bosses have also had their levels reduced, players who substantially outlevel a content tier will receive less experience from it.
• Blueprint construction times have been standardized across more than 600 blueprints using new 10-minute, 4-hour, 12-hour, and 36-hour build-time tiers.
  • Most affected blueprints now build faster, although some high-tech Empyreal and Aurora blueprints have increased build times. Associated module build times have generally been reduced.

• Added missions for Paracausally Attuned Temporal Trackers and Temporally Attuned Keycards.
• Added Lieutenant Barbarossa Bane as a tracker and roaming boss encounter.

[Celestial Encampment]

• Adjusted the Crescent Augmenter and Heavenly Foresight Augmenter.

• Empyreal Steel Blueprints now require Urk’ Qokujiii Qa’ik instead of Urk’ Ukukuu Qu.

[Nexus and Early-Game Missions]

[Highlighted Changes]

[Neuroforge]

• Added the Turboforge feature to Neuroforging.
  • Using the Turboforge feature, you can spend Bindomite during the process of Neuroforging to add xtraForge levels to every available Neuroforge roll option before you choose an option.
  • There is a maximum amount of additional forges you can add, costing different amounts of Bindomite depending on the quality of the item.
  • For example, if you were attempting to Neuroforge an Exotic item which would normally only allow 1 choice, using 10 Bindomite up to a maximum of 4 times will allow you to Neuroforge a total of 5 times with only a single item consumed, greatly increasing the mileage of a single item copy!
  • Exalted and Legendary items retain their base 2 Neuroforge attempts.
  • Turboforges are only available for 48 hours after a Neuroforge is performed. If you save your Neuroforge roll and want to Turboforge it, make sure to do so before the timer expires.
• Sterwyn Aervin now has a chance to directly drop a Legendary Bindobooster!
  • Legendary Bindoboosters can be used on any item that can be neuroforged in place of an item copy.
  • Legendary Bindoboosters decay on universe reset.
  • Legendary bindoboosters will only be available from the current hardest boss. When a new boss comes out, the Bindobooster drop may move to it if it is more difficult than the previous hardest boss.

[Magcannon Changes]

• The Overlord, a more powerful Nephil found in dungeons, has had some changes made to both difficulty versions of its spawners:
  • The lower difficulty spawners will receive -50% Shield Max and Damage and -34% Knockback. They will remain limited to a spawncap of 4 per room and have been reduced from level 850 to 750.
  • The higher difficulty spawners will receive -34% Shield Max and Damage.
• Micron changes with new universe:
  • Micron race track separated into multiple gals to make it easier and clearer to go through.
  • Race track no longer allows bots or warp beacons to be deployed.
  • Wormholes and keysync spawn positions can no longer be obstructed by gremlin drones. If they spawn too close, they will be destroyed automatically.
  • Keysync spawn position is now marked by a targetable nebula and the debris is named as what it is. Respawn time reduced to 1 second.
• Barbe Rouge is now a rift boss, with the rift wormhole starting with the second of three gals in Tortuga.
• Tortuga’s wormhole to Barbe Rouge’s Antechamber has been moved to the east and is now guarded by two Stalker ambushers who must be killed to unlock the wormhole forward.
• Removed two of the six Stalkers from Barbe Rouge’s Antechamber, these were aura-only without weapons and didn’t fit in with the more modern wormhole unlock system of killing AI to unlock.
• The three Cruiser AI in Barbe Rouge’s Hideout will no longer respawn.
• Topaz Eye Jimmy and Barbe Bleu bosses in Blue Outpost have been moved into rifts.
• Updated wormhole sizes throughout the Serengeti to match normal sizes.
• Removed old debris spawners from the Serengeti zone entrance as their Neural Keysyncs are no longer required to progress.
• Lord Mulligan in both Earthforce Space and Perilous Space will now:
  • No longer attack other AI, nor any of its spawns will either. They will now especially hate the player that killed the original Zebucart.
  • Better disguise themselves as normal Zebucart traders. The biggest change is their ‘Martyr’ Zebucart that spawns them and can now use the Zebucart Mark 2 skin.
  • The Zebucart ‘martyr’ that spawns Lord Mulligan has been set to be immune to Radiation Damage to prevent Lord Mulligan from failing to spawn upon the ‘martyr’s’ death.
  • Always spawn up to 10 Zebu Scouts instead of a maximum of 1 under certain conditions.
  • No longer spam the Advanced Blockade and Swifty-Spry Onslaught superitems throughout the fight, instead only using them during its intended phases.
  • Function properly after respawning from its first death.
  • Despawn after 25 minutes.
  • Respawn significantly faster.
  • Roam properly at the same Danger Factor range as the Zebucart ‘martyr’ they spawn from, previously they were only able to jump to a new gal if it was Danger Factor 300.
  • Spawn waves of Zebuceptors and Zebucops.
  • Space out its spawned minions, as well as spawn from afar when the Zebucart ‘martyr’ is killed.
  • Lord Mulligan and its minions will now use spawn/despawn effects.
  • Only spawn Zebu Scouts when no enemy players are in the gal.
• Two of the Angry Seraph AI in Penance of Absolution have been converted into Amnesty AI, which are upgraded Absolution AI used as guards for Cardinal Bellarmine.
• The wormhole to Judgement from Penance now requires killing at least three guards to progress, from its original requirement of a Gabriel’s Neurolich commodity as a key.
• The wormhole to Penance from Absolution now spawns two Angry Seraph AI as ambushers to kill to progress, from its original requirement of a Solar Cleansings commodity as a key.
• The Subspace Anomalies in LACS S1018 and LACS S1138 can no longer be clipped through, ships will now travel over them properly.
• Anatolia now additionally stuns any ships that leave the center, at the same range as the Shield Charge debuff and environmental damage effects.
• Fixed Ancient Asteroid Being giving a 24 hour lockout starting upon the time of kill instead of being part of the fixed 24 hour reset timer.
• Asteroid drops throughout Prism Empires have been removed save for anything useful or specially designed for fights.
• Fire Opal missile crates from Orange and Purple Empire in Prism Empires are now more consistent to acquire from wreckages, instead of half the wreckages giving Metals or Silicon instead.

• Cybernetic Gonzales now shouts the name of the target that killed her.

[Content Changes]

[Earthforce Space]

• Fixed Goblin Controller mission item dropping from Doc Goblin in Protoplasmica, which would get immediately deleted as it isn’t intended to drop and is not used for anything.
• Halved the distances, spawn trigger radii, aura ranges, and visual effect sizes of most things inside of the Serengeti’s miniboss rooms.
• The Great Rift star in Great Rift Valley before the Lion boss room will no longer inflict -10%/-25%/-50% speed to all nearby ships. This also means the Lions will no longer be slowed by it either.
• Reduced Micron race count to train Engines to 20 from five races to one. A new repeatable practice race has been added for the ability to improve one’s best time at Micron.
• Micron no longer requires a key to access the blue race track.
• Standardized Serengeti Giant Space Alien ambush spawners throughout the rifts for a respawn time of 60 seconds and updating a few of the rooms to move away from the old-style ‘one per direction’ ambush spawners and instead a single omni-directional ambush spawner.
• Removed unpolished dust cloud visual effect from middle of Zebra boss Prince Ar’hath Rhak’kai’s arena when on Very High graphics settings.
• Doubled the size of the lightning effects in Panther boss Princess Takhagha Rhak’kai’s arena.
• Fixed broken name on one of the Active Volcano AI in Corrupted Guardian’s arena Crater Highland.
• Made the debuff auras in Rhino boss High Vizir Rakhnis Grahad’rhi’s arena visible as purple nebulae. Increased their Shield Recharge and Energy Recharge debuffs from -50 to -500 to make them more impactful with modern player stats and decreased the range of all but the central nebula slightly so their ranges can be consistent with one another for their visual size.
• Asteroid drops throughout the Serengeti have been removed save for anything specially designed for fights.
• Zebra Prince boss arena asteroids with the tweak drop now have a yellow tone and emit particles to mark them out as special.
• Asteroids in the Panther miniboss room have been centered from their north-west spawning area.

[Perilous Space]

• Unstable Hephaestus Drones have been standardized from 2 minutes to 3 minutes for lifespan.

[Kalthi Depths]

• Fixed all wild Kalthi not spawned by Kalthi (Armored/Wrathful) Commanders not giving experience when killed.
• Asteroid drops throughout the Twisted zone have been removed save for anything specially designed for fights.
• Optimized Twisted asteroids to have 1/8th as many particles as they previously had, which will also prevent them from occasionally ‘running out’ of particle budget and losing their trails intermittently.
• Twisted Nikola drones have been standardized from 30 minutes to 3 minutes for lifespan.
• Twisted Nikola now has a new set of four “Scavenged” drones that can be obtained instead of his drones from the arena’s asteroids, being identical to the original Twisted drones but having 1/4th the energy cost and as before being unscoopable and decaying upon jumping out. This change will also allow the drones to better remain in-line over time as the original nikola drones were very different from the player-obtainable versions.
• Twisted Nikola’s new “Scavenged” drones can drop 1-3 per asteroid instead of only 1, and each of the four drone asteroids has 7.5x greater chance to spawn than before.
• Twisted Nikola’s new “Scavenged” drone asteroids have lightning effects around them and a trail of smoke to better help them stand out as something of interest.
• Twisted Nikola drone asteroids now have appropriate sizes for their drone visuals/drops.

[Subspace Dimension]

• The Bila Akara Subspace rift for Engine 22 boss Adhara Akara has had its environmental damage effects restored for the two miniboss rooms. The first wormhole you enter through will now properly give heat resistance as well, protecting you if the rift has been open for more than a few moments and the mobile wormholes inside have already flown off.
• Zarkara Adhara (Equipment 22) will now directly drop the Hantr Psu, Raurava Bhava, and Zarkara Sattva augmenters currently at a 33.3% chance for one augmenter to be picked to drop.
  • The minibosses will no longer drop the augmenters. To compensate for the augmenter removal, Hantr and Raurava have been given overall shield and damage buffs to increase their difficulty and better match Zarkara.
  • This removes the incentive to use surgical damage or train the piracy skill to increase your odds for these boss drops, which optimally would have been slightly less than the new chances, as well as removing the need to lock players out for killing the minibosses. The Zarkara Sattva augmenter was also broken and not dropping for a long time now, this fixes it as well.
  • Removed Radar boss’s missile launchers from dropping from the Equipment boss, replaced with the augmenters.
• The following missions in Subspace have had level or difficulty changes (the missions will be offered at more appropriate levels now, difficulty is the max level you can be before you receive reduced experience rewards):
  • Lyceum mission chain had its max level of 9999 removed.
  • Report to the Allied Front has had its minimum level boosted from 500 to 1500.
  • Equipment 22 for the boss kill was mistakenly set to difficulty 1000 instead of 2000, fixed to give the same amount of experience as the rest.
  • Bhinna Avapata mission chain with the UrQa changed from minimum level 1000 and difficulty 1500 to 1500 and 2000 respectively.
  • The Allied Offensive changed from minimum level 500 and difficulty 2000 to 1500 and 3000 respectively.
  • Pajca Allied Defense Orders changed from minimum level 1000 and difficulty 1500 to 1500 and 2000 respectively.
• Subspace DNA Extraction Beams have been increased from extracting 4 DNA per alien to 5. This brings the required number of AI to extract DNA from to build a fully grown Aveksaka ship from 13 Sahvitra eggs, 7 nascent forms, and 7 adult forms down to 10 Sahvitra eggs, 5 nascent forms, and 5 adult forms.
• Subspace DNA Extraction Beams no longer automatically shut off until all five DNA has been extracted from a valid target, at which point it will immediately deactivate and inform the user that the target has had all DNA successfully extracted.
• Subspace DNA Extraction Beams will now immediately deactivate and warn the user if any validity checks fail, and in a specific order to be more helpful:
  • If the target is valid for tractoring but is not a ship: “DNA extraction beams can only be used on alien ships.”
  • If the target is a valid alien ship but is player-owned: “You can only use this DNA extraction beam on non-player-owned ships.”
  • If the target is otherwise an invalid ship: “Invalid hull type for DNA extraction, valid aliens can be found in the Pajca and Sas regions of the Subspace Dimension.”
  • If the target has no DNA remaining: “This alien has already had its DNA extracted.”
  • If the user has no free hull space: “Insufficient hull space to extract DNA from this alien.”
• Janayitriadhara (Tractoring 22) will now despawn all bombs when vulnerable at the end of the fight, and cannot be killed until they’ve been despawned. This should prevent any remaining cases of bombs killing the boss and denying players the kill credit (meaning no loot dropped).
• Fixed Janayitriadhara’s (Tractoring 22) damage and rate of fire being low, increased the shields on the Paxian Bombs to compensate.
• Reduced Janayitriadhara’s (Tractoring 22) shielding by 2/3rds, making the fight significantly faster.
• Removed startup from the music in Janayitriadhara (Tractoring 22) arena, as there’s no miniboss rooms to go through prior.
• Halaraksa Chid Adiz Mardana Var drones from DD22 Subspace boss have been standardized from 25 minutes to 3 minutes for lifespan.

[Red Outpost]

• Sterwyn Aervin’s Legendary item drops now have individual chances to drop, meaning it is possible for more than one to drop and players have more chances to obtain an item.
• Red Rogue Reavers and Carmine have had a visual added to their barrage attack to help players better see the incoming attack under chaotic conditions.

[Misc. Content Changes]

• Neurobound Exotic Celestial Gear no longer requires modules.
• The following AI-only debuff effects have been converted from negative Shield Bank to positive Vulnerability to All:
  • -10% Shield Bank to +10% Vulnerability to All for roaming Pax Astronomica AI, Barbe Noire, Captain Albatross, Captain Bartholomew Roberts, Dark Curse, Nathaniel Courthope, Sputty Nutty, and Vigilante.
  • -20% to -60% Shield Bank to +20% to +60% Vulnerability to All for the six roaming Earthforce capital ship AI from Frigate to Dreadnought.
  • -20%/-70% Shield Bank to +20%/+70% Vulnerability to All for Brute Force depending on distance.
  • -25% Shield Bank to +25% Vulnerability to All for Doom Guard.
  • -25%/-40% Shield Bank to +25%/+40% Vulnerability to All for Dark Doom Guard depending on distance.

• Reduced Janayitriadhara’s (Tractoring 22) shielding by 2/3rds, making the fight significantly faster.
