  • Added credit drops to UZ mini ubers.

 

[Missions]

  • Fixed issues with Bule and Vo’kii ship missions start and end points being missing from the Twisted Agent station.
    • This was already pushed in a hotfix.

 

[Universe Changes]

  • Fix to Blue Emperor’s stadium arena exit using a red wormhole visual instead of blue.
  • +Moved Bipolar from DF220 Perilous to DF160 of North Arm of Earthforce Layer.
  • +Locked Iq’Bana to the South Arm of Earthforce Layer.
  • +Removed Ship Tech Upgrades from common AI base tradebays. You can still acquire all of them from Beta Antares.
  • +Converted the Christmas letter turn in to AC turn in at the station in Lapland.
  • +The Z axis values of Enigmatic Sector objects have been set to zero. This will stop ships from flying below the planets and stars in that system.

 

[Typo Fixes]

  • The mission “Marco’s Demise” now correctly states it requires 20 Paxian Pacifier Fighters in its summary in place of the old generator requirement.

 

[System]

  • Added command “/ShowStatSources” to list where the different components of your ship stats come from.
  • Converted /showsquaddamage info to a dialog box.
  • Reduced rank required to abandon your own base in team territory from operator+ to soldier+
  • Removed the concept of galaxies “freezing” when no one is in them for 5 minutes. Instead replaced by a deep sleep state, when in deep sleep objects in the galaxy can still act in a limited fashion, traveling, trading etc will continue working albit much slower than normal. This means bots will no longer end up trapped in DGs because they froze while they were coming out, nor will AI get stuck in a sleeping galaxy while they travel.
  • AI (and by extension combat bots) will now only unpack 1 missile/fighter crate of every type that isn’t already unpacked in its inventory.
  • Fix for destroyed fighters not updating quantity when added to player ship inventory.
  • Added a failsafe to handle cases where an AI drifted too far out and got lost. This will only bring the AI back to the center if there are no players in the galaxy or any galaxies near it, this is not meant to simplify recentering after a failed fight and instead to reduce the likelihood of stumbling into a galaxy with no visible boss because it went too far and never came back.
