+ The acquisition of Industrial XYZ Augmenters, Base Gear and Station Kits has been adjusted as follows:
++ The build costs of Y and Z Gear/Augmenters/Kits has been increased substantially to account for the fact that you are no longer required to build the previous tier in order to unlock a single use blueprint of a higher tier. In addition, the maximum workforce has been removed and replaced with significantly higher manhour requirements. This means that better production bases will be able to build this gear at a faster rate.
++ As a result of the replacement of the system where X blueprints produced the equivalent X Gear/Augmenter/Kit and a Y blueprint, which in turn produced the equivalent Y Gear/Augmenter/Kit and a Z blueprint, there are now research blueprints. The X blueprint can be found in The Acropolis, in the Industrial Station Gear X Blueprint Pack. Researching and unlocking Y and Z gear will still take 2/4 weeks without any build time modifiers, but you can build more than one research blueprint at a time and sell them to those who are not able to build them as quickly.

* All heat MagCannons and PulseGuns now inflict fire damage
* Improved the description of parasite damage on weapons

Many higher tech ones gained bullet speed and tracking. Many MagCannons gained extra range. Bursts converted to PulseGuns. “Normal” PulseGuns and MagCannons gained approximately 35% extra DPS. Some, like Venusian Jackhammer, are slightly weaker. Standardized and balanced the various weapon impact effects and categorized all MagCannons and PulseGuns with impact effects into the new types. Standardized and balanced the various mass properties and styles of projectiles with momentum impact effects

* Fighters have rarities now. These Rarities determine how many slots they take. Fighters have significantly improved defenses across the board, making them noticeably more resilient. All Fighters now last for 60 seconds, and take significantly less electricity. Fighters themselves are now visually smaller (and in the future they will not display a nameplate). Fighters also take up hull space, but the Fighter Generators take only 10 hull space. Most fighters are no longer neurobound or ship bound, and can be freely transferred.
* Fighters receive 50% of their launchers bonuses from skills instead of 10%.
* Updated skill descriptions for Flight Controller and Advanced Flight controller. Flight Controller now grants player launched fighters 15% Damage per rank. Advanced Flight Controller no longer has +Evasion, instead Evasion is an aura gained from a deployed fighter. (For now, Death of First Born’s have this aura). Fighters with aura’s are offensively weaker than fighters without aura’s. Your bots will no longer benefit from the Flight Controller Sub Skill.
* Drastically changed Fighter bays. Fighter Bays have rarities now. These Rarities determine how many fighters can be controlled/how strong the bonuses are on the fighter bay. They also determine how much time elapses between each fighter launch. No matter the tech level, Common Freighter bays have 4 slots and Common Capital bays have 9 slots. These slot values can be modified by the rarity of the launcher. All fighter bay’s of Uncommon rarity and above have special stats available to them.
* Multiple fighters have Fighter Only Aura’s on them, they state so in their description. These fighters are: Qokuji’qii, Death of First Born Fighter, Space Blue Delta Fighter, Cerberus Fighter, Paxian Peacemaker Fighter, Border Collie Light Fighter.

* Mini Vulcanite Fighters no longer deploy Micro Vulcanite Fighters.

* Var Bhisaj Ekam, Dve, Tra and Katur drones now have significantly more shield regeneration.
* Samgrahaka Akramavar’s are now Exotic, and as such have ~7% more DPS. Range was reduced by 5% due to an oversight that gave them a bit more range than they should have had.
* Samgrahaka Bhivajvar’s are now Exotic. Due to a previous mistake, they were marked Rare but had the DPS of an Uncommon drone. This should result in a ~16% buff to their healing.
* Twisted Extensive Charge Drone’s now have double the range.
* Lowered Mythic Defender’s range by 50%. They had far more HPS than they should have had for their range.
* Mad Kidd and Hybrid Kidd drones now more consistently do the DPS they’re supposed to do. Their DPS was not touched, but the projectiles they used were changed.
* Increased the Radiation Soak of Armada Kidd Drones, removed other soaks.
* Reduced range, increased damage, and lowered the energy on the TBFD 9000 drone. They also take 2000 electricity per second to charge instead of 6000, though they still take 120k electricity in order to be deployed. These drones are significantly more powerful.
* Captain Bling Drone made Uncommon, and Damage reduced by 54%. The drone had more damage than was intended for the range that it has.

This goal DPS will be further modified in-game by drone controllers, skills, and drone ops, as expected.

Server/Client Patch 10.28.2018

* Added more energy bank to dark transport AIs for next uni to make sure they can launch their fighters
* Increased the range, damage, and projectile speed of Super Duper Ice Sludger

- Server Changes -
* Fixed some cases of rubberbanding when max speed was changed and made the speed cheat detection more flexible
* AI’s and combat bots that have less than 10% energy will now only use whatever weapon has the best DPE against their target instead of the weapon with the best DPE of those that can currently hit. If the best DPE weapon can’t currently hit when it’s time to fire again, he will wait until either it can hit, or energy goes back above 10%
* Industrial Commodities will always drop from player and bot ships when they enter stasis
* Implemented “LOCKED” mission mechanic
* Fixed the bug where firing aura in DG boss level can give infinite RoF to said boss
* Cleaned up the /mc dialog a little bit
* Fixed a bug where all the newer suns were doing absurd amounts of damage. Sun damage now 1/10 what it was, but the effective maximum shields for calculating damage has been increased from 10k to 50k. This means it will be roughly half what it was for shields 50k and above, and much less the farther the shield gets below 50k.
* Can now sell any non-commodity item to AI bases. Prices for built items reduced by drastically reducing the value from common commodities. “Scrap” value from AI bases reduced on expensive things with a 1 bil cap. Station Extension Y’s can be sold again, but only for 20k instead of 100k.
* Added the ability for field generators to optionally work only out of combat.
* Changed “Stay Close” slave order to “V Formation”. Bots will fly in V formation with you. If they are set to fight, they will fight from your side, shooting whatever they can shoot, unless you have “attack my target”, in which case they will still stay there but always try to attack your target above all else. Bots who are correctly in their place in the V formation gain the ability to slowly increase their speed to double maximum, so once you assemble your formation, you can go faster and they will keep up.
* Changed the guard behavior of bots who get a right-click order to guard empty space. They will now sit in that spot and not move as long as they have that order, shooting stuff in place if they are set to fight.
* Fixed a bug in weapon descriptions which incorrectly listed parasite damage as being half what really it is over half the time that it really is.
* AI and bots will now take into consideration parasite damage when choosing which weapon to use
* Fixed the bug with vacuum scoops not vacuuming aug debris
* Fixed the bug with tractor beams not tractoring aug debris when nothing selected
* Trade slaves in V Formation will follow behind master in a line
* Ships in V Formation when their master docks will now circle the base, combat slaves in an outer circle, trade slaves in an inner circle
* V formation AI will now always face and shoot their target if their target is within weapons range and they are within “close distance” (500) of their master rather than trying so hard to stay exactly in formation
* “Attack My Target” combat bots will now not attack things that the master hits with incidental cc damage if master has a different enemy already targeted.
* Const DPS bonuses from either the newish aug stat or the Weaponry skill, will now make healing better by that amount rather than being ignored for healing
* Userbases and drones will now take into account the transference resistances of themselves and their target (if their target is a drone) when making decisions about healing. This fixes two bugs, 1) drones/bases will no longer heal drones/bases with 100% trans resist, and 2) there was a situation where a drone/base with very high trans resist would not heal stuff when it should have because it thought the healing would cost way more shields than it really will.
* Fixed a bug preventing drones from firing missiles
* Gunner slaves will now MF properly
* Added confirmation for abandoning a base.
* Fixed a bug where super items with multifire tag would mistakenly label non-weapon items as happening multiple times
* Made AI using super items where a weapon is the first item actually check if they will hit with it in order to use it, rather than just checking range
