[Content Changes]

[Lieutenant Barbarossa Bane]

• Separated Barbarossa into Roamer and Tracker spawners:
  • Allowed the boss and its minions to have augs and mods.
  • Reduced the damage and tankiness of the tracker.
  • Made its minions less dangerous, but required them to be killed before Barbarossa can die.
  • Gave Barbarossa a projectile weapon.
• Barbarossa no longer spawns automatically and will only spawn if enough tracker versions are killed after it is ready.
• Updated Barbarossa’s Temporal Keycard mission to start after players have completed the initial Undercover Red Rogue mission.
• Added a notification mission for the Barbarossa roamer so players can be informed about when he is going to spawn.
• Added mission-filtered Barbarossa hunt notifications that update on cooldown, tracker, spawn, engage, death, and despawn milestones.
• All Barbarossa hunt states now update the same notification title and display the remaining respawn timer when applicable.
• Reduced the range and tracking of Barbarossa’s Laser and increased the range of Barbarossa’s Blasters.
• Added the Barbarossa world boss to Kalthi Depths’ wild spawns.
• Repeated Barbarossa hunt-ended notifications during the respawn cooldown so players who have the monitoring mission know it was killed recently even if they weren’t online for it.
• Changed Barbarossa’s tracker to Exalted from Legendary.
• Updated the superitem on the Red Rogue Interceptor spawned by Barbarossa so that it micro-warps to attack the target before using its side beams. This is a buff to the Red Rogue Interceptors.
• The A Disturbance mission is no longer weekly.

[Paxian Foothold]

• Changed Paxian Foothold trackers to require Obscure Pirate Crests, Kalthi Depths Wreckage, and Paxian Peacekeeper’s Signaculum to acquire trackers. Adjusted the other costs of trackers as a result.
• The Temporal Shenanigans mission requires fewer Redbeard kills and less Damaged Peacekeeper Technology.

[Protoplasmica (in next universe)]

• Fixed and updated the Protoplasmica zone:
  • Consolidated Doc Goblin and Nurse Orc into a single fight in Biopsy in Protoplasmica, cutting out all of the rooms afterward. They now use a wave spawner.
  • Biopsy in Protoplasmica has received a visual overhaul with a more prominent colored backdrop, large numbers of asteroids and wreckages, a collection of butchered shipwrecks, and what remains of Marie’s mother.
  • The Protoplasmica mission chain has been fixed and is available once more. The third of four missions has been removed, with the objectives updated to conform to the new wave spawner in Biopsy.
  • Any of the missions in the Protoplasmica mission chain can now be started upon entering the Protoplasmica entrance gal. They can also be found in Glass Matrix at one of the two center stations.

[Miscellaneous Content]

• The Subspace “Squadron 492″ ship wreckages found in LACS S1864 now have Homing Beacons equipped to help find them.

[Bug Fixes]

• Fixed an issue with Sterwyn Aervin not counting its subspawns properly.
• The Shield Projection stat on aura generators now only physically works if the item has idled recently. This should have no actual impact on gameplay except for expired drones using one, like Bubble Drone types.
