- 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
