[Wild Space]

• Fractured Galaxies

• New Termite System. Each galaxy has its own termite mound spawn rate which has a default rate of 1 spawn per 3 weeks (plus a bit of RNG). The termite mound spawn rate is adjusted according to the following rules:

  1. The galaxy’s spawn rate will be doubled if any of the following events occurs during an infestation: the galaxy becomes unowned, any station enters destroyed or abandoned state during the scout phase (i.e. before full termite waves are being sent), or on at least two occasions a station enters destroyed or abandoned state after the scout stage is concluded.

  2. The galaxy’s spawn rate will be increased by 50% if by the end of the infestation, a station entered a destroyed or abandoned state on exactly one occasion and it was after the scout stage was concluded.

  3. The galaxy’s spawn rate is reduced by 33% (but not below the default rate) if an entire infestation concludes without any of the events listed above.

• Command & Control Station Kits now start with an hour of buffer time instead of 30 minutes before the galaxy will unown without feeding it additional fusions.

• While the End of the Universe is active (last 7 days of universe) ownership within Wild Space can no longer be lost.

• PvP Zone galaxies (no turning off safety lock required / no PvP level limits) will now be displayed with a crossed swords icon on the map.

• Holding the scoop button (or using shift-c) will now only scoop a single drone without interrupting the scooping of other items (so that you will still be able to scoop debris without stopping and restarting scoop).

• You can now use scoop lock (shift+c) or hold c and then target individual drones to scoop multiple in one scooping session.

• Shift-c now locks the scoop for 30 seconds regardless of client focus.

[Skill Changes]

• Updated the description of Red Glow Pill – Red Block Pill now gives -92.5% (from -90%) Vulnerability to All, and prevents you from firing weapons and using items the user for the duration.
