Improved appearance of Premium ships Golden Eagle and Mammoth
Nothing can improve space forklifts, sorry.
New active module ‘Spectre’ Field
Creates a field of invisibility for allied ships
The host ship does not become invisible
Affected ships transfer part of their shield charge to the host
The field is identical in properties to the field of the special module ODG ‘Chameleon’
Available to Guard Frigates from Rank 10
Very much NOT like a Guard. I can see a lot of useless pilots just using that to gain some shields and killing their team mates. Godamnit…
Implants
Neuroconnector «Gigas III» 1-14
Now has multiple uses
Reloading time stands at 240 seconds
Neuroconnector «Albatross II» 2-14
Now has multiple uses
Reloading time stands at 240 seconds
Neuroconnector «SR-X» 3-14
Now has multiple uses
Reloading time stands at 240 seconds
Can we get an idea of exactly what’s changed?
Manufacturing
Manufacturing components now contain their usual location information
This information is contained in the tooltip
Finally. I was getting lost trying to find everything I needed. Granted I still need, like, a thousand of everything. How do people already have all 3 ships!?
Crews
Added a tooltip for crews
Did you remember to “cut” the price to Credits, as well?
No, of course not, and now the entire post will be deleted.
Mac OS
Due to OS restrictions, fullscreen mode can no longer be activated in Mac OS X
Fullscreen window mode is still available
Mac OS X versions 10.6.х and lower are no longer supported
Oh, Apple. U so funneh!
Bug fixes
Improved a number of text strings
Fixed incorrect aim behaviour
Fixed crew bugs
Fixed shadow display bug on low graphics settings
Fixed a bug with incorrect Attacked Sectors map display
Fixed a number of battleground bugs
Fixed a bug with Tackler bonuses not affecting guard drones
Fixed ‘Adaptive Shield’
It’s nice to know bugs are eventually fixed, but Adaptive Shield wasn’t broken. Just sayin’…
When are you going to bring back the counter for pilots online ?
Did you take it away to hide the decline in players playing ?
it is still there, look on attacked sectors page. + there are more players now on average
apart from the troll guard module this patch looks nice. only thing I have to say is when the community says the changing stations price is too expensive for new comers / low ranked pilots that doesn’t mean keep the price the same but bump it up to 800k for the r15 pilots XD that is not cheaper!!

WHAT!! 800K!? What are we, made of credits!? Are you serious!? That’s completely ridiculous!!!
Also, epic nerf to the rank 14 implant. 240 sec is 4 minutes so you can only activate it twice in a 8 minute match, and 3 times in a 12 minute match!! Instead of having it available with each fresh ship.
or epic buff? this implant will have more use when staying alive in sec con for example

Well it hurts the new players again. The veterans shouldn’t have a frack to give, 1.6 mil/day to do my dailies is not a problem (even if it sounds like much, it is not when you make 300-400k/battle with nothing to spend the credits on).
The Guard is not invisible (excellent thing I would say)
Yeah it’s in the patch notes. That’s why i said it’s excellent, it works like a “Taunt”, since the enemies won’t have a target for 5 secs they will mostly be forced to attack the guard.

Are you serious? I only play for a couple hours a day, I can’t make that money.

By veteran i mean people that don’t really need ships anymore. I just need crystals and a bit of loyalty maybe, but not even that. You were also saying that you’re making 3 mil in 1 hour in Invasion.
The only problem I see with the new price tag for changing stations is the contracts. Now you need 1.6 million per day just to change contracts.
It is too much.
And the problem is that you can only switch stations for free in rank 10 ships or above, so if you are rank 1 to 9 you have to pay credits no matter what in order to change stations. And I don’t want to know how many are they asking in low tiers, if they ask 800k in rank 15.

Yeah, with dailies and the tasks. Tasks that, might I add are unavailable on Empire/Fed if I start on the Jericho station! I know, I tried to get there. I ended up having to dock just to get the daily AND the tasks available to me. That’s a minimum of half an hour wasted on zero income just trying to get an extra 2-3mill.
Yes, the cash you can make on Invasion is surreal, I had 12mill by the end of… 6-7 hours, just by lollygagging the sandbox and that’s after spending a total of… 3mill to swap stations. To me, that was a healthy alternative to having to waste 2 daily hours just traversing space in order to get to the other stations! I don’t have the time to do that in my life, so I have to do what? Waste MORE GS to get through? Hell no.
The only reason I have to spend money on this game is IFF the game is good. The game isn’t good. The game has not changed a bit in the last 6 months. This game has systematically turned everything into P2GL TO THE EXTREME. While that does tend to be the objective of a F2P game, this is getting extremely out of hand. New pilots will see their lives eased, sure, but as soon as they get to the middle of the game, they hit a gigantic planet-sized wall they can only very slowly traverse. Not only that, the game is being optimized to cater SOLELY the top pilots, those that already have everything. And, to my knowledge, that’s precisely NOT how to do things.
Yep, the new costs are crap for people that need stuff. It would just demotivate me. This is not beta anymore, you can’t just change costs like that, x400%, while the majority of customers seem to feel that the costs are already too high.

Which is like 99.5% of people playing the game. They have made now mk3 and mk4 items luxury ones, because you need to be filthy rich just to switch sides for doing contracts.
The rest of the player base shouldn’t suffer because a 0,5% of the players have enough credits and license and premium ships to keep wasting 1,6 millions per day to do all contracts, or just to do the dailies.

Yep, i agree.
It’s also another decision, 70% of the players probably don’t switch contracts every day since they don’t play more than 2 hours/day. So it doesn’t affect them. It mostly affect people farming the daily crystals tbh. So it’s a choice between crystals and credits now.
