Space

• Fixed an issue where players were unable to move furniture up and down inside the Y-8 Mining Ship. Please feel free to decorate your mining vessels.
  
• Increased the amount of resources given per asteroid chunk absorbed during space mining. It is now 40 units for pieces gathered with the tractor beam and 20 units for destroyed pieces.
  
• Added two new front mounted turrets to the Y8 to improve its effectiveness. Now 5 people, including the pilot, can take control of the weapons on the Y8 for exciting mining and fighting action.

Multiplayer Ship Component Changes

• To make multiplayer ships more formidable, major Elite component changes have been made. These changes will affect newly created Elite components.
  
• All component and armor hitpoints on Elite components have been boosted to three times their previous values.
  
• All asteroid resource requirements in Elite components have been halved from 1250 to 625.
  
• Elite Booster speed and energy values have been increased.
  
• Elite Boosters now take Liquid Petrochemical Fuel like other booster components. This fixes an issue with asteroid resources not providing all the required resource stats for these components.
  
• Elite Capacitor energy and recharge values have been increased.
  
• Elite Engine YPR (Yaw, Pitch and Roll) has been increased, giving multiplayer ships greater mobility through their engines.
  
• Elite Engines now take radioactive ore instead of aluminum, like other engine components. This fixes an issue with asteroid resources not providing all the required resource stats for these components.
  
• Elite Reactor generation rates have been increased.
  
• Elite Shields have had their shield points increased significantly in front and back, as well as their recharge rate.
  
• Elite Gauss Cannon, Null Bolt, and Railguns have all had their damage increased.
