This may have been posted, but i just saw it and i thought i'd re-post just to give the rest of you a chance to see it too:
Click here for a full list of updates *posted by TIGGS.
Quests
- Fixed the Y-8 mining Ship Convoy Protection quest. Waypoints, quest ships, and pirates will all appear as they should.
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.

Frankly, i'm more excited about the drain on RE being fixed than the new POB parts. But both are equally awesome. 
Just think, a Y-8 after this patch. One of those shields, +4 elite blasters. If you've got pilots with a good aim in the turrets, imagine the destruction.

I'm looking forward to it. Being killed by a POB ship in pvp would be fun.

Honestly, id love to crew one, in any position. Preferbly gunenr (Cause i think im good at aerial gunnery), but id be content as a flight engineer too. Just being inside one with the hull being pounded and a fight going on, having a job to do to keep the ship afloat is fun to me.
(maybe being a submarine sim fan has something to do with it *rolls eyes* )

If I remember rightly, Darth_Platypus, in the SW forum said these fixes/boosts were coming. With the component boosts, I thought it might be a precursor for Player Controled Cap Ships, because maybe we'll have to provide our own components. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Anyway, while it is fantastic to see us spacers getting some love, we still have a couple things on the wish list, like I was PvPing today in DS, had a really great fight against an Imp in a B-22, and he didn't know the Rebel Station was bugged, he thought it was always that way! Those poor imps, never kill the space station while the rebels are taking out countless SDs...
[Also, insert whine about weapons on the ARC, Krayt, B-22 and X-Wing]
