Update Notes: Test Center - November 9, 2004
Version: 104456.105132

Crafting

* Increased crafted engine max speeds
* Moved the All Purpose Ship Repair Kit to the space crafting tool so that it is now experimental
(Master Artisans will be using a space crafting tool? Interesting solution to the schem being stuck in the "generic" crafting tool rather than the weapon/droid/general...)
* Removed conductivity requirement for the Max Speed stat on crafted engines
* Reactors and armor no longer list an energy requirement of 0.

Professions: Shipwright

* Increased possible max armor stats for Mark IV and V Durasteel Plating

Ships

* Increased the mass of some privateer ship chassis, the TIE Oppressor, and the KSE Firespray
* Fixed a bug where large transport ships were not marked as being collidable.
* You can now use "match speed" on enemy ships.
* Slightly increased the xp reward for TIE Aggressors.

(hmm... I'm not sure I want them playing with privateer ships - people LIKE their low-mass Kihraxz's)

Space Loot

* Crafted and looted droid interface stats are now tiered appropriately---low level crafted items have higher command speeds, and high level items have lower command speeds.

I really want to know what the new ships stats are!!!

Anyone know? The test center people are so unhelpful.

Yeah, I saw that. If I had to make a guess that they increased the mass on the Kihraxz, Ixiyen, and possibly the Rihxyrk (although, Id prefer the mass to stay the same and have it have a lower profile and be a little more maneuverable.) The Kihraxz is a no brainer, Im guessing the Ixiyen just so that there is a reason to use it over the Dune Lizard (but I could be wrong).

I dont know, I think the appropriate place to ask this question would be the Test Center forum...seeing as how this is where the change is.

Ok that was funny seriously!!!!

• Fixed a bug that caused ship vendors to not display on the planetary map.

Apparently not. You should see the thread thats going on over at TC now.

I wonder if this is a retroactive change. Would really suck if A) I had to destroy the chassis on my vendor and remake them and B) people who already bought a chassis has to buy a new one for the higher mass.

Hopefully its just a % change across the board. Anyone know?

Uhh, not really. They still have a large list of things that were not fixed in beta that still have not been addressed. Among them the engine stall bug, the invulnerability bug, the interface rearranging bug, the no ship vender catagory on the map vender screen while there is a ship section when registering venders, and a bunch of things in the ground game like factory emails that were broke by JTL in the ground game. This isn't working to improve the game, this is working to fix whats been broken.

YAY!

Hope we see some 90+ engines on the upper tiers. When does this go live?

---

I don't know if we'll be reaching 90 now, but there was a report from one of the shipwrights on TC tonight of a tier 7 crafted engine with a top speed of 80. That's a substantial improvement. Crafted reactors are also better now. I don't remember the stats, but they were far better than any crafted reactor I made in beta and better than the crafted ones I've seen since release.
