PVE:

Science & Industry:

  • The Facilities tab of the Industry window no longer shows accessible facilities in other wormhole systems in the same region.

Starbases & Deployables:

  • Adding details of the Athanor's docking restrictions to their show info windows.
  • Fixed an issue where text entered in a Upwell Structure's bio when it is deployed would not be saved.

Technical:

  • If a client does not successfully establish a connection to the solar system node when jumping to a new system within a certain time limit, the server eventually triggers an emergency-warp and will hide the ship from space (in same manner as a normal log off). This could lead to ships loaded without skills, and ships not dying correctly in high load situations. Changed behaviour: This time limit has been doubled, and the server will now disconnect the client when the ship is hidden, instead of leaving it in a half-connected, desynchronised state.

Text & Descriptions:

  • Fixed various minor grammatical, punctuation and formatting issues.
  • Removed references to structure vulnerability timers from the structure unanchoring notifications.
