Miscellaneous

  • Burner Missions can only be completed in Frigate sized ships.
  • Burner Missions pit players against a single extremely difficult frigate NPC. Players are advised to exercise caution when attempting these missions and to only fly what they can afford to lose.

New Eden Store

• A new category has been added to the New Eden Store called "Services" and there you will find two new items available for sale:
  • Pilot's Body Resculpt Certificate can be consumed to enable a one-time full recustomization of your character including facial features and body shape.
  • Multiple Pilot Training Certificate is used similar to a PLEX except it can only be used to enable and extend additional skill training queues on your account.
  • Both items can be traded on the market (can be found under the Pilot's Services category).
  • In order to use one of these items it must be located in your station hangar, then you can activate it either via the right-click menu or by double-clicking the item (note that the item can be used remotely, even while you're undocked).

FIXES:

Audio

• Fixed a missing sound on the warp gates.

Gameplay

• Inventory access to starbase structures was incorrectly denied if the player's ship was within range of the control tower (but not the structure itself) and the tower did not have an active forcefield. The structure should now be correctly accessible if the ship is within the area where the forcefield would be, even when the forcefield is not present.
• Occasionally a static dungeon (such as an Ice Belt or a Sov-upgrade site) would not re-spawn correctly on server startup, and remain missing until after the next downtime. This should now be fixed and all sites should be available according to normal respawn timers.
• Fixed an issue with 'Expel Member' corporation votes, where a corp member would sometimes be missing from the list of available candidates for removal if he owned slightly more shares than the average shareholder. The intended behavior is that a character holding more than the average shareholder (excluding any shares owned by the corp itself) can only be expelled via a vote. Characters with less shares can be kicked normally.
• Replaced Scout Drones certificate with Medium Drones certificate on the Sacrilege.
• Blockade Runners can now access the 'Angel Base' dungeon.
• Stealth Bombers can now access the 'Knife in the Throat' mission dungeon.
• Industrial Command Ships can now access the 'Angel Cartel Occupied Mining Colony' dungeon.
• Microwarp drives can now be used inside the 'Guristas Guerilla Grounds' dungeon.
• An issue where the Bounty Office service was disabled if the Reprocessing Plant service was damaged has been fixed.
• An issue where multiple anomalies could spawn within the same grid has been fixed.
• Fixed an issue preventing fleet members from warping at range to each other, using the radial menu while on the same grid.
• Fixed an issue preventing corporation bills from being pasted into chat.
• Fixed the 'All' overview default tab preset.
• Fixed some stats on the Mackinaw ORE Edition.
• The Prospect Expedition Frigate now leaves behind a wreck when destroyed.

Graphics

• The inventory icon for Women's Rocket dress (green) has been fixed.
• Fixed an issue which prevented tights from being visible in previews.

Localization

• Various layout fixes for Russian client.

Market:

• Separated Warp Scramblers, Warp Disruptors, and Interdiction Sphere Launchers into their own market groups.

Technical

• Fixed an issue with Twitch passwords containing £<>¬

User Interface

• Fixed issue where it would be hard or impossible to set the standings from corporation or alliance to a corporation if the name was long enough to wrap to the next line.
• Fixed issue where expanding calendar events into its own window would fail to load all events.
• Fixed show info issue with formatting of mass for ships. Removed mass from the show info attributes for several item classes where mass has no relevance.
• Changed wording for warning when marked order are modified to rapidly due to capitalization issues.
• Fixed an issue preventing tutorial links from functioning in chat.
• Multiple minor text issues have been fixed.
• Fixed an issue preventing autocomplete and right click paste from functioning in the destination search box.
• Fixed an issue which caused text to sometimes go outside the overview settings window.
• Fixed an issue regarding in-game browser tooltip placement.
• Fixed an issue regarding text placement in collapsed fitting windows.
• Fixed duplicate confirmation when demoting self in a fleet.

• Added corporationName to the employment history of CharacterInfo.
• Fixed the probability field in all IndustryJobs endpoints.
• Added char/Blueprints and corp/Blueprints.

Public CREST

• Added more caching options for internal development of CREST/public CREST. End users should not notice a difference in what they get back but they should get more cache hits going forward. Yay for more cache hits when the data hasn't changed anyways!
