== Patch Notes for 2025-07-17.1 == | |||
=== Features & Changes === | |||
=== Balancing === | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Fewer proximity mines will now spawn within AEGIS Capital Ship Security Facility sites on average.}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Ghost Sites have had a number of updates: | |||
** NPC guards will now take longer to arrive on average. | |||
** The variance in NPC guard arrival times has been decreased significantly. | |||
** The time between NPC guard arrival and container detonation is now always 30 seconds. | |||
** Added info Panel objectives to show hacking progress and time-to-detonation on NPC guard arrival.}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|The chance for players to receive capital control items has been increased in Lesser and Standard Covert Research Sites (Ghost Sites).}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Dented Storage Depots found in Sleeper Cache exploration sites now have a very rare chance to drop capital control items.}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|The volume of the Counter-Subversion Sensor Array item has been lowered from 20m3 to 2m3.}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|The volume of the Nanoscale Filter Plate item has been lowered from 5m3 to 1m3.}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|The Overmind Nursery Nest Wreck found in Pochven no longer drops Enhanced Electro-Neural Signallers when salvaged, and now drops red loot instead.}} | |||
''As we look to alleviate bottlenecks which currently affect capital and supercapital industry, we are updating exploration sites which drop these industry's components. The aim of these changes is to make such sites more accessible and consistent for players.'' | |||
''Additionally, we have also rebalanced the drop chances and amounts of these items. We will continue to monitor the impact of these changes and respond with any other changes that may be necessary. Additionally, Enhanced Electro-Neural Signallers have been removed from Overmind Nursery Groves sites within Pochven and replaced with red loot of equivalent value. This component can still be found in other sites.'' | |||
''Lastly, as exploration activities thrive on jackpot-moments, we have added capital and supercapital components as rare bonus loot in all sleeper caches!'' | |||
=== Freelance Jobs === | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Deliver Jobs now include a warning if the job issuer is asking for a delivery in a location you can't dock at.}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|Deliver Jobs now include a comparison between the set reward price per delivered item and the average universal price.}} | |||
=== Science & Industry === | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|The SCC charge for research jobs is now 50% of the baseline SCC charge. | |||
** This means that, instead of the 4% SCC charge, research jobs will now cost 2% SCC charge.}} | |||
''We're making an adjustment to the SCC tax specifically for blueprint research jobs to help new industrialists catch up to existing ones that already have fully researched blueprints.'' | |||
