This new code adds ship cleanup rules that will cleanup ships in an abandoned state after 5 hours. This was already applied in the previous build for stations and major landing zones across Stanton and Pyro. Ballistic Repeater Balance Pass We have done a balance pass on Ballistic Repeater weapons to greatly reduce their damage. Bug Fixes & Technical - Fixed 1 client crash - Fixed 2 server crashes Potential Fix: Players unable to dock using docking collars. This fix is for one of the largest issues we have been seeing with docking. We suspect that there may be more issues, so if you run into anymore please let us know. Potential Fix: Vanduul Stinger fighters appearing as neutral, human-piloted ships instead of hostile Vanduul during the "Welcome to Nyx" mission QV breaker stations. Potential Fix: Missing or incorrect text in the Battaglia dossier, including reputation text for the Recco organization. Potential Fix: Lowered the reputation rank required to unlock higher rated Battaglia Scan Mine missions from Rank 5 to Rank 2. Potential Fix: There's a chance that the blank memory drive will spawn under the floor during the ASD Delving Mission 2. Potential Fix: Extra Plasma Fuel Cell hologram grid appears outside the Fuel Reactor, and the cell cannot be removed once attached during the ASD Delving Mission 3. Potential Fix: Yormandi creatures freezing in place and failing to move after being staggered. Potential Fix: Proximity voice chat failing to take over, and party voice chat dropping, at close range (60m or less). Potential Fix: Vehicle hit marker audio playing inconsistently.
