Lieutenant Barbarossa Bane

Separated Barbarossa into Roamer and Tracker spawners:

Allowed the boss and its minions to have augs and mods.
Reduced the damage and tankiness of the tracker.
Made its minions less dangerous, but required them to be killed before Barbarossa can die.
Gave Barbarossa a projectile weapon.
Barbarossa no longer spawns automatically and will only spawn if enough tracker versions are killed after it is ready.
Updated Barbarossa's Temporal Keycard mission to start after players have completed the initial Undercover Red Rogue mission.
Added a notification mission for the Barbarossa roamer so players can be informed about when he is going to spawn.
Added mission-filtered Barbarossa hunt notifications that update on cooldown, tracker, spawn, engage, death, and despawn milestones.
All Barbarossa hunt states now update the same notification title and display the remaining respawn timer when applicable.
Reduced the range and tracking of Barbarossa's Laser and increased the range of Barbarossa's Blasters.
Added the Barbarossa world boss to Kalthi Depths' wild spawns.
Repeated Barbarossa hunt-ended notifications during the respawn cooldown so players who have the monitoring mission know it was killed recently even if they weren't online for it.
Changed Barbarossa's tracker to Exalted from Legendary.
Updated the superitem on the Red Rogue Interceptor spawned by Barbarossa so that it micro-warps to attack the target before using its side beams. This is a buff to the Red Rogue Interceptors.
The A Disturbance mission is no longer weekly.
Paxian Foothold

Changed Paxian Foothold trackers to require Obscure Pirate Crests, Kalthi Depths Wreckage, and Paxian Peacekeeper's Signaculum to acquire trackers. Adjusted the other costs of trackers as a result.
The Temporal Shenanigans mission requires fewer Redbeard kills and less Damaged Peacekeeper Technology.
Protoplasmica (in next universe)

Fixed and updated the Protoplasmica zone:

Consolidated Doc Goblin and Nurse Orc into a single fight in Biopsy in Protoplasmica, cutting out all of the rooms afterward. They now use a wave spawner.
Biopsy in Protoplasmica has received a visual overhaul with a more prominent colored backdrop, large numbers of asteroids and wreckages, a collection of butchered shipwrecks, and what remains of Marie's mother.
The Protoplasmica mission chain has been fixed and is available once more. The third of four missions has been removed, with the objectives updated to conform to the new wave spawner in Biopsy.
Any of the missions in the Protoplasmica mission chain can now be started upon entering the Protoplasmica entrance gal. They can also be found in Glass Matrix at one of the two center stations.
Miscellaneous Content

The Subspace "Squadron 492" ship wreckages found in LACS S1864 now have Homing Beacons equipped to help find them.
Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue with Sterwyn Aervin not counting its subspawns properly.
The Shield Projection stat on aura generators now only physically works if the item has idled recently. This should have no actual impact on gameplay except for expired drones using one, like Bubble Drone types.

[Emperor Contest Rework]
The Emperor Contest has been rebuilt around control of Midas influence galaxies rather than the previous Anatolian influence drop-off system. If you want to learn more about it, click here.
Midas influence galaxies are now marked on the universe map and generate Influence while controlled.
Teams receive a one-time Imperial Strand reward for being the first to claim an unowned Midas influence galaxy during an active contest.
Emperor standings, station bulletins, server status messages, and the web status page have been updated for the new contest structure.
Emperor standings can now update for docked players without requiring them to redock.
The Anatolian Expanse has been removed.
The station in Anatolia is now always visible.
Fixed typo in Anatolia coronation messages saying the team was 'lead' by instead of 'led' by.
[Anatolian Surges]
Added Anatolian Surges, timed events that deploy special Anatolian forces throughout Perilous Space and Kalthi Depths.
Perilous Space surge enemies can appear throughout Danger Factor 240–380.
Kalthi Depths surge enemies appear at Danger Factor 440 and above.
Stronger surge enemies award more Imperial Strands and Anatolian Crests.
Adjusted Anatolian Crest rewards across all Anatolian forces.
Anatolian enemies no longer award obsolete Influence items.
Anatolian enemies will not attack until provoked and have received offensive or defensive improvements.
Anatolian Crests and Imperial Strands are no longer layerbound, and players can now undock while carrying them.
[Next Universe]
[Subspace Overhaul]
The Aveksaka presence throughout Subspace has been extensively rebuilt.
The Aveksaka have reinforced their claim over Subspace:
All Subspace gals will now have Aveksaka AI in them, with only a few exceptions such as the Paksapata graveyards. The majority will now try to fight together and all of them will no longer roam (some may still jump away when injured!).
A variety of Hatchery Guardian and Stronghold Guardian pillboxes have been deployed, found farther into Subspace regions.
The Aveksaka will now spawn in set level ranges varying per region, with farther gals having overall higher level enemies which raises their stats:
The Ekam AI have gone from a static level ~250 to ~100-275.
The Dve AI have gone from a static level ~500 to ~225-400.
The Tra AI have gone from a static level ~750 to ~350-525.
The Katur AI have gone from a static level ~1,000 to ~500-1,000.
The Pajca AI have gone from a static level ~1,750 to ~1,000-1,750.
The Sas AI have gone from a static level ~2,000 to ~1,500-3,000.
Set Aveksaka in Subspace to attack players regardless of level difference, from previous up to 4x higher level than them.
Roaming Aveksaka will now use the singular 'Aveksaka' team instead of a variety of subteams per-region.
Roaming Aveksaka respawn times standardized across regions.
Global experience boosts can be found in Subspace now, with one per region. They can spawn at any danger factor outside of protected gals.
Alien Defense Alliance now protects LACS S1969 in the Dve region of Subspace.
Alien Defense Alliance now protects LACS S1986 and LACS S2637 in the Tra region of Subspace. The asteroids in LACS S2637 will no longer spawn Aveksaka ambushers.
Renamed the Aveksaka AI in LACS S8472 to 'Deceased Aveksaka' to better communicate why it doesn't fight back. Reduced its experience given from 0.1x to 0x and removed its Alien Husk Fragments drop.
Kumari is now owned and protected by the Alien Defense Alliance team.
Removed LACS S230 from the Dve region of Subspace. The mission 'Testing the Hypothesis' asks the player to scan three Subspace Anomalies in different gals, LACS S230 was one of these and has had its mission goal given to the previous mission location LACS S190 which spawns closer to the hub.
Updated the pillboxes used by Subspace Sas invasion outposts. They are now named Outpost Guardians and they use randomization on their spawn positions and their count has been increased from 2 to 5 per outpost (each is its own spawner with its own limited respawns). Their size has also been decreased from 200 to 125 to bring it in-line with the guardian drones from other regions which have been brought back in the form of non-invasion assets to help the Aveksaka in deeper parts of Subspace.
Subspace Sas invasion AI now use spawn/despawn effects.
Subspace Sas invasion outposts will now respawn their garrison much quicker, from 30 seconds (give or take 3) to 20 seconds (give or take 10). Their pillboxes, now named Outpost Guardians, have had their respawn time reduced from 300 seconds (give or take 30) to 20 seconds (give or take 10). All of these spawners retain their current limited spawn counts preventing infinite respawning, this change better allows them to deploy their reinforcements before the outpost is killed.
Fixed LACS S1018 wormhole names being misleading.
[Subspace Missions and Rewards]
Allied Front now offers 10 Honorary Diplomas per Gurujana Remains sold from the prior 1.
Allied Front now offers 15 Paxian Medallions per Gurujana Remains sold.
Subspace dailies have had their Allied Commendation rewards boosted from 1 to 3 per daily completion.
Subspace Pajca monthly has had its Allied Commendation reward boosted from 10 to 15 per monthly completion.
The Subspace monthly missions have had their kill requirements reduced from 200 Aveksaka to 100. Starting in the Tra region, an additional kill requirement of 5 Hatchery Guardian drones has been added. Pajca exclusively has an extra kill requirement of 3 Stronghold Guardian drones added. The mission summaries have been updated to inform what Danger Factors these drones can be found in.
The Ekam region mission 'Into the Breach' no longer requires killing three Aveksaka spawning specifically in LACS S1597, instead it can be completed by killing any five roaming Aveksaka.
The mission 'Organic Parasite Research', a Lyceum daily in Allied Front of Subspace, has had its items updated:
The commodities have been converted from decayable commodities to mission items that will decay if the item-holder doesn't have the required mission.
The mission items have been reduced from 1 size to 0, and two have had their weight increased from 5 to 50,000 (the third has 5 million weight).
The spitter aliens will now start the fight with their spitter superitems already charged, which is what is used to inject the mission items. Their charge time was also reduced from 30 seconds to 12 to help reduce wasted time when they miss or multiple are required for a squad.
The spitter aliens will now fire it when below 95% shields remaining instead of 15% shields remaining. The mission summary has been updated to inform players that they must injure the Aveksaka to get them to inject the mission items.
When sufficiently injured, Antu and Vazi Aveksaka now have an initial two-second delay before transforming into their cocoon states with an additional blood explosion effect to show the impending transformation before it happens.
Fixed several Subspace mission summaries.
[Drones]
Drones with overrides now correctly display their shield bank, shield regeneration, energy bank, and energy regeneration.
[Experience and Construction Standardization]
Explicit levels have been assigned to nearly 200 dungeon bosses and more than 90 named lockout bosses.
Boss levels now better correspond to their content tier and expected experience range.
Named bosses now have quality values based on the highest-quality standard equipment they can drop.
Experience multipliers have been updated by quality. Players below the level of a boss with a quality rating will receive substantially more experience. Players significantly above a boss's level will see a much smaller increase, and because many bosses have also had their levels reduced, players who substantially outlevel a content tier will receive less experience from it.
Blueprint construction times have been standardized across more than 600 blueprints using new 10-minute, 4-hour, 12-hour, and 36-hour build-time tiers.
Most affected blueprints now build faster, although some high-tech Empyreal and Aurora blueprints have increased build times. Associated module build times have generally been reduced.
[Paxian Foothold and Red Rogue Trackers]
Added missions for Paracausally Attuned Temporal Trackers and Temporally Attuned Keycards.
Added Lieutenant Barbarossa Bane as a tracker and roaming boss encounter.
Red Outpost missions now award troves containing rare loot instead of Obscure Pirate Crests.
Tracker resource requirements will be updated after the universe reset to require Kalthi Depths Wreckage or Obscure Pirate Crests.
Fixed missions requiring Paxian Peacekeeper's Signaculums so that they indicate the proper quantities needed.
[Other Changes]
Removed the pre-determined north-west wormhole position in Paxian Stronghold, all wormholes should now appear in the correct directions for their destinations.
The galaxy, Edge of Reason, has been removed.
Added alternative currency exchanges for the Radiation Cone, Monkey Shield Transference I-III, Monkey De-Puzzeler, Monkey Reformatter, and Monkey Un-Reformatter in Liberty (Radiation Cone also available from Copper as the mission for it ends there).
[Content Changes]
[Kalthi Depths]
Increased the drop chance of non-augmenter loot from Kalthi Depths dungeon bosses.
Added dedicated loot tables for the Masala and Partisan bosses so both of their unique rare rewards can drop correctly.
[Red Outpost]
Dark Earthforce Juggernaut, Scarra, and Carmine Cutter now drop more rare items.
Carmine Cutter now displays an indicator when performing his barrage attack.
Added mission popups in The Fighting Pits stages 1 and 2 for their repeatable reward missions.
Red Outpost rift reward missions no longer require the previous mission required by the squad leader to accept, allowing them to properly popup instead of needing all members to dock and accept them.
Primordial Ship Blueprints now create ship upgrades instead of duplicate ship items.
Dark Earthforce Defense now has less shield regeneration and a larger shield bank.
[Celestial Encampment]
Adjusted the Crescent Augmenter and Heavenly Foresight Augmenter.
Rare Celestial Augmenters purchased with AC are now Exotic and Neurobound, with associated stat adjustments.
Empyreal Steel Blueprints now require Urk' Qokujiii Qa'ik instead of Urk' Ukukuu Qu.
[Nexus and Early-Game Missions]
Reworked the initial Electrical Engineering and Cadet Energy missions:
Electrical Engineering is now trained before purchasing an energy bank.
Players now purchase the Tech 1 Cadet Energy directly instead of purchasing a precursor that is converted afterward.
Improved auto-accept and auto-complete behavior for early Cadet Academy missions.
Mission summaries and descriptions now more clearly separate simplified instructions from full explanations.
Removed experience rewards from rats in Dalawa and the Staging Area to prevent players from bypassing early training missions.
Added directions explaining how to open the mission interface.
Set various content guide entries to require a minimum level of 20 before appearing.
[Miscellaneous Content]
T11–T18 Gate Shields are now Uncommon instead of Common and have had their stats adjusted.
The Adamantium Sheet Smelting Schema now requires Steel Girders instead of Metals.
Updated several Tech 21 module construction costs:
Converted periodic Metal and Nuclear Waste requirements to Industrial Commodities equivalents.
Added missing periodic costs to the Rubicite Matrix Sheath Blueprint.
Corrected Mercurial Docking Clamps Schematic's initial credit cost from 10 million to 100 million.
Moved Ablution Crystals to the initial cost of Range Crystallizer Blueprints and Schematics.
Fixed the Speedy and Spacy augmenters incorrectly inheriting all Dilution tags.
Added effect descriptions to the Harmonic Shield Restoration Device, Support Drone Device, Forward Operating Base Deployment Device, and Combat Focus Defensive Device superitems.
[Item and Balance Changes]
Sterwyn Aervin's Lance now applies its secondary effects to all applicable targets instead of only drones.
Rewired modification can now be applied to Energy-only Capacitors, instead of only Shield and Combined Capacitors.
Fixed enhanced Rewired shields using mirrored energy and shield values instead of their configured values.
Fixed Mzungu Obfuscator mistakenly increasing illumination instead of reducing it.
Fixed shield-stealing weapons charging their electricity cost twice when Multifiring.

Updated AeonLabs extractor blueprints to specify if they build 1 or in packs of 10.
Fixed Rubicite Matrix Sheath and other blueprint cost inconsistencies listed above.
[Server and System Changes]

Fixed several server messages containing misspellings of "character" and "stations."
Fixed the unfueled energy warning to correctly say that production is reduced by 25%, rather than reduced to 25%.
[Client and Interface Changes]
[Interface Scaling]
Added 1×, 2×, and 4× UI scaling options. Available maximum scaling depends on display resolution.

Fixed Transfer Some from TSL to ship not correctly replacing the entered quantity.
Fixed Transfer Type from TSL to ship.
Fixed Transfer All from ship to TSL.
Saved hotbar items now refresh when an item is Neurobound, stripped of modifications, or otherwise changes state.
Fixed hotbars failing to load correctly after entering a new universe or creating a new character.
Fixed hidden confirmation dialogs continuing to react to the Enter key after being closed.

Fixed broken normal map name preventing functionality for the Heaven's Eagle, a skin for the Heaven's Chariot.

[Highlighted Changes]
[Neuroforge]

Added the Turboforge feature to Neuroforging.

Using the Turboforge feature, you can spend Bindomite during the process of Neuroforging to add xtraForge levels to every available Neuroforge roll option before you choose an option.
There is a maximum amount of additional forges you can add, costing different amounts of Bindomite depending on the quality of the item.
For example, if you were attempting to Neuroforge an Exotic item which would normally only allow 1 choice, using 10 Bindomite up to a maximum of 4 times will allow you to Neuroforge a total of 5 times with only a single item consumed, greatly increasing the mileage of a single item copy!
Exalted and Legendary items retain their base 2 Neuroforge attempts.
Turboforges are only available for 48 hours after a Neuroforge is performed. If you save your Neuroforge roll and want to Turboforge it, make sure to do so before the timer expires.
Sterwyn Aervin now has a chance to directly drop a Legendary Bindobooster!

Legendary Bindoboosters can be used on any item that can be neuroforged in place of an item copy.
Legendary Bindoboosters decay on universe reset.
Legendary bindoboosters will only be available from the current hardest boss. When a new boss comes out, the Bindobooster drop may move to it if it is more difficult than the previous hardest boss.
[Magcannon Changes]

All Magcannon weapons have had their stats changed.

Increased damage, weight, size, visibility and energy cost across the board. Details listed below the patch notes
[Solar Panels]

Solar panels now benefit from Energy Charge.
[Next Universe Changes]

Starting next uni C&C will be on permanent tractor disruption when in an unowned galaxy. With a message explaining it when the tractor is attempted.
Fixed Bule Outposts dropping a Bule Mentallity Blueprint which is an item renamer for Bule Mentality Blueprint.
prevent base thrusters from working on ownership kits in unowned galaxies (wont apply till next uni)
Dungeon Shadow Turtles have been updated from level ~420 to 700. Roaming Shadow Turtles are weaker and will remain at their original level. No stat changes were made.
The Overlord, a more powerful Nephil found in dungeons, has had some changes made to both difficulty versions of its spawners:

The lower difficulty spawners will receive -50% Shield Max and Damage and -34% Knockback. They will remain limited to a spawncap of 4 per room and have been reduced from level 850 to 750.
The higher difficulty spawners will receive -34% Shield Max and Damage.
Micron changes with new universe:

Micron race track separated into multiple gals to make it easier and clearer to go through.
Race track no longer allows bots or warp beacons to be deployed.
Wormholes and keysync spawn positions can no longer be obstructed by gremlin drones. If they spawn too close, they will be destroyed automatically.
Keysync spawn position is now marked by a targetable nebula and the debris is named as what it is. Respawn time reduced to 1 second.
Barbe Rouge is now a rift boss, with the rift wormhole starting with the second of three gals in Tortuga.
Tortuga’s wormhole to Barbe Rouge’s Antechamber has been moved to the east and is now guarded by two Stalker ambushers who must be killed to unlock the wormhole forward.
Removed two of the six Stalkers from Barbe Rouge’s Antechamber, these were aura-only without weapons and didn’t fit in with the more modern wormhole unlock system of killing AI to unlock.
The three Cruiser AI in Barbe Rouge’s Hideout will no longer respawn.
Topaz Eye Jimmy and Barbe Bleu bosses in Blue Outpost have been moved into rifts.
Updated wormhole sizes throughout the Serengeti to match normal sizes.
Removed old debris spawners from the Serengeti zone entrance as their Neural Keysyncs are no longer required to progress.
Lord Mulligan in both Earthforce Space and Perilous Space will now:

No longer attack other AI, nor any of its spawns will either. They will now especially hate the player that killed the original Zebucart.
Better disguise themselves as normal Zebucart traders. The biggest change is their 'Martyr' Zebucart that spawns them and can now use the Zebucart Mark 2 skin.
The Zebucart 'martyr' that spawns Lord Mulligan has been set to be immune to Radiation Damage to prevent Lord Mulligan from failing to spawn upon the 'martyr's' death.
Always spawn up to 10 Zebu Scouts instead of a maximum of 1 under certain conditions.
No longer spam the Advanced Blockade and Swifty-Spry Onslaught superitems throughout the fight, instead only using them during its intended phases.
Function properly after respawning from its first death.
Despawn after 25 minutes.
Respawn significantly faster.
Roam properly at the same Danger Factor range as the Zebucart 'martyr' they spawn from, previously they were only able to jump to a new gal if it was Danger Factor 300.
Spawn waves of Zebuceptors and Zebucops.
Space out its spawned minions, as well as spawn from afar when the Zebucart 'martyr' is killed.
Lord Mulligan and its minions will now use spawn/despawn effects.
Only spawn Zebu Scouts when no enemy players are in the gal.
Two of the Angry Seraph AI in Penance of Absolution have been converted into Amnesty AI, which are upgraded Absolution AI used as guards for Cardinal Bellarmine.
The wormhole to Judgement from Penance now requires killing at least three guards to progress, from its original requirement of a Gabriel’s Neurolich commodity as a key.
The wormhole to Penance from Absolution now spawns two Angry Seraph AI as ambushers to kill to progress, from its original requirement of a Solar Cleansings commodity as a key.
The Subspace Anomalies in LACS S1018 and LACS S1138 can no longer be clipped through, ships will now travel over them properly.
Anatolia now additionally stuns any ships that leave the center, at the same range as the Shield Charge debuff and environmental damage effects.
Fixed Ancient Asteroid Being giving a 24 hour lockout starting upon the time of kill instead of being part of the fixed 24 hour reset timer.
Asteroid drops throughout Prism Empires have been removed save for anything useful or specially designed for fights.
Fire Opal missile crates from Orange and Purple Empire in Prism Empires are now more consistent to acquire from wreckages, instead of half the wreckages giving Metals or Silicon instead.
Renamed the ‘Rift to Juxtaposition’ in Paxius back to its original name ‘Interdimensional Rift’ to match its mission appearance name.
Cybernetic Gonzales now shouts the name of the target that killed her.
[Content Changes]
[Earthforce Space]

Fixed Goblin Controller mission item dropping from Doc Goblin in Protoplasmica, which would get immediately deleted as it isn’t intended to drop and is not used for anything.
Halved the distances, spawn trigger radii, aura ranges, and visual effect sizes of most things inside of the Serengeti’s miniboss rooms.
The Great Rift star in Great Rift Valley before the Lion boss room will no longer inflict -10%/-25%/-50% speed to all nearby ships. This also means the Lions will no longer be slowed by it either.
Reduced Micron race count to train Engines to 20 from five races to one. A new repeatable practice race has been added for the ability to improve one’s best time at Micron.
Micron no longer requires a key to access the blue race track.
Standardized Serengeti Giant Space Alien ambush spawners throughout the rifts for a respawn time of 60 seconds and updating a few of the rooms to move away from the old-style ‘one per direction’ ambush spawners and instead a single omni-directional ambush spawner.
Removed unpolished dust cloud visual effect from middle of Zebra boss Prince Ar’hath Rhak’kai’s arena when on Very High graphics settings.
Doubled the size of the lightning effects in Panther boss Princess Takhagha Rhak’kai’s arena.
Fixed broken name on one of the Active Volcano AI in Corrupted Guardian’s arena Crater Highland.
Made the debuff auras in Rhino boss High Vizir Rakhnis Grahad’rhi’s arena visible as purple nebulae. Increased their Shield Recharge and Energy Recharge debuffs from -50 to -500 to make them more impactful with modern player stats and decreased the range of all but the central nebula slightly so their ranges can be consistent with one another for their visual size.
Asteroid drops throughout the Serengeti have been removed save for anything specially designed for fights.
Zebra Prince boss arena asteroids with the tweak drop now have a yellow tone and emit particles to mark them out as special.
Asteroids in the Panther miniboss room have been centered from their north-west spawning area.
[Perilous Space]

Unstable Hephaestus Drones have been standardized from 2 minutes to 3 minutes for lifespan.
[Kalthi Depths]

Fixed all wild Kalthi not spawned by Kalthi (Armored/Wrathful) Commanders not giving experience when killed.
Asteroid drops throughout the Twisted zone have been removed save for anything specially designed for fights.
Optimized Twisted asteroids to have 1/8th as many particles as they previously had, which will also prevent them from occasionally ‘running out’ of particle budget and losing their trails intermittently.
Twisted Nikola drones have been standardized from 30 minutes to 3 minutes for lifespan.
Twisted Nikola now has a new set of four “Scavenged” drones that can be obtained instead of his drones from the arena’s asteroids, being identical to the original Twisted drones but having 1/4th the energy cost and as before being unscoopable and decaying upon jumping out. This change will also allow the drones to better remain in-line over time as the original nikola drones were very different from the player-obtainable versions.
Twisted Nikola’s new “Scavenged” drones can drop 1-3 per asteroid instead of only 1, and each of the four drone asteroids has 7.5x greater chance to spawn than before.
Twisted Nikola’s new “Scavenged” drone asteroids have lightning effects around them and a trail of smoke to better help them stand out as something of interest.
Twisted Nikola drone asteroids now have appropriate sizes for their drone visuals/drops.
[Subspace Dimension]

The Bila Akara Subspace rift for Engine 22 boss Adhara Akara has had its environmental damage effects restored for the two miniboss rooms. The first wormhole you enter through will now properly give heat resistance as well, protecting you if the rift has been open for more than a few moments and the mobile wormholes inside have already flown off.
Zarkara Adhara (Equipment 22) will now directly drop the Hantr Psu, Raurava Bhava, and Zarkara Sattva augmenters currently at a 33.3% chance for one augmenter to be picked to drop.

The minibosses will no longer drop the augmenters. To compensate for the augmenter removal, Hantr and Raurava have been given overall shield and damage buffs to increase their difficulty and better match Zarkara.
This removes the incentive to use surgical damage or train the piracy skill to increase your odds for these boss drops, which optimally would have been slightly less than the new chances, as well as removing the need to lock players out for killing the minibosses. The Zarkara Sattva augmenter was also broken and not dropping for a long time now, this fixes it as well.
Removed Radar boss's missile launchers from dropping from the Equipment boss, replaced with the augmenters.
The following missions in Subspace have had level or difficulty changes (the missions will be offered at more appropriate levels now, difficulty is the max level you can be before you receive reduced experience rewards):

Lyceum mission chain had its max level of 9999 removed.
Report to the Allied Front has had its minimum level boosted from 500 to 1500.
Equipment 22 for the boss kill was mistakenly set to difficulty 1000 instead of 2000, fixed to give the same amount of experience as the rest.
Bhinna Avapata mission chain with the UrQa changed from minimum level 1000 and difficulty 1500 to 1500 and 2000 respectively.
The Allied Offensive changed from minimum level 500 and difficulty 2000 to 1500 and 3000 respectively.
Pajca Allied Defense Orders changed from minimum level 1000 and difficulty 1500 to 1500 and 2000 respectively.
Subspace DNA Extraction Beams have been increased from extracting 4 DNA per alien to 5. This brings the required number of AI to extract DNA from to build a fully grown Aveksaka ship from 13 Sahvitra eggs, 7 nascent forms, and 7 adult forms down to 10 Sahvitra eggs, 5 nascent forms, and 5 adult forms.
Subspace DNA Extraction Beams no longer automatically shut off until all five DNA has been extracted from a valid target, at which point it will immediately deactivate and inform the user that the target has had all DNA successfully extracted.
Subspace DNA Extraction Beams will now immediately deactivate and warn the user if any validity checks fail, and in a specific order to be more helpful:

If the target is valid for tractoring but is not a ship: “DNA extraction beams can only be used on alien ships.”
If the target is a valid alien ship but is player-owned: “You can only use this DNA extraction beam on non-player-owned ships.”
If the target is otherwise an invalid ship: “Invalid hull type for DNA extraction, valid aliens can be found in the Pajca and Sas regions of the Subspace Dimension.”
If the target has no DNA remaining: “This alien has already had its DNA extracted.”
If the user has no free hull space: “Insufficient hull space to extract DNA from this alien.”
Janayitriadhara (Tractoring 22) will now despawn all bombs when vulnerable at the end of the fight, and cannot be killed until they’ve been despawned. This should prevent any remaining cases of bombs killing the boss and denying players the kill credit (meaning no loot dropped).
Fixed Janayitriadhara’s (Tractoring 22) damage and rate of fire being low, increased the shields on the Paxian Bombs to compensate.
Reduced Janayitriadhara’s (Tractoring 22) shielding by 2/3rds, making the fight significantly faster.
Removed startup from the music in Janayitriadhara (Tractoring 22) arena, as there’s no miniboss rooms to go through prior.
Halaraksa Chid Adiz Mardana Var drones from DD22 Subspace boss have been standardized from 25 minutes to 3 minutes for lifespan.
[Red Outpost]

Sterwyn Aervin’s Legendary item drops now have individual chances to drop, meaning it is possible for more than one to drop and players have more chances to obtain an item.
Red Rogue Reavers and Carmine have had a visual added to their barrage attack to help players better see the incoming attack under chaotic conditions.
[Misc. Content Changes]

-75% Shield Bank to +75% Vulnerability to All for Astro-Grinch.
The following AI-only debuff effects have been converted from negative Energy Bank to positive Electric Tempering (with magnitude multiplied by four):

-50% Energy Bank to +125% Electric Tempering for Doktor Kobaldstein and Dark Kobaldstein.
-75% Energy Bank to +187.5% Electric Tempering for Astro-Grinch.
-90% Energy Bank to +225% Electric Tempering for Copper Blob and Zeus' final phase warhead effect.
Mad Expander Blueprint is now tech 18 to match its product.
The DogeAge ship has a new shiba-themed effect to replace its old electrified center effect carried over from the Ampage and Voltage ships its visual is based on. The original doge photo is unavailable for use due to copyright, so a new CC0 1.0 licensed Shiba Inu’s face is being used sourced from https://pixabay.com/photos/shiba-meadow-serious-sad-garden-2937639/
Added a new DogeAge Meme Drive engine to the DogeAge ship, complete with new particles and in-flight meme text straight from the good old days. Stats are based on the Nyan Power engine from the Nyan’s Reaver.
Many holoprojectors have been updated to be exotic or higher quality if permanent.
Added three new holoprojectors, recolored from Anniversary Server reward versions:

Aurora Hacker Holoprojector, from Matriarch Aurora
Empyreal Pillar Holoprojector, from Grand Empyreal Eclipse
UrQa Flurry Holoprojector, from UrQa’qa Vazuk Vo’kii (Bana King)
The following bosses had a fix recently applied to prevent them from spamming their initial and reset shouts repeatedly, which consequently broke their ability to reset. This fixes that, as well as applies the original fix properly:

Ancalagon the Black
Fallen Haraka
Fallen Kuhani
Haraka Station
Matriarch Aurora
UrQa’qa Vazuk Vo’kii
The following bosses will now clear parasites from their hull upon resetting their fight:

Fallen Haraka
Fallen Kuhani
Haraka Station
Callisto and Ganymede in Olympus are now the only required targets to kill to pass through Near Jupiter Orbit, the Zeus Henchmen no longer count towards blocking the wormhole forward.
Pan-Universal Neural Plasticizer spawners (Global Exp Boosts found floating in space) will now properly randomize their spawn location after being scooped instead of spawning in the same gal every single time.
Brute Force is once more impossible to survive a hit from. A single impact will always kill you, consider yourself warned. Seriously.
[Drone / Engineer Changes]

Repair Rejigger Drone Devices now apply an Advanced Blockade-like auratweak to the personal user’s drones within 1,000 range.
Heavy Repair Rejigger Drone Device charge time reduced from 120s to 60s to match the lower tech Repair Rejigger Drone Device.
Field Hospital and Repair Rejigger Drone Device superitems now have effect descriptions detailing how they work and feature a new visual effect for their auratweaks.
Temp drones will now keep firing even when an envelopment is in the way.
[Item Changes]

All Hands on Deck, the Pax Scutum super item, now applies +100% Transference Power to the player once again. In addition, it injects a nanite that reduces all other damage types to 0.
collision hits are now considered “indirect damage”
Fixed the AeonLabs Station Industry Booster Blueprint only giving 1 worker, it now gives 299.
Updated Mini Madness effect info to state it also increases the user’s visibility by 300 for 2 seconds.
Fixed AeonLabs Building Academy Augmenter blueprints having 42,000 manhours instead of 1, these were the Resilience, Fortress, Cordon, and Guardian Z Augmenters.
removed the level requirement on the account for “Core Skills Neural Boost”
also removed it from “Master Neural Boost” and fixed both descriptions.
Updated the description of Celestial Reaching Empowerment Platform to correctly state that it reduces Damage for increased Range.
AeonLabs blueprints have had their dilution costs set to no longer provide discounts for mass building.
fix for an issue with stacked radioactive mod adding over 100% per stack.
made it so stacked items applying AugStats now apply in the same way as different stacks with the same AugStats.
Prismatic Conv Blueprint has been reduced from 40 size to 10.
Reduced Space Blue Alpha Blueprint cost for Blue Aether from 5 periodic to 3. Reduced Space Blue Alpha Advanced x1 Blueprint cost for Blue Aether from 10 periodic to 5. This smooths out the cost increases for the Space Blue ships, especially the Advanced x1 which requires an Interceptor to build.
Updated Dark Maelstrom’s Rocket(DMR) and Stygian Fist particles to be a lot brighter. DMR is now blue to match a lot of Infernal Darkness assets.
[Server / Systems Changes]

Blueprints with only 1 manhour now complete instantly, most notably the majority of AeonLabs blueprints will be affected by this.
Trade bot orders now include all items from tradebay you have access to in the current galaxy, instead of being limited only to commodities.
Players can now move up to 200 speed difference from solarbodies when placing stations from the original 100 speed difference.
All rifts are automatically set to open PvP now, allowing allied debuffs to work within them.
When a player dies without an escape pod, their spirit will now start at 0 speed matching escape pod behavior to prevent drifting out without noticing.
When an Epiphany is used over its maximum level limit, it will now state its maximum level in event chat instead of the level title belonging to that level. For example, it will now specify level 1,500 instead of level Meijin.
Fixed being unable to equip itemcookbook factories (currently only the Subspace Mining Compressor is applicable) when your ship has temporary drones equipped.
Added some small improvements to towing messages in event chat, including listing the remaining time when attempting to tow for a second time within 30 seconds and being on tow cooldown for up to 30 seconds remaining.
Stations that are both destroyed and starving will no longer repeatedly notify of starvation in the station logs. This will allow the logs to remain a lot less cluttered with what’s effectively useless information if the station was destroyed already.
Fixed the code behind spawn and despawn effects, previously only certain spawners had the effects functional. A lot of spawners throughout the early to midgame have been given spawn and despawn effects over the past year, this will allow them all to properly work.
Added AP links and fixed some incorrect terminology in the warnings for stations and permanent drones being too far from solarbodies.
Removed extra line break from Bindomite tooltip.
Energy boost items, currently the Lucius items from The Colosseum, will no longer display massive energy vulnerabilities in their tooltips.
Target Tracker directions will now have the first letter of each direction capitalized, with a hyphen between the two words if it’s an intercardinal direction. This should make it easier to identify at a glance.
Correctly fixed tractor beams deactivated by the target jumping to another gal causing the energy drain removal to be done on them instead of the source of the tractor.
Lifespan-limited trackers (currently the trackers for Angre and Gonzales dropped by them when they escape) will now correctly state their signal strength as time goes on. This begins with strong, then stable, moderate, weakening, flickering, and finally with less than 60 seconds remaining it will now say critical and inform the user they have less than a minute left to find the target.
Lifespan-limited trackers will no longer occasionally recalibrate with ~60 seconds remaining on their lifespan.
Added support for partial construction progress when the full workforce available may be too much for the limited periodic materials available and consequently halt construction. Full credit cost must still be present for partial construction to occur. This will notably impact blueprints with large amounts of periodic Promethium and Enriched Nuclear Material requirements.
moderator ui now shows players logged in the past 2 hours instead of currently online. So that player can't log off to make it more annoying to mute them
[UI / Client Changes]

added Auto UI scale, this give 1x on 1080p, and a close relative scale equivalent for higher resolution

added shader based scaling for proper scaling at fractional value. and added 25% intervals to the options
Fixed the DogeAge engine mount being off.
make squad scoop chat use exalted pink
fix for a client crash when item tooltip link-color callbacks return after the tooltip is gone
Fixed the size of the corona6.jpg texture on certain stars being too small for the star’s size, rendering the corona within its edge.

Added new Earthforce Mining Operations team for several of the roaming AI in Earthforce Space to use.

Split Infernal Tempest and Infernal Darkness rifts into separate rift wormholes.

Space Blue and Earthforce AI in Blue Outpost now receive 10% the usual hate for being attacked. This will make them quicker to forgive players, in the event that a higher level AI is accidentally targeted and the resulting hate prevents a lower level character from accessing this popular leveling area for a while.

Removed Free Market Zebucart miners, as the asteroids they mine were removed long ago.
[Wild Space]

Added Emperor galaxy name 'Silverbloom' for Elaeagnus Multiflora who became Emperor around October 2025.

Bhinna Avapata now generates at DF 225 instead of 200.

The Doomsday Device in Kumari is now targetable, has received a visual overhaul, emits sound, and emits interference. The quantity of interference isn't enough to block autopilot.

Subspace boss entrances have been consolidated to only appear in the Pajca region of the Subspace layer, instead of one per region from Ekam to Pajca. All five have had their wildness requirement changed to Danger Factor 215, so halfway into the Pajca region.

Separated the ten Subspace bosses from each other, now each one has its own rift and associated lockout.

Roughly half the minibosses and more than half of the gals have been removed.

The minibosses will no longer drop items, credits, or give experience.

The Subspace boss gals will now show locked wormhole visuals when applicable.

The Weaponry miniboss platforms will now use their appropriate names.

The Weaponry boss's Praheti Adhara and Rahnti Adhara platforms will now be randomized between the two variants per each of the three spawns, instead of each of the three always being specific variants.

During the fight with Janayitriadhara (Tractoring 22 Boss), a total of two Sahistha minibosses will be spawned in phase 3 and 4 to add additional combat to this otherwise almost tractor-only fight.

Janayitriadhara's (Tractoring 22 boss) arena's wormhole now orbits around again.

Janayitriadhara's (Tractoring 22 boss) arena's Subspace Anomaly is now visible and orbits around the arena.

Janayitriadhara (Tractoring 22 Boss) is now nestled into the platform beneath it, and will no longer bank (tilt) when turning.

Aveksaka and Paxian Protection Field Emitter bubbles in the Subspace boss areas will now pulse a lot more frequently, more quickly protecting assets as they enter and more quickly removing their protection from assets that exit.

Fixed custom Irradiated Subspace Anomalies having visual loop issues.

Moved T22-related offerings from Lyceum Research Concourse to L.R.S. Discovery station in Allied Front (previously Paxian Front). Hybridizations were copied over. Swapped out Pax vendables for Lyceum vendables.

Adjusted the stats of Aku Qui'Oj and Gonzales Redundant Capacitor.

Updated Drone Expiration holoprojectors to now work in two stages, remaining hidden for 150 seconds until flashing a warning at 30 seconds. The drone icon for the expired visual has been slightly lowered, and the rings around it have been largely lowered.

The following bosses will no longer spam initial and reset shouts repeatedly under certain circumstances:

Ancalagon the Black

Fallen Haraka

Fallen Kuhani

Grand Empyreal Eclipse

Haraka Station

Matriarch Aurora

UrQa'qa Vazuk Vo'kii

Celestial Bank, Drive, and Haven no longer requires any of the rare items for the trade in at CHS Primordial Light.

Grand Empyreal Eclipse will no longer use its Mass Repulsor ability when no players remain. This was causing issues with using it once upon killing the last player asset regardless of distance.

Add unique visual effects for the High Celestial Demolition, Blockade, and Solar drones.

Dev Diary: New Station Functionality by AeonLabs™

AeonLabs is excited to announce the release of their newest product: Dilution technology! AeonLabs is a fresh new start up with a focus on extending and increasing the quality of life for all productive members of society. We are excited to share with you today a new system that we are offering through our research and development division.

Dilutions

The goal of this system is to streamline the station building and gearing experience using a new item called Dilutions. Instead of having to source materials from all over the universe when setting up a station, Dilutions allow you to do almost everything on the spot with very little wait time.

The upcoming patch contains a beta version of the Dilution system, with the full version arriving at the next universe reset. This beta version adds all the new Dilution-based construction projects to the game. At the next universe reset, many station-related items will be exclusively obtained through the streamlined Dilution system, with old acquisition paths phasing out.

Dilutions are a new type of commodity in Star Sonata obtained by right clicking on an augmenter in your inventory and selecting the option to “Dissolve.”

Dilutions are split into three categories as follows:

Higher tech augmenters produce more Dilutions than lower tech augmenters, and higher tech builds cost more Dilutions than lower tech builds.

Augmenter type	Dilutions
Minor	10
Basic	20
Std.	40
Good	80
Exc.	160
Sup.	320
Ult.	640

All Dilution-related builds complete nearly instantly (with the exception of Permanent Drones) and cost only Dilutions to complete (with the exception of Station Kit builds and Permanent Drones).

Blueprints using this system come pre-installed in station kits and are organized into category packs, like a folder system. Upon first deploying a Station Kit you will see a “folder” for industry-related builds and a “folder” for defense-related builds. Each of these “folders” opens into subcategories and builds, as shown below.

The initial “folders” (blueprint packs) available upon deploying an Adamantium Station Kit VIII:

The AeonLabs-brand builds and "folders" (blueprint packs) that become available after doing the “AeonLabs Exotic Achilles Industry Pack” build shown above:

The Dilution system can be used to produce both pre-existing items (like Adamantium Station Kit IX) and newly introduced items (such as AeonLabs Station Extension). Nearly all Dilution-based items are station-bound or decay upon universe reset; most Dilution builds and applications are single-use. Dilutions themselves do not decay upon universe reset. Dilutions can be bought, sold, and traded with other players and in stations.

Extraction

As you upgrade your station to higher tech and quality levels (Fortified, Laconia, Demented, etc.), you unlock more Dilution-based builds. For example, a Demented Station Kit IX has access to all extractor types while a Loaded Station Kit does not include all of the tiered extractor options (such as Adamantium or Quantumum extractors). Station kits have access to their equal level industrial extractors and below.

Here is a table showing the relationships between type of station and extractors available. Station kit types are a general reference. For example, Twisted Station Kits have the same builds available as an Adamantium Station Kit IX. All tiers include the builds from earlier tiers; a Tech 14 Fortified Station Kit IX will have Tech 14 extractor builds along with all the extractor builds available in a Loaded Station Kit IX.

Station kit type	Extractors available
Loaded Station Kits	“Advanced” extractors and Tech 12 Fusion Extractors
Fortified Station Kits	Tech 14 Fusion Extractors on Tech 14 and above stations
Laconia Station Kits	Tech 16 Fusion Extractors on Tech 16 and above stations
Demented Station Kits	Tech 18 Fusion Extractors on Tech 18 and above stations
Adamantium Station Kits	Tech 20 Fusion Extractors on Tech 20 stations

The Dilution system allows industrial extractors (such as Planetary Core Metal Fusion Drill) to be instantly built. This means you can have full extraction implemented on the first day of a new universe — no more waiting! Even better, industrial extractors now automatically come with factories to convert their extraction to industrial commodities.

“Brought to you by AeonLabs — Eternity Is Possible.”

Re-adding Pirate's Whisky Generator and Pirate's Whisky Reservoir to Levasseur's drop table.

Temporally Entangled Regression Chamber's can now be turned in for 30 Paxian Peacekeeper's Recommendation.

Temporal Trackers in Kalthi Depths now look for a galaxy starting from Danger Factor 400 up to their maximum danger factor, instead of only searching within a small Danger Factor band.

Fixed mission summary for the What is a Causal Collapse mission (corrected required Paxian Peacekeeper Signaculums).
[Server Changes]

Fixed a bug with colony storehouse loading

Spawner Trackers are now much less likely to pick a galaxy very far from your current location.

Earth scientists have triggered a temporal singularity on an off-world lab while trying to create space-time based weaponry. Initial containment of the singularity has been lost and there is now no way to stop it. This singularity is eating not just matter - but time itself!As a result, star system after star system is being absorbed into the singularity and it is just a matter of time before the whole universe is sucked in.The effects of the singularity will remain local until it reaches its temporal threshold, at which point existence as we know it will end.Scientists expect the universe to then unfold into an earlier version of itself on the other side of this singularity. Representatives from at least the Urqan, Mzungu, Bule, and Kalthi regions of space have been seen forming fleets to engage outsiders in the new universe and vie for territory. The Paxians have decided to rely on technological preparation and logical understanding of the situation.Ready yourself, for no one truly knows what to expect on the other side - both threatening entities and exciting new territory await!Dev Notes

Extractors other then space oats shut off, colonies will no longer make purchases to/from user stations, AI stations will no longer decay goods 7 days before end of the universe. Will be a reminder post.

Player stations, permanent drones, and the credits on active bots will be lost.

Player ships will not be affected.

If you’re docked during the reset, you will spawn into the new universe using your docked active ship.

Careful not to spawn into the new universe in an immobile ship!

Wild Space will be scrambled and receive a new map shape.

All other layers will have the systems scrambled but contain the same shape.

After a universe reset, all of your docked ships will be in a state of limbo allowing you to dock them all at any non-player station. You can use the /limbo chat command only once to bring all of your docked ships back into limbo to dock them elsewhere. There is no longer a time limit.

You can purchase additional limbos via Limboing Tow Service at Friedman station in Free Market for 5 billion credits each.

Fixed a display bug that wasn't showing the stats of some enhanced mods correctly scaled by item quality.

Fixed a bug where items that only have 1 possible other secondary wouldn't offer a secondary swap.

Added a "No change" text to the default option when Neuroforging when the enhancement is at max rather than no text at all in the diff box.

Changed it so that it would still offer the option to lose a secondary in exchange for a bonus roll at max enhancement, even though it wouldn't benefit from the normal bonus to enhancement with that option.

Fixed a bug where bonus rolls on unchosen roll options were not getting properly loaded from the XML.

Announcement: 20th Anniversary Event
Help us celebrate twenty years of Star Sonata! With our little game completing its second decade, we feel it’s only right to run an equally spectacular event to commemorate the occasion! We’ve done so many events over the years but the most storied and popular was the “PvP Server” event of 2020. So, we would like to formally announce Star Sonata’s 20th Anniversary Event: A ten-day fresh start server on temporary characters with the rate of progression turned up to 11. This event will run from June 13th to June 23rd.
The Rundown
Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming celebration (more details to follow as the event gets closer):
The event will run from June 13th to June 23rd 2025.
You will log in to your regular account, but on a separate server labeled “Event” in the server drop down. The Live server will continue as normal.
On the Event server, your account starts with no characters. Any characters you create will be completely fresh at level zero. These characters will only exist on the Event server and won’t migrate to the Live server afterwards. You don’t have to worry about overwriting anything on Live.
You can create as many characters on the Event server as your account normally allows.
Pay to Play and Free to Play statuses will be copied from Live. If you would like to subscribe, do so in the usual way and your subscription status will immediately copy over to the Event server.
Standard restrictions for Pay to Play and Free to Play will apply on the Event server.
All character and team names will be available and are first come first serve!
Remember that any characters you create on the Event server will not be saved once the event ends. Any items you collect, stations you built, and skills you trained will be lost.
There will be no web based features for characters on the Event server.
Experience gain, item drop rates, lockout rates, construction rate and colony tick speeds will all be greatly increased!
The server will be a full-featured universe with all skills, zones and bosses accessible. However, Warp Navigation skill levels will be time gated to set the pace during the early part of the event.
There will be individual, teamwide and server-wide goals to complete, with various rewards on the Live server for completing them! These will be detailed later. Any individual awards will be cosmetic in nature.
To get into the retro spirit of the event, the Earthforce layer will be PvP enabled (except for the protected galaxies around Sol).
The follow on post will give specifics on the timeline of the event as well details on the goals and rewards.

I hope you are excited as we are to celebrate twenty years of Star Sonata!

Fixed description of Resonating mod on energy to state the usual shield/radar effect in addition to the half chance to use fuel.

[Class Changes]

Ranger:

Sniper empowered shot changes:

Critical Hit Chance used in damage calculation is now reduced by targets Critical Hit Resistance.

No longer benefits from Critical Hit Chance greater than 100% (after the reduction from Critical Hit Resistance)

Beam hits do empowered damage to collision code targets, like projectiles already did

Re-added 10% Damage per level for Heavy Fighters on True Grit skill.

Ranger still retains the 7 total marks

Ranger marks now decay every 5s after the first decay at 40s (while no new ones are being applied), instead of 40 seconds per mark.

Speed Demon:

Overdrive energy charge no longer dissipates on jump.

Shield Monkey:

When a Shield Monkey deals transference damage to a target, the shields they gain via stealing are not mitigated by the resistances of that target.

The damage dealt is mitigated by both the target’s shield stealing resistance and beam resistance.

Both damage dealt and shields gained are still mitigated by class based mitigation mechanics, Like Speed Demon’s glance and Berserker’s frontal shield.

In the last patch we adjusted the rate at which shield stealing does damage and restores shields. These values were reverted to what they were before they were changed. You can see these values on the Shield Monkey Class 3 skill.

Made it so Transference Power auras will affect how much damage is done with a Shield Monkey Enveloper

Shield stealing self healing is no longer reduced by stealing resists.

The Shield Monkey Enveloper can only give up to 10% of the Shield Monkey’s current shield bank as bonus damage per shot.

Shield stealing resistance mechanic has been refactored. Resistances should now be consistent in both effect and how they are displayed to players.
