Universe Reset

Quick reminder to everyone, the universe will implode on the 17th of September, be sure to pack your userbases, temporary and permanent drones! Characters, skills and ships will all be transferred over. Industrial commodities and platform/defender drones will be deleted at the reset, remember to sell your industrial commodities before then!

Fixing lots of bugs! Error reporting on scooping has been changed to suppress error messages that are the same as the previous, squelching the issue where players wouldn't be told why they couldn't scoop stuff. The new Emperor notifications are live as some of you may have noticed last night when enkelin completed his coronation.
This weekend is supposed to be our next bonus weekend, however due to the uni reset I'll postpone it a week.

I’ve finished testing and refining the Tech 21 heavy fighters as well as the Resistance: https://postimg.org/image/3ypsxr033/
I've put the -20% Range that the Prawn was getting on the Prawn's Claw. This was to avoid having to put -75% Range as a ship inbuilt stat to counteract the Sniper skills that grant range, because that would severely hurt any other class that's trying to make use of the ship. The -Vulnerability on the Prawn’s Claw has been removed because it was basically a flat increase to effective shield bank with Transference damage.The Prawn has also received a new inbuilt item called Boarding Hooks. This superitem is a stream of mags that, if they hit the target, pull the target towards the Prawn (like Kidd’s mags). It also recharges faster if you are taking damage.

The Red Pill for the Delquad has been reworked. It's now a transformation that lasts 18 seconds and has a 2 minute cooldown. In testing, it was doing about 30% more DPS at the cost of Range, Resistances, Visibility and Tracking.

The three ships compare to each other as follows:

• The Wattage is 20% more efficient vs the Delquad (50% more efficient vs the Prawn)
• The Prawn does 20% more DPS vs Delquad & Wattage at the cost of 20% Range (vs the Wattage) and 20% efficiency (vs the Delquad)
• The Delquad (Blue Pill)  has 20% more Range vs the Wattage (50% vs the Prawn)

Testing was done with a 2 Emp 1 CaL setup.These changes will be applied the uni after next, together with the removal of MF2 and content rebalance.

I will be going over all of the Class locked augmenters (Tech 5, Tech 10, Tech 15, Tech 20, Art of Augmenters, etc) to make sure they all line up properly and make sense under the new class system. I had to fix an issue with lockouts as well (which resulted in most tech 20+ ubers being locked for a short amount of time after the patch, since then they have been fixed and unlocked - SunDog60).

Jey

Jey is preparing for our universe reset this Saturday. He's also managed to track down and fix an old bug causing souls to duplicate occasionally. Players who were suffering from flashing lights will be happy to hear that Jey has managed to track down and fix the bug.
