Alpha 0.8 Crafting

CSC Alpha -  0.8.104

IMPORTANT NOTES: 

• Users will have to move a workshop module around and re-save before using workshops again
• Important note regarding Deconstruction, Currently the 50% resource option is not working to spec. It is instead giving out 30% resources along with a blueprint. This will be fixed in a hot patch in the next day or two.

Changes:

Manufacturing:

• Manufacturing has been introduced in this build! For a full overview please read our blog
• GFI Public Station Facilities now open in GFI Home Station, Venus Staion, Jupiter Station, and Proxima Station
• CCB Station has 2 player owned facilities
• Note* Users cannot yet buy public facilities but can use the GFI facility if it is not busy
• Purchasing a Private Manufacture costs 1,000,000 GRP
• Deconstruction now enabled: Deconstruct your items to obtain components and a blueprint
• Blueprints are used to manufacture modules and ships, the more blueprints you have the higher your mastery and the higher success rate you have in manufacturing the item

Workshop:

• GFI Public Station Workshops now open:
• Trading Post (Including CCB) / Standard Station - 70% Yield, 5% Tax, 1250 GRP Fee
• Mining Station - 85% Yield, 4% Tax, 2115 GRP Fee per use
• Refining Station - 94% Yield, 3% Tax, 5250 GRP Fee per use
• Users cannot yet buy public workshops but can use the GFI Workshop
• Purchasing a Private Workshop now costs 250,000 GRP

Loadouts:

• You can now save different loadouts for you ships
• Use the Clear function to move all equipped modules into your ships hangar

Mining
Ice:

• Ice mining enabled: You will only be able to use ice specialty beams with these
• Ice belts change locations every 3-7 days at random intervals, so if you find a field, you'll want to try to mine it fast before it wanders to a new area
• Ice belts are not found within a 10LY radius from Sol
• The further out you go the denser the distribution is; up to 5,500 units of ore per asteroid

Gas:

• Gas mining enabled: You will only be able to use gas specialty beams with these
• Gas asteroids can be found by searching for asteroids covered in a dense colored gas
• Gas belts change locations every 3-7 days at random intervals, so if you find a field, you'll want to try to mine it fast before it wanders to a new area
• Some gas belts can be found in near space but are rare
• The further out you go the denser the distribution is; up to 200,000 units of gas per asteroid
• Not all gas belts have the same contents, for example, Hydrogen will only be found in some Systems

Asteroid Seeding

• All systems have more concentration zones with a higher density of rare resources
• The further out you go the denser the distribution is; up to 200,000 units of ore per asteroid

NPCs:

• NPCs that spawn while mining have now been more balanced
• Core systems should be beginner friendly, with increasing NPC difficulty as you go further out from SOL
• Fringe systems are a lot more challenging, with increasing NPC difficulty as you go further out from SOL
• SOL NPC spawn locations have been cut to 3 locations with a difficulty ranging from easy, medium, and hard 
• All NPCs have a 15% chance to drop Biohexium Gas Cannisters
• The more difficult NPCs drop more
• Currently Biohexium Gas Cannisters can only be obtained through NPCs

Missions:

• Missions got a balance pass: Challenge rating 1's should be good for beginner players
• Challenge rating 50 should now be pretty challenging.

Ship Bonuses:

• Ship specific bonuses have been implemented
• Important to note* These values are not final and are being tested. Values may be changed or removed after close watch of how the bonuses are handling.

Known Issues:

• When typing in Coordinates hotkeys are enabled
• Directional Scanners lagging at times
• Users will have to move a workshop module around and re-save before using workshops again
• Words will sometimes stack together in combat logs
• Transaction time UI shows UTC time, but not in military time
• GFI Security fleet still disabled

• Certain missiles fired by NPCs will cause them to circle the users ship before they explode
• Surrounding ships are able to see NPC disruptions after getting EMP'd by another user in a Oscillator.
• Spelling errors in activity logs, these will be corrected moving forward and past logs will get updated in the next few weeks.
