Changelog v1.10 B4232 2023-06-27

Gameplay

• Added the ‘Drone Bay’: You can now craft and place the Drone Bay and equip it with Defense Drones. A Drone Bay Spawner is required for starting the drones.
  
  
  
  1. Pay attention to the direction you set the drone spawner block & also place it on the outside of the vessel so the drones have easy access to it to spawn & despawn from.
     
  2. To “retrieve” spawned drones toggle the power off for the drone bay & wait for them to return & despawn. When they are close to your vessel keep it still so they can find the spawner & despawn.
     
  3. Please note this is the first iteration of this feature. Please leave you feedback here
     
  
  
  https://empyriononline.com/threads/v-1-10-drone-bay.101751/

• We encourage you to try out the feature firsthand in the game and share your valuable feedback with us over here: https://empyriononline.com/threads/v1-10-building-blueprint-parts-collection-toolset.101753/
  
• Snap points are an incredibly powerful addition, and once you become familiar with their functionality, you'll discover that they are a remarkable time-saving tool.
  

Building: Blocks & Shapes

• Added 23 new blockshapes; You can find the new blockshapes by checking for missing slots and white blanks on the Cubes, Round and Connector tabs OR hover over the seemingly empty slots on the 2nd page of the "basic shapes" tab

• Changed start location and context of main storyline (Prelude now starts when arriving on Omicron Sector!)
  

Most important changes:

• Updated: Story Mission 'Glacial Grave': Reduced Log content (amount of text) found on the system consoles down to 1-page logs and made several other refinements on procedures.
  
• Updated: Story Mission 'Ancient Revelations': fixed issues with opening doors too early, changed creatures to variants that better fit some room sizes. Staircase now cleared when using shortcut from main access to upper level; added some additional markers in some places.

• Updated: Story Mission Interlude 'Meet the GLaD': added some skip areas to Dialogues and streamlined text info for summaries
  
• Updated: Story Mission 'Sigma Fulcrum': Reduced clickcount on station console (each message now only shown once as long as player stays in the dialogue); Fixed a few inconsistencies with mission progress; Note the station is still set to Colonists faction you won't damage your reputation with. So first ask, then shoot.
  
• Updated: Story Mission 'Unexpected Allies': Fixed faction settings to not break mission progress. Updated some dialogues; updated info + added more SKIP routes in dialogues.

• Deactivated 'Murky Christmas' mission (as this is seasonal content).
  
• General change on story mission factions & enemies: When there is no chance to proceed in a story mission other than to fight against a dynamic-RP faction, the opponents will be set to "Alien" to not forcefully ruin player reputation. If there is a choice, e.g. to trade, talk or fight, a dynamic faction might be used & the decision to ruin the Reputation towards them is up to the players themselves.
  
• Factions & Reputation & NPCs
  
• Set UCH to dynamic faction reputation
  
• Added a static player-friendly 'technical' faction 'PlayerAssistDefaultHostile' (PDH) to help with mission setups that require combat against default-hostile factions and RP is not spoiled by friendly-fire or the faction is already used in another context. The faction is not intended to have POI or territories but is a "technical" static faction only.
  
• Reworked faction reputation matrix: eg. added more crossover effects (pos and negative), removed too strong level-drop effects and added specific RP-loss amounts to some blocks (f.ex. Cores)
  
• Changed NPC groups (EclassConfig) and updated terrain-spawned patrol groups (Egroup)
  
• Telluropod now available from NPC Spawners
  
• Updated the UCH faction NPCs: the faction now uses a dedicated set of NPC types for military and civilians.
