Features & Gameplay

Gameplay

Leaked internal documents from the Associated Science and Development Group suggest that a major containment operation is underway deep within their Onyx Facility. The documents describe the discovery of a vast underground cave system during recent excavation work, where a large and reportedly dangerous creature was encountered.

Sources indicate that the group has since implemented reinforced airlock systems throughout the site to maintain safety. Personnel have reportedly been advised to bring small fire teams, equipped with tractor beams and ample ammunition.

The Associated Science and Development Group has not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident.

Economy Balance Changes

Initial Industrial Patch Changes to Bulk Grade Commodities.

Mining of Bulk Grade Commodities (Iron, Tin, Tunsgten ETC) Should see between a 8-15% increase to profits.)
Free Trade should see a 15-20% increase to ROI for Bulk Grade commodities (Hydrogen, Processed Food, Steel, Pressurized Ice, Helium etc) - If we let you buy it in 32 SCU crates it's probably Bulk Grade.

Specific Balance Changes

Heart of the Woods wasn't anywhere near valuable enough for it's grade and got increased a lot
Partiullium was on the other hand 400% above standard for the value for it's grade and got bumped down to only be 200% above standard
Scrap price got buffed overall, however the two best locations to sell scrap are now some of the stations in Pyro, which encourages trade between systems.

Construction Materials Changes
In line with the increased in value per single SCU of Construction Material, it's now primarily sold in 8SCU increments at corresponding buy locations.
The goal here is that while larger salvage ships provide a meaningful level of improvement to efficiency, the smaller ships do not become completely irrelevant.
