Written by: Ilyos, the Arbiter

Addressed to:


%7Freighter and Superhauler class ships have received some upgrades:%

- These ships can now tow up to 4 (Freighter) or 8 (Superhauler) asteroids at a time
- There is a new ability in Captaincy called HARVESTDRONES that only Superhauler class ships may use. Essentially, while standing stilll in a gascloud with scoops deployed, Superhaulers may deploy gas harvesting drones that will automatically scoop up the entire gas cloud over time. See the AB file for more info/restrictions.

- There is a new commodity item able to be crafted by Bots autofactories: harvestdrones. Costs are identical to astromechs. Harvestdrones are used with the above Superfreighter ability.


%7Others:%

- Sentry Drones should now come back to their owner if they somehow end up in a bad place (such as a room flagged for deletion)
- Mobs that should be immune to damage are now properly immune to subsys damage as well
- Some issues with the Mission Control game not resetting properly have been addressed
