Hotfix

- Fixed typos in sub-class mission description incorrectly stating 50 instead of 20 in the pop-up.
- Fixed bug with Engineer Main Class not correctly awarding skill bonus for level 4>5 so couldn't choose a subclass.

Note: If you've reached Engineer level 5 already in your savegame, the event cannot be retriggered. You will need to use (or get an admin to use if in MP) the console command: "give item Token 4013" to obtain a Naval Commendation, which can be used in the Class Level screen to manually increase your class level by 1; Allowing you to pick your sub class.

A general reminder on scenario updates:
A new save game is not mandatory unless otherwise stated. It is your choice or the choice of your server owner whether to continue an existing save game or start a new one.
It may take Steam some time to update the scenario. You may have to perform a file validation in Steam to force the download.
Please make sure your local copy is updated before copying the scenario's files to update your server and that your FTP client is set to binary transfer mode.
I cannot assist with troubleshooting server updates.
Please see the pinned posts in the discussions and the Project Eden guide for more information.

• Semiconductors are now crafted in advanced constructors instead of small constructors.
  
• Fixed missing description on Small Vulcan Turret.
  
• Fixed Expedition: The Forge getting stuck on last step. Reduced reward to 10,000 credits. Known issue: the mission may restart itself once complete. Please use common sense and don't do it again. I won't have time to fix this properly yet so this is just a quick edit to fix progress.
  
• Fixed The Dead Part 1 getting stuck on Triangulation. (For single player you may need to use the "pda readdata" command to apply the fix which may reset your missions progress)
  
• Reduced damage of Inefficient drill turrets by 50%. Doubled CPU use. These are NPC versions of the turrets so while you can obtain them from NPC ships, the ones you build yourself will be much better.
  
• Misc fixes.
  
  
• (Reforged) Increased mass for Gauss Vulcan Turret.

• Fixed Drone Swarm Nest using wrong blueprint.
  
  
• (Reforged) Fixed sectors file to use EdenStarterSnowRE for Ningues to fix missing Reforged mission POIs. (Requires a new save game)

• Debug Assault Rifle no longer has any recoil
  
• Fixed a bug with the scenario upload that wasn't updating the status effects file.
  
• Added the new Large Constructor and Advanced Constructor Models and icons (All credit goes to bOBaN/Dogmeat for these models)
  
• Added new Tiers of Shield Capacitor and Charger for CV/BA. (3x3x2 and 5x4x5)
  
• Shield Capacitor and Charger limits for CV/BA reduced from 24:24 to 4:4:4:4:4:4 (24 total)
  
• The new shield capacitors give +15,000 shield HP and +45,000 shield HP. They are less efficient however.
  
• New Shield Capacitor and Chargers have unique models. They're very fancy.
  
• Warning: Please do not jump into the spinning turbines. I am not fishing out any players who think it's fun to stick their heads into a disk of spinning blades.
  
• - Models are subject to change (I had to rush them)
  
• Shield Capacitor and Charger limits for HV/SV are 8:8, and may be adjusted to fit in their own larger version. I don't have time to add new models though.
  
• Minor balancing and bugfixing.

Known Bugs:
The new Shield Capacitor/Charger models have some sections that the multitool won't collide with due to the shape and complexity and the way Empyrion handles collision meshes means that normal collision meshes don't work unless they're on the parent object. However, collision meshes can't be moved/scaled into place unless they're on a child object. So both are being used, so the player can walk over and touch surfaces naturally (collision mesh), but there's still gonna be some invisible corners sticking out for tools/weapons to impact (box/capsule collider).

This is a huge update to the scenario. Expect some hot fixing over the next few weeks to fix bugs and balance issues that are reported.
A new save game is strongly recommended to get new content and avoid issues. Old save games may encounter issues that will not be able to be fixed.

This update changes shields and weapons. Please check your blueprints for CPU and power usage!
Some blueprints may need to be updated to adapt to the changes, please understand that updating older blueprints is a necessary part of playing an in-development custom scenario in an in-development game.

If you find your favorite weapons aren't doing as well as they used to for the CPU this may be because they are better balanced OR it may be because they need some buffing. Likewise some weapons may be too good and will need to be brought down a bit. This is unfortunately something that a test scenario can only do so much about. Real feedback from real games is needed so not everything may be balanced yet.




A special thanks to everyone who helped test and contributed content for this update. Your feedback helped out so much.
I hope everyone enjoys this update and please post in the troubleshooting discussion if you encounter any issues or have feedback! Expect that we'll make changes as people start playing through the scenario. Thank you all so much.
