• The Starfreight Services option in the GIN Console has finally been unlocked. It can be used to complete factory missions by paying a freighter to supply the parts instead of you.
  
• Normal cargo boxes' drop containers only last for 5 minutes when destroyed. They cause massive lag to the entire playfield when you destroy the containers on a patrol vessel.
  
• Added new Loot Box entity that's dropped when Alien Loot Containers, Cargo Controllers and Quantum Boxes are destroyed. They are larger, white with lights on them, so they can be seen in space. They last for 15 minutes before despawning.

All starting planets and progression through the starting systems.
Orbits and asteroid fields.
Planet and moons.
General combat and building.

Current testing needs:
All starting planets and progression through the starting systems.
Orbits and asteroid fields.
Planet and moons.
General combat and building.


Misc:

• Removed several unused custom factions from the scenario. This may break existing save games!
  
• Added surface graphite rock formations near starting locations on Ningues, Uai, Oscutune, the rogue starters, and randomly to Masperon. These will appear as a small clumping of dark surface rocks but will not show on the detector and are meant to offset the lack of carbon surface rocks on these planets.
  
• Temporary change to lower the price of base attacks in an attempt to reduce the overwhelming base attacks.
  
• Removed T2 wrecks from starter orbits and replaced them with more T1 wrecks.
  
• Reduced patrol speeds of Zirax patrol vessel in orbits in the starting system and habitable systems.
  
• Disabled bandit ambushes in starting system orbits and asteroid fields.
  
• Increased temperature range of orbits in the starting system from -200/-100 to -160/-100. Increased temperature range of habitable orbits from -200/-100 to -170/-100.
  
• Set Abandoned POIs to a new default hostile faction that won't fight other NPC factions. No more Zirax POIs shooting at that Abandoned Factory nearby.
  
• Replaced all Zirax patrol vessels on planets with the new dedicated planet versions which should be easier to take out in a SV.
  
• Changed spawn resource range of all 80-100 entries to 150-600 to place less ore deposits right next to Zirax and other faction POIs.
  
• More global playfield updates to remove or replace old POI groups. Removed VOID and Fallen POIs until they can be reworked later.
  
• Updated POIs and deposits on more planets.
  
• Changed colors of barren planets on the map to gray.
  
• Added new variation of barren planet.
  
• Reduced pursuit range of drones in cold and hot orbits by 50%.
  
• Removed drones belonging to the Main faction in orbits. I have a feeling they were still spawning in neutral territory as Zirax faction.
  
• Updated Zirax space drones in orbits to use the new RG2 space drones.
  
• Removed chance for patrol vessels in poor quality asteroid fields. May need to reduce the number of asteroids in them at a later time.
  
• Adjusted chances for Zirax patrol vessels in orbits to reduce the maximum count.
  
• Tovera Dreadnoughts now have a 5% chance to be found in hot orbits in Zirax territory. Will be given their own sector later.
  
• Added Xenu faction drones that patrol orbits in Zirax faction territory.
  
• Reduced damage of colonist missile turrets and raider modulated laser turrets to SV blocks, weapons, and shields by 50% to make bandits and raiders easier to do with a SV. Might change this back later though if it makes them too easy. Reduced rotational speed of raider laser turrets to make them easier to dodge.
  
• Changed stars in the Sea of Silence to Legacy specific ones for upcoming Legacy content (much later in RE2 development).
  
• Replaced old Project Eden POI shield generators with new ones. Some ships and POIs such as bandits, raiders, and drone swarm won't have shields at the moment. This will be fixed soon.
  
• Misc playfield, solar system, and galaxy changes too many to list here.

• Antimatter Thrusters can now be repaired to template. The trade-off is that they always cost 2x their calculated marketprice to repair via station services.
  
• T3 Shield Boosters and Advanced Plasma Turbines can also be repaired to template at 1.25-1.5x marketprice due to them containing unique purchase-only components.
  
• Devices containing Quantum Processors are not and will never be repairable to template (Superior and Quantum CPU, Fusion Reactors, T2-T3 Teleporters, T3 Detector).
  
• Improved graphite yield from surface rocks, asteroid rock and some other minor sources.
  
• Stone dust can be converted into Graphite faster and requires 20% less stone.
  
• Updated polaris ocean POIs.
  
• Added sulfur drops to geysers.
  
• Flamethrowers no longer set enemies on fire.
  
• Removed ability to inflict fire or stun on enemies since this had unintended problems with panic-capable NPCs that caused them to run around in circles at high speed.
  
• Fixed bugs with applying mods to the Plasma Blaster and Zirax Shotgun where they were missing variable checks resulting in a blank window.
  
• Added new crashed ships for starter planets.
  
• Cargo extensions can be dragged again.

• Ground troops no longer penetrate shields.
  
• Flak Turret's bonus vs HV/SV reduced from +100% to +50%.
  
• Added new dedicated versions of the Kiuvera and Sunat for planetary patrol vessels.
  
• Various bugfixes (localization changes, item drops from trees/rockets, etc...)

Hotfix to adjust ore spawning on the barren, desert, and snow planets in the starting systems to place more ore deposits outside of faction territory.

Current testing needs:
All starting planets and progression through the starting systems.
Orbits and asteroid fields.
Planet types: Most variations of temperate-like, desert, ocean, swamp, alien, arid, tropical planets. Any temperate-like moons.
Barren and lava moons.
General combat and building.


Misc:

• Reverted change that allowed NPCs to be lit on fire and stunned because it broke NPC AI and made them run around in circles.
  
• Updated climate ranges on most star classes. In general, some planets and sectors will now spawn closer to the star on average. This should generally improve solar power generation but your milage will vary. A lot.
  
• X-Corp LR-47 Thunderbolt right click can now stun enemies that are stunnable. Game said no.
  
• Increased spawn rate for Polaris and Zirax mining drones around mining operations on moons.
  
• Disabled alien moons, eerie moons, and barren hot moons until they can be properly remade.
  
• Adjusted moon probabilities. Less overall chance of nascent moons. Slightly more moon variety.
  
• Increased maximum geothermal generators to 8.
  
• Slightly increased availability of surface carbon on Roggery.
  
• Added more very small carbon deposits to all starting planets that have ore deposits. Added even more carbon deposits to the starting planets that cannot have surface carbon rocks due to using the old decoration system. No, they won't be updated to the new system now or in the forseeable future.
  
• Removed the following space sectors until they can be updated or replaced: pentaxid mining facility, pirate battlestation, syndicate casino, xenuan carrier, corrupted encounters.
  
• Removed all planets and sectors from the SMBH at the center of the galaxy. It spawns every faction. Will be replaced at some point with something cool.
  
• Added new function in the Science Station under Exploration > Galactic Navigation to add bookmarks to the galaxy map to aid in navigation.
  
• Fixed misc bugs too many to list here.

Hotfix to add missing EClassConfig.ecf changes from latest RG2 update.

• Rewrote the sentinel troops' config (experimental) that will stop them from shooting through walls and improve pathing behavior when encountering a player.
  A side-effect of this is that the sentinels play their death animation twice like civilians. I don't know why or how.
  
• Fixed bug where the HV/SV Laser Turret ammo wasn't craftable.
