Distress Calls
When an Alliance Courier is attacked a distress call is sent. To receive these messages type /join distress in the chat box. We're working on a way for players to easily broadcast distress calls by selecting an option. See Developer Diary 09/29.
Ship Scanning
Pilots can scan Alliance Couriers for loot if their HT Score is 5 or higher. At level 10, you can detect contraband (to be used later for Alliance Police). The results of a scan will not currently show the details of the cargo, just the highest loot type (RT1, RT2, RT3, etc...).
Hundreds of Planet Names cleared
Tons of planets, nebulas, and various other celestial objects with the word "♥♥♥♥♥" as a name have been cleared. So there are a lot of "Unknowns" out there now.
Help Ticket System available in space.
You can now submit/manage support tickets from your cockpit. This is accessible from the PDA under "Help".
Note: Pilots can earn a 20% credit bonus when submitting bug reports from a Nightly Build.
Nightly Builds
Nightly Builds are versions of the game that are uploaded on a nightly or weekly basis.
These builds contain the latest features, changes, and bug fixes and are usually the last step before a build becomes stable. More info on Nightly Builds.
Assembly Weights
Increased the weight of space station assemblies from 1,000m3 to 10,000m3 to be more realistic.
