Patch Notes For 2024-06-20.1

Features & Changes:

Homefront Operations:

Three new Homefront Operations sites have begun appearing throughout empire-owned High Security systems. Like existing Homefront Operations, these sites will primarily be found near trade hubs and Career Agent systems.

Unlike existing Homefront Operations, these sites will only permit standard T1 Destroyers and T1 Frigates. Their rewards are also optimized towards a smaller fleet of 3 pilots.

Traffic Stop

• Smugglers disguised as legitimate transports are using this location to hide the trafficking of Contraband Data. Scan the cargo holds of vessels on site to identify the smugglers and destroy them before they dock without disturbing innocent civilians.

Stabilize Rift

• Sleepers are attempting to collapse an Abyssal rift we have been ordered to keep open. Drain the capacitors of their Destabilizing Arrays to foil their plans.

Salvage Research

• Ashes of Turnur extremists have attacked a research facility. Salvage wreckage to secure Encrypted 'Istina' Data before the site's reactor explodes and they are lost forever.

SKIN Selling in Paragon Hub:

Players can now sell the SKINs they create in the Paragon Hub through the Collection.

Selling Options

• Players can set both the price and the currency (PLEX or ISK) for their SKINs.

• A brokerage fee, always charged in ISK, is required to list a SKIN for sale. This fee is based on the selected listing duration, in line with current Marketplace standards.

• Pricing can only be set in whole numbers and must be greater than 0.

• Brokerage fees are displayed to the player based on the chosen listing duration.

• Required skills must be met to list SKINs on the storefront.

Taxation

• Sales are taxed in the currency chosen (PLEX or ISK).

• Taxes are rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Listing Duration

• Players can choose from various listing durations:

• 1 Day

• 3 Days

• 1 Week

• 2 Weeks

• 1 Month

• 3 Months

Get ready to expand your in-game business by selling your unique SKINs and managing your listings directly in the Paragon Hub!

🤝 The Ship SKINR is located in a new folder - Paragon Services in the NEOCOM. But we are sure you will want to put a shortcut to it in the main NEOCOM Bar!

Sovereignty:

• The planned date for allowing Sovereignty Hubs to transition to the new system, and for new Sov Hubs deployed to be operating in the new system, has been delayed 1 week from June 20th to June 27th. We outline why we're delaying it here.

• Blueprints for old "defunct/deprecated" sov upgrades can be manufactured once again to make sure there are still enough old upgrades around with this small delay.

  • Research/Copying and buying new blueprints is still disabled

  • the planned date for manufacturing to be disabled again is June 27th.

Ships:

• The Infrastructure Hold can now contain Command Centers.

Gameplay:

• Sequence Binder welcome package can now be moved between inventories.

• Sequencing skills group is now shown in the Market.

• Fixed an issue where if a Metenox Moon Drill was transferred between corporations then the moon material bay would not show the old materials that belonged to the old corporation owner, and it would mine there until downtime.

PvE:

• Fixed players being decloaked by an invisible object in C5 & C6 sites.

Ship Tree:

• Alpha capsuleers with trained Omega skills will now be able to see them as yellow-colored tiles in the Ship Tree.

User Interface:

• Fixed an issue where limited design elements appeared as deselected in the Ship SKIN design editor after running a sequencing job for it.

• Fixed various UI overlaps on smaller window sizes in the Ship SKINR.

• Fixed an issue where the UI remained visible under custom SKIN designs after activating a SKIN license.

• Fixed an issue where the Hull Type filter didn't reset correctly when navigating away from the Paragon Hub tab in the Ship SKINR.

• Fixed an issue where an Expert Systems' 'View in Store' button was slightly cropped in the Requirements tab of a ship's Information window.

• Fixed an issue where progress bars in Info Panel objectives could be missing their displayed current/goal value when no progress had been made.

• Fixed an issue where item icons would be missing when dragging items from the Redeem Items queue on the character selection screen.
