FIXES:

Audio

  • Fixed a missing sound on the warp gates.

Gameplay

  • Inventory access to starbase structures was incorrectly denied if the player's ship was within range of the control tower (but not the structure itself) and the tower did not have an active forcefield. The structure should now be correctly accessible if the ship is within the area where the forcefield would be, even when the forcefield is not present.
  • Occasionally a static dungeon (such as an Ice Belt or a Sov-upgrade site) would not re-spawn correctly on server startup, and remain missing until after the next downtime. This should now be fixed and all sites should be available according to normal respawn timers.
  • Fixed an issue with 'Expel Member' corporation votes, where a corp member would sometimes be missing from the list of available candidates for removal if he owned slightly more shares than the average shareholder. The intended behavior is that a character holding more than the average shareholder (excluding any shares owned by the corp itself) can only be expelled via a vote. Characters with less shares can be kicked normally.
  • Replaced Scout Drones certificate with Medium Drones certificate on the Sacrilege.
  • Blockade Runners can now access the 'Angel Base' dungeon.

User Interface

  • Fixed issue where expanding calendar events into its own window would fail to load all events.
  • Fixed show info issue with formatting of mass for ships. Removed mass from the show info attributes for several item classes where mass has no relevance.
