** Patch Watch has been postponed to tomorrow **

Alpha 4.1.1 - Patch Watch - | It’s The Little Things…

Refineries

We’ve made a number of targeted improvements to the mining gameplay loop in Alpha 4.1.1, including adjusting mining lasers and their modules, improving difficulty scaling, better minable distribution for FPS and vehicle mining, better ROC and ATLS GEO handling

Components Balance Pass

We’ve rebalanced ship components based on their class types in Alpha 4.1.1. (full list in the spectrum post)

New Wikelo Currency and Emporium Expanded

New rewards are available through Wikelo’s missions! You’ll also find new items that our Banu friend is especially eager to collect:

  • Juvenile Valakkar Fangs
  • Guild Scrips
  • Ace Helmets

Improved Looting

We’ve polished the looting interaction: the “F” prompt will now smoothly appear on the closest available item or corpse you’re looking at, without the need to wiggle around to find the right angle.

Argo RAFT

The Argo RAFT has received several changes, resulting in a slight adjustment to its cargo capacity. To improve loading and unloading, the three cargo arms have been replaced by a single cargo grid, now supporting 192 SCU.

Invictus Launch Week 2955 FAQ

(Some questions omitted for brevity and because you likely know the answer already)

How do I get to the Aegis Idris tour?

  • During Invictus Launch Week, you can tour an Aegis Idris, so step onboard this iconic ship and feel the military might of the UEE! To join the Aegis Idris Experience, head to IO-North Tower (accessible via ArcCorp Plaza), where you will find the Idris docked at the very top. This is an unguided, self-serviced tour, so you can take your time and explore this behemoth at your leisure!

Besides checking out ships and the Aegis Idris Experience, what else is there to do at Invictus Launch Week?

  • There are activities galore for pilots of all experience levels to participate in. Aspiring pilots can learn the ropes in the UEE Training Exercises (and unlock a reward while doing so), while seasoned flyers can take on high-stakes missions designed to push their limits and show what they’re really made of. For those looking to pad their wallets while in the expo halls, keep your eyes open for scrips; these can be turned in to the Mercenary Guild or the Council for a nice chunk of change.

Where can I see the UEE fleet?

  • The Navy’s fearsome fleet is needed elsewhere and is currently out for deployment. It won’t be making an appearance this Invictus Launch Week.

Will there be Warbond Daily Deals available?

  • Yes! Check back each day throughout the event to see what’s available. Each Warbond Daily Deal will run for 24 hours only. This year’s Finale (May 26, 16:00 UTC - May 27, 20:00 UTC) will include a refresh with new Warbond Deals that will feature only at this time for select manufacturers and a few select offers from prior days may return.

Will there be a Drake DefenseCon this year?

  • No. Word on the street is that Drake Interplanetary has… overstayed their welcome on ArcCorp. But, true to form, Drake has found a way to let everyone test-fly their ships on Day 11 of Invictus Launch Week. You can rent them just like you would ships from any other manufacturer.

Stock-Limited Ship Sale Schedule

During this year’s event, we’re making available limited quantities of the following stock-limited ships:

  • Aegis Idris-P
  • Aegis Javelin
  • RSI Constellation Phoenix
  • Drake Kraken
  • Drake Kraken Privateer

Each stock-limited ship is limited to 1 per account and will be available in three waves to cover as many global time zones as possible. Please note that depending on your time zone, Wave 2 and 3 may occur the next calendar day.

▲ Wave 1: 4:00 PM in your local time

▲ Wave 2: 12:00 AM in your local time

▲ Wave 3: 8:00 AM in your local time

► Starting on May 15 (ILW Day 1): Aegis Idris-P, Aegis Javelin

► Starting on May 25 (ILW Day 11): Drake Kraken, Drake Kraken Privateer

Nicou-CIG:

As we move closer to the LIVE release of Alpha 4.1.1, we want to let you know that the issue causing equipped items and armor to disappear has been resolved.

This means you no longer need to stow your equipment before logging out. We’ll be monitoring things closely in case any outliers pop up. Put your clothes back on!
