Around 8 AM UTC (09:00 CET), game servers will restart for a game update to be deployed.
Gameplay Changes & Fixes
- Changed pilot ladder evaluation time to 00:00 / 12 AM (from 12:00 / 12 PM) server time each Monday so that pilots can see whether their efforts to reach a certain position have been successful right at the end of Sunday.
- Spawn areas on planet surfaces will now get inactive only after a delay of a few minutes without players or quest units present.
- Improvements to scorekeeping on lower-level Reactor Challenge planets; points from unit kills now accumulate correctly.
- Improvements to the logic and requirements to be counted as active player in Conquest in order to more accurately detect inactive pilots.
- Some story missions that require landing on lower tech planets now show a warning message up front to prevent pilots from playing them in Pirate Mode (because they would not be able to land with Pirate Mode enabled).
- Fixed a bug that could greatly disrupt unit behavior on Sirius ring 5 planets.
UI Changes & Fixes
- When opening the help window, the first topic on the left will now be auto-selected instead of the "Clans" topic.
- Fixed incorrect language key being displayed in starmap tooltip for Reactor Challenge planets.
- New: Tooltip now includes the end date of the challenge planet's current evaluation period.
- Changed exclamation point icon in upper left corner of Reactor Challenge scoreboard to clock face icon.
- Tooltip text was updated to actually reflect current Reactor Challenge behavior.
Other Changes & Fixes
- Fixed a potential deadlock issue that could occur in rare circumstances during the rankings ladder evaluation.
