Event Preparations

Changes to Speed Boosters in Pirate Mode

Speed Boosters now remain active even when Pirate Mode is activated.
- A running Speed Booster gets deactivated for the player that performs an offensive PvP action.
- A deactivated Speed Booster is re-enabled 2 minutes after the player last performed an offensive PvP action.

Changes to Colossus Battle Event Scheduling

Added a proper tech rotation queue to ensure all system techs will come up properly in time.
Next Colossus battle event information is now shown 5 minutes after the last battle event has ended.

Order-Into-Chaos Changes

In the hangar, the drones you own are now sorted first by name, then by level.
During shop promotions, items are now sorted first by item category, then price, then name.
Sorting streamlined in the item store. Most noticable on the Drones tab which was not properly sorted before.

Other Changes

The hit point and velocity bonuses of Parsec ships have been increased from 20% to 25%, bringing Parsecs in line with RavenDynamics ships.
Fixed a bug to make sure that spaceships are protected from damage and not attackable when in transition between zones. (Resulting in Pods in Orbit)
Fixed Ancient Allies Cover items not being marked as "Ancient" items and thus using the wrong color scheme for their icons.
Reworded a few texts where star systems' stargate names had been shortened to "[system name] gate".
increased HP of Bobcat by 10% & speed dropped by 4%, which was overdue since raven event in february.
increased HP of Flying Fox by 10% & speed dropped by 4%, which was overdue since raven event in february.
