Subj: Ship Updates

Some updates on ships since the last release:
+ Immersion's damage has been reduced.
+ The new empathic commuciation channels will be heard by everyone on
the ship receiving the communication rather than only the other empath.
+ GRID MODULES can be done while docked.
+ Aetherbeasts had their damage reduced to counterbalance the new
additional damage they now do to modules.
+ Modules will regenerate and heal afflictions while docked, though it
is a tad slow, especially if you have tons of modules.

Penned by My hand on the 21st of Kiani, in the year 158 CE.

Cool, solves all concens I had except the biggest one, that being that a ship with a trans combateer can blow up the command module of a ship that doesn't have a mythical empath, and then fly away, leaving the ship to just kinda.... sit there..... forever.... unable to do anything.... Just because their empath was only fabled, or because they had noone with Empath, just two trans commanders and three trans combateers.

Thankyou!

I'm pretty sure the main problem with ships will be finding enough combateers not empaths, most people I know are picking empath/commander, for the obvious reasons(deepbond off prime, or faster ship movement + flash points.)

As for sitting there forever, with aether beasties I doubt that would ever happen. Anarias and I were out helping Elryn finish up his mapping the other day and for so long we were -trying- to find a place without aetherbeasties attacking us (so we could just sit for a bit), it took awhile.

Thanks guys, this helps a lot.

Yes. Good changes, all.

Yes, thanks!

My ship can heal now..
