Think outta the box here!!!!!!!

Atleast tease us with something.....

THEORY CRAFTING TIME:

• Attributes Removed and replaced with new mechanics

• Navigation Extension removed and all speed boosted by 20%

• Lowered effect of lightweight frames but also raised their negative effects

• Fix to module balance as some module still don't fit the 10%,15%,20% scale

• Increased armour in all classes. Balanced NPCs accordingly to lower their armour back to only slightly above what it used to be.

• Recreated the new player experience to have universal but have multiple lines for combat and industry from assignment file 2 to allow for player choice to gain industrial robots (Laird, Argano) or combat (Arkhe Mk2, Light robot for their megacorp)

• Intrusions 2.0 added. All ownership of current outposts set to 40~%

• Introduced some more assignments that aren't tested or balanced

• Fixed older assignments to be more balanced but still not tested

• Shield ratio to include robot size calculation in display of ratio

• Missile range and mining yield displays corrected

• Terrain blocking map corrected on each island because it's still not perfect and never will be

• Fixed the broken buildings on Hershfield

Nothing will be done to attributes as long as we haven't announced it beforehand.

To forego some unrealistic anticipations, it's probably the best to tell now that the patch tomorrow will be a rather small one. Mostly fixes (disconnect, highway speed skips), some smaller feature improvements (selection on radar, doubleclick for take loot, free camera option, etc.) and a few obligatory balancing changes (just a few really, we tied down one hand of Alf).

The good news is that you won't have to wait another month for the next patch, as we're wrapping up the new level2 assignment pack and a new NPC AI.

You see?   now that wasnt so hard was it?  Did it hurt?.. Did writing this take too much of your time?... no.  You dont need to give us specifics, but generalizations like this which help manage expectation is all we really want.

If you were to make more regular posts like this then maybe we wouldnt need to make wild speculations and then you wouldnt have to spend half your time running around on the forums doing damage control.
