* New: CEOs, Deputy CEOs, PR and HR managers now receive operator status in gamma terminal channels, and are able to change the topic.

Does this work for anyone? I have one report that it doesn't.

No where in your patch notes do you mention spawning combat mobs with an indi spawn.  And if this were a "Fix" you mean to tell me that indi beacons were supposed to spawn combat mobs from the start *** off.  Wasting peoples time with this ***.

Yes starred indy beacons have always spawned 3 combat bots as the first wave, otherwise it would be a zero-effort turkey shoot. This was broken in 3.7 and fixed in 3.7.1.

Re: Scheduled server downtime - 2015-12-02

forgive me for only playing for a year, as to my knowledge they have never spawned combats.  idk how what patch it was that started playing but i know for a year it hasn't been like this.  Has this gone unnoticed for, i'm gonna assume, 4 years?

If you say that starred indy beacons only spawned 1 single indy officer, then yes, it was broken since whenever.

Re: Scheduled server downtime - 2015-12-02

So they've been broken since forever, you never tested it because you never play your own game.  And all of a sudden oh it's fixed... Yes Fix it jesus.  You know zoom there's a reason vets hate dealing with you fixing this game.  GL man i'll sit here quietly in the corner and watch the brass on the titanic.

TBH you should buff the reward on TAPs significantly anyway, there's no reason whatsoever to bother doing them over missions.

TAPs will be reworked once we're done with the NPC reworks and they can use the new random spawns.

I did a lot stared Indy beacons, and the wave was always either one sequer (light) or one Lithus (mech) in the last ~2 years

Can you check the upgrade rates on the 1star to 2star industrial beacons?  The don't seem to be the same as the faction ones (MUCH less).

Sorry ...the drop rates of 2 star industrial beacons from the officers from the 1 star industrial beacons, they seem a lot less than the faction beacons.

It's the same actually, 20% for all starred beacons.

Re: Scheduled server downtime - 2015-12-02

Zoom the reason Indy beacons never spawned combat was due to the ewar/enwar on all the Indy bots.  It's buried here in the forums.

Re: Scheduled server downtime - 2015-12-02

During the last patch, we lost 2 epi fields on Hokk, we are down from 5 to 3.  Was this done intentionally as I did not see it on the patch notes?
