Our first melee ion weapon has now been released the Electrostaff. Enjoy and Have fun motivating those droids.

A new ship, not tied to any canon entities, has joined our game. The Colossal-class Heavy Carrier is essentially a smaller version of the popular MTC. This is a generic ship that we have been working on for a while now and glad to bring it to the game! 

The Generic Datacard for this ship is a massive 4.5 slots so be careful with the new automated Datacard checker that you don't lose it.

Check it out at the link below!

https://www.swcombine.com/rules/?Capital_Ships&ID=253

Faction Generic Datacards
- There is now a daily job that runs and will enforce generic datacard membership requirements.

Changes:
- You can now duel wield any duel wieldable weapons (previously you could only duel wield the same type of weapon)
- You can now cancel a bacta tank healing action (if you are in the tank and conscious). Doing so will not heal you and you will lose the bacta in the process.
- Cybernetics now shows you a preview of the success chances.
- Sector rules page now shows mini galaxy map preview.

Bugs:
- Asteroid Mining Depleting Deposit crash fixed.
- Asteroid Prospecting from non-squad leader now works better.
- GPS no longer operates when in hyperspace (it didn't previously work in hyperspace, it just acted like it did)
- Asteroid prospecting events are now sent to more people.
- Fixes to facility construction not moving certain things out of the way.
- HP and XP transaction sheets are now more detailed, and Force XP sheet is split from XP and shown on its own page (for new events only).
- Fix Crash when protecting/transferring stocks.
- Faction Stock now costs a flat 100,000 credits to protect/unprotect (Previously cost nothing).
- There's been some changes to how infantry squads are stored in the database, expect future bugs with this change.
- Workaround for a crash when sharing scanners with NPCs who were holding items with corrupt locations.
- Fix Force Speed ability
- Force page now more mobile friendly
- Show stats page now shows location and has travel planner destination button.
- Fix bacta tank parties occuring.
- Fix IFF page multiple entry.
- Fix an infinite XP exploit (Thanks to the unrelatedly swoll Jic)
- Income no longer shown on galaxy map pages and other pages (The value previously shown was the meaningless tax income value, and was removed many years ago and entirely unrelated to any FI income)
- Red/Green/Blue Flash messages no longer occlude buttons behind.
- Some missing Station IFF images were added.

Rules updates:
- Asteroid field damage rules are more detailed.
- Jetpack rules
- Datacard rules

The GPS item can now be used to tell you how many deposits (revealed and unrevealed) exist within an asteroid field. Simply interact with the item while in a field to get the answer.

Faction Advisory Panels

New feature that allows shared ownership of factions. An FAQ and better instructions will be written up about this feature later in the week.
There's a new faction privilege called "Can view panel requests", the leader of the faction will need to visit the privileges page to ensure it is updated properly.

Asteroid Mining

Asteroid Mining part 1 has been released. Feel free to jump in and try it.
Part 2 will come later on that will make it slightly less tedious.
There's no faction restrictions on this form of asteroid mining, so anyone can perform it either for themselves or their faction.

Jetpacks & Force Speed

Jetpacks and Force Speed have been reworked. Now provide a timed buff increase to travel speed.
Jetpacks in particular let you travel over buildings while active.
Jetpacks running out while over a building hurts alot, ouch.
(We're sorting out an issue with people that used the old actions while the sync happened)

Asset Tag Corruption

There was recently a bug with asset tagging where the asset tag assignment may have been cleared. This probably affected you although it looked normal. You need to re-add your asset tag associations are on the faction inventory tags page (and your personal one).
(Looking into fixing it permanently with some database wizardry).

Changes:

- Emails have been removed from a lot of places in the game UI.
- Asset tagging had some major database changes
- Vision changes: ships in unmanned squads no longer provide vision. Only actively piloted squads will provide shared sensors.
- Ships, vehicles, stations, facilities that are: Under construction, wrecked, disabled, unpowered no longer provide sensors.
- Facilities, stations, and satellites will passively share sensors, and do not need to be piloted.
- Fixed crashes relating to assets blocking construction sites work.
- Race selection in character creation back to being alphabetical order
- Removed darkness and quests from join requests selection.
- Fixed an issue with location coords of raw materials when inside squadded entity
- Added code to help fix corrupt locations that occur after city/planet/system moving by admins
- NPC Shops can no longer be wrecks
- Materials cannot be loaded into fighters/gunboats (this was already an existing rule) but some code didn't handle it properly. That code has had a stern talking to.
- The red, green, blue messages shown on pages will now show at top of screen if you receive one when scrolled down.
- Asset protection now generates fewer events.
- The inventory action "toggle" asset protection has been removed.
- The summary inventory page now shows any applied filters.
- Fixed a bug where inventory assign reason would not show up.
- Fixed a bug where debt would not be cleared after purchasing from market.
- Fixed a bug where regular mining events would not be sent.
- Salary page now accepts numbers with commas in them, fixed salary page showing errors when successfully paying salaries.
- Can add multiple IFF entries at once on IFF screen.
- Fixed some filters on credit transactions page
- Fixed relative links in the factions menu
- When purchasing multiple items from an NPC shop, they will now be supplied in an item crate for you by the kind shopkeeper.

Y21 D144 Evan Edit: As promised, the prospecting sensors we temporarily granted to the light freighters have been removed. Please refer to the Rules for ships with sensors capable of prospecting asteroid fields.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

CP SHIPS HAVE BEEN CHANGED!

Disclaimer: Stats will not be changed from player input. CP ships are not meant to be amazing. CP Ships are not on a set schedule and may change any time. 

Edit: Spacelane Diner was close to our hearts and was always a special little ship. So... we couldn't let it go into the abyss quietly. See your local generic dealers and party on. (If you were hoarding these for resale, I'm sorry for your loss)

While the Porgs have graced our CP exchange for a while now, it is time for a change.

Have you ever wanted to milk a creature? Do you fancy yourself a rancher? Then this new creature is for you!

On interacting with your new Thala-Siren, by pressing the talk button, you can choose to milk it once every 2 days. Make sure you're the owner though or maybe it'll swat at you.

Make sure to collect your milk afterwards!

Edit: By popular demand, Banthas can now be milked once every 3 days.

Faction Requests

There is a new feature available to factions and faction owners.
Anyone with "view" inventory privileges can send faction requests. A request is a set of assets plus an inventory action (asset assignment, asset makeover, asset unprotection).
These requests can be seen and executed by people with appropriate privileges (assign privs, makeover privs or faction ownership).

You can raise requests via inventory actions, or access the list of requests from the factions menu.

Known issues:
- Error when "reason" field is left blank (Workaround: Put a non-empty reason in)

Bugs:

- Faction owner page reworked, in particular now it is less heavy to load when owning a lot of stocks.
- There is a new faction privilege "Can see Faction Status Overview" (leaders will need to assign this new privilege to people to use it)
- Fix crash on messages when trying to send message to purged character
- Removed "Lack of Interest" faction dissolution condition (it was never used)
- Fixed faction forum "infofield" permission checking
- You can now only see inventory actions you have privileges to do
- Assigning faction asset tags via inventory checked incorrect privs (now requires Assign Tags priv)
- Protecting assets via owner screen now generates batch events rather than one event per asset

Other Changes:

Maybe new issues with the following features:
- Faction Privileges storage major rework
- Asset Tags storage major rework
- Ctools rework

Y21 D108 Edit from Evan: Someone made a great tool that lets us delay the expiration of asteroid deposits. We've added more time to all deposits and will continue to do so until the full feature release of asteroid mining so that you can prospect without fear of your efforts going to waste. Be sure to thank Noctis!

Look and Feel:

- Viewport options (the default width/zoom for pages on phones) are now configurable on the Look and Feel screen.
It's device specific so find a setting that works for your mobile if you don't like the defaults.

- Who Is Online page now more mobile friendly.
The Who Is Online page now has a quick link to send a message to players who have joined recently. This link will populate the message screen only with players handles who you have not already sent a message to.
The Search Profiles link in the right menu now links to the Who Is Online page.

- Improvement to the Credit Transaction sheet, made Mobile friendly, and some simple filtering ability added.

- The "overhanging header" issue on mobile has been fixed by moving the page layout to CSS Grid. Hopefully everybody is using a browser updated in the last decade.

Bugs:

- Fixed a bug with sector bounding coordinates in deep space.
- Unpowered warning shown on cockpit when inside an unpowered facility.
- Shield Gen and CCC cockpit functionality now does not function when unpowered (previously they did).
- Fixed Shield gens not shutting down when PG recycled.
- Fixed some issues with travel planner triggering when inside immobile things (stations/facilities)
- City creation events now linkified, taxes event has had information leakage reduced, and no taxes are returned for hidden cities.
- A bug with our HTML parser (used anywhere HTML is accepted) has been fixed to avoid extra list elements showing up.
- Fixed a bug on rules pages showing some hidden cities at 0,0.
- Hidden cities that you have privileges to see should now show up on the planet deposits inventory.
- Fixed an issue with faction dissolution hanging due to multiple join requests.
- Join requests page now shows a warning if you have no HQ/unpowered HQ.
- Faction join requests no longer expose the player's email address.
- Changed how multiple inventory filters stack again (so it prefers includes over excluding again).
- Fixed XSS on LISP Script Modules
- Added specific error for LISP variable names too long (max of 32 characters)
- Facility construction from city permissions now can edit the facility name on the construction confirm page.
- Fixed XSS on messages screens. Fixed issue with message impersonation. Messages from non-character sources should show specifically what they have been sent from if not a character.
- Scanner screen repair droid button added.
- Planet image max width on rules pages is 300px.

WS:

- WS Credit Limits removal

As part of the GE / NR situation ~40 datacards have now been made generic, after discussions with the parties involved.  I will likely edit this later to list them out but enjoy.

Also as part of this we are going to being doing an audit of the generics datacards assigned to factions to ensure that that are not overallocated. This will be starting likely in 2 weeks, so please clean up your stuff before then on your own otherwise we will just remove the highest slot values first until you get under the limit, and other things might happen as well in addition to that such as but not limited to fines, removal of more generics from you, get attacked by vicious attack porgs that Baugrems has been training in secret for just such an occasion.

The List

Website on Mobiles
- Tweaked how the website displays on mobiles. If you liked the older layout width better on your phone, go to your browsers page settings and enable "Use Desktop Site".

Asteroid Prospecting
- Asteroid prospecting now gives you XP, hooray!
- Asteroid prospecting now spams your cockpit events with more events, hooray!
- You can now issue a queued move into prospecting order from the map context menu. This is queueing behaviour is handled by travel planner, and should make asteroid prospecting more chill.
- This also works with planet based prospecting when you are at atmosphere level. Basically only for FK-7 squads though, so probably not as useful as its counterpart.
- Rules for asteroid mining should be released with next sync, and asteroid mining itself still on track to be released before all the juicy Y-8s are finished.

Travel Planner
- There is now an icon in the Inventory to populate the travel plan to a given asset's location.
- Additionally, the mishmash of icons in inventory have been cleaned up and moved to their own column, wow much clean.
- Fixed an issue where travel planner had an irrational fear of travelling on diagonals.

Bugs & Fixes
- Fixed an issue where a regular faction member with privs could expel the 2IC. 2IC is a privileged spot, only the leader can remove or expel the 2IC. (This particular issue was thought to be fixed many years ago, recent events made us re-test this).
- Improved information on skill allocate screen when below skill category minimums.
- Fixed an issue where entities with no ionic cap were permanently disabled. Entities with no base ionic cap cannot be disabled.
- Fixed an issue where cutting power to factories that were producing things was ineffective.
- Fixed an issue with Inventory filters: Some filters when combined together with themselves would generate the wrong results e.g. the "powered" filter.
- Fixed an issue where sometimes you could not see hidden cities on the galaxy map, related to how the city was assigned and owned.
- Fixed an issue with how identifiers for datacards are assigned.
- An issue where you could purchase multiple duplicate generic datacards has been fixed (maybe).
- The cockpit map context menu has been rewritten to allow it to be more hip and dynamic.
- Fixed a bug with deep space sector calculations, relating to sector borders/vertices. Deep space sectors are still cosmetic only.

Edit Y21D29

A follow up sync has fixed some regressions caused in the above sync. Forum quotes, station construction, and NPC skill point assigning should all be fixed.

Additionally, a new feature has been added to the scanner interface, where players and NPCs will now show a Heal option if they are injured and you are able to heal them. This is automatic, and will use the most powerful healing item you have equipped to your character. Healing is also still accessible from the Equipment page. More suggestions for quality of life changes such as this are welcome; the next option on this screen will likely be Repair for droids.

With the latest sync, we are happy to announce a new feature that many of you have requested: Asteroid Mining!

You can find the rules for the current implementation here: Asteroid Mining Rules

Additionally, a new, related ship has arrived! Introducing the Y-8 Mining Vessel:

For now, please consider this feature in Open Beta; as such, values and mechanics are subject to change. To begin, we have released the ability to prospect for materials in asteroid fields. The ability to actually mine the found resources will be released in a future sync, but we wanted to give you all a chance to get started finding your precious, precious RMs!

As outlined in the Asteroid Mining Rules, only ships equipped with Mining Sensors are capable of prospecting for raw materials in asteroid fields. To help people jump into this new features, we have TEMPORARILY given mining sensors to all generic light freighters. On or about February 1st, 2020, the mining sensors may or may not be removed from those generic light freighters. For now, the only ship guaranteed to have mining sensors after February 1st is the Y-8 Mining Vessel.

Again, the mining sensors for the generic light freighters are temporary!

For those that like to plan ahead, you should expect the Y-8 Mining Vessel to play a critical role in the actual mining operations of asteroid fields, as well as the use of depot stations. More details will be released later, but hopefully that's enough to get your ol' noggin churning for now.

Special thanks to Clarr for his work on this, please send him all your love.

As promised, the administration has completed their audit of factions using Generic DCs. Those that were utilizing more slots than their memberbase could support had DCs removed until they were in compliance. For those factions that were particularly egregious, a credit penalty was also applied.

Please remember that the intention behind the Generic DC feature is to reward factions capable of providing engaging content and a community capable of supporting a larger number of members with the ability to expand their own manufacturing offerings. The intention is not to get enough friends to join for just long enough to acquire the desired DCs before going back to whatever group to which they truly belong.

If you have any questions, please contact your friendly neighborhood ASim (keyword is "friendly," so I obviously mean Noctis).

EDIT:  Because of the positive response, we will be conducting these audits randomly going forward - there will be no warning when they begin.  Be mindful of the requirements; and the numbers will be those at the time of the audit.  The fines may or may not increase each audit.

Year 21 Day 113, 7:37 Evan has changed a players handle: Lencher Gand to Lencher Chynnre.

I want to take this moment to thank Noctis for his support and enabling me to contribute, however small it may be, to the success of this community. Next time you see him roaming the halls of Discord, be sure to give him a gentle nod of appreciation.

Year 21 Day 102, 21:41 Noctis banned player Khazz Sada providing the following reason: Multi Ban; Failing to register as multis.

As always, for any questions or concerns, contact Evan.

Baugrems banned player Xeno River providing the following reason: Multi Ban

Year 21 Day 97, 21:07

Baugrems banned player Castor Cage providing the following reason: Multi Ban

3 Month Ban (2nd Combine Offense) - Castor can request unban via support ticket at that time. Illegal multi will not be unbanned nor will future multis be allowed.

Year 21 Day 100, 8:44

Baugrems banned player Kai Tykha providing the following reason: Misinformation to Administration

 2

Year 21 Day 100, 8:42

Baugrems unbanned Xeno River (the reason was: Multi Ban).

 3

Year 21 Day 100, 8:42

Baugrems unbanned Castor Cage (the reason was: Multi Ban).

It isn't often that people get away with trying to use admins as a weapon. Usually it is easy to spot and the cases are weak. This time, I have to admit I was wrong and acted on information that was manufactured to look just right. I apologize for the confusion to the pair who got banned for it. It should go without saying that trying to accuse others of OOC misdoings in order to "get one over" on an enemy is NOT okay. While many were involved and fell into the bandwagon of hatred/accusations that were untrue, only one party seems to be the core. So all that said, Kai Tykha can request an unban after 4 weeks of downtime.

One person with 2 seperate accounts; attempting to make a 3rd.  The oldest of the two accounts can request reinstatement in 4 weeks.

Edit: Due to attempting to create a 4th account, ban has been extended to 2 months, that's all.

2	Year 20 Day 133, 13:15	Baugrems banned player Maia Yen providing the following reason: Multi Ban

Yet again proving that we can't have nice things. As a second (third? idk) offense, this is a permanent ban. (See I know where the ban button is still)

Year 21 Day 84, 19:57 Noctis banned player Sylvein Iego providing the following reason: Multi Ban

Just adding to the list.

 1 Year 21 Day 76, 19:47 Noctis banned player Dav Koor providing the following reason: Multi Ban.

 2 Year 21 Day 73, 21:20 Noctis banned player Ho Pihe providing the following reason: Multi Ban; Failing to register and coming under control of a single player.

Greetings everyone.  As administration continues to work toward improvements and changes, NR leadership was re-established in the meantime.  This does not mean that final decisions have been made regarding the GE win.  As with the spirit of the button press to make the game better, we do not want players left in limbo for extended periods of time as changes oftentimes take.

For questions or concerns, please contact Evan.

A discord server has been created between Seele, the Administration, and those interested in obtaining the shell of rebel datacards, lands, etc. The admin role is moderation and assistance at this time. To get an invite, please contact Baugrems on Discord (Baugrems#5197). Read the rules below before requesting access or I will ignore you/shame you.

Purpose: The Galactic Summit is an OOC conference to discuss moving forward with the critical story element of the anti-GE portion of the SWC community. With the seizure of the New Republic faction by the Galactic Empire, the SWC community must discuss options for managing the former-NR datacards, assets, and territory. The summit seeks to bring the directly involved parties together and reach a consensus of what the anti-GE power bloc in the game will look like, including leadership, where technology and assets will be distributed, and how the IU and anti-GE blocs can progress SWC's story.

Rules for the Galactic Summit:

1. Discussions are strictly OOC. We will discuss IC things and reasonings, but we are interacting as players, not as characters.

2. Be respectful to one another. This is a sensitive topic and it's not a nice thing to have occurred, but name-calling, vitriol, and rage will earn a ban.

3. You must have a direct interest in the discussion to be here. This is not a place for tourists and spectators, we need to discuss serious things and we don't need a peanut gallery.

4. Political "parties" or Factions may only have two (2) representatives each. We want to hear a diversity of thoughts and interests, but not have things drowned out by an alliance turning up with all of their nationalised factions.

5. No proposals or debates regarding game-mechanics. This isn't the place to specifically pitch ideas to the Administration or come up with game mechanics.

Message should include your handle, faction/group, role in said group, and a two sentence summary of your Rebel proposal.

The administration is working diligently around the clock reviewing improvement ideas and possible changes related to the game winning button push.

If you would like contribute to the discussion, you can post here.

If you have any questions, you may contact Baugrems again.  (Multiple DMs may be necessary, keep trying.)

WINNER!!!

Congrats to Kez for just scraping out a win against Dac in the latest Deathmatch. You may claim your free hug from your nearest Baugrems.

A whole new tournament has begun! And some fun grudge matches are up, too. Be sure to vote and submit new ideas for grudge matches!

Death Match

GRUDGE MATCHES!

Starting November 1st October 25th, I will be moving back to the player side of the game. It's been a good 3 years but it is time for a break to go play. I'm wrapping up all my tickets/work these last 2 weeks so don't expect me to pick up new things for you. Check with the rest of the team instead (please). 

For any LISP/Quest related questions speak to Noctis.

Otherwise bug Evan/Erek directly. And repeatedly.

Rounds advanced! The winner gets a free hug from Baugrems! May the Force be with you all...

Go vote! Or else! Submit more matches too! 

Death Match

GRUDGE MATCHES!

1 Year 20 Day 245, 16:02 Baugrems banned player Kyota Navic providing the following reason: Spying

6 month ban for using and encouraging others to use a script to pull discord channel logs and info. This resulted in massive sharing of ooc info and is not an acceptable way to use communication mediums. It is NOT and never has been approved by the swc administration. If you feel pressured to use a program to spy, don’t do it.
