NPC Cybernetics
(Planning Phase)
Description:
Allow cybernetic implants to be installed on NPCs. As opposed to players, NPC cybernetics have a chance to kill the NPC if the procedure fails (rather than install a faulty cybernetic), and cannot be removed.

Entity Cargo Overhaul (XaaC)
(Planning Phase)
Description:
Entity cargo capacity will be refactored so that things which cannot currently haul certain entities (for example, ships which lack a docking bay cannot currently haul other ships) can haul those things as “cargo”. Cargo entities will only be able to be loaded and unloaded at certain locations and with a timer involved, allowing for transportation of goods without worrying about unbalanced carriers, troop transports, etc.
Also known as XaaC (or X-as-a-Cargo).

Firing Arcs + Directional Shields
(Planning Phase)
Description:
Setup zones for things like weapons, shields, hull. This will allow some direction based changes for larger entities so not all guns can fire at once, to prevent an over powered design and a better more strategic gaming experience.

Combat - AI Overhaul (Released)
Combat - AI Overhaul (Released)
Description:
Changes to The Force to bring powers more in line with how SWC has evolved over the years. Examples include the use of squad mechanics and AI. Force skills will be reset, facets will be removed, and changes may occur to training, skill point assignment, and how being FS is discovered. Priority will be placed on development of iconic Force skills to allow basic/essential skills to be used before the system is fully implemented.

Prerequisites:
NPC Cargo Transport Phase 1 (Released)
Space Combat Expansion Phase 2 (Released)
NPC Cargo Transport Phase 1 (Released)
Space Combat Expansion Phase 2 (Released)
Description:
Step 1: NPC Cargo Transports will fulfill multiple manifest items at once, if they have enough capacity. They will still be dispatched based on the highest priority item, but if they find additional manifest items available at the source they will fulfill other manifest items which are NOT being fulfilled by another already-dispatched transport. Future transports will also check en route (returning) transports for their actual cargo when determining what manifest item to service.
Step 2: Allow NPC Cargo Transports to move raw materials to locations outside the same system. Will be limited between bases/sources in systems that are under the maximum Hyperlane length (but not limited only to Hyperlanes).
