Character Animation

An issue when running with the cutting tool was fixed. Although, our mothers still advise against it

Ships & SRVs

SRV helm audio will no longer be replicated across crew members

Deployed vessels will retain their ship owner ID as intended

Camera angles for the livery screen on the Scorpion SRV were adjusted

A detailing issues on the Azure paint job on the Asp Explorer’s was fixed

Interactions

Gravity will be re-enabled at Guardian Sites so that caskets no longer float

A quantum-physics issue allowing multiple players collecting the same item was fixed

Factions

The Pirate Attack faction state will now:

No longer trigger when only criminal factions are present in a starsystem

Temporarily make weapon commodities legal in most jurisdictions

Cause factions to lose influence to criminal factions present in that starsystem

Criminal factions will no longer experience active security states and their Security Points will lock at 0

Odyssey settlements controlled by criminal factions will now prefer to export commodities (at the usual favourable pricing) that are illegal in other jurisdictions. Their exports will return to normal if control changes to other faction types

Odyssey settlements that were incorrectly exporting Meta Alloys will no longer do so

Incorrectly negative faction consequences when selling salvaged commodities for a relatively low value were fixed

The Black Market station service will now activate when the controlling faction has an active Civil Unrest state

Faction consequences from selling commodities are now based on satisfying available demand at the Commodity Market

You can now support a faction by buying commodities from it, based upon satisfying available supply at its Commodity Market

When buying and selling, it’s generally more positive to a faction to satisfy a higher supply and demand (green 3-bar icon) than a lower (red 1-bar icon), and it’s generally more positive to trade more expensive commodities than cheaper ones

Horizons

A crash when selecting the engineering panel from a ship was fixed

A crash caused by entering the permit locked-HIP 54530 system was fixed
