    It says in the notes Modified position of Shield Generator 2 due to an issue that caused it to occasionally spawn inside a rock.. The Shield Generator never spawned in the rock, it was the South mortar would spawn inside the rocks.

    Powerboards and Floaters can now be used from the inventory.

    Thank you! This was so needed. Would be nice to see Frosty Boots added. :smile:

      If you close and re-open the ship customizer after the first time of opening it your custom appearance should finally load.

      Ship Tailor Status: STILL BROKEN

      Time Broken: THREE MONTHS

      Anger Level: INCREASING

      What helps more than anger is constructive problem solving. :tongue:

      If you're talking about the bug where the tailor loads up a default appearance instead of your customizations, just back out when this happens and load up the tailor again. Second go should work just fine. (does for me every time)

      Also, general recommendation: the way to bring up bugs is to assume the devs haven't heard of them before, rather than referring to it by some name you've chosen (it's possible for things to slip the net or fall off a list of priorities.) But that said, the patch notes thread isn't necessarily the best place to report them (time and a place). So, head on over to the support forums. If it's been a while since the issue was fist reported, report it again.

      Be thorough with your description (include full repro steps) but concise with how you phrase it. Extra clutter and personal reactions simply makes it harder for a dev to discern what the problem is. There's no guarantee that you'll get a fix in the near term (there's not always time) but it'll give your bug report the best chance it can possibly have.

      to add to this as discussed in the foundry forums, getting angry while understandble is not the way to go here, unless you know for a fact what exact piece of code is causing the issue, how to fix that issue without causing problems elsewhere and that Cryptic knowns how to fix it but hasn't out of spite (all of which are very unlikely as in the chance of them happening is so low this post would be nothing but zeroes if I typed out the chance of it being the case), there's no reason to rage. MMOs are complex peice of coding with many piece that interact in ways that aren't obvious for a layman.

      It is possible and indeed quite likely that reason the bug hasn't been fixed yet is that problem is more complex then you think it is and it's not a simple flip of a switch.

      As for the Foundry if I read right the editor is still down but Foundry play is up.

      Is the Bug Team still working on the Phaser Transfer bug?

      Is the shadow generation fix related to Lighting 2.0?

      Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.p3OEBPD6HU3QI.jpg

      PvP scoreboard? This has been reported for over a year, why is it not among the known issues?

      Good patch overall and that powerboard change is EPIC.

      Plus if the colony sim truly is back then that is really good news. Time to get back into the fight!
