Ship Balancing – Industrials

•  Like combat classes, industrials have been divided into roles rather than tiers.
• Each race will have one cargo-focused industrial (Tayra, Bestower, Mammoth and Iteron Mark V).
• To emphasize the removal of tiers, we have renamed several industrials.  The new names are:

• Badger Mark II becomes Tayra.
• Iteron becomes Nereus.
• Iteron Mark II becomes Kryos.
• Iteron Mark III becomes Epithal.
• Iteron Mark IV becomes Miasmos.

• Each race will have one industrial focused on travel time and resilience (Badger, Sigil, Wreathe and Nereus).
• We are also introducing industrials with specialized bays:

• The Hoarder will have a bay that carries anything in the ‘charge’ group, including ammo, bombs, nanite repair paste, cap booster charges, etc.
• The Kyros will have a dedicated bay for minerals.
• The Epithal will have a dedicated bay for planetary commodities.
• The Miasmos will have a dedicated bay for asteroid ore, ice ore and gas.

• The renaming of the Iteron Mark IV affects the special edition versions, which will all replace any occurrence of “Iteron Mark IV” with “Miasmos”.
• For a more complete explanation of the industrial changes, read this DEV blog: Rebalancing and Renaming Idustrials.

User Interface

• Sensor Overlay: Overlapping icons will now popup in a scroll-able container when hovering with the mouse, providing access regardless of clustering.
• Skills can be dragged from Prerequisite tab in Show Info windows and dropped in Training Queue or any edit field to create a link there.
• Skills from Training Queue and Character Sheet can be dropped in any edit field to create a link there.
• Drones can be launched by dragging them from the “Drones in Bay” section in the Drones window and dropping them either in space or onto the “Drones in Local Space” folder. Similarly, whole drone groups can be launched that way.
• Drones can be recalled by dragging them from the “Drones in Local Space” section in the Drones window and dropping them onto the “Drones in Bay” folder.
• Drones can be moved into groups by dragging them and dropping onto the group.
• Order of drones and groups in the Drone window has been slightly changed. Now all individual drones will be listed in alphabetical order, followed by drone groups in alphabetical order.
