Post Server and client patches March 15 - April 8
Additions:

- Added “breadcrumb” mission for enigmatic sector line of missions
- Added BP for new weapon Pulsius Sharpshooter
- Added new player ship and new AI ship
- Added new zerker only energy source
- Added optional extraction limits for hydroponics type items
- Added some more helpful error messages to shield healers and energy boosters
- Added suffix list for UrQa (for their names)
- Allowed players to always place bases in galaxies adjacent to their territory
- Two new weapons added

Changes:

* Adjusted some wildness for next universe
* Adjusted the Uber Reaver
* Beefed Protection of Tobal shield by quite a bit
* Changed tutorial starting point to less than level 3
* Edited fighter missions a bit.
* Got rid of the tractor on the battle sphere
* Improved the combined base augmenters
* Improved the map load when you log in to be 10 times faster
* Increased space blue gamma hull from 540 to 600 to make them cappable.
* Increased the visiablity of the flylets in the starting galaxy. Players were complaining they couldn't find any to kill.
* Made Fly Pellets projectiles slightly less massive.
* Made it so the “Welcome to SS, here’s the help channel” message only comes to you if you're less than level 20 (Greeters and mods will no longer see that message when they log in)
* Made permanent drones not require ship tech to deploy (only temp drones)
* Reduced amount of psion icicles needed for cooling terraforming. Increased credit cost a bit
* Removed shield regeneration on guardian for his berserker tweak
* Removed some gal names which were only for this one universe

Bug Fixes:

# Added a check to prevent missile launchers from getting confused about how many missiles are currently launched and alive by the owning player

# Fixed expiring auras
# Fixed horoscopist Thorax to use Seer skill instead of quilting skill.
# Fixed MiscOverloader::GetStatString() output. It was producing redundant overloader stats in the string output.
# Fixed neurobound on fighters

# Prevented players from unequipping or removing too many expansions
# Prevented w4 galaxies being sent from the HQ to characters that don't have them mapped
# Push galaxies revealed by HQ onto the sending stack if they are still sending map one by one so your map doesn’t get messed up if you dock with the HQ and get new gals while your currently known gals are still sending
# Removed duplicate “crux” in galnames
