So do we get Astral Travel skill points back automatically, or do we have to do a reset?

right now its only a client side tweak (client just dont give a damn about it), but once a full server patch is done, the points will be automatically refunded.

Can the players who have it currently get to keep 1 level? As a token of our Old-ness

it wont disapear from your list (and will still be in ai base with max level 0 till new uni). It just will be worth 0 skillpoints

Actually, never-mind the wont refund skillpoints part, i found the revision in which this change was added and merged it in for the micropatch. Although it was done last minute so i cant guarantee it will work, it shouldn't affect / risk anything even if it doesn't.

So we will keep our current skill levels and sp investment in the skill?

the skill is now 100% useless, so there is no reasons for it to cost / be worth any sp anymore.

Nothing will change on your skill list, the skill will still be listed. But should not be obtainable anymore starting next uni (maybe even this uni, i can't remember which part of the data is saved with the uni on that side).

And since its now worth 0 sp, the sp refund system will give you your sp back next time you log. At least, thats the theory.

sorry about the mess with the patchbot. I had to push an update on it as well, but it got screwy with the patch requests coming up at the same time. It will be fixed within the next minutes or so.

* Missions now autocomplete when you dock at the ending station.

This looks dangerous when I'm carrying a bunch of mission items

Yea sometimes you don't want to finish missions. Lol.

Thanks for the fix but the strange 'blank' slots in Ui menus appear to remain for some reason. Dunno if its just me

We talked about this and decided that the benefit for new players having their missions automatically complete when docked outweighs any strange desire to keep completed missions open by older players.

Also, this feature only works if you only have 1 completed mission at the base. If you show up to Lyceum with a ton of Diploma missions completed, you'll still have to manually complete them.

Dont like that change either, its not so strange that players dont want to complete missions as soon as possible, all of the strontium-90 kill missions i usually wait until theres an xp bonus. Other missions the ship im in like my combat ship i dont want to have cluttered with extra mission rewards.

What happens when you have no space for reward?

Could we get a toggle (enabled by default for the newbies) as a compromise that suits all? :3
