The bug boils down to this: the time when you started a resetting mission wasn't saved anywhere, and the start time would be set to the server start time on server starts.

Strontium-90 missions use the same system as the Olympus dailies, just Strontium-90's missions have a 3 week reset whereas Olympus dailies reset daily.

The server rarely hits 3 weeks of continuous uptime, but it did on Saturday so the missions expired and reset, just like if you leave the Olympus dailies for 24 hours.

We'll be making it so that the Strontium-90 missions don't forcibly abandon themselves if you take too long and instead make them work how they do when our server does manage three weeks of up time.

lol you guys have no faith in your game. "It'll never hit 3 weeks!"

I think it was always meant to be a you have 3 weeks to do this sort of thing, but then it never hit 3 weeks so it became an understood you have forever to do these missions at your leisure by the time we found out the timer exists.

Good ideas , maybe we'll see the panther pvp mob come back to the game and bring some life

I've had a look through the wiki and these are my findings for things that will be obviously borked:

Speed Demons / Seers
1. Panthers (Panther Ambush is simply too strong with better augs)
2. Argh/AWC

Zerker:
1. Pos wave (as strong as KAW if not stronger and definitly better than subhattas)
2. Just gonna go ahead and list this here: Unforge combined with high tech resist augs this can become a monster in any B/PvB.

Engineer:
1. Testudo line (not better than samgras or KADs but very powerful nonetheless)

Shield Monkeys:
1. Assault Behemoth+ (This ship will be really pretty insane with T22 augs. The inbuilt mods it gets are ridiculously strong and the inbuilt trans resist it has will make up for the lack of inbuilt shield regen)
2. Heph Machines (I get the feeling these will be better than botht he bhisaj and the KWD even with 3 augs)

Gunner:
1. RPW (nearly as good if not better than the bana king)

Fleet Commander:
1. Zeus Throne

My thoughts.

I hope the aug slot thing doesn't give any ship more augs. That would absolutely break some ships that have 1 aug in return for high natural bonuses.

The ones that immediately pop into mind are the Heaven's Descent getting +2 augs, Ancient Scout getting +2 augs, Super Phunka getting +2 augs, and the Zebu Titan getting +1 aug.

Don't know how overpowered they have the potential to be though.

This is going to be amazing, specially for things like oly and subspace. All chat will be such a friendly place! Those days will most likely see a spike in activity. Wooooooo!

Ships won't gain aug slots.

Ship upgrades is simply the dumbest idea after release of C2.

I do not like the sound of ship upgrades. Sounds like a lot more trouble than it's worth.

Panther wouldn't as OP as people think. Panther ambush is 100% dmg. Perilous Strength is +80% dmg.

Pax Levitas looks cool at t22.

Those ship upgrades needs more thought. Just flat + 1 tech and max aug slot will not do it. It will break the game more then the prawn and HM did (just look how much improvements t22 needed because of those).

Give a negative effect with each upgrade. Tech bound (-1% per tech for several stats (damage, RoF, range, shield, energy etc.), or ship class bound (HF -10% damage, +10% elec temp, LF +10% vis, -10% RoF) to balance things out.

Or another idea, give every ship it's own new negative stats (prawn take away the damage, HM +15% shield regen instead of 25%).

Ask the players if the new idea is balanced, we are also here to improve the game, don't let us destroy the game!

Yup! I'm hoping it'll make it easier to find groups with everyone resetting at the same time. We're doing just Serengeti UZ first, just in case there are any issues that need to be worked out (either bugs, or issues that arise from the design) before rolling it out to all of the other instanced content.

As for the ship tech upgrade uproar, I think we'll have to mark specific ships as non-upgrade (unforge being the perfect example). I'll have to discuss this with the rest of the team though, thank you for your input everyone.
