New Universe Content
We are planning to do a universe reset in the next few weeks, and here is a list of what you can expect content wise from it.
New items to the Paxian and Ancient Ruins: I will be adding at least 1 new item to each ancient ruin, and between five to ten new items to the Paxian ruins. This will result in more items per Paxian ruin being found. The items added to the Paxian Ruins will include Merchant Combat shields similar to the Mythos Web, Passive Radars with Ping Abilities, Attached and Unattached Drones, as well as a possible Resistance Field Generator. The Ancient ruins will receive an item that is themed to their attribute, Stealth for the Bule, Energy for the Faranji, Shielding for the Vazaha, and Freighter for the Mzungu. I will continue to add new items to the Ancient ruins as the game progresses, and hopefully they will be useful.
Warden and Cadet Ranks: I am adding a Pirate Crest based reward system for the Cadet and Warden mission lines. This will be similar to the Constable and Enforcer Rank rewards. Expect to see a Warden's Catapult, Radar, Attitude Tweak as well as the ability to get multiple Wardens and Warden's Sidearms. The Cadet missions will offer the Cadet's Charger, Radar and Catapult, as well as the Enforcer Scout Augmenter. Eventually, you can expect the Earthforce Rank missions to offer a full set of items for each ship reward, very similar to that we have for the Constable.
Graveyard Content: I have added a global commodity drop similar to that of Pirate Crests and Scorched Trader Signet. Collecting these for Professor Logan will result in him giving you Paranormal Diplomas which can be used for access to his inventions. This content will also have the Mini Mad Scientist as a reward. Hopefully with access to this ship, lower level dungeon parties will be accompanied by a lower level Shield Monkey.

I hope that even though ppl have finished the warden missions, they can still get the new items somehow.

Cael there are no such things as Lower Level dungeon parties.
The game has too few players for lower levels to have to do things themselves.
Whenever i go DGing i never have anyone around my level because noone around my level is on...

The problem is that DGs under DF 100 drop nothing but worthless junk, so people don't team up for DGing... They only DG to level quickly, and most people can solo either through kiting, drones, or having good shields...
