Shortly after the build releases to the PTU tonight we will be running a Fleet Week Event playtest tonight with the Expo Halls (Rotating once per hour), Javelin Tour, and Bengal Flyby!

After reviewing data and feedback from players we have decided to keep the current Scorpius flight tuning for now

  • Damage to player health can become delayed and can trigger after the player has fully healed themselves
  • The Argo Raft’s elevator controls cannot be interacted with from either inside deck

  • Character’s head, mobiGlas, and other equipment can sometimes go missing after being released from Klescher
  • Medical beacon will not complete mission/payment when player is brought back from incapacitation
  • Character animations are not playing when looking at them at a distance through scopes
