Bloodlines Patch Notes

Fixes, Changes and Improvements

Ships

• Shuttle icons now display the proper racial backgrounds.
• Undocking a capital ship with an assembled ship in the ship maintenance bay no longer causes stuck conditions.
• Capital ship corporation hangars are properly displayed when docked.
• The signature radius of Assault ships have been increased so they are balanced with the TL1 ships they are based on, and not Interceptors.

Weapons and Drones

• Drones will no longer auto-target gang or corp members if that member has been aggressively flagged to you recently.
• An exploit involving drones has been resolved. This involved EW drones causing ships to be permenantly jammed in certain situations.
• Fighters delegated have been modified to display sub-menu's if there are more than 20 members of a gang.
• The capacitor need of all projectile turrets has been removed.
• The capacitor need of blasters has been reduced by 30% and the CPU need has been reduced by 15%.
• The power grid need of all heavy neutron blasters has been decreased by 10%.
• The base damage inflicted by 1200mm, 650mm and 250mm artillery has been increased by 10%.
• The explosion radius of Precision Cruise Missiles has changed to 200m and their base damage inflicted is now 260 points.
• The explosion radius of Precision Heavy Missiles has been increased to 75m and damage reduced to 135 hp.
• The Velocity penalty of Light Precision Missiles has been reduced to 7.5%.
• Tachyon beam damage multiplier increased by about 4%.

Player Owned Structures

• POS sentry standing settings will display small negative values properly.
• Control Towers will no longer break if anchoring, unanchoring or bringing online completed during a downtime.
• Corporate hanger arrays are properly capped at 200k.

Manufacturing

• T2 ship manufacturing uses only repackaged ships. Occassionally, building T2 ships would use an assembled T1 ship, resulting in the loss of the modules fitted (if any).

Miscellaneous

• Links stored in the notepad will no longer cause errors.
• Various minor chat channel and IGB fixes have been made, including:
  • Chat channels are now correctly saved when exiting the client, and reopen correctly on logon.
  • Characters that would appear as HTML text after a cut/copy and paste now appear as normal.
  • Decreasing the size of a chat window no longer causes existing text to overlap.
  • "EVE System" is now its proper red color and double clicking on the system name will open a 'Show Info' window for the system.
  • The IGB has been optimized and now parses pages faster.
  • Text inputs that exceed the specified field size will show the beginning of the text, not the end.
  • A partial fix for pages with a large number of errors has been made. These pages will render more smoothly, but there is still the possibility of a client lock while the page loads.
  • A rare issue with 302 redirects has been resolved.
  • Pre-selected Checkboxes in a table that are unselected will no longer be submitted.
• The client no longer crashes when rendering some Jin-Mei male portraits.
• Quitting the tutorial with an Achura character will no longer cause an Overview error.
