March Game Update

Badges and Collections​

• Nym's Badge of Honor can now be attained by conversing with Nym after you have completed the Nym's Theme Park Content Master Collection.

Buffs​

• Inspiration Buffs​

  • Inspiration buffs now persist even if you log out or crash and now behave like other buffs. Inspiration buffs are not dispelled upon death but will decay by 5 minutes.
  • All inspiration buffs are now fully functioning as intended and the value of their attributes display correctly to the client.
  • The "Surveying" buff has been removed due to feasibility constraints at this time.
  • A "PvP Decay Resistance" buff has been added.
  • Some buffs have been rearranged so they follow a more logical order, so please be sure to be patient with entertainers as they adjust. Likewise, the descriptions of all buffs have been modified so their syntax is consistent and the effectors more accurately depict what is changed by the buff package.

• Doctor Buffs​

  • A new module for droids, the Thyferran Buff Enhancement Module, has been added.
  • When attached to a player-owned droid, the Thyferran Buff Enhancement Module will add a radial option to the spawned droid that nearby players can use to purchase a temporary buff enhancement that lasts for five minutes. When active, the buff enhancement will increase the duration of all doctor buffs received for the duration purchased.
  • By purchasing the highest tier of available enhancement, players can double the duration of their doctor buffs.
  • When a player purchases the buff enhancement, they will consume between 3% to 5% of the droid's battery (dependent on the tier of enhancement purchased). Once the droid's battery has been fully depleted, the buff enhancement purchase option will no longer be available; however, any player can now provide a battery to a droid to give it more power.

• Non-crafted space parts now display a percentage value associated with each stat in the attributes window for the object (i.e., the quality of the stat relative to the quality of the stat on other parts of the same time).

Please note that it is possible for a stat to exceed 100% quality, especially after it has been reverse engineered.
