Ships & Systems Classification Changes
Dresden and Tohoku moved to independent worlds.
Cologne moved to Rheinland.
Earhart added to Uncharted.
Important changes regarding Earhart:
Rule Changes - Additions
2.8- All IDs can:
- Have ZoI in Earhart.
- Can pirate any NON ALLIED players for the following resources: Cerulite Crystals, Chirodebris, Cryo-Organisms and Organic Capacitors whilst in Uncharted Systems.
- Cologne (now Independent again) and Edinburgh (now Taus) removed from House Space.
The former appears to have been something of a team miscommunication, and was intended to remain part of the two-system border corridor between Rheinland and Gallia.
Edinburgh really never should have been house space. House control over the system has gone from marginal to non-existent.
The laws of the two houses have been appropriately edited as well.
In preparation for the SoonTM return of full Player Base functionality, Player Base rules have also been updated and polished. They're a lot shorter and cleaner, and besides the effects of the new 5.0 base mechanics, there aren't really any major changes. Some of the siege timing mechanics are different now though, so check those out.
