Cosmpiercer and rewards.

Written by: Ilyos, the Arbiter

Addressed to:


Based on your Cosmpiercer feedback and to address a few issues regarding availability of commodities for producing basic supplies, we've done the following:

- There is now a (Conflict) channel that automatically announces to EVERYONE when a Cosmpiercer is vulnerable/invulnerable/under attack. You can opt out of these messages via CONFIG MUTECONFLICTCHANNEL. You cannot communicate on this channel, it is informative only
- You can now SHIPINSURANCE TOWREQUEST a ship that is docked a Cosmpiercer
- For the first five minutes of a Cosmpiercer Battle ANYONE can use the Warp Engine, regardless of who controls the cosmpiercer and the Warp Engine is FREE (it will still drain the energy but you can use it even if it's at 0 energy)
- FACTIONS COSMPIERCER REWARDS: Instead of being flat out paid in marks, factions will now receive redeemable commodity credit. This credit can be redeemed for marks (ratio 1:1) or for any type of RAW commodity (ratio 100:1). Those with the STORAGE faction powers will now find the relevant syntax under the FACTION STORAGE verb. Commodities redeemed this way will always be deposited at your main factional station (Reynolds, Danica, Crossings). Personal mark payouts are not affected by this and stay the same way. Value of org/personal payouts have not changed.
- Those of you with MINING specialization in manufacturing will now receive a +0.5% yield boost per each Cosmpiercer your faction owns (this is on top of the 10% you had)
- CPs now stay vulnerable for 4 hours instead of 2 and their immunity timer has been increased by 50% but with lesser variance.


-----
- A few typos and color issues have been addressed with the FitBod
- Some issues with the Bioscanner Stabilizer have been fixed
