Loveletter fixes, and other things.

Hi all!

Let's cover some general changes before moving on to Loveletter fixes:

- The Dregs was unnecessarily harder than the newbie areas of other factions on account of its vicious and ravenous rodents. These rodents have been brought down to size to compare with the difficulty of other factional newbie areas.
- The salvage bots in Delta Deck and scattered other variations of these were incorrectly using a double damage attack. This has been fixed.
- Faction favors now have an 8 hour cooldown instead of a 24 hour one. This was changed a few weeks ago, but I neglected to mention it.

Hats off to our new Cadets for getting to some of these long-standing PvE balance issues! We're excited for you to meet them when they're ready, but I'd be remiss were I to not acknowledge their contributions in this!

And loveletters:

- You can now target loveletters normally when doing LOVELETTER SEND. It no longer mandates you use its specific ID.
- Loveletter daily stats weren't getting cleared out correctly at Sync. They'll do so now, but your values for today will also include yesterday's.
- You'll no longer receive repeat messages when receiving the "sent the letter that was sent the most times" Sync bonus reward.

Regards,
Neritus

A plea hits the Starmourn news boards from a new name on sector comms: To whom it may concern, My name is Marlee Xalex and I am a researcher of- well that’s not the important bit. I have reached an apex in my research into the Vihana creatures of the Ishvana’s now well-known Facilities which…

Wonders abound in April, as do pranks and glee!

In acknowledgement of our low population and in an effort to consolidate our playerbase, the Starmourn Admin team has made the bold and brave decision to merge our three Factions into one united front: The Scattered Song Ascendancy! … Kidding, we’re kidding!!
