    1. Update v1.13:
    2. Changes:
    3. Main Storyline: Operation Phoenix Lost & Found (new)
    4.  
    5. Reworked old main storyline chapters into a consistent 5-part mission campaign to close the gap to Operation Phoenix New Terra campaign (Old missions: Intro, Crashed Bird, Glacial Grave, Meet the Glad, Sigma Fulcrum, Wins & Losses).
    6.  
    7. Note: The remaining old mains story missions have been disabled for now and will be reworked into a new 5-part mission campaign in the future.
    8.  
    9. Testing note: the new mission arc can be started from the PDA when arriving at Omicron Orbit. IDA will notify about the mission being available.
    10.  
    11. Main Storyline: TERMINAL NEXUS (new)
    12.  
    13. Added 5-part story campaign ‘Terminal Nexus’ for Talon/Talon’Ar which is concluding the main storyline. A new savegame IS required.
    14.  
    15. Testing note: As a convenience, the mission can be started without having played other story missions : Open the PDA, then go to the Solo Mission Tab > Talon and activate the mission ‘Next: TERMINAL NEXUS (Main Story)’ and follow the instructions. The quest giver is Tharkan which, in the mission part 1 + 2 is available on Omicron Station as a Hologram. Later he will be available from another place.
    16.  
    17.  
    18.  
    19. Local Story missions:
    20.  
    21. All local story missions on Akua (Clear Skies), Ningues (Andromeda Strain), Masperon (Bad Wolf), Skillon (Deserted Powers) and Ashon (To Good Business) have been reworked and updated
    22.  
    23. Missions in general:
    24.  
    25. All new/reworked story missions (main and local) have gotten additional helper chapters that will both allow to see what to do next (f.ex.: “Next: Talk to…”) or resume a deactivated mission without having to speak to the mission quest giver.
    26.  
    27. Please note that the new story dialogues and texts have not yet been translated.
    28.  
    29. General Info for story testing (not only related to this mission arc): Please avoid using gm, gm iv and gm fly when teleporting or console-teleporting to destinations while testing. This might/will break the PDA operations that are tied to a lot of tasks. Same accounts for teleporting to playfields/suns/orbits with the same gm tools enabled: this can lead to broken jump-bookmarks which cannot be removed by the game afterwards anymore (you can remove them manually, when you are in their target playfield/sector/sun orbit).
    30.  
    31. POI
    32. Added several new POI for the story mission
    33.  
    34. Updated several POI for the rest of the game (thx to all our builders!)

    50.  
    51. The Talon’ar soldiers are using charged crossbow weapons with energy beams (high damage against everything that is biological; The player can use these weapons as 2-mode weapon in the Terminal Nexus mission 3 and as a reward afterwards; It cannot be crafted; It does only damage biological beings!)

    54.  
    55. Added new Portal blocks: Tech portal (with frame) and “free standing” spherical portals in different sizes from 3x3 to 87x87 blocks (only the anchor point is set as a destroy/multitool collider; Overlapping of the sphere with regular blocks is possible; All of the sphere is a contact trigger for teleport).

    145.  
    146. The pirate ‘trading station’ is now less obvious and hides as a far-out asteroid field on the map- possibly even in other faction territories. Silent Quarter region has rare but clearly visible Pirate stations.

    269. Replace a Structure/Blueprint at runtime:
    270. Content Creators can now replace a given structure with a different blueprint at runtime. This allows, for example, time travel scenarios or a POI that changes over time with different devices or loot inside. Technically, this can be done in PDA missions by using the PlayfieldOp “ReplaceStructureStandingIn” element.
    271.  
    272. Field repair
    273. When activated on the CV/BA the block is placed on it will repair damaged blocks & devices up to their full HP. The player has to go to the device to use it; it's not accessible via the control panel.

    302. Added new UCH POIs (thx to Stellar_Titan)
    303. Added new loot tables and variations for UCH npcs
    304. IMPORTANT NOTE TO CREATORS (Builders/Scenarios) about the UCH Model replacements: The new UCH-NPC models do not automatically replace old UCH models, as they have different configurations and technical settings. Furthermore, the new models are now considered the standard models used with the UCH faction. This means that if you base your EClassConfig on that of the standard scenario and/or use the now obsolete entities such as ‘UCHSoldierFemale2AssaultRifle’ in one of your POIs, they may no longer be spawned. Ideally, you would replace them with the new UCH models in the POI spawners. Alternatively, you could re-enable the outdated entity definition for the UCH in the EClassConfig (search for the line ‘OUTDATED / NO LONGER CANON for UCH!’ in the configuration file for more details). However, the latter only works for scenarios that use/want to use their own EClassconfig. Not for individual blueprints, e.g. in the workshop.

    421. Note for Epic players: If you have a PC stats overlay enabled (such as MSI Afterburner + RivaTuner), it may prevent the User Agreement GUI from loading when the client starts for the first time, causing a loading screen loop. This also affects the GUI for linking Steam and Epic accounts & the Epic in-game social UI (shift+F3) from loading. Epic Store players should disable any overlays and restart the game to agree to the User Agreement.

Only players added to your friends list can see and join any Co-op games from the server browser's "Friends" tab. When a friend on either platform is hosting a Co-op session & you want to play together, check the server browser's "Friends" tab to find the Co-op server in the list.
