This is a multi-purpose blog. First I'll announce that the ghost/zombie, Stramineus, and Joe's Halloween items will be disappearing on the 10th. Hunt those ghosts while you can!

Next, some small updates/bug fixes.

The padding on forum posts was bugged after the anonymous forum update. I fixed that (also added 10 px padding on top of forum posts, up from the 5px before. I think it looks nicer).

I added the active skills on a drone run on mouseover of the drones module and on the drone bays page.

I buffed the drone skill Evasion, so that it rolls Reliability * 3 instead of 2. With 25 Reliability, you'd have a 75% chance of evading danger, up from 50%. It was one of the least used skills, so hopefully this encourages more players to try it. Heavy Forcefield and Nanobot Repairs are also underused, but not sure how to go about buffing them.

Finally, everybody go sign up in Wolf's Werewolves thread in Games Forum. It'll be fun, I promise.

Just a heads up, I changed the Sentry Control objective to an Alien Artifact temporarily. The sentries spawned had a bug where if you tried to attack them you'd be brought to an error page, unless you first refreshed your page before clicking Attack. With sentries moving in and out of squares it became really difficult to even attack them.

Sorry for the abrupt change, but I think it's the best choice to preserve everyone's sanity until the bug gets fixed.

Okay, there is an existing bug where Rare/Epic/Godlike Blueprints are not rewarding XP to those with Crafting level 9.

If you have any and are at level 9, hold off until it is fixed.
If you have used any when at Level 9, drop me a PM.
